The New York Yankees dominated the San Francisco Giants 7-0 in MLB's Opening Night game Wednesday, with pitcher Max Fried delivering a stellar performance. Fried allowed just two hits over 6 and one-third innings with no earned runs, silencing the Giants' offense despite Aaron Judge going hitless in his Opening Day at-bat. The Yankees' offense came alive with contributions from José Caballero, whose RBI double sparked the rally, Ryan McMahon's two-run single, and Trent Grisham's two-run triple that put the game out of reach.

The injury report reveals a significant number of roster moves across baseball. The Toronto Blue Jays placed three pitchers on the injured list: José Berríos with a right elbow stress fracture, Shane Bieber with right elbow inflammation, and Yimi García requiring elbow surgery. Other notable injuries include Houston's Josh Hader sidelined with left biceps tendinitis and Brandon Walter placed on the 60-day list for left elbow surgery recovery. The New York Yankees placed shortstop Anthony Volpe on the 10-day injured list due to recovery from left shoulder surgery, while the New York Mets' third baseman Vidal Bruján was designated for assignment.

Several teams made roster adjustments, including the Seattle Mariners releasing catcher Andrew Knizner and placing pitcher Bryce Miller on the 15-day list for a left oblique strain. The Atlanta Braves placed shortstop Ha-Seong Kim on the 10-day list with a right middle finger laceration. Additional injuries affect key players across the league, from the Boston Red Sox's Anthony Seigler dealing with left knee patellar tendinopathy to the Miami Marlins placing two players on injured lists.

Pitcher designations for assignment include several prospects who didn't make Opening Day rosters: Luis Matos from the Giants, Bryan Hudson from the Mets, Korey Lee from the White Sox, and others cut to trim rosters ahead of the season opener.

The MLB season is now underway with teams ramping up their Opening Day preparations. Multiple games are scheduled across the league in the coming days, with the Yankees and Giants set for Game Two on March 27th.
