Today’s show starts where it always seems to lately—with Gerrit Cole and the slow, deliberate march back. Rehab updates are easy to skim past this time of year, but this one matters. The timeline, the pitch build, the expectations—it all feeds into what the Yankees are really getting, and when.

From there, we shift to Philadelphia, where things got complicated in a hurry. Jhoan Duran hits the board with a muscle issue that doesn’t sound like much until you consider how hard he throws, and what that does to the margins. Then there’s J.T. Realmuto, the quiet backbone of the Phillies, dealing with the kind of wear-and-tear that tends to show up all at once for catchers. Context matters here, and we dig into what these injuries mean beyond just days missed.

Edward takes us deeper, zooming out to look at roster fragility—specifically how even big payroll teams can crack under pressure. The New York Mets are in the middle of a 10-game slide as we record, and it’s not just bad luck. It’s structural, and it’s familiar.

We also check in on Tatsuya Imai and Jackson Holliday, including a great clip from Cardinals Territory with Matt Holliday breaking down what’s going on with his son—one of those moments where experience cuts through the noise.

Wrap it up with a TV recommendation, a pour of something worth your shelf space, and you’ve got a full episode of Injury Territory.
