Braves Select Elieser Hernández
The Braves announced that left-hander Martín Pérez has been placed on the 15-day injured list with low back inflammation, a move that was previously reported. Right-hander Elieser Hernández has been selected to take his place on the roster. To open a 40-man spot for Hernández, righty Hurston Waldrep has been recalled and placed on the […]
Yankees Place Clarke Schmidt On Injured List
The Yankees announced that right-hander Clarke Schmidt has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to September 21, with right bicep neuritis. Fellow righty Bradley Hanner has been recalled as the corresponding move. Schmidt had a good run as a member of the Yankee rotation but he has been a non-factor for a while. […]
Braves To Place Martín Pérez On Injured List
The Braves are going to place left-hander Martín Pérez on the 15-day injust list with lower back inflammation, per Jesús Cano of The Athletic. The corresponding move hasn’t yet been publicly reported. It’s an out-of-nowhere hit to Atlanta’s pitching staff, just before the start of the postseason. Pérez just pitched on Sunday and it didn’t […]
Offseason Outlook: Cincinnati Reds
The Reds plummeted down the standings after a strong April. They lost one of their top two starters to Tommy John surgery that’ll likely cost him all of 2027. Most of the rotation underperformed and the back half of the lineup was as bad as any in the league. There’s still elite high-end talent, but […]
Rays Select Jake Woodford
The Rays announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Jake Woodford. Fellow righty Mason Englert has been optioned to Triple-A Durham as the corresponding active roster move. The 40-man had a vacancy but is now full. Woodford is still in his 20s, as he turns 30 next month, but is nonetheless a veteran […]
White Sox Place Luis Castillo On Injured List
Just prior to today’s game, the White Sox announced that right-hander Luis Castillo has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement. Fellow righty Tyler Davis has been recalled as the corresponding move. The move makes Castillo unavailable for the remainder of the regular season as well as the Wild Card […]
Yankees To Play Anthony Volpe At Third Base
The Yankees have nearly locked up the top Wild Card spot, which has the club turning its attention toward the postseason roster configuration over the final week of the regular season. One area that could change heading into the playoffs is third base. Manager Aaron Boone told reporters, including Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, that infielder […]
Cubs Notes: Steele, Bregman, Gausman
Weather issues have complicated the final stretch of the regular season for the Cubs. A three-game set against the Red Sox has been moved up due to a pending storm in Boston. With a doubleheader now on Friday, Chicago will have four games in three days, starting with an afternoon matchup against the Marlins today. […]
Mets Hire Derek Falvey For Front Office Role
Sept. 24: The Mets have officially announced the hiring of Falvey, as relayed by Sammon, among others. His title is senior advisor. New York also promoted Kris Gross to an assistant GM position. He’d previously been the club’s vice president of amateur scouting. Sept. 23 at 2:18 pm: There’s still no official word on Falvey’s title, […]
Twins Outright Alex Jackson
Sept. 24: Jackson cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Triple-A. The Triple-A season is over, but the assignment is largely a formality. Jackson will surely accept rather than elect free agency, as accepting him entitles him to the remainder of this year’s $1.35MM guaranteed salary. Once the season concludes, he’ll be eligible to become […]
Mets To Designate Xzavion Curry For Assignment
The Mets are designating right-hander Xzavion Curry for assignment. The team hasn’t formally announced the move, but it’s listed on their transaction log at MLB.com. New York also hasn’t announced yesterday’s reported claim of left-handed reliever Philip Abner from the Giants — also listed on their transaction log — so it seems safe to presume […]
The Opener: AL Homer Race, Sale, Padres
Infielder Nasim Nunez set the Nationals’ single-season record with his 48th stolen base on Wednesday. He didn’t waste any time adding to his mark, taking third base during the same at-bat. As Brian McTaggart of MLB.com pointed out, Nunez’s 49 steals are one more than the entire Astros team. 1. Rice, Alonso tighten AL HR […]

Spencer Steer To Undergo Wrist Surgery
