Dodgers Release Chuckie Robinson
The Dodgers have released catcher Chuckie Robinson, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The backstop had been designated for assignment and passed through outright waivers last week. It’s unclear why Robinson was released but perhaps it’s related to the recent changes in the Dodgers’ catching depth. Not so long ago, the Dodgers had Will […]

Poll: Checking In On The NL MVP Race
Back in June, I wrote about the early front-runners in the American League MVP conversation. I didn’t do the same for the National League because there wasn’t much conversation to be had. At the time, Shohei Ohtani was hitting .302 with 14 home runs and a league-leading .975 OPS. Even more impressive was his 1.06 […]
Rockies Outright Edouard Julien
The Rockies announced that infielder Edouard Julien has cleared waivers and been sent outright to Triple-A Albuquerque. He had been designated for assignments earlier this week when Colorado recalled outfielder Zac Veen. Julien, now 27, once seemed like a potential building block for the Twins. As a minor leaguer, he wasn’t a strong defender and […]

To open a 40-man spot for this claim, San Francisco transferred right-hander Trevor McDonald to the 60-day injured list. McDonald required Tommy John surgery earlier this […]
Rays Designate Trevor Martin For Assignment

The Bucs […]
Red Sox Place Garrett Whitlock On Injured List
11:42am: The Sox formally announced Whitlock’s placement on the 15-day IL. It’s retroactive to Aug. 10, so he can return in as little as 12 days.

The Opener: Bregman, Rays, Field Of Dreams

Athletics Outright Jonathan Ornelas
The A’s sent infielder Jonathan Ornelas outright to Triple-A Las Vegas, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. This is his second career outright, which gives him the right to elect free agency. Ornelas was designated for assignment on Monday when Zack Gelof came back from a knee laceration. He had only been selected onto the big league […]
Mariners Sign Scott Effross To Minor League Deal
The Mariners signed reliever Scott Effross to a minor league contract. The deal was announced by the team’s Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma, where the right-hander has reported. Effross had spent this season on a minor league contract with Detroit. He missed time early but has been healthy since April 22. Effross made 27 appearances for […]
Yandy Díaz Reaches Vesting Option Threshold
Rays designated hitter Yandy Díaz reached 500 plate appearances on the season earlier this week. In the process, he triggered the vesting threshold in his contract for 2027. Díaz still needs to pass a postseason physical, but assuming he finishes the year healthy, he’s officially signed for next season. That also comes with a slight […]

The Rays are signing utility infielder Jorge Mateo to a big league contract, reports Francys Romero. A client of The Movement Baseball, Mateo was released by the Braves last week.

Orioles Acquire Harold Rivas As PTBNL In Rutschman Trade
6:49pm: Chris Cotillo of MassLive reports that Rivas’ inclusion was agreed upon by the teams at the time of the trade but was conditional on Rutschman making a smooth return from the wrist issue that had sidelined him at the deadline. If the three-time All-Star catcher had suffered a setback, Boston would have sent cash […]
Mets Sign Chris Devenski To Minor League Deal
The Mets have signed right-hander Chris Devenski to a minor league deal, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He elected free agency a few days ago after being outrighted by the Pirates. He has now been assigned to Triple-A Syracuse. Devenski, 35, had some really strong results with the Astros early in his career. […]
The White Sox’ New Top Starter
The White Sox surprisingly hold a 2.5 game division lead as we near the three-quarter mark of the regular season. They’d have a first-round bye if the season ended today. Chicago has ceded some ground to the red hot Tigers with a 3-6 showing this month, but they’ve already won more games (61) than they […]
Tigers Place Riley Greene On Injured List
The Tigers announced that outfielder Riley Greene has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.

Marlins’ William Kempner To Undergo Elbow Surgery
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough announced Wednesday that righty William Kempner will undergo elbow surgery. Specifics weren’t provided, but Marlins.tv host Craig Mish suggested an absence of 12 to 14 months. If that’s indeed the case, it would likely point to a UCL-related procedure. In some instances, surgeons don’t know whether a full ligament reconstruction (Tommy […]
Red Sox Designate Seth Martinez For Assignment
3:25pm: The Sox have now made these moves official. 12:15pm: The Red Sox are expected to designate righty Seth Martinez for assignment, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Mariners Claim Willie MacIver
The Mariners announced that they have claimed catcher Willie MacIver off waivers from the Blue Jays and sent him to Triple-A Tacoma. Toronto had designated him for assignment a few days ago.

Blue Jays Claim Paul Sewald, Place Jake Bloss On 60-Day IL
2:10pm: The Blue Jays formally announced the waiver claim.
