Stanford’s Madison Le Withdraws From NCAA Tournament After Injury in Second Round

Stanford University baseball player Madison Le has withdrawn from the NCAA Stanford Regional after suffering an injury during the second round of competition on May 12, 2026.

The announcement came following a game in which Le, a senior, was unable to continue playing due to the injury. Stanford officials did not immediately release details about the nature of the injury, but team and university statements confirmed Le would miss the remainder of the tournament.

Le’s withdrawal marks a setback for the Stanford Cardinal, who were competing in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2024. The team had advanced to the regional finals after a strong performance in the opening rounds, but the injury to one of their key players could impact their postseason prospects.

Stanford’s baseball program, known for its rigorous training and competitive record, has faced challenges in recent seasons with player health and availability. The university’s athletic department has emphasized recovery protocols and injury prevention as priorities, though no specific details about Le’s condition or recovery timeline have been disclosed.

As of May 13, 2026, Stanford has not issued further updates on Le’s status. The Cardinal’s next scheduled game is pending, with the team expected to reassess its lineup and strategy following the injury.
