The Opener: Alonso, Tolle, Guerrero Jr.
Padres catcher Ethan Salas got on the board yesterday, smashing a triple off the right-field wall for his first MLB hit. The 20-year-old is the youngest player to triple for his first hit since teammate Manny Machado in 2012 (h/t Adrian Garro of MLB.com). 1. Alonso returns to Citi Field Orioles first baseman Pete Alonso […]
Braves Re-Sign Elieser Hernandez To Minor League Deal
The Braves re-signed right-hander Elieser Hernández to a minor league contract, per their transaction log at MLB.com. It was the obvious outcome for Hernández, who has stepped into the same revolving-door role with Atlanta previously held by fellow veterans Carlos Carrasco and Jesse Chavez. Hernández, 31, has now signed four minor league contracts with the […]
Giants Considering Shutting Down Logan Webb
Right-hander Logan Webb has been the Giants’ ace for almost six years now, but he’s been pretty inconsistent recently, to the point the team is considering shutting him down for the remainder of the season. Giants manager Tony Vitello told reporters, including Justice de los Santos of Mercury News and others, that shutting down Webb […]
A Look At Brent Headrick’s Breakout Campaign
Back in January, MLBTR looked at the Yankees’ bullpen and a list of six internal candidates to round out the middle and low-leverage innings behind top relievers David Bednar and Fernando Cruz. Among the candidates we mentioned were Jake Bird, Cade Winquest, Yerry De los Santos, Elmer Rodriguez, and Chase Hampton. Of that quintet, De […]
JJ Wetherholt Hoping To Return Before End Of Season
Prior to landing on the injured list, Cardinals second baseman JJ Wetherholt was having an excellent rookie season and was seen as a leading candidate to win the NL Rookie of the Year award. The latter is still true, but he has unfortunately been out of action since August 30th with right wrist tendinitis, for […]
Matt Strahm Undergoes Knee Surgery
Left-handed reliever Matt Strahm recently underwent surgery on his right knee, according to Robert Murray of FanSided. It is not clear exactly which type of procedure was performed. Per Murray, Strahm has been trying to latch on with a new team but will now focus on recovering from the surgery and finding a new deal […]
Trey Yesavage On Track With Rehab, Could Return Next Week
The Blue Jays are just one game back of the Guardians for the last AL Wild Card spot following wins by both clubs today. Toronto won the season series between the two clubs four games to two, so they now have 12 games remaining to at least tie Cleveland’s regular season record and sneak into […]
Tigers Notes: Verlander, Flaherty, Pérez
With retirement just around the corner, Tigers legend Justin Verlander has been making every effort to return to the mound before the end of the season. The 43-year-old righty, whose only appearance this year came in his season debut on March 30th, showed positive signs while throwing off a mound yesterday. According to The Athletic’s […]
Athletics Interview Mike Rizzo, Billy Owens For GM Vacancy
Former Nationals president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo and longtime Athletics assistant GM Billy Owens have both interviewed by the A’s for their full-time general manager position, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reports. Rizzo and Owens join James Click as the only candidates linked to the job thus far, though it isn’t clear if Click has […]
Giants Place Rafael Devers On 60-Day IL, Select Scott Bandura
The Giants announced that first baseman Rafael Devers has been placed on the 60-day injured list due to a core muscle injury. Outfielder Scott Bandura’s contract has been selected from Triple-A, and Bandura will replace Devers on both the 28-man and 40-man rosters. Devers “has managed this issue for much of the season and chose […]
Red Sox Activate Willson Contreras, Place Anthony Seigler On 10-Day IL
The Red Sox announced that first baseman Willson Contreras has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Infielder Anthony Seigler has been placed on the 10-day IL in the corresponding move, as Seigler is dealing with inflammation in his right wrist. A left hamstring strain sent Contreras to the IL on August 31, but his […]
Marlins Activate Xavier Edwards, Place Owen Caissie On 10-Day IL
The Marlins activated second baseman Xavier Edwards from the 10-day injured list today. Edwards will take the roster spot vacated by outfielder Owen Caissie, who heads to the 10-day IL with a lumbar stress reaction. Miami manager Clayton McCullough told El Extrabase’s Daniel Alvarez-Montes and other reporters that Caissie’s season is “likely done.” Edwards suffered […]
Diamondbacks Designate Lourdes Gurriel Jr. For Assignment
The Diamondbacks announced that outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has been designated for assignment. Arizona now has an open spot on its 40-man roster, and infielder Jose Fernandez was called up from Triple-A Reno to take Gurriel’s place on the active roster. The move all but officially ends Gurriel’s run with the D’Backs just shy of […]
