Ben Brown Diagnosed With Stress Reaction In Neck; Cubs Continuing To Seek Rotation Help
When the Cubs placed righty Ben Brown on the 15-day injured list earlier this week, the injury was initially announced as a “neck strain.” The team didn’t provide a concrete timetable for his return. Manager Craig Counsell offered more specifics last night in an appearance on 104.3 FM The Score, stating that follow-up testing has […]
Mets Fire Manager Carlos Mendoza
The Mets’ disastrous season has apparently reached a tipping point. The team announced this morning that manager Carlos Mendoza has been fired. He’ll be replaced by former Padres skipper Andy Green, who had been working with the Mets in a player development role. Green will be the interim manager for the remainder of the season, […]

Top 35 Trade Candidates For The 2026 Deadline
Trade deadline season is approaching. There’s still a muddled standings picture in both leagues, but teams can have an idea of how their contention chances are shaping up by mid-late June. Even though significant trade activity is unlikely to pick up until after the All-Star Break, front offices need to begin mapping out buy/sell trade […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: New York Yankees
MLBTR’s team-by-team trade deadline preview series is back for a second year. The Trade Deadline Outlook series, exclusive for Front Office subscribers, launched last year. This year’s edition kicks off with an obvious buyer. Over the next month or so, each team will get an entry, broadly starting with the most obvious buyers and sellers. […]
MLB Releases Latest CBA Proposal
Major League Baseball announced yet another proposal regarding a new collective bargaining agreement Thursday, their third in the past three weeks. As with the last two — which have pushed for a salary cap/floor structure and sweeping cuts to the amateur draft — the Players Association will surely declare today’s a non-starter. MLB’s statement accompanying […]
Twins Likely To Get Luke Keaschall Outfield Playing Time
For the first time in his MLB career, Luke Keaschall played the outfield on Saturday. The Twins sent him out to right field for the final inning of a 16-8 win over the Diamondbacks. One mop-up appearance doesn’t mean much. Matt Olson and Rhys Hoskins have also been pressed into outfield action mid-game this season. However, Keaschall’s […]
Marlins To Option Connor Norby
9:21pm: Pauley will come back up from Jacksonville in the corresponding move, reports Kevin Barral of Fish On First. 5:23pm: The Marlins are going to option infielder Connor Norby, reports Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. The corresponding move isn’t known yet. The Marlins are off tonight, so the full slate of moves might not be […]
Marlins Outright Christopher Morel
The Marlins sent first baseman Christopher Morel outright to Triple-A Jacksonville, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. Miami designated him for assignment over the weekend when Griffin Conine returned from hamstring surgery. Morel will surely accept the assignment and remain in the organization. He has less than five years of service time, so he’d forfeit the remainder […]
Angels Sign Dillon Tate To Minor League Deal
The Angels signed reliever Dillon Tate to a minor league contract and assigned him to their Arizona complex. He’ll build up in rookie ball before presumably reporting to Triple-A Salt Lake. Tate has been a free agent since the Blue Jays ran him through waivers at the end of last season. The 32-year-old righty made five […]

A’s Release Scott Barlow
The Athletics have released veteran reliever Scott Barlow, per their transaction log at MLB.com. He was designated for assignment over the weekend. Barlow signed with the A’s on a one-year, $2MM deal back in early February. His time in green and gold did not go well. Barlow pitched 33 1/3 innings with a career-worst 6.48 […]
D-backs Activate Max Kepler
4:00pm: The Diamondbacks have now made it official. Kepler is activated and Tawa optioned. Nelson was moved to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot. 12:01pm: The Diamondbacks signed veteran outfielder Max Kepler to a one-year deal earlier this month as the 33-year-old wrapped up the final stages of an 80-game PED suspension. He’s […]
Nick Madrigal Elects Free Agency
The Angels announced that infielder Nick Madrigal cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Madrigal, 29, signed a minor league deal with the Halos in […]
Orioles Outright Michael Siani
The Orioles announced that outfielder Michael Siani has cleared outright waivers and been assigned to Triple-A Norfolk. He had been designated for assignment earlier this week.

Mariners Outright Miles Mastrobuoni
The Mariners announced that infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma. He had been designated for assignment by Seattle last week. He does not have three years of big league service time nor a previous career outright, so he does not have the right to reject this assignment in favor […]

June 21st: Rojas underwent the surgery on Friday, according to Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Cubs Designate Yosver Zulueta For Assignment

Left-hander Luis Peralta went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment by the Cubs and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Iowa, per the MLB.com transaction log.
