Cubs’ Ben Brown Has Setback With Neck Injury
The Cubs were hoping Ben Brown would factor into their pitching plans for the stretch run. That plan might be on hold after the righty experienced symptoms related to the neck injury that has cost him more than two months. Brown is headed back to Chicago to be examined by team doctors. “Not sure yet […]
The Case For The Orioles Extending Trevor Rogers
The Orioles acted as sellers at the deadline. They didn’t totally punt their season but they were clearly leaning to one side of the buy/sell line. Impending free Taylor Ward was traded to the Mariners. Adley Rutschman and Tyler Wells, both under club control through 2027, were traded to the Red Sox and Rays, respectively. […]
Yankees Sign Michael Fulmer To Major League Deal
The Yankees announced a series of roster moves involving right-handed pitchers today. They have signed Michael Fulmer to a major league deal and recalled Elmer Rodríguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In corresponding active roster moves, they have optioned Bradley Hanner to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and placed Fernando Cruz on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort. Kervin […]
Giants Select Braxton Roxby
The Giants announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Braxton Roxby. He will take the active roster spot of fellow righty Adrian Houser, who has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain. Left-hander Carson Whisenhunt has been transferred to the 60-day IL. Whisenhunt was diagnosed with a sprained […]
Braves Claim Ricky Vanasco
The Braves announced that they have claimed right-hander Ricky Vanasco off waivers from the Tigers and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett. Detroit designated him for assignment earlier this week when they signed Tyler Kinley, who had been released by Atlanta. Kinley’s release gave Atlanta an open 40-man spot, which Vanasco now fills. Vanasco, 27, started […]
Marlins Select Patrick Monteverde
The Marlins announced Wednesday that they’ve selected the contract of lefty Patrick Monteverde from Triple-A Jacksonville and optioned fellow lefty Cade Gibson to Jacksonville in his place. Miami already had an open spot on the 40-man roster after designating left-handed reliever John King for assignment recently. Monteverde, 28, will bring some length to a taxed […]
Giants’ Carson Whisenhunt To Undergo UCL Surgery
Giants lefty Carson Whisenhunt will undergo surgery to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. He’s getting one more opinion before having the procedure, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle adds, but it seems that’ll likely be to give a better idea as […]
Austin Slater Opts Out Of Rays Deal
Veteran outfielder Austin Slater has opted out of his minor league contract with the Rays, reports Robert Murray of FanSided. It seems Tampa Bay didn’t have any immediate plans to bring him to the majors, so he’ll look to latch on with a contender ahead of the Sept. 1 deadline for postseason eligibility. Slater, 33, […]

Willy Adames Diagnosed With UCL Sprain; Adrian Houser Headed For MRI
Giants shortstop Willy Adames has been diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Since it’s in his non-throwing arm, the team has not yet made a determination about surgery. The injury to Adames apparently occurred Sunday on a fairly innocuous slide into home […]
The Opener: Waldschmidt, Miller, Duran
Twins righty Taj Bradley tossed the first immaculate inning in franchise history on Tuesday against the A’s. He punched out Carlos Cortes, Brian Serven, and Henry Bolte on nine pitches. 1. Another walk-off HR for Waldschmidt Diamondbacks rookie Ryan Waldschmidt has three career home runs. Two of them have been of the walk-off variety. Clay […]
Jim Crane Discusses Astros’ Front Office Direction
The Astros parted ways with general manager Dana Brown on Monday, leaving the organization without a clear baseball operations leader. Owner Jim Crane is technically running the front office with input from the team’s three assistant general managers — Charles Cook, Gavin Dickey, and Connor Huff — plus senior advisor Jeff Bagwell. While the club’s […]
Yimi García Undergoes Thoracic Outlet Surgery
Blue Jays reliever Yimi García underwent surgery to address thoracic outlet syndrome last week, manager John Schneider told reporters (relayed by Shi Davidi of Sportsnet). That’ll officially end his season. This was the likeliest outcome when the Jays announced García’s TOS diagnosis a few weeks ago. Schneider suggested at the time that he was probably down […]

He signed a minor league deal on August 11, was called up within four […]
Nationals To Recall Luis Perales For MLB Debut
The Nationals are recalling right-hander Luis Perales from Triple-A Rochester, as first reported on X by @saborio30play. Washington optioned righty Jake Bird after tonight’s loss to Colorado. Perales is already on the 40-man roster, so there won’t be any other moves. It’s technically a recall even though it’s Perales’ first big league promotion. The 23-year-old has […]
Jarred Kelenic Elects Free Agency
August 25: Kelenic again cleared waivers and elected free agency, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker.

Cubs, Austin Wynns Agree To Minor League Deal
The Cubs are adding veteran catcher Austin Wynns on a minor league contract and assigning him to Triple-A Iowa, reports Iowa broadcaster Jason Kempf. He’d elected free agency after being outrighted by the Rangers last week. Wynns provides an experienced depth option behind the big league duo of Carson Kelly and Miguel Amaya. Chicago doesn’t have any other […]
Carson Whisenhunt Diagnosed With UCL Tear
6:05pm: Whisenhunt was diagnosed with a torn UCL and has been recommended for surgery, the Giants informed reporters (including Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle). It’s unclear if he’ll seek a second opinion. San Francisco placed him on the injured list tonight and recalled Spencer Bivens from Triple-A. 11:30am: Giants lefty Carson Whisenhunt exited last […]
Joe Espada To Remain Astros’ Manager For Rest Of Season
The Astros parted with general manager Dana Brown yesterday, leading to speculation about manager Joe Espada’s job security. His gig appears safe. Owner Jim Crane met with reporters before Tuesday’s matchup against the Yankees and said Espada will remain in his role for the rest of the 2026 campaign (h/t Chandler Rome of The Athletic). […]
Tigers Outright James Outman
Outfielder James Outman has cleared waivers and been sent to Triple-A, according to multiple reports, including from Chris McCosky of the Detroit News. The Tigers designated Outman for assignment over the weekend to clear a spot for lefty Andrew Sears. He only has two years of MLB service time and hasn’t been outrighted before, so […]
Brewers Designate Jonathan Ornelas For Assignment
The Brewers announced that outfielder Sal Frelick has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Infielder/outfielder Jonathan Ornelas has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. Ornelas’ tenure in Milwaukee is over after less than two weeks. He joined the club in a rare post-trade deadline swap with the A’s. The veteran utilityman played […]
Rockies Select Mason Adams, Activate Hunter Goodman
August 25: Colorado officially selected Mason Adams before Tuesday’s game against the Nationals. He’s a candidate to draw the start tonight. Blake Adams was sent back to Triple-A.

Athletics Claim Chris Roycroft
The Athletics announced that they have claimed right-hander Chris Roycroft off waivers from the Rays. Tampa had designated him for assignment in recent days. To open a 40-man spot, the A’s transferred shortstop Jacob Wilson to the 60-day injured list. It was reported last week that Wilson was unlikely to come back from his left […]
Marlins Place Pete Fairbanks On Injured List
The Marlins announced that right-hander Pete Fairbanks has been placed on the 15-day injured list with right median nerve irritation. Left-hander Dax Fulton has been recalled in the corresponding move. Miami’s loss in last night’s game was a blow in a few different ways. They went into the ninth inning tied with the Red Sox […]
