Astros Outright Jorge Barrosa
The Astros announced Tuesday that they’ve sent Jorge Barrosa outright to Triple-A Sugar Land. The 5’6″ outfielder cleared waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. It’s the first career outright assignment for Barrosa. That technically means he needs to accept the minor league assignment, though it’s essentially a moot point. Sugar Land’s season […]
Phillies To Decide On Mattingly’s Managerial Future After Season
Tuesday was a surprisingly big day on the managerial front. Andy Green and Chad Tracy had their respective interim tags removed by the Mets and Red Sox, with both signing three-year contracts. The only remaining interim manager, Philadelphia’s Don Mattingly, won’t know his long-term fate until season’s end. “[We] have felt it is better to […]

Rangers Place Joc Pederson On Injured List, Rule Out Cal Quantrill For Season
The Rangers made a handful of moves before the start of a crucial series against the Mets. Designated hitter Joc Pederson lands on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 19, with a fracture in his left hand.

Offseason Outlook: Kansas City Royals

Cubs Not Planning To Place Alex Bregman On Injured List

Pirates Designate Camilo Doval For Assignment
The Pirates announced that right-hander Kirby Yates has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list. Fellow righty Camilo Doval has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. It’s a bit of a surprising decision for the Bucs at this late part of the season. They just acquired Doval at the trade deadline, giving up […]
The Rays’ Unlikely Ace
This afternoon, Nick Martinez will make his 30th start of the year. Thirty starts isn’t usually a huge milestone, at least not for a major league veteran. More than 30 pitchers have already hit that mark in 2026. Yet, for Martinez, that nice, round number 30 represents something special. The right-hander has played 16 professional […]

Offseason Outlook: Colorado Rockies
The Rockies have shown a bit of improvement but are still one of the worst teams in the league. They won’t be trying to compete in 2027.

Giants Promote Bo Davidson, Activate Marcelo Mayer
The Giants announced they’ve selected outfield prospect Bo Davidson onto the MLB roster and activated Marcelo Mayer from the 10-day injured list.

Anthony Franco Good afternoon, hope all is well! Swapping with Steve this week since I’m off on Friday. He’ll run that chat.
