Welcome to the Fantrax MLB Injury Report for Tuesday, June 10, 2025. In today’s edition, we learn more about Michael King’s standstill with himself, Bryce Miller’s ongoing injury issues, and Justin Martinez’s frustrations with his elbow. All of that and so much more in today’s MLB Injury Report from Fantrax.
MLB Injury Report
Michael King – SP San Diego Padres
Mike Shildt said they are still gathering information on Michael King’s injury. Mentioned that it is not common with baseball players.
He has played some catch, but the recommendation is rest.
In a holding pattern to see what it is and how to treat it.

Arguably, the most ominous news of the day, this one hits hard. Michael King has been on the Injured List for two weeks now with a shoulder injury believed to be caused by an incident during his sleep one night. While that is conceivable, given that he is a human being like the rest of us, a nerve issue that has not allowed him to do much of anything is worrisome. He said that he would pitch again in 2025, but there were reports that the team is considering all options, which are not limited to rest. What that could mean is surgery, though it wasn’t said in as many words. This is something to watch, and something that all Michael King owners need to be prepared for in case the worst-case scenario comes to fruition.
Bryce Miller – SP Seattle Mariners
Bryce Miller to the IL. Logan Evans starts tomorrow. Bryan Woo on Wednesday.
“The cortisone shot didn’t help as much as hoped,” Dan Wilson
— Tim Booth (@ByTimBooth) June 10, 2025
When Miller was last on the Injured List, he explained that both he and the team believed that they had his elbow injury under control. They had narrowed down the issue to its location, cause, and knew how to manage it for the rest of the season. It turns out that A) the cortisone shot he took didn’t help like it should have, B) it would hinder his performance, and C) he may need to be shut down for quite a while, a lot sooner than even he anticipated. Their proclamation seemed dubious at the time, possibly because of this writer’s issues with believing the words spoken and the diagnosis at the time. However, with a recurring injury, there’s a chance that Seattle attacks the problem now with surgery. If they feel that they can no longer manage the situation, it may be time to address the issue ahead of schedule.
Ryan Weathers – SP Miami Marlins
#Marlins placed LHP Ryan Weathers on the 60-day injured list with a left lat strain per transaction page.
— Christina De Nicola (@CDeNicola13) June 9, 2025
This was a very quick transaction, as Weather went from being a highly anticipated pitcher, to getting hit in the head, to having shoulder issues. Weathers saw his velocity drop in his last start, making him quite hittable. It was later revealed that this drop was not because of getting hit in the head, but rather his lat strain. The fact that he was almost immediately placed on the 60-Day Injured List signifies that this is a serious ailment and that he may miss more than the 60-day minimum. As they say, life comes at you fast, and this is a prime example.
Justin Martinez – RP Arizona Diamondbacks
Justin Martinez: Right elbow tightness
“I feel bad “ pic.twitter.com/NLVREkZcsP
— Jack Sommers (@shoewizard59) June 10, 2025
Martinez threw 19 pitches last night, and after his last one, he called for the trainer. He will likely go back on the Injured List, this time for an elbow injury. You can see on his face that he looks frustrated and possibly a little bit scared, which is completely natural here. Chances are he needs time away. Stay tuned.
Hunter Greene – SP Cincinnati Reds
Hunter Greene on way to LA for second medical opinion on back and groin. #Reds
— Gordon Wittenmyer (@GDubMLB) June 9, 2025
This is usually an ominous sign for players, as a second opinion likely means that the first opinion was either incredibly drastic or the status of the injured body part is unclear. Either way, Greene is suffering from multiple injuries, making this a double dosage of worries. Of the two, his back ailment is the one with the most potential danger, given that backs can be so fragile at times with extreme possibilities.
Tony Gonsolin – SP Los Angeles Dodgers
Tony Gonsolin noted feeling “achy” in his elbow coming out of his last start. Tried not throwing for a day, then felt achy again after playing catch. Said he felt relief after scans showed he had no damage to his UCL. But still TBD how long he will be down from throwing.
— Fabian Ardaya (@FabianArdaya) June 9, 2025
It’s sounding like it will be a while before we see Gonsolin back on the mound for the Dodgers. Even after playing catch, his elbow feels achy, which is not a great sign. The team may be looking at alternate plans if this achiness continues after a brief shutdown.
Emmett Sheehan – SP Los Angeles Dodgers
Emmet Sheehan’s next rehab outing should be at least four innings, Dave Roberts said. From there, there could be a conversation about him being a rotation option with the big league club.
— Fabian Ardaya (@FabianArdaya) June 9, 2025
Great news for the Dodgers, who need healthy arms to take over the empty spots in their rotation.
Jorge Soler – OF Los Angeles Angels
Jorge Soler is still waiting on the results of his MRI exam, Ron Washington said. LaMonte Wade Jr. will see time as a corner outfielder when he joins the roster. Mike Trout is still not cleared to play right field.
— Rhett Bollinger (@RhettBollinger) June 9, 2025
It would appear that now we know why the Angels went out to acquire LaMonte Wade Jr., since Mike Trout is not yet ready to play in the field. They must be worried that Soler will miss some time here, and as such, they went out and actively sought to fill the position when someone was available.
Max Scherzer – SP Toronto Blue Jays
Max Scherzer feeling good. Bullpen session slated for Tuesday or Wednesday tentatively followed by 60-65 pitch start at AAA Friday. Would likely need 2+ rehab starts before rejoining Jays.
— Ben Nicholson-Smith (@bnicholsonsmith) June 9, 2025
Scherzer continues to show progress here, though his steps forward are very small, with his timing spread out. Still, his first test will be this Friday, when he attempts to make a minor league rehab start. If that goes well, and he’s able to do it multiple times, we could see him in the Jays’ lineup before the end of the month.
