Speaking of advance, feel free to send questions in advance. We’ll get going at 3pm CT! Hello all! Happy (almost) weekend and […]
Rays Designate Jake Woodford For Assignment
The Rays announced that right-hander Manuel Rodríguez has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list. Fellow righty Jake Woodford has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. Tampa is clearly trying to control the workloads of the pitchers who will play key roles in the postseason. The Rays have already clinched the top spot […]
Alec Burleson Open To Offseason Extension Talks With Cardinals
Cardinals slugger Alec Burleson is enjoying the best season of his career in 2026. The 27-year-old first baseman (28 next month) is controlled by St. Louis for another two seasons but tells Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he’s “all ears” if the team wants to approach him about a contract extension. That […]
The Opener: Brewers, Clinches, Spence
White Sox shortstop Colson Montgomery set an AL record on Thursday with 223 strikeouts in a season. He’s now tied with Mark Reynolds for the all-time mark. 1. Brewers hit century mark Milwaukee cruised to a 5-1 win over Philadelphia on Thursday. Shane Drohan and four relievers limited the Phillies to a run on four […]
Giants Claim Camilo Doval
The Giants announced that they have claimed right-hander Camilo Doval off waivers from the Pirates. Doval had been designated for assignment by Pittsburgh earlier this week. The Giants transferred righty Blade Tidwell to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot for the move. Tidwell was recommended for UCL surgery this week, so he […]
Twins Part Ways With Assistant GM Daniel Adler
The Twins and assistant general manager Daniel Adler agreed to part ways, reports Aaron Gleeman of AaronGleeman.com. Adler had been with the organization since 2017. Gleeman adds that it’s unclear whether Minnesota will find a replacement for Adler. The organization still has three assistant GMs: Alex Hassan, Sean Johnson, and Josh Kalk. A Harvard Business […]
Willson Contreras Dealing With Lingering Hand Pain
Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras is still dealing with pain in his right hand. He explained to reporters on Thursday that he’s been unable to swing the past two days due to lingering discomfort. Contreras has been out for a week after he was hit by a Jakob Junis sinker last Thursday. Contreras had […]
Don Cooper Passes Away
Longtime White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper passed away earlier this week, the team confirmed on Wednesday. Cooper was 70 years old. Cooper coached in the White Sox organization for 33 seasons. He served as the big-league pitching coach for 18 years. Cooper was at the helm of some of the best pitching staffs of […]
Astros Place Daulton Varsho On Injured List
The Astros announced that they have placed outfielder Daulton Varsho on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 23, with left wrist inflammation. Fellow outfielder Jorge Barrosa has been selected to take Varsho’s place on the roster. To open a 40-man spot for Barrosa, right-hander Jason Alexander has been designated for assignment. Varsho has been […]
Orioles Select Albert Suarez
Veteran swingman Albert Suarez is headed back to the Orioles. Baltimore selected his contract for the fifth time this season. Trey Gibson was optioned to the Spring Training complex to clear a big-league spot. Kyle Bradish was moved to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot. The Orioles snuck in one last Suarez transaction […]
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 […]
