Getz: White Sox Interested In Long-Term Deal With Murakami
The White Sox’ signing of Munetaka Murakami has proven to be one of the best offseason moves made by any team in the 2025-26 offseason. Chicago landed the 26-year-old slugger on a two-year, $34MM deal after the market didn’t provide the long-term pact he sought. The fit at Guaranteed Rate Field has been a strong […]
Dodgers Place Roki Sasaki On Injured List
August 27: The Dodgers have officially announced Sasaki’s IL placement. Right-hander Seth Halvorsen has been recalled as the corresponding move. August 26: The Dodgers will place Roki Sasaki on the 15-day injured list, manager Dave Roberts told reporters (relayed by Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic). The righty left tonight’s start at Truist Park with a […]
Royals Select Anthony Gose
The Royals announced Thursday that they’ve selected the contract of lefty Anthony Gose from Triple-A Omaha. Kansas City also recalled infielder Josh Rojas. Fellow infielder Michael Massey heads to the seven-day concussion list, while righty Mason Black was optioned to Omaha. Gose, 36, hasn’t pitched in the majors since a brief run with the 2024 […]
Marlins Release John King
Aug. 27: King cleared release waivers and is now a free agent, reports Isaac Azout of Fish On First. Aug. 26: King has been placed on release waivers, according to the MLB.com transaction log. That was inevitable after the DFA, as the southpaw could refuse a minor league assignment while retaining his salary after crossing […]
Eugenio Suárez, TJ Friedl Clear Waivers, Will Remain With Reds
Slugger Eugenio Suárez and outfielder TJ Friedl both went unclaimed on outright waivers and will remain with the Reds, reports Charlie Goldsmith of FOX 19. They’re expected to be with the club for Friday’s game at Wrigley Field, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic adds. Cincinnati placed both veterans on outright waivers Tuesday, hoping that […]
Cardinals Select Cade Winquest
The Cardinals announced Thursday that they’ve selected the contract of right-hander Cade Winquest from Triple-A Memphis. Right-hander Peter Strzelecki heads to the 15-day injured list due to extensor inflammation in his right forearm, which opens a spot on the 26-man roster. St. Louis already had an open 40-man roster spot, so no further moves are […]
The Opener: Peters, Kim, Suarez
The Giants are the only team in baseball without a sweep this season. They were so close to changing that on Wednesday. San Francisco was three outs away from taking all three games from the Reds, but gave up seven runs in the ninth inning to drop the final game of the series. 1. ‘Bananas […]
Reds Place Eugenio Suárez, TJ Friedl On Waivers
The Reds have placed designated hitter/third baseman Eugenio Suárez and outfielder TJ Friedl on waivers, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Neither player has been designated for assignment, and they’re both eligible to continue playing for Cincinnati while the 48-hour waiver process plays out. Both players made an appearance in Wednesday’s win over the Giants, with Suárez […]
Fernando Cruz Diagnosed With Partial UCL Tear
Yankees setup man Fernando Cruz has a partially torn UCL, manager Aaron Boone informed reporters after tonight’s win over the Astros (relayed by Brendan Kuty of The Athletic). The righty is seeking additional opinions as he weighs whether he’ll require surgery. In either case, it’s difficult to imagine Cruz pitching again this season. Surgery would very […]
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. The club’s 40-man is now full. Vazquez was in the running for […]
Padres Place Jeremiah Estrada On 15-Day IL
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 […]
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 […]
