Nationals sign OF/DH to minor league contract a day after release
The Nationals have signed outfielder/designated hitter Harold Ramirez to a minor league deal, the team announced. Ramirez will report to Triple-A Rochester just a day after he was released by the Rays. Ramirez posted unremarkable numbers over his first three MLB seasons before he was dealt from the Cubs to...
Phillies get veteran OF back from IL
The Phillies announced that outfielder Brandon Marsh has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list, with utilityman Weston Wilson heading to Triple-A in the corresponding move. Marsh was placed on the IL on June 3 due to a right hamstring strain, so he’ll return to action after just slightly beyond the 10-day minimum.
Rangers Re-Sign Derek Hill To Minor League Deal
The Rangers have re-signed outfielder Derek Hill to a minor league contract, reports Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News (X link). He’ll head back to Triple-A Round Rock after electing free agency earlier in the week. Hill first signed a minor league contract over the offseason and was...
Orioles right-hander to undergo testing on sore elbow
Kyle Bradish left Friday's game after five innings due to soreness in his right elbow, and Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters, including MASNsports.com’s Roch Kubatko, that more will be known once Bradish undergoes examination. Bradish had allowed two earned runs over five innings and 74 pitches against the...
Three teams offer catching help to Phillies following injury
Three unnamed teams have offered catching help to the Phillies since the news broke earlier this week about J.T. Realmuto’s knee surgery, as president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski told The Athletic’s Matt Gelb. While Philadelphia is expected to look for some kind of short-term depth in Realmuto’s...
Braves to place center fielder on injured list
The Braves will place Michael Harris II on the 10-day injured list tomorrow, manager Brian Snitker told reporters (X link via Gabe Burns of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution). Atlanta’s center fielder came up lame while running the bases in tonight’s win over the Rays. He left the game with what the team called left hamstring tightness.
Dodgers to reinstate young RHP next week
Bobby Miller will return to the Dodgers rotation next week. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters that L.A. will reinstate Miller from the 15-day injured list to start against the Rockies on Wednesday (X link via Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times). He’s not the only Dodger pitcher who’ll be making a noteworthy start that night. Clayton Kershaw will begin a rehab appearance with Low-A Rancho Cucamonga on Wednesday.
Braves, Matt Carasiti Agree To Minor League Deal
The Braves agreed to a minor league contract with right-hander Matt Carasiti, per the team’s transaction log at MLB.com. He recently elected free agency when the Rockies designated him for assignment and passed him through outright waivers. Carasiti, 32, allowed 10 runs in 8 2/3 frames out of the...
MLB disciplines umpire Pat Hoberg for gambling violation
Major League Baseball has disciplined umpire Pat Hoberg for a violation of the league’s gambling policy, as first reported by Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic. Hoberg has appealed the decision. Commissioner Rob Manfred will hear the appeal, according to Rosenthal and Drellich. MLB released a vague...
Veteran righty elects free agency
Reliever Matt Bowman is back on the open market. The Mariners announced that the righty elected free agency after clearing outright waivers. It’s the second time in as many weeks for Bowman, who became a free agent on May 31 after being waived by the Diamondbacks. That could set...
Marlins' reliever Tanner Scott generating signficant trade interest
Marlins closer Tanner Scott has already been drawing trade interest for several weeks, and Jon Heyman of the New York Post lists the Yankees, Dodgers, Phillies and Orioles as just some of the many teams showing interest in the hard-throwing lefty. Will Sammon and Katie Woo of The Athletic suggested this morning that Scott could be the next notable name to be moved — although that doesn’t necessarily indicate a trade of Scott is nearing the finish line. But the Marlins already showed their willingness to act early on the trade market when they moved Luis Arraez just five weeks into the season, and power bullpen arms are among the most sought-after commodities on the trade market every year.
Rockies' ugly season gets worse with latest update on All-Star catcher
The Rockies announced they’ve placed catcher Elias Díaz on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 11, due to a strained left calf. Colorado reinstated Nolan Jones from the IL in a corresponding transaction. It’s not clear how long Díaz is expected to be out of action. His...
The Guardians’ bullpen has been transformative
Coming into 2024, the expectations for the Guardians were modest. They finished 76-86 last year and didn’t do much in the offseason. They made a few small trades, and their largest free agent signing was giving catcher Austin Hedges $4MM to be a glove-first backup to Bo Naylor. Many...
Angels reinstate, option Sam Bachman
The Angels announced that right-hander Sam Bachman has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Double-A Rocket City. The 40-man roster already had a vacancy with infielder Niko Goodrum being claimed off waivers by the Pirates earlier this week, but the roster is now full with this move.
Red Sox release one-time All-Star
The Red Sox have released first baseman Garrett Cooper, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive. That indicates he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. He’s now free to sign with any club. Cooper, now 33, has had some strong results in the past but this hasn’t...
Rays release DH/OF after designating him for assignment
The Rays have released designated hitter/outfielder Harold Ramirez following last week’s DFA, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. He’s now a free agent who can sign with any club. Ramirez always seemed likely to end up on the open market after his DFA. As we noted...
Cubs rookie starter diagnosed with stress reaction in neck
Cubs right-hander Ben Brown was placed on the injured list with a neck strain last week, but the team has now diagnosed him with a more ominous-sounding stress reaction in his neck, reports Patrick Mooney of The Athletic (X link). Brown’s expected to be out longer than the 15-day minimum on his current IL stint, though a firm timetable isn’t yet known.
Blue Jays designate struggling DH for assignment
The Blue Jays announced that they have recalled infielder/outfielder Addison Barger, while designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The club’s 40-man roster drops to 38. For a second consecutive Friday, the Jays have cut a hitter struggling in the majors and replaced...
Pirates Outright Ben Heller
Right-hander Ben Heller went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment by the Pirates and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Indianapolis, per the team’s transaction log at MLB.com. He’s been outrighted previously in his career, which will give Heller the right to reject the assignment in favor of free agency if he so chooses.
