Diamondbacks Release Zack Littell
The Diamondbacks placed Zack Littell on release waivers, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Assuming he goes unclaimed, he’ll be a free agent. Arizona designated Littell for assignment on Sunday, ending his tenure with the club after three appearances. They’d signed the veteran righty as a long reliever after his release by Washington. Littell made […]
Pirates’ Endy Rodriguez Has Season-Ending Hip Surgery
Pirates catcher Endy Rodriguez is done for the year following left hip labrum surgery on Wednesday, the Bucs announced. He’ll be sidelined for seven to nine months. That timeline means Rodriguez could miss time next season. Rodriguez was initially placed on the injured list with hip inflammation. General manager Ben Cherington hinted at surgery last […]
Astros Expect Carlos Correa Back In September
Carlos Correa’s season was supposed to be over in May. The Astros infielder underwent surgery to repair a tendon tear in his left ankle three months back. Houston announced it would be a six to eight month rehab. Correa progressed to running and defensive drills by the first week of August. He recently resumed batting […]
Orioles Select Luis Vazquez
The Orioles selected the contract of infielder Luis Vazquez before Wednesday’s matchup against the Cardinals. He’ll take the spot of outfielder Tyler O’Neill, who is headed to the injured list with shoulder inflammation. Baltimore had an opening on the 40-man roster for Vazquez.

Reliever Jeremiah Estrada was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement, the Padres announced. The club recalled righty David Morgan to take his spot. This marks Estrada’s third trip to the IL this season. He’s previously missed time with elbow and knee issues. San Diego has not given an estimate for […]
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 […]

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.

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.

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, […]

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.

The Astros parted ways with general manager Dana Brown on Monday, leaving the organization without a clear baseball operations leader.

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).

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 […]

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).

Joe Espada To Remain Astros’ Manager For Rest Of Season
