Giants, Clayton Andrews Agree To Minor League Deal
The Giants signed lefty reliever Clayton Andrews to a minor league contract, per the transaction log at MLB.com. San Francisco assigned Andrews to their Arizona complex for the time being, though he’ll presumably head to Triple-A Sacramento before long. A former 17th-round pick by the Brewers, Andrews has five...
Noah Syndergaard is planning a comeback for the 2025 season
Noah Syndergaard has not pitched professionally since he was released by the Guardians at the end of last August. He reportedly drew interest from the Padres and Pirates over the winter but ultimately remained unsigned. With more than half the ’24 campaign in the books, it seems Syndergaard is turning...
AL names starting pitcher for All-Star Game
Burnes, 29, has been one of the best pitchers in the majors in recent years. He spent most of his career with the Brewers but came to the O’s via an offseason trade. From 2020 to 2023, Burnes logged over 600 innings with Milwaukee, posting a 2.86 ERA in that time. He struck out 30.9 percent of batters faced, limited walks to a 7.1 percent clip and kept balls in play on the ground at a rate of 46.4 percent. He made the All-Star team in three straight years from 2021 to 2023 and won the National League Cy Young in the first season of that stretch.
Mets Outright Joey Lucchesi
Mets left-hander Joey Lucchesi went unclaimed on waivers and was assigned outright to the team’s Triple-A roster in Syracuse, per their transaction log at MLB.com. He was designated for assignment last week when the Mets acquired righty Phil Maton from the Rays. Lucchesi has more than three years of...
Angels request release waivers on former All-Star
The Angels are releasing corner infielder Miguel Sano following last week’s DFA, per the team’s transaction log at MLB.com. He’ll be a free agent once he formally clears release waivers. Sano returned to the big leagues with the Halos this season after not playing in 2023. A...
White Sox reliever exits with shoulder injury after three pitches
Michael Soroka only three pitches in Sunday’s outing before leaving with what the White Sox announced as right shoulder soreness. More will be known once Soroka undergoes testing, though shoulder inflammation brought an early end to both his 2022 and 2023 seasons, and he had other shoulder issues in his first two major league seasons in 2018-19. Beyond these shoulder problems, Soroka missed almost the entirety of the 2020-22 seasons due to a pair of torn Achilles tendons, but he returned to the Show to pitch 32 1/3 innings of 6.40 ERA ball with the Braves last year.
Padres' Luis Arraez won't play in All-Star Game
The Padres completed their first half with a 6-3 loss to the Braves, and San Diego enters the All-Star break with a 50-49 record and a +12 run differential. While the National League wild-card race is still very crowded, the Padres are a game out of a playoff spot and still in good position to make a run in the second half, though they’ll need good health and continued production from their star players to make it happen.
2024 MLB Draft first round results
This year’s amateur draft is officially underway. More details and scouting reports on all these young players are available in pre-draft rankings from Baseball America, Fangraphs, MLB Pipeline, The Athletic’s Keith Law and ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel.

Injured Yankees slugger could return to action shortly after All-Star break
Giancarlo Stanton hasn’t played since June 22 due to a left hamstring strain and the slugger said at the time of his 10-day IL placement that he figured to be out for around four weeks. That timeline look to be pretty accurate, as Yankees manager Aaron Boone told MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch and other reporters that Stanton is “really close” to being activated from the injured list. While Stanton won’t be ready on Friday for the Yankees’ first game of the second half, Boone said Stanton’s return isn’t expected to last much beyond that point and that the veteran slugger might not even require a minor league rehab assignment.
Marlins outfielder suffers big injury after venting frustration
The Marlins announced that outfielder Dane Myers suffered a fracture in his left ankle on Saturday. Myers will visit a foot specialist to determine the severity of the injury, though the good news is that surgery isn’t expected to be required. Craig Mish of the Miami Herald writes that for now, Myers will miss roughly 6-8 weeks. An official injured-list placement for Myers could take place at any point during the All-Star break, or at least prior to the Marlins’ first game after the break on Friday.
Twins All-Star shortstop dealing with plantar fasciitis in right foot
Carlos Correa wasn’t in the Twins lineup this weekend due to what was initially described as a bruised right heel. However, Correa and Minnesota manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters (including The Athletic’s Dan Hayes) that the shortstop is dealing with a case of plantar fasciitis in his right foot, as was revealed in an MRI taken last night.
Dodgers receive positive update on injured veteran pitcher
Dodgers fans received great news regarding veteran left-hander Clayton Kershaw on Sunday, as manager Dave Roberts told reporters (including Jack Harris of the L.A. Times) on Sunday afternoon. The lefty pitched three innings without giving up a hit in a rehab start at the Triple-A level on Saturday, striking out...
Dodgers to promote top pitching prospect following All-Star break
The Dodgers are planning to promote right-handed pitching prospect River Ryan to the majors following the All Star break, according to The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya. It’s not currently known which specific day Ryan is expected to take the ball, and Ardaya also notes that it’s unclear how long the Dodgers expect to keep the right-hander in the big league rotation. Ryan is not yet on the 40-man roster, meaning a corresponding move will be necessary before Ryan can be promoted.
Astros get mixed bag of news from recent injury updates
The Astros are pulling back a bit on right-hander Luis Garcia’s rehab process after he didn’t rebound well follow his most recent start in the minors, manager Joe Espada told reporters, including Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle, on Friday. Kawahara went on to note that Espada emphasized that Garcia had not suffered a setback, although plans for the righty to throw a bullpen have been delayed and there’s no timetable for him to make his next rehab start.
Brewers designate veteran pitcher for assignment
The Brewers have designated veteran left-hander Dallas Keuchel for assignment, according to MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy. Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel went on to relay that right-hander Joel Kuhnel has had his contract selected and will take Keuchel’s place on the 40-man and active rosters. Keuchel, 36,...
White Sox reportedly still intend to trade dominant pitcher
The White Sox’s reported desire to deal dominant youngster Garrett Crochet this summer has made the southpaw one of the most intriguing players to watch in the days leading up to the trade deadline on July 30, and USA Today’s Bob Nightengale noted Sunday morning that Chicago still intends to deal the lefty this summer even as rival GMs express uncertainty regarding whether or not a deal will come together. Nightengale goes on to note that while the Padres made a “recent” offer to the South Siders for Crochet, White Sox brass “quickly dismissed” the proposal.
Cubs reportedly interested in Blue Jays catcher
The Cubs have expressed interest in Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. It’s unclear how serious discussions between the sides have become at this point. It would hardly be a surprise to see Toronto part ways with Jansen prior to the deadline on...
Twins to place pivotal infielder on 10-day injured list
The Twins will place Jose Miranda on the 10-day injured list prior to Sunday's game with the Giants, manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters (including Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press). Utilityman Diego Castillo will have his contract selected from Triple-A to take Miranda’s spot on the active roster and the Twins will have to make another move to clear space on the 40-man roster.
Red Sox reliever not yet ready to come off injured list
Chris Martin was retroactively placed on the 15-day injured list on July 4 and the Red Sox were hopeful that he could be activated this coming Friday on his first day of eligibility. However, Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters (including Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe) that Martin is temporarily shut down since the reliever “didn’t feel great” after a game of catch on Friday.
