Finger injury for Yankees shortstop
MLB notebook
BALTIMORE — New York Yankees shortstop Jose Caballero has been sidelined with a sore finger and will undergo tests to determine the extent of the injury.
Caballero hurt his right middle finger diving back to first base in Sunday’s loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. He was not in starting lineup Monday night when the Yankees opened a three-game series against the Orioles.
New York manager Aaron Boone said Caballero will see a hand specialist in New York on Tuesday and undergo tests and perhaps an MRI to see if there is a fracture. Caballero is batting .259 with four homers, 13 RBIs and 13 stolen bases in 40 games through Sunday.

– Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt will miss a second straight game because of a viral infection. Bench coach Tony Arnerich was the acting manager again when the Guardians played the Los Angeles Angels in the opener of a three-game series on Monday night. He said Vogt is feeling better and should be back in the dugout tonight. Vogt was the AL Manager of the Year in both 2024 and 2025, his first two seasons as a major league manager.
– Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi was scratched from his scheduled start because of left side tightness. He had been set to pitch Monday night at home in a series opener against Arizona. Eovaldi is 4-4 this season and coming off consecutive wins against the Yankees in his last two starts. He limited the Yankees to one run and struck out 15 over 15 innings in those games.
– Houston’s Carlos Correa had surgery to repair a torn tendon in his left ankle Monday. The star infielder was injured last week and said the following day that he would need the season-ending surgery. Manager Joe Espada said Correa made a FaceTime call to him while he was in the advance meeting with Houston’s position players Monday before the start of a four-game series against Seattle. Recovery time is expected to be 6-8 months.
