Major League Baseball’s 29 other owners will vote on the Padres sale on Monday, according to reports from Dennis Lin of The Athletic and Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune. The agreement will need approval from 22 owners, the final step to finalize the transfer of majority control to José E. Feliciano and Kwanza […]
Nationals To Select Jackson Kent
August 11: Kent will start Wednesday against the Cubs, manager Blake Butera confirmed (relayed by Kyle Williams of The Baltimore Banner). Washington hasn’t announced any other moves, but multiple Nationals beat reporters noted that Mikolas was saying goodbyes to teammates after Tuesday’s game. August 10: The Nationals are planning to select the contract of left-hander […]
Nick Kurtz Appears Unlikely To Return This Season
There’s a good chance that Nick Kurtz’s season is over. A’s manager Mark Kotsay tells Martín Gallegos of MLB.com that the first baseman’s right thumb will be immobilized throughout August after he received a platelet-rich plasma injection last week. “Four weeks of no mobility. You probably can do the timeline and think through the scenarios in front […]
Angels Sign Michael Fulmer, Hagen Danner To Minor League Deals
The Angels signed right-handers Michael Fulmer and Hagen Danner to minor league contracts, the team announced. Fulmer will report to Triple-A Salt Lake, while Danner has initially been assigned to the Arizona complex. Fulmer has spent most of the season on a minor league contract with the Giants. He was released last week after spending the year […]
Dodgers Activate Blake Snell
The Dodgers have officially reinstated Blake Snell from the 60-day injured list. He’ll start tonight’s game against the Royals, who’ll run Michael Wacha in Game 2 of the series. Lefty Charlie Barnes was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City to open a spot on the pitching staff. The Dodgers transferred Blake Treinen to the 60-day injured list in […]
Giants Sign Andrew Knizner, Designate Eddys Leonard For Assignment
The Giants announced that they have signed catcher Andrew Knizner. He will take the active roster spot of fellow backstop Zach Morgan, who has been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. They also reinstated outfielder Victor Bericoto from the 10-day injured list and designated infielder/outfielder Eddys Leonard for assignment. Prior to the official announcement, Susan Slusser of […]
Red Sox Designate Jake Rogers For Assignment
The Red Sox announced that catcher Jake Rogers has been designated for assignment. That opens a roster spot for fellow catcher Adley Rutschman to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list. The Sox also transferred infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa to the 60-day injured list. Rutschman will be making his team debut tonight. A surprising deadline day […]
Rangers Select Jarred Kelenic, Designate Jonah Bride For Assignment
The Rangers announced that they have selected the contract of outfielder Jarred Kelenic. In a corresponding move, infielder Jonah Bride has been designated for assignment. It was just two days ago that Texas added Bride to the roster while optioning outfielder Alejandro Osuna. That left the Rangers with a bit of a lopsided roster. They […]
Brewers Re-Sign Bryse Wilson
The Brewers announced they’ve re-signed righty Bryse Wilson on a big league deal. The Pro Edge Sports Management client jumps right back into the bullpen after electing free agency yesterday. Milwaukee designated Lyon Richardson for assignment to create space on the active and 40-man rosters. It’s essentially a reversal of Milwaukee’s move from last Saturday, when they […]
Yankees Recall Bradley Hanner For MLB Debut
The Yankees announced they’ve recalled reliever Bradley Hanner from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He takes the bullpen spot of Kervin Castro, who lands on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to August 10) with right elbow neuritis. ESPN’s Jeff Passan was first to report Hanner’s promotion. It’s the first big league call for the 27-year-old Hanner, who has spent […]
Rockies To Designate Edouard Julien For Assignment, Recall Zac Veen
The Rockies are set to designate infielder Edouard Julien for assignment and recall outfielder Zac Veen from Triple-A Albuquerque, reports Kyle Newman of the Denver Post. Colorado added Julien and righty Pierson Ohl from the Twins in an offseason swap sending minor league righty Jace Kaminska back to Minnesota. Kaminska still hasn’t made his way […]
Trey Yesavage Undergoes Meniscus Surgery
Blue Jays starter Trey Yesavage underwent surgery to repair the meniscus injury in his left knee, manager John Schneider tells reporters (including Mitch Bannon of The Athletic). The team is calling him week to week and has not closed the door on him returning this season. Yesavage landed on the 15-day injured list last week with […]
Reds Select Michael Toglia
