The Phillies placed Hays on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a kidney infection, retroactive to Sept. 2. While Hays' infection helps explain why he's sat out both of the Phillies' last two games, it remains unknown if he'll require more than a minimum-length stay on the IL. Cal Stevenson will come up from Triple-A to fill the open spot on the active roster, though Johan Rojas figures to receive the largest increase in playing time while Hays is out.

The Browns waived Bell on Thursday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Bell, a 2022 third-round pick, failed to emerge as a regular starter in his first two seasons with Cleveland, but Cabot reports that the team hopes a reunion will be possible if he goes unclaimed on waivers. In Wednesday's practice Bell was limited with a quadriceps issue, but it looks like he's now healthy and wasn't waived with an injury designation.

Fudge signed a contract with the Lakers on Thursday. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. It's unclear if Fudge signed a two-way deal with the Lakers, though that could very well be the case as he spent the 2023-24 campaign on such deal, appearing in six NBA for the Lakers and Mavericks while averaging 2.5 points in 6.7 minutes per game. Even though Fudge is likely to battle for a roster spot in training camp, he's more likely to spend most of the upcoming campaign in the G League.
