Yankees Recall Bradley Hanner For MLB Debut
The Yankees announced they’ve recalled reliever Bradley Hanner from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He takes the bullpen spot of Kervin Castro, who lands on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to August 10) with right elbow neuritis. ESPN’s Jeff Passan was first to report Hanner’s promotion. It’s the first big league call for the 27-year-old Hanner, who has spent […]
Rockies To Designate Edouard Julien For Assignment, Recall Zac Veen
The Rockies are set to designate infielder Edouard Julien for assignment and recall outfielder Zac Veen from Triple-A Albuquerque, reports Kyle Newman of the Denver Post. Colorado added Julien and righty Pierson Ohl from the Twins in an offseason swap sending minor league righty Jace Kaminska back to Minnesota. Kaminska still hasn’t made his way […]
Trey Yesavage Undergoes Meniscus Surgery
Blue Jays starter Trey Yesavage underwent surgery to repair the meniscus injury in his left knee, manager John Schneider tells reporters (including Mitch Bannon of The Athletic). The team is calling him week to week and has not closed the door on him returning this season. Yesavage landed on the 15-day injured list last week with […]
Reds Select Michael Toglia
The Reds announced Tuesday that they’ve selected the contract of first baseman/outfielder Michael Toglia from Triple-A Louisville and activated lefty Nick Lodolo from the 15-day injured list. Cincinnati opened a 40-man roster spot for Toglia by transferring Hunter Greene — who’s set to undergo UCL surgery — from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL. […]
Blue Jays Place Jameson Taillon On Injured List
The Blue Jays announced that right-hander Jameson Taillon has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis. Fellow righty Chase Lee has been recalled as the corresponding move. Taillon was acquired from the Cubs just over a week ago. Last night, his second start since that trade, he departed after four innings. […]
Tigers Select Tanner Rainey
The Tigers announced they have selected the contract of right-hander Tanner Rainey. He takes the active roster spot of left-hander Enmanuel De Jesus, who has been placed on the paternity list. The 40-man roster had a vacancy, so no further moves are required. Rainey, 33, signed a minor league deal with the Tigers last summer. […]
Angels Fire Mike Maddux, Darryl Scott, Dom Chiti
The Angels are cleaning house on the pitching end of their coaching staff. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the Halos have fired pitching coach Mike Maddux, assistant pitching coach Darryl Scott and bullpen coach Dom Chiti. The team announced the three dismissals shortly after the initial report. Double-A pitching coach Tim Leveque and assistant pitching […]
Marlins Place Kyle Stowers On Injured List
August 11: The Marlins placed Stowers on the 10-day injured list today, retroactive to August 10, with a left hamstring strain. Pauley has been recalled in a corresponding move. August 9: First baseman Kyle Stowers made an early exit from the Marlins’ 12-3 win over the Angels today due to what the Marlins described as left […]
A’s Claim Drew Rom
The Athletics have claimed left-hander Drew Rom off waivers from the Brewers, per a club announcement. The A’s already had an opening on the 40-man roster, so no corresponding 40-man move was necessary. Milwaukee had designated Rom for assignment over the weekend. Rom, 26, was a 2018 fourth-rounder by the Orioles. Baltimore traded him to […]
Twins Pursued Detmers, Soriano Prior To Deadline
The Twins added several veteran players at the deadline, picking up relievers A.J. Minter (Mets) and Jeff Hoffman (Jays) while also bringing starter Dean Kremer over from the Orioles. That trio, coupled with their mid-July pickup of Tommy Nance (also from Toronto), added some life to a pitching staff and marked a clear change in direction […]
Yankees Release Rafael Montero
The Yankees have released veteran right-handed reliever Rafael Montero, per an announcement from their Triple-A affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. He’d signed a minor league deal back in February. Montero, 36 in October, hasn’t pitched in the majors yet this season. If he doesn’t latch on with another club and make it to the big leagues, […]
The Opener: Fourth Out Rule, Rutschman, Kremer, Senga
The rarely seen “fourth out” rule came into play last night in the Red Sox/Blue Jays game. With runners on the corners and one out, a Ceddanne Rafaela fly ball to center should’ve been a sac fly. Instead, both runners advanced, thinking there were two outs. Toronto easily doubled Nick Sogard off first, but the […]
MLB Mailbag: White Sox, Cubs, Mets, Skubal, Free Agency