The Reds announced Tuesday that they’ve selected the contract of first baseman/outfielder Michael Toglia from Triple-A Louisville and activated lefty Nick Lodolo from the 15-day injured list. Cincinnati opened a 40-man roster spot for Toglia by transferring Hunter Greene — who’s set to undergo UCL surgery — from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL. […]
Blue Jays Place Jameson Taillon On Injured List
The Blue Jays announced that right-hander Jameson Taillon has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis. Fellow righty Chase Lee has been recalled as the corresponding move. Taillon was acquired from the Cubs just over a week ago. Last night, his second start since that trade, he departed after four innings. […]
Tigers Select Tanner Rainey
The Tigers announced they have selected the contract of right-hander Tanner Rainey. He takes the active roster spot of left-hander Enmanuel De Jesus, who has been placed on the paternity list. The 40-man roster had a vacancy, so no further moves are required. Rainey, 33, signed a minor league deal with the Tigers last summer. […]
Angels Fire Mike Maddux, Darryl Scott, Dom Chiti
The Angels are cleaning house on the pitching end of their coaching staff. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports that the Halos have fired pitching coach Mike Maddux, assistant pitching coach Darryl Scott and bullpen coach Dom Chiti. The team announced the three dismissals shortly after the initial report. Double-A pitching coach Tim Leveque and assistant pitching […]
Marlins Place Kyle Stowers On Injured List
August 11: The Marlins placed Stowers on the 10-day injured list today, retroactive to August 10, with a left hamstring strain. Pauley has been recalled in a corresponding move. August 9: First baseman Kyle Stowers made an early exit from the Marlins’ 12-3 win over the Angels today due to what the Marlins described as left […]
A’s Claim Drew Rom
The Athletics have claimed left-hander Drew Rom off waivers from the Brewers, per a club announcement. The A’s already had an opening on the 40-man roster, so no corresponding 40-man move was necessary. Milwaukee had designated Rom for assignment over the weekend. Rom, 26, was a 2018 fourth-rounder by the Orioles. Baltimore traded him to […]
Twins Pursued Detmers, Soriano Prior To Deadline
The Twins added several veteran players at the deadline, picking up relievers A.J. Minter (Mets) and Jeff Hoffman (Jays) while also bringing starter Dean Kremer over from the Orioles. That trio, coupled with their mid-July pickup of Tommy Nance (also from Toronto), added some life to a pitching staff and marked a clear change in direction […]
Yankees Release Rafael Montero
The Yankees have released veteran right-handed reliever Rafael Montero, per an announcement from their Triple-A affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. He’d signed a minor league deal back in February. Montero, 36 in October, hasn’t pitched in the majors yet this season. If he doesn’t latch on with another club and make it to the big leagues, […]
The Opener: Fourth Out Rule, Rutschman, Kremer, Senga
The rarely seen “fourth out” rule came into play last night in the Red Sox/Blue Jays game. With runners on the corners and one out, a Ceddanne Rafaela fly ball to center should’ve been a sac fly. Instead, both runners advanced, thinking there were two outs. Toronto easily doubled Nick Sogard off first, but the […]
MLB Mailbag: White Sox, Cubs, Mets, Skubal, Free Agency
The latest MLBTR Mailbag will look at whether the White Sox were too passive at the deadline, the Cubs’ slate of deadline additions, some non-trades from the Mets, the Tarik Skubal deal, the upcoming class of free agents and more. (Note: as always, some questions are lightly edited for clarity and/or brevity.) Let’s dive in! Brandon […]
Bryse Wilson Elects Free Agency
Right-hander Bryse Wilson elected free agency after being outrighted by the Brewers, relays Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. Milwaukee designated him for assignment on Saturday. Wilson has bounced around this season. He had very brief big league stints with the Phillies and Cubs before signing with Milwaukee shortly before the All-Star Break. Wilson made six appearances for […]
Rays, Jake Woodford Agree To Minor League Deal
The Rays are signing right-hander Jake Woodford to a minor league contract, reports Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times. He elected free agency after being waived by the Cubs last week. Woodford has some familiarity with the Rays’ coaching staff. He was with the team in Spring Training after signing an offseason minor league […]
D-Backs To Use Zack Littell In Relief
Zack Littell was activated by the Diamondbacks this afternoon after signing a major league contract over the weekend. The veteran righty told the Arizona beat the team informed him he’ll be working out of the bullpen, at least to begin his tenure (video provided by Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports). The Snakes activated Michael Soroka from […]
