There are plenty of obvious trade candidates who we’ve discussed for weeks at MLBTR (e.g. Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley, Antonio Senzatela). Most of them are within a year or two of […]

The Angels and Rangers announced an intra-division trade on Wednesday evening. Texas acquired reliever Chase Silseth and catcher Logan O’Hoppe in exchange for infield prospect Angel Arredondo.

The Halos activated Travis d’Arnaud from the 60-day […]
Nationals To Activate Jake Irvin
The Nationals tabbed Jake Irvin to start against Grant Holmes in tomorrow’s opener of a four-game weekend series in Atlanta. Washington will officially active him from the 60-day injured list before the game. That’ll bring their 40-man roster to capacity, and no additional move is necessary after they optioned reliever Paxton Schultz this afternoon. Irvin is back after […]
Cubs Considering Tarik Skubal
The Cubs have made no secret of their desire to add starting pitching and are at least checking in on the top of the market. Patrick Mooney of The Athletic reports that the Cubs have considered making a push for Tarik Skubal among their various rotation possibilities. Skubal made what might be his final start in […]
Rangers Re-Sign Jarred Kelenic To Minor League Deal
The Rangers have brought back outfielder Jarred Kelenic on a minor league deal, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. The club released Kelenic from his previous deal three days ago.

D-Backs Remove Paul Sewald From Closer Role
The Diamondbacks are moving to a closer by committee approach for the time being, manager Torey Lovullo told reporters (link via Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports). Paul Sewald, who has all but four of the team’s 28 saves, will move to lower-leverage spots. Sewald is 24-27 in save chances, which isn’t a bad conversion rate. They’ve […]
White Sox Among “Most Active Suitors” For Rotation Upgrades
After losing 102 games in 2025, the White Sox have shattered expectations by putting up a 55-51 record and reaching first place in the AL Central. The team is positioned to buy at the trade deadline, and as MLBTR’s Mark Polishuk covered in our Trade Deadline Outlook series for Front Office subscribers, the Sox are […]
Brad Keller Undergoes UCL Surgery
The Phillies announced that reliever Brad Keller underwent a UCL reconstruction (Tommy John surgery) with an internal brace and flexor repair on Wednesday. The recovery is 13-16 months, so there’s a decent chance he’ll miss the entire 2027 season. Keller was already known to be out for this season after being diagnosed with a UCL tear […]
Dodgers Activate Edwin Díaz
The Dodgers reinstated closer Edwin Díaz from the 60-day injured list, per a club announcement. Lefty Charlie Barnes was designated for assignment to create space on the active and 40-man rosters. Díaz returns after more than three months on the shelf. The three-time All-Star underwent surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow in the middle of […]
Curtis Mead Avoids Wrist Surgery, Will Miss 6-8 Weeks
TODAY: The team officially placed Mead on the 10-day IL today, retroactive to July 28. As expected, Sogard has been recalled from Triple-A in the corresponding move.

Cubs Select Jake Woodford, Designate Andrew Wantz For Assignment
The Cubs announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Jake Woodford. Right-hander Andrew Wantz has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Twins Place Byron Buxton On 10-Day IL With Right Hip Impingement

Matt Krook Elects Free Agency
The Nationals announced that left-hander Matt Krook, who was designated for assignment earlier this week, cleared outright waivers and was assigned to Triple-A Rochester.

Angels Release Alek Manoah
The Angels announced that right-hander Alek Manoah has been released from their Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake. He’d been pitching there since late May, when he was outrighted off the club’s 40-man roster. He is now a free agent and able to sign with any team, which will almost certainly come on a minor league […]
Astros Activate Hayden Wesneski
July 29: Wesneski has now been reinstated with righty Miguel Ullola optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land as the corresponding active roster move, per the Astros. July 28: The Astros will activate Hayden Wesneski from the 60-day injured list to start tomorrow’s series finale in Anaheim, relays Matt Kahawara of The Houston Chronicle. Houston already has […]
Dennis Santana Elects Free Agency
Right-hander Dennis Santana has cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Pirates last week, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. He has exercised his right to elect free agency. It’s not a surprising outcome. Santana posted a 6.05 earned run average with the Bucs this year, which is why he was bumped off the […]
Cardinals Reportedly Shopping Dustin May
The Cardinals are “actively exploring” what they can get in return for Dustin May, reports Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He adds that the club is listening to offers on catcher Pedro Pagés as well as relievers JoJo Romero and Ryne Stanek. He suggests that the club will likely listen to offers on […]
Rangers Release Santiago Espinal
The Rangers released infielder Santiago Espinal from a minor league contract, per Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. It’s a short stay in the Texas organization after the veteran utilityman signed there early in the month. Espinal, 31, opened the season with the Dodgers but didn’t get much playing time. He logged 60 plate […]
Padres Designate Matt Waldron For Assignment
The Padres announced that right-hander Jeremiah Estrada has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list. Fellow righty Matt Waldron has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. Waldron, 29, once seemed like a potentially serviceable rotation member for the Padres. Over the 2023 and 2024 seasons, he tossed 188 innings with a decent 4.79 […]
Mets Rumors: Holmes, Peralta, Alvarez, Torrens
Scouts from at least seven teams were on hand to watch Clay Holmes‘ latest rehab start with the Mets, per Will Sammon, Ken Rosenthal and Katie Woo of The Athletic. The Rays, Phillies, Rangers, D-backs, White Sox, Dodgers and old friend Yankees all had personnel on hand. The Athletic report cites a pair of executives […]
Casey Schmitt Likely Done For Season Due To Meniscus Surgery
July 29: Vitello tells reporters, including Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com, that Schmitt will have surgery and is probably done for the year. July 28: The Giants announced that infielder/outfielder Casey Schmitt has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a torn meniscus in his left knee. Infielder Osleivis Basabe has been selected to […]
Brewers Select Thomas Pannone
The Brewers announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Thomas Pannone. He takes the active roster spot of right-hander Garrett Stallings, who has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville. The 40-man roster has a couple of vacancies, so Pannone fills one of those without a corresponding move. It appears that Pannone has been summoned […]
Nationals Activate Trevor Williams From 60-Day IL
The Nationals reinstated righty Trevor Williams from the 60-day injured list prior to this afternoon’s game, per a team announcement. Washington already had an open spot for Williams on the 40-man roster. Righty Gus Varland was optioned to Triple-A to clear an active roster spot. Williams, 34, has been with the Nats since signing a […]
Rangers Have Minimal Financial Flexibility As Deadline Approaches
The Rangers have rallied back from sub-.500 records in April and May, playing at a 27-21 pace since June 1 and climbing to the top of the AL West in the process. They’re two games ahead of the Astros and two-and-a-half games ahead of the Mariners — the latter of whom they just toppled 3-to-1 […]
