The Brewers activated rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Milwaukee optioned outfielder Brandon Lockridge to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

Cubs Claim Gabriel Arias
The Cubs announced that they have claimed infielder Gabriel Arias off waivers from the Mets. New York designated him for assignment earlier this week. Right-hander Phil Maton has been transferred to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot. Arias is out of options and will also need an active roster spot once he […]
Mariners Select Jhonathan Díaz
The Mariners announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Jhonathan Díaz. Fellow lefty Josh Simpson has been optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding active roster move. To open a 40-man spot, infielder/outfielder Luke Raley has been transferred to the 60-day injured list. Raley underwent season-ending flexor surgery earlier this month. Díaz, 29, […]
Pirates Release Dominic Fletcher
Outfielder Dominic Fletcher triggered a release clause in his minor league deal with the Pirates and has been granted his release, per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He is now a free agent and can sign with any club. It’s the second time this year that Fletcher and the Bucs have gone down this […]
Nationals Select Erik Tolman
The Nationals announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Erik Tolman. Right-hander Yovanny Cruz has been optioned to Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding active roster move. The 40-man had a vacancy but is now full. Tolman, 27, took a winding road to this moment. Earlier this year, he spoke to David Laurila of […]
Giants Claim Philip Abner
The Giants have claimed left-hander Philip Abner off waivers from the Diamondbacks and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento, per Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com. Arizona designated him for assignment a few days ago. The Giants also selected lefty Matt Wilkinson, a move that was previously reported. Fellow lefty Reiver Sanmartin has been optioned to Sacramento […]
Astros Select Ethan Pecko
August 19: Per Chandler Rome of The Athletic, infielder/outfielder Brice Matthews has been transferred to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot for Pecko. Matthews was placed on the 10-day IL July 14 with a left knee sprain. His current status is unclear but he won’t be eligible for reinstatement until September. Right-hander […]
Blue Jays Designate Matt Waldron For Assignment
The Blue Jays announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Brendan Cellucci. Right-hander Matt Waldron has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. Waldron, 29, was just claimed off waivers from the Padres two weeks ago. He tossed 4 1/3 innings for the Jays, allowing five earned runs. The Jays have decided […]
Pirates Acquire Christian Bethancourt
The Yankees have traded catcher Christian Bethancourt to the Pirates for cash considerations, according to announcements from both clubs. Trades are allowed after the deadline if the player’s contract has not been selected to the 40-man roster, as MLBTR explained earlier this month. Bethancourt has been assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis but is expected to join […]
Rockies To Select Mark Manfredi
The Rockies are going to select the contract of left-hander Mark Manfredi, reports Kiley McDaniel of ESPN. Colorado has three vacancies on the 40-man roster, so they will only need to make a corresponding active roster move to accommodate Manfredi. Manfredi, 26, gets the call to the big leagues for the first time. A ninth-round […]
Jorge Polanco To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery
Mets infielder Jorge Polanco is set for ankle surgery and will miss the rest of the season, manager Andy Green told reporters, including Steve Gelbs of SNY. Polanco was placed on the injured list earlier today with left ankle bursitis. He’s struggled with the injury for much of the season. The Mets recalled Eric Wagaman […]
Braves Temporarily Move To Six-Man Rotation
With right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver joining the roster in place of reliever Tyler Kinley, the Braves are moving to a six-man rotation for the time being. Smith-Shawver will draw the start on Wednesday against the Twins. He should be fully stretched out after tossing 95 pitches with Triple-A Gwinnett in his most recent outing. Smith-Shawver is […]
The Opener: Brewers, Cubs, Pecko
Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. led off Tuesday’s matchup against the Mets with a homer. He then took a grand slam away from Francisco Lindor in the bottom of the second inning with one of the best robberies of the season (video link via MLB on X). 1. Brewers put up 22 Bryce Miller and […]
Yankees Notes: Fried, Bellinger, Judge
There was understandable concern in the Bronx when the Yankees placed Max Fried on the 15-day injured list yesterday. The diagnosis of an elbow bone bruise was the same as the one that cost the star lefty two months earlier in the season. Fortunately, the Yankees don’t anticipate nearly the same absence. Manager Aaron Boone told […]
Garrett Crochet Targeting Bullpen Return, Injury To Negate 2030 Opt-Out
If Garrett Crochet comes back this season, it’ll be in short relief. Last year’s AL Cy Young runner-up tells Chris Cotillo of MassLive that it’d “a million percent” be a bullpen return if he’s able to make it back before year’s end. Crochet has been out since April 26 with a capsule sprain in his shoulder. […]
Poll: Checking In On The AL Cy Young Race
Last weekend, the Yankees’ and Blue Jays’ hitters tried their best to help their respective aces gain some ground in the AL Cy Young race. Neither side had much luck. On Saturday, Cam Schlittler held Toronto to one run in 5 1/3 innings, striking out seven. The next day, it was Dylan Cease’s turn to dominate. […]
Tyler Soderstrom To Undergo Hip Surgery
The A’s are ruling Tyler Soderstrom out for the season. Manager Mark Kotsay told reporters that the outfielder will undergo left hip surgery on Friday (link via Robert Falkoff of MLB.com). Soderstrom has battled a hip impingement dating back to late June. He had a minimal IL stay, came back for five weeks, then was shut […]
Braves Sign Chuckie Robinson To Minor League Deal
The Braves signed depth catcher Chuckie Robinson to a minor league contract. He’s in the lineup tonight with Triple-A Gwinnett. Robinson finds a new home around a week after being released by the Dodgers. (His release from Los Angeles was coincidentally spurred by them signing frequent Atlanta depth catcher Chadwick Tromp to a minor league deal.) While […]
Rockies Place Hunter Goodman On Injured List
The Rockies announced they’ve placed star catcher Hunter Goodman on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to August 15, with a left shoulder strain. Braxton Fulford is up from Triple-A Albuquerque to replace him on the active roster. It doesn’t seem to be a major concern. Manager Warren Schaeffer told the Colorado beat that he expects Goodman to […]
Dodgers To Place Edwin Díaz On Injured List
5:40pm: Manager Dave Roberts says, per Harris, that Díaz has neck inflammation and is headed back to Los Angeles for more evaluation. 4:40pm: The Dodgers are going to place right-hander Edwin Díaz on the 15-day injured list, reports Katie Woo of The Athletic. The official injury diagnosis isn’t publicly known yet. Fellow righty Emmet Sheehan […]
Royals Option Lucas Erceg
The Royals announced today that right-hander Carlos Durán has been recalled from Triple-A Omaha. Fellow righty Lucas Erceg has been optioned to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move. Erceg, 31, is optioned to the minors for the first time in his career. It’s not a shocking move right now but it’s one that would have […]
Tigers Outright Trei Cruz
The Tigers have sent outfielder Trei Cruz through outright waivers and assigned him to Triple-A Toledo, per Chris McCosky of Detroit News. Detroit designated him for assignment two days ago when they selected Brett Callahan. Cruz, 28, was a third-round pick in the 2020 draft. As a prospect, he didn’t garner too much attention, apart […]

Blue Jays Outright Lenyn Sosa
The Blue Jays announced that infielder Lenyn Sosa has cleared outright waivers and been assigned to Triple-A Buffalo. He had been on the major league 60-day injured list but the club put him on waivers instead of adding him back to the active roster. Sosa, 26, was acquired from the White Sox in April. He […]
Rangers Outright Luis Curvelo
The Rangers have sent right-hander Luis Curvelo outright to Triple-A Round Rock, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. That indicates he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week. Curvelo, 25, was originally an international signing of the the Mariners in 2018.
