The Rangers’ Stagnant Deadline
The Rangers made one move on deadline day, sending utility infielder Josh Smith to Toronto for rookie reliever Adam Macko.

The left-hander is now on […]
Twins Notes: Ryan, Gómez, Payroll
The Twins are sending Joe Ryan for testing on his glute and back, manager Derek Shelton told reporters on Wednesday (link via Dan Hayes of The Athletic). He’s questionable to make his scheduled start on Sunday and might wind up on the 15-day injured list. Although it doesn’t seem like a huge concern, there has clearly […]
Chadwick Tromp Elects Free Agency
The Orioles announced yesterday that catcher Chadwick Tromp elected free agency after going unclaimed on outright waivers. Baltimore had designated him for assignment last week. Tromp’s DFA was initially to make space on the roster for Jake Rogers. That arrangement lasted all of three days. Rogers went to Boston to round out Monday’s surprise deal that sent Adley […]
Blake Dunn Undergoes Season-Ending Elbow Surgery
August 5: Dunn had an internal brace procedure and will miss six months, Francona told reporters (relayed by Charlie Goldsmith of Charlie’s Chalkboard). That’d put him on track to be ready right around the beginning of Spring Training in a typical offseason. July 31: Reds outfielder Blake Dunn is done for the year. Manager Terry Francona […]
Cubs Notes: Holmes, Taylor, Happ
The Cubs acquired Clay Holmes from the Mets ahead of the deadline even though he is currently on the 60-day injured list. His health wasn’t really a question as he made three rehab appearances before the trade. His next start will be in the big leagues. Per Cubs manager Craig Counsell, Holmes will get the […]
Reds Place Hunter Greene On Injured List
The Reds are placing right-hander Hunter Greene back on the injured list due to soreness in his right elbow.

The team hasn’t provided a formal diagnosis or provided a timetable for his return. […]
Padres Designate Germán Márquez For Assignment
The Padres announced that left-hander Robbie Ray has been added to the active roster after being acquired in a trade with the Giants earlier this week.

Blue Jays Claim Matt Waldron
The Blue Jays claimed righty Matt Waldron off waivers from the Padres, the team announced Wednesday. Lefty Patrick Corbin was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man roster spot. Waldron, 30 next month, is out of minor league options, meaning he’ll jump right onto Toronto’s active roster. […]
Mike Tauchman Opts Out Of Mets Deal
The Mets released veteran outfielder Mike Tauchman from his minor league deal today, per Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com. The New York Post’s Jon Heyman adds that Tauchman was actually granted his release after triggering an opt-out clause in his contract. He’s now a free agent. The 35-year-old Tauchman has been a fairly steady source of […]
Guardians Designate Gabriel Arias For Assignment
The Guardians announced this afternoon that infielder Gabriel Arias has been designated for assignment. His 40-man roster spot will go to top prospect Angel Genao, whose previously reported promotion to the majors has now been formally announced by the club. Arias, 26, was a well-regarded prospect prior to his big league debut. He came to […]
Royals Acquire Jacob Berry
The Royals have acquired infielder/outfielder Jacob Berry from the Marlins, reports Isaac Azout of Fish on First. The Marlins get cash in return. Though the trade deadline has passed, trades are still allowed for players who haven’t been on a 40-man roster all season, as MLBTR explained earlier today. Acquiring Berry would have been more […]
How To Acquire Players After The MLB Trade Deadline
In the not-too-distant past, MLBTR began the post-deadline portion of the season by reminding longtime MLB fans (or explaining to new fans) how the dizzying rules regarding trade waivers worked. It was a convoluted process — one that saw nearly every player in the league placed on revocable trade waivers at some point (heavy emphasis […]
Blue Jays Place Trey Yesavage On Injured List
The Blue Jays announced that right-hander Trey Yesavage has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to left knee inflammation. The club also optioned right-hander Chad Dallas to Triple-A Buffalo.

White Sox Designate Austin Hays For Assignment
The White Sox have designated veteran outfielder Austin Hays for assignment, per a team announcement. Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported he’d be cut a few minutes prior to the team’s formal announcement. Hays recently wrapped up a minor league rehab stint for a monthslong absence due to a calf strain. The South Siders […]
Nationals Place Joey Wiemer On Release Waivers
The Nationals announced Wednesday that outfielder Joey Wiemer has been placed on unconditional release waivers. Assuming he clears, he’ll be a free agent in 48 hours. The move opens a spot on Washington’s 40-man roster. Wiemer was an early-season hero in D.C., tallying four multi-hit efforts and popping a pair of home runs in his […]
Rangers Activate Cody Bradford From 60-Day IL
The Rangers announced Wednesday that left-hander Cody Bradford has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list. He’s missed the entire season so far while recovering from an internal brace procedure on his left elbow that was performed late last June. That UCL repair will ultimately end up costing him a bit more than 13 months. […]
Pirates To Release Marcell Ozuna
The Pirates are cutting bait on one of their larger offseason acquisitions. Mike Rodriguez reports that Pittsburgh will release designated hitter Marcell Ozuna today. They’ll call up outfielder Ronny Simon in his place, Jason Mackey writes over at MLB.com. Signed to a one-year, $12MM deal after the Pirates missed out on other targets (e.g. Kyle […]
The Opener: Dodgers, Peralta, Genao
Welcome to the big leagues, George Lombard Jr. The Yankees’ top prospect slugged a solo home run in his second career at-bat (video link via MLB on X). It was one of two homers for New York in a tight 2-0 victory. 1. Dodgers drop Skubal’s debut Left-hander Tarik Skubal, the biggest piece moved at […]
Brewers Reportedly Included Luis Peña In Offer To Tigers For Skubal
The Brewers were generally viewed as the top challenger to the Dodgers when the Tigers were shopping Tarik Skubal. Milwaukee has the sport’s best record and arguably its top farm system, and ownership was willing to assume the remainder of Skubal’s $32MM salary. Skubal is on the mound in Dodger blue tonight after Detroit dealt […]
Brewers Option Brandon Sproat
The Brewers optioned rookie starter Brandon Sproat to Triple-A Nashville before tonight’s 4-2 victory over Pittsburgh. Milwaukee also optioned swingman Garrett Stallings. That opened the two spots on the pitching staff for Dustin May and Antonio Senzatela, who were acquired at the trade deadline. Lefty reliever JoJo Romero, acquired alongside May from St. Louis, is on the 15-day injured list […]
Dalton Rushing Diagnosed With Partial UCL Tear
Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing has a partial tear of the UCL in his right elbow, manager Dave Roberts tells David Vassegh of the Dodger Talk podcast. The second-year backstop landed on the 10-day injured list yesterday with what the team initially called elbow inflammation. Roberts said postgame that Rushing will continue to hit but is being […]
Pirates To Select Ronny Simon
The Pirates are selecting outfielder Ronny Simon onto the MLB roster, reports Alex Stumpf. Pittsburgh will need to clear space on both the active and 40-man rosters. Simon played his way back to the big leagues with an excellent season in Triple-A. The switch-hitter has a .330/.419/.470 slash line across 99 games with the Bucs’ affiliate […]
