Diamondbacks Select Pavin Smith
Pavin Smith is back in Arizona. The Diamondbacks designated the lefty batter for assignment and sent him outright to Triple-A Reno in July. Tonight, he will return to the roster and the starting lineup as the D-backs take on the Rangers (as first reported by Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports). Catcher/DH Adrian Del Castillo is […]
Nationals Claim Chase Hampton
The Nationals announced that right-hander Chase Hampton has been claimed off the Yankees’ waiver wire, and optioned to Double-A. To create a 40-man roster spot, Washington moved right-hander Matt Waldron from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL, so Waldron’s 2026 season is officially over. New York designated Hampton for assignment earlier this week, […]
Rays Designate Michael Grove For Assignment
The Rays announced that right-hander Michael Grove has been designated for assignment. The move opens up a 40-man roster spot for righty Brody Hopkins, whose contract was selected earlier today. Formerly a standout in the Dodgers farm system, Grove earned a World Series ring with L.A. in 2024 but delivered only a 5.48 ERA over […]
Rays Select Brody Hopkins
2:39PM: Hopkins’ selection has been officially announced by the Rays. Right-hander Alex Cook was optioned to Triple-A to create room on the active roster, and right-hander Michael Grove was designated for assignment. (MLBTR explored the Grove transaction in greater detail here.) 1:20PM: The Rays will be selecting right-hander Brody Hopkins’ contract before today’s game with […]
Cubs Activate Edward Cabrera, Place Trent Thornton On 15-Day IL
The Cubs have activated right-hander Edward Cabrera from the 15-day injured list, and placed Trent Thornton on the 15-day IL due to a left ankle sprain. (MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian was the first to report the news.) Cabrera will essentially be taking Thornton’s place in the bullpen, as the Cubs plan to use Cabrera as a […]
Latest On Joe Jimenez
Right-hander Joe Jimenez faced five batters during a live batting practice session on Friday before the Braves’ game with the Phillies. It marked the first time Jimenez has faced live hitters in almost two years, since the reliever’s appearance in Game 2 of the Braves’ 2024 Wild Card Series matchup with the Padres. About a […]
Red Sox Notes: White, Mead, Crochet
The Red Sox placed outfielder Eli White on the 10-day injured list on Friday (retroactive to September 9), and called infielder Anthony Siegler up from Triple-A in the corresponding move. White is dealing with a ligament injury in his right foot, which he picked up after crashing into a gated portion of Fenway Park’s center […]
Twins Promote Emmanuel Rodriguez For MLB Debut
The Twins announced that top outfield prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez has been called up from Triple-A St. Paul. Infielder Ben Ross was optioned to Triple-A in the corresponding move, and Rodriguez is already on Minnesota’s 40-man roster. Rodriguez figures to make his big league debut in today’s game with the Guardians, and it is fair to […]
Jesus Luzardo Scratched From Start Due To Shoulder Stiffness
Jesus Luzardo and Tyler Mahle have been two of the best pitchers in baseball over the last month, making for a tremendous pitching matchup in today’s game between the Phillies and Braves. However, the Phils will now be going with a bullpen game, as manager Don Mattingly told the media last night that Luzardo has […]
The Opener: Brewers, Caminero, Wild Card Races
While Shohei Ohtani’s IL placement has dominated the headlines, the rest of the Dodgers seem to be rounding into postseason form. Friday’s 6-2 victory over the Marlins extended the Dodgers’ winning streak to eight games, as Kyle Tucker’s seventh-inning grand slam was the decisive blow. Los Angeles has an 11-game lead in the NL West […]
MLB Mailbag: Williams, Cardinals, Marlins, Ohtani
This week’s Mailbag looks at a potential Gavin Williams extension, the Cardinals’ wealth of catching talent, reasons for optimism in Miami, and Shohei Ohtani’s future as a two-way player. Let’s get into it! Kyle asks: When does Cleveland extend Gavin Williams or do they trade him? Do you think he can win a CY at […]
KBO’s NC Dinos Sign Mike Clevinger
The NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization announced they’ve signed right-hander Mike Clevinger (h/t to Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net). It’s a six-week deal as an injury replacement for righty Curtis Taylor. Clevinger, an ACES client, will be paid $75K. Taylor, who has a 4.78 ERA across 23 starts on the season, reportedly injured his shoulder […]
Elieser Hernández Elects Free Agency
Elieser Hernández elected free agency after being outrighted by the Braves on Friday, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Atlanta designated him for assignment on Wednesday. Hernández has had three separate MLB stints for Atlanta this year. He’s logged 11 innings of three-run ball over four long relief outings. The Braves have quickly shuttled him […]
Which Pitchers Will Receive The Qualifying Offer?
As the regular season winds down, almost half the league is focused on the upcoming offseason. One of the first major decisions which teams need to make is whether to issue any of their free agents a qualifying offer. That needs to happen within five days of the end of the World Series. The qualifying […]
Eric Lauer To Miss Remainder Of Season
The Dodgers transferred Eric Lauer from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list on Friday afternoon. That opened the necessary 40-man roster spot to call up top prospect Josue De Paula. Lauer just landed on the injured list on September 2 with elbow inflammation. Even with the 60-day window backdating to the original IL date, he’s officially […]
Byron Buxton To Undergo Season-Ending Hip Surgery
The Twins won’t be getting Byron Buxton back this year. Manager Derek Shelton told reporters, including Bobby Nightengale of the Minnesota Star Tribune, that Buxton will have arthroscopic surgery on his right hip next Friday. More details on his timeline will be available after the surgery but Shelton says it’s possible Buxton could be ready […]
2026-27 Player Option/Opt-Out Preview: September Edition
At the end of each season, certain players will have to decide whether to stick with their current contracts or become free agents. These contract provisions are sometimes referred to as opt-outs and sometimes as player options. Despite the different terminology, they are effectively the same, with the player being the one making the call. […]
Braves Place Lane Thomas On Injured List
3:24pm: Thomas’ intercostal strain could wind up sidelining him for as much as a month, per MLB.com’s Mark Bowman. He’s planning to visit a specialist this weekend to see if there are any treatment plans that can accelerate that timeline, but that initial timeline would shelve him all the way into a theoretical NLCS run […]
Front Office Subscriber Chat Transcript
Anthony Franco Good afternoon, hope all is well! Looking forward to another of these, let’s get it rolling CrosbyBaseball It feels like the Atlanta Braves, based on recent playoff flops (not winning a series since 2021), might have the most pressure in the NL to not get eliminated in their first-round matchup. Does that track […]
