Willson Contreras is sidelined for now with no clear return date, as the team prioritizes his recovery over immediate performance. If Aroldis Chapman misses significant time, there’s no clear closer ready to step in — though Johan Oviedo’s strong rehab outing (98.5 mph, 4 Ks in 2+ innings) offers hope. Meanwhile, Caleb Durbin’s severely dislocated pinkie finger, still locked at nearly a right angle months after re-injury, may require surgery post-season, but he’s staying in the game for now. The team’s navigating tough injury waters — but managing for now.
