Rangers To Place Corey Seager On Injured List
Corey Seager‘s return to the Rangers will last less than a week. Texas is placing it star shortstop on the injured list and recalling infielder/outfielder Josh Smith from Triple-A Round Rock, per Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. It’s the third IL stint of the season for the 32-year-old Seager, who exited yesterday’s game […]
A’s Trade Brett Harris To Red Sox
The Red Sox added to their infield depth this morning, announcing the acquisition of Brett Harris from the Athletics in exchange for minor league righty Ben Hansen. Harris, who’d been designated for assignment by the A’s, has been optioned to Triple-A Worcester for now. In order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster, Boston […]

Trade Deadline Outlook: San Francisco Giants
In a season where many clubs are caught in the middle and will take as much time as possible before determining whether to more aggressively buy or sell, the Giants have some rare — if unwanted — clarity. They’re sellers. President of baseball operations Buster Posey already conceded that things are trending that direction. It’s […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: Tampa Bay Rays
After consecutive fourth place finishes in the AL East, the Rays are back to their old ways. They’ve exceeded outside expectations and not only find themselves atop the division, they’re approaching July with the best record in the American League. The Rays are coming off a sweep of the Diamondbacks and have the sport’s longest […]
Vince Velasquez Elects Free Agency
Veteran righty Vince Velasquez elected free agency after being outrighted by the Cubs, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. Chicago designated him for assignment on Sunday and quickly ran him through waivers. Velasquez has had a couple brief stints on the big league roster. He has made one long relief appearance in each, combining for 3 […]

The Red Sox and Athletics agreed to a trade sending infielder Brett Harris to Boston, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive.

Minor league righty Ben Hansen will go back to the A’s in return, reports Andrew Parker of […]
Red Sox To Designate Tommy Kahnle For Assignment
The Red Sox are designating veteran reliever Tommy Kahnle for assignment, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive. Cotillo was also first to report that Boston will recall lefty Alec Gamboa from Triple-A Worcester tomorrow. There’ll probably be more moves coming. Starter Connelly Early exited after four innings tonight with discomfort at the back of his elbow. Interim manager Chad […]
Yankees Injury Notes: Judge, Grisham, McMahon
The Yankees were blown out by the Tigers tonight, dropping their sixth consecutive game in the process. The ugliest stretch of their season has dropped New York 2.5 games back of a red hot Tampa Bay team in the AL East. It leaves the Yanks with a 12-14 record since Aaron Judge’s most recent appearance. The three-time […]
A’s, Jack Winkler Agree To Minor League Deal
The Athletics are in agreement with utility player Jack Winkler on a minor league contract, as first reflected on the MLB.com transaction tracker. He has been assigned to Triple-A Las Vegas. Winkler backfills the upper minors infield depth which has been tested by a few injuries. Jacob Wilson and Zack Gelof have landed on the injured […]
Marlins Place Anthony Bender On Injured List
The Marlins placed reliever Anthony Bender on the 15-day injured list with a stress reaction in his right shin. Zach Brzykcy is up from Triple-A Jacksonville to take his place in the bullpen. Miami also optioned Graham Pauley to open a spot for Liam Hicks, who returns from the 10-day injured list. It’s a tough loss for the […]
White Sox, Rangers Agree To Minor League Trade
The White Sox and Rangers agreed to a one-for-one trade of minor leaguers, as first reported by Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network. Chicago sends Triple-A reliever Ben Peoples to Texas in exchange for High-A catcher Ben Hartl. Neither player has appeared in MLB, nor do they occupy spots on the 40-man roster. Peoples, 25, was one […]
Blue Jays Move Patrick Corbin To Bullpen
Blue Jays manager John Schneider announced to reporters today that left-hander Patrick Corbin is being moved to the bullpen. He was originally slated to start tomorrow’s game.

Dodgers Designate Jonathan Hernández For Assignment
The Dodgers announced that right-hander Wyatt Mills has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City. Fellow righty Jonathan Hernández has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. Hernández, 29, was signed to a major league deal just over six weeks ago. Since then, he has made 12 appearances for the Dodgers, working a low-leverage role. […]
Mitchell Parker Likely To Undergo Tommy John Surgery
The Nationals placed left-hander Mitchell Parker on the 15-day injured list yesterday with elbow inflammation. It seems he is slated to miss far longer than 15 days, however. Manager Blake Butera told reporters today that the lefty has a Grade 3 sprain of his ulnar collateral ligament and will mostly likely require Tommy John surgery. […]
D-Backs Recall Brandon Pfaadt
June 30th: The Diamondbacks have now officially recalled Pfaadt. Righty Juan Burgos was optioned to Triple-A Reno as the corresponding move.

Rangers Designate Chris Paddack For Assignment
The Rangers announced that right-hander Gavin Collyer has been recalled from Triple-A Round Rock. In a corresponding move, fellow righty Chris Paddack has been designated for assignment.

Brewers Select Garrett Stallings
The Brewers announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Garrett Stallings. Left-hander Robert Gasser has been optioned to the Arizona Complex League as a corresponding active roster move. The 40-man roster has had a vacancy since Luis Rengifo was designated for assignment earlier this month. Stallings now fills that final spot. Milwaukee reinstated […]
Phillies Select Lou Trivino
The Phillies announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Lou Trivino. Fellow righty Chase Shugart was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in the corresponding active roster move. The 40-man roster has had a vacancy since Bryse Wilson was designated for assignment last week, later going to the Cubs via waivers. Trivino fills that […]
Astros Place Jeremy Peña On Injured List
June 30th: The Astros officially placed Peña on the IL today and recalled Delgado. June 29th: The Astros are placing Jeremy Peña on the 10-day injured list with a mild left calf strain, manager Joe Espada told reporters (including Chandler Rome of The Athletic).

Blue Jays Outright Simeon Woods Richardson
Right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson passed through waivers unclaimed after his recent DFA, per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. He’s been assigned outright to Triple-A Buffalo. Woods Richardson lacks the prior outright assignment or service time needed to reject an outright in favor of free agency, so he’ll remain with the organization as a depth piece. […]
Reds Select Ivan Johnson
The Reds announced that they have selected the contract of infielder/outfielder Ivan Johnson. He’ll take the active roster spot of outfielder Dane Myers, who has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder contusion.