Guardians Select Connor Brogdon
The Guardians announced that right-hander Connor Brogdon’s contract has been selected from Triple-A Columbus. Cleveland already had an opening on its 40-man roster, so right-hander Franco Aleman was optioned to Triple-A in the only corresponding move. Brogdon signed a one-year, $900K guaranteed deal with the Guards last winter, and then posted a 5.28 ERA over […]
Phillies Reinstate Tanner Banks From 60-Day IL, Designate Christian Cairo
The Phillies announced that left-hander Tanner Banks has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list. In corresponding roster moves, infielder Christian Cairo was designated for assignment and right-hander Grant Holman was optioned to Triple-A. Banks struggled to a 7.14 ERA over 29 innings, and Philadelphia even sent Banks down to Triple-A for a couple of […]
AL West Notes: Correa, Eovaldi, Jung, Pederson, Jump
Carlos Correa may start a minor league rehab assignment this week, as the Astros infielder continues his comeback from what seemed like a season-ending ankle surgery back in May. Rather than returning as a third baseman or shortstop, Correa might instead get at least some time at the brand-new position of second base. The Athletic’s […]
The Opener: Padres, Kelly, Reds
In a very disappointing year for the Seattle offense, the Mariners delivered the biggest margin of victory in franchise history with Saturday’s 19-1 squash of the Athletics. Weston Wilson went 5-for-6 and was one of five Mariners with at least three hits in the game. Michael Arroyo was part of that group in going 3-for-4 […]
Jesus Luzardo Day-To-Day With Shoulder Inflammation
TODAY: An MRI revealed inflammation in Luzardo’s shoulder and no structural damage, the southpaw told MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki and other reporters. Luzardo will be re-evaluated on Tuesday, and Mattingly said the team wasn’t considering the injured list at this time. SEPTEMBER 12: Jesus Luzardo and Tyler Mahle have been two of the best pitchers in baseball […]
Twins Promote Emmanuel Rodriguez For MLB Debut
The Twins announced that top outfield prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez has been called up from Triple-A St. Paul. Infielder Ben Ross was optioned to Triple-A in the corresponding move, and Rodriguez is already on Minnesota’s 40-man roster. Rodriguez figures to make his big league debut in today’s game with the Guardians, and it is fair to […]
Orioles Re-Sign Albert Suarez To Minor League Deal
Veteran righty Albert Suarez has once again returned to the Orioles on a minor league deal. Baltimore’s Triple-A affiliate announced the agreement, as relayed by Andy Kostka of the Baltimore Banner. Suarez was most recently bumped off the roster last weekend. He’ll head to Norfolk and await his next big-league opportunity. Baltimore has shuttled Suarez […]
Athletics Activate Shea Langeliers
The A’s reinstated Shea Langeliers from the 15-day IL ahead of Saturday’s matchup against the Mariners. The All-Star catcher has been out since late July with a torn meniscus in his right knee. Infielder Darell Hernaiz was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Langeliers was feared to be lost for the year after undergoing […]
Royals Claim Spencer Bivens
The Royals have claimed right-hander Spencer Bivens off waivers from the Giants and optioned him to Triple-A, Kansas City announced. San Francisco designated Bivens for assignment earlier this week. Bivens lost his roster spot on Wednesday because of another waiver claim. The Giants added right-hander Duncan Davitt off waivers from the Braves. Bivens has spent his […]
Pirates Place Esmerlyn Valdez On 10-Day Injured List
The Pirates placed outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez on the 10-day injured list today before their afternoon matchup with the Cubs. Utilityman Ronny Simon got the call-up from Triple-A Indianapolis to take his place on the active roster. Pittsburgh’s chances of making the playoffs are slim to none, but this is still a disappointing blow for an […]
Diamondbacks Select Pavin Smith
Pavin Smith is back in Arizona. The Diamondbacks designated the lefty batter for assignment and sent him outright to Triple-A Reno in July. Tonight, he will return to the roster and the starting lineup as the D-backs take on the Rangers (as first reported by Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports). Catcher/DH Adrian Del Castillo is […]
Nationals Claim Chase Hampton
The Nationals announced that right-hander Chase Hampton has been claimed off the Yankees’ waiver wire, and optioned to Double-A. To create a 40-man roster spot, Washington moved right-hander Matt Waldron from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL, so Waldron’s 2026 season is officially over. New York designated Hampton for assignment earlier this week, […]
