The Opener: Murakami, Devers, Jays, Red Sox
White Sox third baseman Miguel Vargas and shortstop Colson Montgomery each reached the 30-home run mark in a 4-1 win over the Twins on Friday. First baseman Munetaka Murakami joined them Saturday with a two-run shot off Twins right-hander Taj Bradley in the first inning. The homer broke a 16-game drought for Murakami. The rookie became […]
Dodgers Notes: Ohtani, Rushing, Hernandez, Wrobleski
While he hasn’t been put on the injured list yet, Shohei Ohtani remained out of the Dodgers’ lineup on Saturday against the Nationals. He’s now missed three straight games. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters, including Katie Woo of The Athletic, that the team will evaluate Ohtani on Sunday. “My expectation is he’s going to hit […]
Athletics Place J.T. Ginn On IL, Recall Jack Perkins
Right-hander J.T. Ginn has landed on the 15-day IL with a right elbow impingement, the Athletics announced. Righty Jack Perkins is headed back to the big-league club. Perkins was just sent down yesterday when Joey Estes was recalled. Any injury at this point in the year could be season-ending. Ginn hasn’t been ruled out for […]
Marlins Release Leo Jimenez
The Marlins have moved on from veteran infielder Leo Jimenez. He’s been released, per his MLB.com transactions log. Jimenez was designated for assignment on Thursday. Miami acquired Jimenez from the Blue Jays shortly after Opening Day. The club sent infielder Dub Gleed and international bonus pool money back to Toronto. Jimenez had been DFAed by […]
Dodgers Activate Bobby Miller From 60-Day IL, Designate Alek Thomas
The Dodgers announced that Bobby Miller has been activated from the 60-day injured list. In corresponding moves for the 28-man and 40-man rosters, right-hander Kyle Hurt was optioned to Triple-A and outfielder Alek Thomas was designated for assignment. The California Post’s Jack Harris was among the reporters yesterday who noted that Miller had a locker […]
Rockies Outright Tyler Freeman
The Rockies have officially announced Willi Castro’s placement on the 10-day IL and Vimael Machin’s contract selection, which were both reported earlier today. To create space for Machin on the 40-man roster, the Rox outrighted Tyler Freeman to Triple-A. It hadn’t been publicly known that Freeman had been designated for assignment, but he has now […]
Rockies Select Vimael Machin, Place Willi Castro On 10-Day Injured List
5:20PM: Machin’s contract selection has been officially announced, and Castro was placed on the 10-day IL (retroactive to September 2) due to what the team termed as left heel inflammation. To create a 40-man roster spot, Tyler Freeman was outrighted to Triple-A (more on this transaction here). 5:06PM: The Rockies will be selecting the contract […]
Rays Place Garrett Cleavinger On 15-Day IL, Select Ty Johnson, Designate Oliver Dunn
The Rays announced three roster moves, including the news that left-hander Garrett Cleavinger has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to left forearm tightness. Right-hander Ty Johnson’s contract was selected from Triple-A Durham to fill Cleavinger’s spot on the active roster, and infielder Oliver Dunn was designated for assignment to create space for […]
Blue Jays Place Jameson Taillon On 15-Day Injured List
TODAY: Taillon has been officially placed on the 15-day IL, with right elbow inflammation as the designation. Southpaw Ricky Tiedemann was called up from Triple-A to take Taillon’s spot on the active roster. Jays manager John Schneider told reporters (including MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson) that the team is getting a second opinion on the MRI results […]
Blue Jays Claim Shawn Ross
The Blue Jays announced that catcher Shawn Ross was claimed off waivers from the Mets, and assigned to Triple-A Buffalo. New York designated Ross for assignment two days ago. Ross began his pro career as an undrafted free agent with the Pirates in 2022, and his tenure in Pittsburgh culminated with his first two MLB […]
Angels Re-Sign Shaun Anderson To Minor League Deal
The Angels have re-signed Shaun Anderson to a new minor league contract, according to the right-hander’s MLB.com profile page. Anderson makes another quick return to the organization after opting for free agency on Wednesday over an outright assignment to Triple-A. This has been the pattern for Anderson’s last two seasons, since he first signed a […]
Nationals Notes: Abrams, Early, Gray
The Nationals announced in mid-August that shortstop CJ Abrams would transition to second base. The two-time All-Star has had a stellar season at the plate, but he’s been among the worst defenders in the league. Manager Blake Butera further clarified the plan this week, telling reporters (including Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic) that Abrams would […]
Blue Jays Outright Daz Cameron
Outfielder Daz Cameron has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A, per his MLB.com transactions log. The Blue Jays designated him for assignment on Tuesday. Cameron has been outrighted before, so he can reject the assignment and choose free agency. He’ll most likely stick with Buffalo and wait for another chance with the big-league club. […]
The Opener: Guardians Walk-Offs, White Sox Sluggers, Campusano
For the first time since 2002, the A’s hit four home runs in one inning (h/t Martin Gallegos of MLB.com). Max Muncy, Alika Williams, Jeff McNeil, and Zack Gelof all went deep in the third inning on Friday. It wasn’t a Sacramento situation, either. The game was in Seattle, against ace Logan Gilbert, no less. […]
Diamondbacks To Activate Corbin Burnes On Tuesday
Diamondbacks right-hander Corbin Burnes is set to rejoin the club early next week, manager Torey Lovullo hinted to reporters, including Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Burnes has not pitched in the Majors since June of last year due to Tommy John surgery and, more recently, a teres major strain. Per Lovullo, the team may opt […]
Yankees Notes: Weathers, Cruz, Grisham
Injured Yankees lefty Ryan Weathers will begin a throwing program this weekend, manager Aaron Boone told reporters today, including Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. Weathers has been on the 15-day injured list since August 23rd with a left forearm flexor strain. Boone initially expected Weathers to be shut down for two to four weeks when […]
Reds To Activate Graham Ashcraft Off 60-Day IL
The Reds are expected to activate right-hander Graham Ashcraft off the 60-day injured list on Sunday, per Charlie Goldsmith of Charlie’s Chalkboard. Ashcraft has been out for over three months with a right forearm UCL sprain. The team’s 40-man roster is currently full, so a corresponding move will be needed to activate Ashcraft. Spencer Steer, […]
Matt Brash Shut Down With Lat Inflammation
The Mariners have shut down reliever Matt Brash, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Brash has been on the injured list retroactive to June 9th with a right lat strain, and a recent MRI showed more inflammation in that area, though he has no structural damage. The righty won’t throw for eight weeks, so […]

Rays Place Shane McClanahan On IL With Forearm Tightness
The Rays announced that left-hander Shane McClanahan has been placed on the 15-day injured list with left forearm tightness. Right-hander Alex Cook has been recalled as the corresponding move.

Giants Claim Joel Kuhnel
2:40pm: Per Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle, the corresponding move is actually catcher Jesús Rodríguez transferring to the 60-day IL. He landed on the 10-day IL August 1 due to right elbow neuritis. Evidently, the Giants don’t expect him back this year, as his 60-day period will extend beyond the end of the […]
The Guardians’ Looming Outfield Decisions
Outfield production has been a persistent flaw for the Guardians for several seasons now. Dating back to 2021, Cleveland outfielders have posted a collective .247/.313/.367 batting line — about 8% worse than league average, by measure of wRC+ (which weights for home park and league run-scoring environment). That may not seem all that bleak, but […]
