The Opener: Brewers/A’s, Cease, Mancini
The Nationals entered Monday’s action with an 0-29 record when trailing heading into the ninth inning (h/t Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic). Washington erased a 3-1 deficit against the Giants in the final frame, scoring three runs against reliever Keaton Winn to secure a comeback victory. The bullpen collapse spoiled a strong start from Logan […]
2026-27 MLB Free Agent Power Rankings: June Update
We’re more than one third of the way through the 2026 MLB season, and what looked like a weak free agent class heading into the year only looks thinner following injuries and poor performances from many of the top names. It’s not hyperbole to call this the thinnest crop of free agents in recent memory. […]
Astros GM: “Zero Discussions” About Trading Alvarez, Peña
The Astros came back from a ninth-inning deficit to take an extra-inning win tonight over the Angels. That improves their record to 31-37. They’ve evened out after an 8-18 April but haven’t really cut into the early-season hole they dug, playing slightly above .500 since the beginning of May. That would ordinarily point toward a […]
Yoán Moncada To Undergo Knee Surgery
Yoán Moncada will require surgery to address his right knee injury, reports Francys Romero. Specifics on the procedure aren’t clear, nor is it known whether Moncada is expected back this season. He’s out until at least mid-July after the Angels transferred him to the 60-day injured list this evening. Moncada seemingly never fully recovered from […]
Nationals Notes: Herz, Alvarez, Henry, Ortiz
Nationals lefty DJ Herz tossed two scoreless innings in the Florida Complex League on Friday. It’s the southpaw’s first game action in almost two years, as Herz underwent Tommy John surgery at the beginning of the 2025 season. It’s the start of what’ll likely be more than a month-long buildup. Acquired from the Cubs as […]
D-Backs Trade Taylor Rashi To Twins
The Diamondbacks announced they’ve traded reliever Taylor Rashi to the Twins for cash considerations. Arizona designated him for assignment on Friday to open a 40-man roster spot for infield prospect LuJames Groover.

Mancini is starting at first base and batting seventh against his old team, who are sending Spencer Arrighetti to the mound. The Halos also […]
Jake Woodford Elects Free Agency
The Brewers designated Jake Woodford for assignment on Friday. As of today, he has cleared waivers and rejected an outright assignment in favor of free agency (per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com).

Rangers Trade Richie Martin Jr. To Rockies
The Rangers have traded Richie Martin Jr. to the Rockies, according to the infielder’s transaction log on MLB.com. He has been assigned to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Taking his spot in the major league bullpen is Tommy Nance, returning from a three-week stint on the injured list. This leaves the Blue Jays with an open spot on their 40-man roster. Rodríguez signed a five-year, $32MM contract […]
Mariners Place J.P. Crawford On 10-Day IL
The Mariners have placed shortstop J.P. Crawford on the 10-day injured list, three days after a hit-by-pitch forced him from the game. They’re calling the injury a right hand contusion. In Crawford’s place, Seattle has recalled infielder Ryan Bliss from Triple-A Tacoma. It’s a poorly timed injury for the Mariners, as Crawford’s recent play has […]

Diamondbacks Sign Max Kepler

Shaun Anderson Elects Free Agency
Right-hander Shaun Anderson has elected free agency after being sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com.

Taijuan Walker Opts Out Of Angels Contract
Veteran right-hander Taijuan Walker has been granted his release by the Angels, per the transaction log at MiLB.com.

Athletics Interested In Kris Bubic
Royals left-hander Kris Bubic is a player of interest for the Athletics in advance of the trade deadline, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale writes. Bubic is a free agent after the season, and thus a logical trade candidate if the 27-39 Royals can’t get back into contention. The first order of business is Bubic’s health, as […]
Rangers Release Sam Haggerty
The Rangers have released utilityman Sam Haggerty, according to his MLB.com transaction tracker. The veteran was designated for assignment on Friday. He’s now on the open market.
