What happened: ESPN issued a game advisory for Richie Palacios, noting an injury delay in the top of the fifth inning. The score was 0-4 at the time of the advisory.
Why it matters: Any in-game injury stoppage creates immediate roster and availability questions, especially with MLB in the regular season. The report did not specify the nature of the issue or whether Palacios left the game.
By the numbers: Palacios had a prior 2026 injured-list stint for a right ring finger fracture from March 26 to April 17, missing 18 games, according to club game notes surfaced in search. Wire.Report also tracked a separate Palacios injury delay on May 30.
What to watch: Watch for an official status update after the delay and whether Palacios remains in the game. Postgame comments should clarify if additional evaluation is needed.