Reds utilityman Spencer Steer will undergo surgery next week to repair the torn tendon sheath in his right wrist, the team informed reporters (link via Mark Sheldon of MLB.com). Reliever Tony Santillan will also indeed require hip labrum surgery, as manager Terry Francona suggested was likely last night. Steer is expected to be ready for the start […]
Shane McClanahan Not Available For Division Series
The Rays have ruled out Shane McClanahan for the Division Series, manager Kevin Cash told Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times. He could return later in the postseason if Tampa Bay advances. The Rays haven’t ruled out the possibility of relievers Tyler Wells and Garrett Cleavinger being ready for the ALDS. McClanahan has missed most of […]
Padres Designate Alek Jacob For Assignment
The Padres announced they’ve designated reliever Alek Jacob for assignment. That’s the 40-man roster move to open a spot for Jason Adam, who has returned from the 60-day injured list. Jacob is a depth reliever who has been in Triple-A since the beginning of July. The 28-year-old righty has been up and down for the last […]
Astros Select Josh Hendrickson, Place Cristian Javier On Injured List
7:31pm: It’s a Grade 2 strain for Javier, manager Joe Espada tells reporters (including Chandler Rome of The Athletic). 7:10pm: The Astros announced they’ve selected lefty Josh Hendrickson onto the major league roster. Starter Cristian Javier lands on the 15-day injured list with a right groin strain. Houston recalled outfielder Jake Meyers from Triple-A and placed […]
Padres To Activate Jason Adam
The Padres are activating Jason Adam from the 60-day injured list before tonight’s game in Los Angeles, reports Dennis Lin of The Athletic. Griffin Canning is being optioned to open a spot on the pitching staff. San Diego designated Alek Jacob for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot. Adam returns after a near three month absence. He’s […]
Aaron Judge: Still Hoping To Be Active For Wild Card Round
September 23: Judge told Jorge Castillo of ESPN that he’s still hopeful of being ready for the Wild Card Series. September 22: The Yankees don’t expect Aaron Judge to be available during the Wild Card round of postseason play, manager Aaron Boone announced to the team’s beat today (via Bryan Hoch of MLB.com). Judge received […]
Dodgers Reinstate Shohei Ohtani, Option Josue De Paula
The Dodgers have reinstated designated hitter Shohei Ohtani from the injured list and optioned outfielder Josue De Paula to Triple-A as the corresponding move, per Katie Woo of The Athletic. Woo notes that De Paula is still a candidate for a postseason roster spot, despite this move. The status of Ohtani is a major storyline […]
Rockies Outright Vimael Machín
The Rockies have sent infielder Vimael Machín outright to the Arizona Complex League, per his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He has the right to elect free agency but the log doesn’t indicate whether he will do so or not. Machín was selected to the roster on September 5 when Willi Castro landed on the injured […]
Mets Claim Philip Abner
The Mets have claimed left-hander Philip Abner off waivers from the Giants, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. The southpaw was designated for assignment earlier this week. The Mets have a full 40-man roster and will need to open a spot but that could be as easy as transferring someone to the 60-day […]
Dylan Cease Placed On IL With Shoulder Inflammation
September 23: Cease is now on the IL due to that shoulder inflammation, per the team. It seems the Jays were waiting to be officially eliminated, which happened when they lost the first game of today’s doubleheader. The Jays also optioned righty José Rodríguez. Righties Chase Lee and CJ Van Eyk were recalled as the […]
Previewing The Upcoming Second Base Class
As the regular season winds down, MLBTR is taking a position-by-position look at the 2026-27 free agent market. Next up is the second base class. There’s a pair of clear headliners among the group, but the next tier offers some notable veterans who could bounce back from injury-marred 2026 seasons and provide big value in […]
Guardians Designate Connor Brogdon For Assignment
The Guardians announced that right-hander Shawn Armstrong has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Fellow righty Connor Brogdon has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. The Guards signed Armstrong to a one-year deal with a $5.5MM guarantee in the offseason. He had just wrapped up a strong 2025 campaign with the Rangers, […]
