Pirates Pursuing Bullpen Upgrades
The Pirates are actively pursuing bullpen help, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

D-backs Expected To Pursue Left-Handed Bats On Trade Market
The D-backs sit three game over .500, leaving them seven and a half games behind the division-leading Dodgers but just a half game back in the NL Wild Card hunt. There’s plenty of time for their outlook to change with the trade deadline two months down the road, but as things stand, Arizona seems likely […]

Diamondbacks Option Brandon Pfaadt To Get Stretched Out As Starter

The Opener: Sanchez, Happ, Pfaadt
The Cubs couldn’t lose at Wrigley Field early in the year. Now, they can’t buy a win at home.

Sanchez’s scoreless streak ends Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez navigated through six spotless innings […]

Cardinals Return Rule 5 Pick Matt Pushard To Marlins
The Cardinals returned Rule 5 draftee Matt Pushard to the Marlins, relays Jeff Jones of The Belleville News-Democrat. St. Louis designated the righty for assignment over the weekend. Pushard didn’t get much of an opportunity to establish himself. He landed on the injured list almost immediately due to patellar tendinitis in his right knee. That kept […]

The Pirates Finally Have an Offense
No team scored less often in 2025 than the Pirates. Of course, that wasn’t anything new. Since Pittsburgh’s playoff drought began in 2016, only one team, the Marlins, has scored fewer runs. The 2016 season was the last time the Bucs ranked among the top half of NL teams in scoring, while 2018 was the […]
Reds Release Josh Staumont
The Reds have released right-hander Josh Staumont, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. It’s possible his minor league deal had a June 1st opt-out, since that’s a common date for such provisions.
