Los Angeles Angels' third baseman Anthony Rendon revealed that he has been diagnosed with a fractured tibia, contradicting the team's previous description of his injury as a deep bone bruise. Rendon stated that the fracture diagnosis occurred while the team was visiting his hometown in August. The Angels' general manager has not commented on the matter. Rendon's agent insists that there is no disconnect between the player's doctors and the team's medical staff. Rendon's return this season is unlikely, and his availability for next year remains uncertain.
New York Mets' power hitter Pete Alonso has been placed on the injured list for at least three to four weeks due to a bone bruise and sprain in his left wrist after being hit by a fastball.

The Mets have lost five consecutive games and are now 8.5 games out of first place.
