MLB Trade Rumors
Angels LHP exits start with forearm tightness
It seems fair to presume Sandoval will head for imaging in the next couple of days. While it’s too early to know whether he’s facing a significant absence, the southpaw’s reaction on the mound and the diagnosis are clearly cause for concern. Sandoval worked 2 1/3 scoreless...
Mets reliever undergoes knee surgery
Mets reliever Grant Hartwig underwent surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee, the team announced, via Tim Healey of Newsday. He’ll be out for six to eight weeks. Hartwig, 26, is a depth arm who has pitched for the Mets in each of the last two seasons. He made 28 appearances as a rookie, working to a 4.84 ERA across 35 1/3 innings. That was enough for Hartwig to hang onto his spot on the 40-man roster throughout the offseason. He has pitched in four big league games this year, allowing six runs over 6 2/3 frames.
Dodgers transfer two-time All-Star 3B to 60-day injured list
The Dodgers transferred third baseman Max Muncy to the 60-day injured list this evening. The move opened a spot on the 40-man roster for righty Kyle Hurt, who was reinstated from his own stint on the 60-day IL and optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Muncy has been out since May...
Yankees interested in recent Red Sox release with All-Star nod on resume
The Yankees are showing interest in free agent Garrett Cooper, reports Robert Murray of FanSided. He hit the open market a week ago after being released by the Red Sox. Cooper is looking for his third team of the 2024 campaign. He cracked the Cubs’ season-opening roster after signing a minor league contract. Cooper had a solid .270/.341/.432 showing across 12 games for Chicago, yet the Cubs designated him for assignment in April. The front office was evidently alarmed that he had struck out 13 times over his first 41 plate appearances. That skepticism seems to have been warranted, as Cooper struggled upon being dealt to the Red Sox in a cash trade.
Rockies Select Sam Hilliard
The Rockies announced they’ve selected outfielder Sam Hilliard onto the MLB roster. Colorado also reinstated second baseman Brendan Rodgers from the 10-day injured list. The Rox placed Charlie Blackmon and Adael Amador on the 10-day IL in corresponding moves. Amador has right oblique tightness — manager Bud Black had termed it a mild strain last night — while Blackmon suffered a strained right hamstring. Blackmon’s placement is retroactive to June 19.
Report: Mariners plan to be aggressive in adding offense
The Mariners are planning to be aggressive in adding offense this summer, according to a report from Will Sammon, Patrick Mooney and Ken Rosenthal the Athletic. The report adds that money isn’t expected to be an issue for them in the coming months, which tracks with comments from manager partner John Stanton earlier this month when he said that the front office would have resources to bolster the club.
Yankees designate former World Series champion for assignment
The Yankees announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Phil Bickford, with left-hander Victor González designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Right-hander Yoendrys Gómez was also recalled, with a roster spot having been opened for him when right-hander Ron Marinaccio was optioned Thursday night. González...
Guardians recall infielder for MLB debut
The Guardians announced that infielder Gabriel Arias has been placed on the family medical emergency list. In a corresponding move, the club has recalled infielder Angel Martinez, who will be making his major league debut as soon as he gets into a game. Martinez, 22, has been a notable prospect...
Marlins release veteran right-hander
The Marlins have released right-hander Burch Smith, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. That was the expected outcome after he was designated for assignment a week ago. He’s now a free agent and can sign with any club. Smith, 34, signed a minor league deal with the Rays...
Veteran Mets reliever still keen to continue career following surgery
Left-hander Brooks Raley underwent Tommy John surgery last month and won’t be able to return to the mound until around his 37th birthday, but he’s not planning on hanging up his spikes. “I know it’s going to be a long recovery, as everyone has told me. Slow and...
Former NL MVP makes decision on future of Pirates playing career
Outfielder/designated hitter Andrew McCutchen has seemingly been reinvigorated by a return to the Pirates in recent years and he doesn’t plan on stopping. “In my mind, this isn’t my last year,” McCutchen said to Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “As long as my body holds up and I’m not embarrassing myself out there, I wanna keep going.”
Rockies to reinstate Opening Day starter who's been out since April
The Rockies will welcome Kyle Freeland back to the rotation for Sunday’s game against the Nationals. Colorado’s Opening Day starter has been out since April 19 because of an elbow strain. Freeland avoided surgery despite that alarming diagnosis. He has made a trio of rehab appearances — one...
Royals among teams interested in acquiring one of MLB's top trade chips
There may be no player who is more likely to be traded over the next month than Tommy Pham, who is hitting well as an affordable rental on the worst team in the league. It’d be very surprising if the White Sox didn’t move him before the July 30 deadline.
Marlins to designate Christian Bethancourt for assignment
The Marlins are designating catcher Christian Bethancourt for assignment, reports Christina De Nicola of MLB.com. De Nicola adds that the recently acquired Ali Sánchez is likely to be selected onto the MLB roster in his place. Miami acquired Bethancourt from the Guardians in a cash transaction over the offseason....
Angels Place Jose Soriano On Injured List, Outright Cole Tucker
The Angels placed starter José Soriano on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 17, with an abdominal infection. Los Angeles is off tonight, so they didn’t immediately reveal the corresponding move. The Halos also announced that Cole Tucker went unclaimed on waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake after being designated for assignment on Monday.
Brewers get ugly injury update on promising rookie pitcher
Brewers rookie left-hander Robert Gasser will undergo surgery to fix the UCL in his throwing elbow, he told reporters, via Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. It won’t be clear until the operation whether he requires a full Tommy John reconstruction or a modified ligament repair. Even in the better scenario of a slightly less significant procedure like the internal brace surgery, Gasser said he expects to miss at least a full calendar year.
Rangers Outright Jesús Tinoco
The Rangers announced that right-hander Jesús Tinoco has been assigned outright to Triple-A Round Rock. That indicates he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. He has the right to elect free agency though it’s not clear if he has chosen to do so. Tinoco,...
Yankees announce tough injury update for 'The Martian'
Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is going to miss a lot time with an oblique strain. SNY relayed video on X of manager Aaron Boone discussing the issue, with the skipper saying Dominguez will miss “up to eight weeks” before he can play in games because the strain is “pretty significant.”
Mariners Sign Rob Kaminsky To Minor League Deal
The Mariners have signed left-hander Rob Kaminsky to a minor league deal, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The southpaw has been assigned to Triple-A Tacoma and will give the club some non-roster depth. Kaminsky, 29, has a small amount of major league experience, having pitched for the Cardinals...