The latest MLBTR Mailbag will look at whether the White Sox were too passive at the deadline, the Cubs’ slate of deadline additions, some non-trades from the Mets, the Tarik Skubal deal, the upcoming class of free agents and more. (Note: as always, some questions are lightly edited for clarity and/or brevity.) Let’s dive in! Brandon […]
Bryse Wilson Elects Free Agency
Right-hander Bryse Wilson elected free agency after being outrighted by the Brewers, relays Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Milwaukee designated him for assignment on Saturday. Wilson has bounced around this season. He had very brief big league stints with the Phillies and Cubs before signing with Milwaukee shortly before the All-Star Break. Wilson made six appearances for […]
Rays, Jake Woodford Agree To Minor League Deal
The Rays are signing right-hander Jake Woodford to a minor league contract, reports Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times. He elected free agency after being waived by the Cubs last week. Woodford has some familiarity with the Rays’ coaching staff. He was with the team in Spring Training after signing an offseason minor league […]
D-Backs To Use Zack Littell In Relief
Zack Littell was activated by the Diamondbacks this afternoon after signing a major league contract over the weekend. The veteran righty told the Arizona beat the team informed him he’ll be working out of the bullpen, at least to begin his tenure (video provided by Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports). The Snakes activated Michael Soroka from […]
Giants Select Zach Morgan
The Giants selected catcher Zach Morgan onto the major league roster for tonight’s game against Houston. Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle first reported this evening that Morgan was joining the club. The Giants already had an opening on the 40-man roster and will place Daniel Susac on the 10-day injured list (left patella fracture) […]
Giants’ Daniel Susac Diagnosed With Patellar Fracture
The Giants announced that rookie catcher Daniel Susac has a fractured patella (kneecap) in his left knee. He’ll meet with doctors this evening to determine a treatment plan. San Francisco will obviously place Susac on the 10-day injured list shortly. They’re going to need a new catcher to pair with Drew Cavanaugh. With Jesus Rodriguez already on the […]
Dodgers Select Charlie Barnes
The Dodgers reselected left-hander Charlie Barnes onto their major league roster. They also recalled righty reliever Seth Halvorsen for what’ll be his team debut. L.A. optioned Kyle Hurt to Triple-A Oklahoma City and designated righty Jonathan Hernández for assignment in corresponding moves. Barnes has been on and off the roster a couple times this year. He was most recently […]
Angels Select Sammy Peralta
The Angels announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Sammy Peralta. The 40-man roster had a couple of vacancies, so he can slot into one of those. To open an active roster spot, right-hander Shaun Anderson has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Prior to the official announcement, […]
Rangers Place Nathan Eovaldi On IL With Elbow Inflammation
The Rangers announced that right-hander Nathan Eovaldi has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 9, due to right posterior elbow inflammation. Fellow righty Ben Peoples has been recalled in a corresponding move. Details on Eovaldi’s situation are still not clear. He started on Friday and went 5 1/3 innings. His velocity […]
Braves Release Jorge Mateo
The Braves have released infielder/outfielder Jorge Mateo, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He had been designated for assignment by the club last week. He is now free to sign with any team. Mateo, 31, signed with Atlanta in January on a one-year deal with a $1MM guarantee. It probably wasn’t a coincidence that […]
Athletics Designate Jonathan Ornelas For Assignment
The Athletics announced that infielder/outfielder Zack Gelof has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. In a corresponding move, infielder/outfielder Jonathan Ornelas has been designated for assignment. Ornelas, 26, opted out of a minor league deal with the Yankees in July. He quickly landed a new minor league deal with the A’s and got added […]
Diamondbacks Designate Paul Sewald For Assignment
4:20pm: The Snakes have now made it official. They designated Sewald for assignment and optioned righty Kade Strowd. Those moves open spots for righty Michael Soroka to be reinstated from the injured list and righty Zack Littell to be added to the active roster. It was reported yesterday that Arizona would be signing Littell. 1:31pm: […]
Mariners Claim Nolan Kingham
The Mariners have claimed right-hander Nolan Kingham off waivers from the Rangers, according to announcements from both clubs. Texas had designated him for assignment last week. Seattle had multiple 40-man vacancies and have sent Kingham to Triple-A Tacoma, so no corresponding move was required. Kingham, 29, just got his first major league call-up. Not so […]
