The Opener: Abrams, Gausman, Doubleheaders

The Phillies were 90 feet away from forcing extra innings against the Dodgers. Instead, a chopper to Max Muncy led to a 5-2-6-4 double play to end the game (video link from the Dodgers on X). 1. Abrams hits two more HRs Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams is enjoying his time in Sacramento and Colorado. Abrams […]

MLBPA Makes Its First Proposal Related To Amateur Draft

The MLB Players Association announced the details of its first proposal related to the Rule 4 amateur draft on Wednesday. This comes a month on the heels of the league’s initial draft proposal. Evan Drellich of The Athletic and JJ Cooper of Baseball America were among those to cover the news. Unsurprisingly, there’s very little […]

Yankees To Activate Max Fried

The Yankees will activate Max Fried from the 15-day injured list tomorrow. The team announced that he’ll take the ball for Game 2 of a doubleheader against Pittsburgh. He’ll go opposite Bubba Chandler after a Mitch Keller vs. Gerrit Cole showing in the afternoon. Fried returns after spending more than two months on the shelf. He was diagnosed […]

Kyle Teel Expected To Miss 6-12 Weeks

The White Sox anticipate that catcher Kyle Teel will miss between six and 12 weeks with a left high ankle sprain, manager Will Venable told reporters Tuesday (link via Scott Merkin of MLB.com). Chicago placed him on the 10-day injured list and brought up Edgar Quero this afternoon. Teel suffered the injury on an attempted tag in […]

D-Backs Recall Kohl Drake, Gerardo Carrillo For MLB Debuts

8:03pm: Arizona also placed Drey Jameson on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 20, with right hip inflammation. Gerardo Carillo was recalled from Reno for the first promotion of his own career. Carrillo leveraged a clause in his minor league deal to secure a spot on the 40-man roster over the weekend. The 27-year-old has tossed […]

Trade Deadline Outlook: St. Louis Cardinals

The Cardinals kicked off a youth movement — and the significant payroll cut that comes with it — with a series of trades last offseason. They’re nevertheless right in the thick of the Wild Card race, perhaps as much a surprise to their front office as it is to most outside observers. President of baseball […]

Tigers Place Jack Flaherty On Injured List

The Tigers announced they’ve placed Jack Flaherty on the 15-day injured list with flexor inflammation. Detroit recalled righty Ty Madden from Triple-A Toledo to replace him on the pitching staff. Flaherty evidently suffered the injury during yesterday’s start at Wrigley Field. He came out after four innings, but that was initially believed to be due to him […]

Rangers Select Marco Gonzales, Austin Wynns

The Rangers announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Marco Gonzales and catcher Austin Wynns. The 40-man roster had one vacancy. They opened another spot by transferring lefty Jalen Beeks to the 60-day injured list. Beeks underwent season-ending flexor surgery a couple weeks ago. In corresponding active roster moves, catcher Kyle Higashioka has […]

Athletics Place Mark Leiter Jr., Joshua Kuroda-Grauer On IL

The Athletics announced that right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 19, due to a right hip impingement. Infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer has been put on the 10-day IL due to surgery for a ruptured testicle. Righty Hayden Juenger and infielder Max Muncy have been recalled in corresponding […]

Dodgers Select Charlie Barnes, Transfer Will Smith To 60-Day IL

The Dodgers announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Charlie Barnes. Righty Landon Knack has been optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding active roster move. To open a 40-man spot, catcher Will Smith has been transferred to the 60-day injured list. Barnes, 30, was claimed off waivers from the Cubs in […]

Trade Deadline Outlook: Minnesota Twins

The Twins have had a better season than most — myself certainly included — anticipated. Taj Bradley is having a breakout year. Joe Ryan has been characteristically excellent. Ryan Jeffers (when healthy) has taken his game to a new level. Young players like Brooks Lee and Luke Keaschall have had solid showings. Trevor Larnach is […]

Nationals Designate Justin Lawrence For Assignment

The Nationals announced that right-hander Eddy Yean has been recalled from Triple-A Rochester. Fellow righty Justin Lawrence has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. The Nats claimed Lawrence off waivers just under a month ago. Since then, he has made seven appearances, allowing three earned runs in 6 1/3 innings. That gives him […]

Report: Mets Not Planning To Pay Down Salary In Trades

The Mets, in the midst of perhaps the most disappointing season of any club in baseball, head into the trade deadline as clear sellers. They’re not going to trade Juan Soto or promising young talents like Nolan McLean, Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing and Christian Scott. It’s unlikely that they’d be able to find a way […]

MLB

Braves Release Kyle Farmer

The Braves announced that outfielder Mike Yastrzemski has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Infielder Kyle Farmer has been released as the corresponding move. He’ll become a free agent once he clears release waivers, if he hasn’t already. Farmer, 35, signed a minor league deal with Atlanta in the offseason. Due to his veteran […]

Angels Reportedly Listening To Offers On Controllable Players

In a departure from trade deadlines and offseasons past, the Angels appear to be willing to hear other clubs out when they come calling about some of their most appealing, controllable trade options. Interim GM John Mozeliak said yesterday that he would “possibly” entertain such deals if the proposed returns were compelling. Meanwhile, Jeff Passan […]

Kyle Teel Placed On IL With Ankle Sprain

July 21: The Sox have officially placed Teel on the IL today with a left ankle sprain, with Quero recalled as the corresponding move. July 20: White Sox catcher Kyle Teel made an early exit from tonight’s game in Texas. Chicago announced that he’s being evaluated for a left ankle injury. They haven’t provided any […]

Red Sox Place Zack Kelly On 60-Day Injured List

The Red Sox announced that right-hander Zack Kelly has been recalled from Triple-A Worcester and placed onto the 60-day injured list with elbow inflammation. No corresponding move was announced, so the club’s 40-man roster count drops to 39. Kelly has a stress reaction in his olecranon bone but is not expected to require surgery, per […]

Teams Scouting Giants’ Heliot Ramos, Casey Schmitt

The Giants are clear sellers heading into the trade deadline, and contenders are sending scouts to check out the club’s potential trade chips. Outfielder Heliot Ramos and utilityman Casey Schmitt are among the bats being scouted by opposing teams, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Slusser mentions the Phillies and Mariners as teams […]

The Opener: Arenado, Peralta, Ryan

The Red Sox might never lose again. Third baseman Caleb Durbin powered the club to its 14th straight victory with a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning against the Orioles yesterday. Boston can match the franchise record with a 15th consecutive win on Tuesday. 1. Arenado notches hit No. 2,000 Diamondbacks third baseman Nolan […]

Rockies Trade Seth Halvorsen To Dodgers

The Rockies and Dodgers lined up on an intra-division trade that’ll see hard-throwing righty Seth Halvorsen go from Colorado to L.A. in exchange for minor league righty Nick Frasso and minor league outfielder Landyn Vidourek. The teams have announced the swap. Halvorsen is on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation at the moment, […]

John Mozeliak On Angels’ Deadline

Angels interim general manager John Mozeliak met with the media before the Halos welcomed his former team, the Cardinals, to Angel Stadium on Monday. The veteran executive will oversee some kind of deadline sale off the American League’s worst roster. How aggressive that’ll be remains to be seen. Mozeliak didn’t tip his hand beyond broadly […]

A’s Outright Joey Meneses

The Athletics outrighted first baseman Joey Meneses, according to the MLB.com transaction log. They had designated him for assignment over the weekend. Meneses has a previous career outright, which means he can decline the assignment in favor of free agency. Meneses signed an offseason minor league deal and was selected onto the MLB roster in June. […]
