Twins Acquire Tommy Nance From Blue Jays
4:15pm: Both clubs have now announced the trade. The Twins transferred right-hander Mick Abel to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot. He first landed on the 15-day IL April 17, so he has already been out more than 60 days. That makes him eligible for reinstatement at any time. He underwent arthroscopic […]
Shohei Ohtani To Miss Start, Skip All-Star Game Due To Left Knee Issue
The Dodgers announced that Shohei Ohtani will not be making his start as scheduled this evening due to irritation in his left knee.

Diamondbacks Designate Pavin Smith For Assignment
July 10: The Diamondbacks have now officially announced the Smith and Waldschmidt moves.

The Astros have reinstated shortstop Jeremy Peña from the 10-day injured list. Infielder Braden Shewmake has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move.

MLBTR previously covered the Hammer DFA and Vientos IL […]
Brewers Designate Easton McGee For Assignment

McGee joined the Brewers in November […]
Nationals Select Tom Cosgrove
1:35pm: The Nats have now officially announced their selection of Cosgrove. Right-hander Jake Irvin has been transferred to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man spot. A shoulder strain put Irvin on the 15-day IL on May 24. His 60-day count is retroactive to that day, so he’ll be eligible for reinstatement in a […]
Luis Arraez Open To Extension With Giants
The Giants are one of the few clear sellers and have one of the most obvious trade chips in Luis Arraez. However, he’s also open to staying around via an extension. “Yes, why not?” Arraez said to John Shea of The San Francisco Standard about the possibility. “Especially because this organization gave me a big opportunity […]

Brewers To Sign Bryse Wilson
The Brewers and right-hander Bryse Wilson are in agreement on a deal, reports Robert Murray of FanSided. It’s unclear if it’s a major or minor league deal. If it’s a big league pact, the Brewers will need to open space for Wilson on the active and 40-man rosters. Wilson, 28, is in his ninth major […]
The Opener: Big Bats, A Pitchers’ Duel, And The Red-Hot Marlins
Bats were hot on Thursday, as hitters around the league combined for 39 homers and a .185 isolated power.

Matt Olson also homered for Atlanta on the same day that he […]

Clay Holmes Open To In-Season Extension Talks With Mets
Freddy Peralta and a handful of relievers figure to be the biggest focus of the Mets’ forthcoming sale. Peralta seems a near-lock to be moved before the August 3 trade deadline, while the team should field interest on the likes of A.J. Minter, Luke Weaver and Brooks Raley. Beyond Peralta, Clay Holmes is the team’s most […]
Royals Expected To Maintain High Asking Price On Wacha, Lugo
The Royals have been one of the more disappointing teams in MLB. They’re alongside the Angels as the two worst teams in the American League, the only AL clubs completely buried in the playoff picture. That theoretically positions them as deadline sellers. However, as explored on the MLBTR podcast this week, Kansas City doesn’t have […]
Angels Sign Pablo Reyes To Minor League Deal
The Angels have signed infielder/outfielder Pablo Reyes to a minor league deal, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com.

The transaction logs also indicated that catcher Jair Camargo has been outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. Carrasco, 39, was designated for assignment earlier this week. Since then, he has cleared outright waivers, elected free agency and signed […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: Seattle Mariners
The Mariners are coming off an ALCS appearance in 2025 and are looking to go even farther in 2026. They are in decent position thus far, as they have a slight lead in a tight American League West. A lot of the roster is in good position, so they might only look to make marginal […]
Mets To Place Mark Vientos On IL With Hand Fracture
Mets infielder Mark Vientos is going to be out a while. He was hit by a pitch on his right hand today. In his post-game press conference, as relayed by SNY Mets, interim manager Andy Green said Vientos has suffered a fracture and will be placed on the injured list. Green did not provide a […]

Dingler took a […]
