Yankees' top prospect Jasson Dominguez is facing up to eight weeks on the injured list due to a moderate oblique strain, marking his second significant injury in two seasons.

Minnesota Twins' Carlos Correa exited the game with a right oblique strain, adding to the team's injury concerns with star closer Jhoan Duran and budding star Royce Lewis already sidelined.

With other key players also dealing with injuries, the team faces challenges early in the season.
Atlanta Braves' catcher Sean Murphy has been diagnosed with a grade 1 left oblique strain, which is the best possible scenario for such an injury, as it avoids a more severe strain or tear. The average recovery time for hitters with this grade of oblique strain is just under a month, but there can be a wide range of variance in recovery. With the Braves having depth at the position, Murphy likely won’t be rushed back, especially as oblique injuries can be tricky.
Cincinnati Reds rookie infielder Matt McLain has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a right oblique strain, a major setback for the team as they vie for a National League Wild Card spot. The severity of the injury is still being determined, but manager David Bell hopes for a quick recovery.

Since his debut in May, McLain has been a valuable player for the Reds, and his absence comes at a crucial time for the team.
Minnesota Twins' star rookie, Royce Lewis, will be placed on the injured list due to an oblique strain. Lewis, who recently returned from a torn ACL, suffered the setback during a game against the Baltimore Orioles.

The Twins are expected to call up Jose Miranda as a replacement, although no official announcement has been made yet.
Houston Astros' Yordan Alvarez will be out for at least four weeks due to an oblique strain injury. The Astros' general manager, Dana Brown, stated that it will take two weeks to assess the healing process and another week to determine when Alvarez can start to have some activity.

Alvarez has hit 17 homers and 55 RBIs in 57 games this season.
Dansby Swanson left the game after the 5th inning due to lower left side tightness. There is concern that it could be an oblique strain, which could keep him out for a while.

Seattle Mariners utility player Dylan Moore has been diagnosed with a Grade One oblique strain, which will require him to be shut down from baseball activity for two to four weeks. This means he will likely open the season on the injured list and head out on a minor league rehab assignment before his 2023 debut at the MLB level. Moore had been set to reprise his role as one of Scott Servais’ top options off the bench, but his absence will give other players a chance to step up, including Kolten Wong, J.P. Crawford, Tommy La Stella, Sam Haggerty, Drew Ellis, and Mason McCoy.
