The Cardinals are planning to select the contract of right-handed reliever Luis Gastelum, per reports from Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat and Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Tigers Part Ways With Third Base Coach Joey Cora
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch today informed reporters, including Jason Beck of MLB.com, that the team is parting ways with third base coach Joey Cora.

The Opener: Dodgers, Royals, Doubleheader

Trade Deadline Outlook: Philadelphia Phillies
One month into their 2026 season, the Phillies had the worst record in MLB. They were half a game back of the Mets, who had the second-worst record, and 9.5 back of the Braves, who led the majors in wins. In the 10 weeks since, the Phillies have left the Mets in the dust and […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: Athletics
Three weeks ago, the A’s were within a half game in the AL West. The front office looked positioned to add pitching help in an effort to break their five-year playoff drought.

John Mozeliak Discusses Angels’ Draft, Deadline Plans
For the first and maybe only time, John Mozeliak will run the Angels’ draft and trade deadline this summer. The longtime Cardinals baseball operations leader signed on as interim GM with the Halos.

A’s Release Michael Kelly
The Athletics released reliever Michael Kelly over the weekend, according to the MLB.com transaction log.

Kelly had just landed on the Triple-A injured list at the time of his DFA. That made a release basically […]
Dodgers Announce Four Roster Moves
The Dodgers announced a few roster moves before tonight’s series opener against the Rockies.

Giants Claim Eric Cerantola, Outright Gregory Santos
The Giants have claimed right-hander Eric Cerantola off waivers from the Royals, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The Royals designated him for assignment last week.
