The Royals released veteran reliever Nick Anderson, according to the transactions log at MLB.com. Anne Rogers of MLB.com tweets that the right-hander is currently on release waivers.

The White Sox are planning to select the contract of infielder Brooks Baldwin before the season resumes on Friday, reports Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. He’s not on the 40-man roster, but the South Siders have a vacancy there after recently designating catcher Martin Maldonado for assignment.

The White Sox announced that they have signed infielder Nick Senzel, a move that was reported Tuesday night. To make room for Senzel, they designated infielder Danny Mendick for assignment. They also optioned infielder Lenyn Sosa, leaving a roster spot open. James Fegan of Sox Machine suggests on X that Yoan Moncada could take that spot, though that’s not confirmed as of now.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have optioned reliever Michael Petersen to Triple-A Oklahoma City for the second time this month. Petersen was last called up to the majors on July 9, and pitched in three games since. Overall this season, Petersen has appeared in nine games for the Dodgers, posting a...

Los Angeles Angels fans who have watched the team play this year are not confused by the bullpen being among the worst in baseball. Outside of Ben Joyce, Hunter Strickland, and the soon-to-be traded Carlos Estevez, the unit is populated with guys who struggle to find the strike zone and can't get swings and misses.

The Philadelphia Phillies will have an interesting decision to make in terms of their backup catcher. With J.T. Realmuto expected to return from the injured list soon, the team will have to choose between two options. Both Garrett Stubbs and Rafael Marchán have compelling cases to be the Phillies’ backup catcher going forward. In this case, minor league options are not a factor because both Stubbs and Marchán are in their last option year. Neither player has more than five years of major league service time, meaning an option being rejected by a player is not a factor.

The Rockies have sent left-hander Josh Rogers outright to Triple-A Albuquerque, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. That indicates he cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. He has the right to elect free agency but it’s not yet clear if he has chosen to do so.

Rockies Outright Josh Rogers

The Royals announced Friday morning that they’ve signed right-hander Dinelson Lamet to a minor league contract. He opted out of a minors pact with the Dodgers early last month and has been a free agent for the past six weeks. Presumably, given that layoff, he’ll ramp up at a low-level affiliate before heading to Triple-A Omaha. Lamet is repped by the MVP Sports Group.

While the Los Angeles Dodgers come out of the All-Star break with the second-best record in the National League and awaiting the returns of several injured players, the outlook for Max Muncy remains unclear. The Dodgers placed Muncy on the 10-day injured list May 17 due to a right oblique...

While most of the National League is still on the border of the playoff picture, the Dodgers have no such ambiguity. They’re in their typical position of preparing to buy. On paper, the team’s biggest question appears to be the roster depth. The Dodgers haven’t gotten much production out of the bottom third of the lineup. They have seven starting pitchers on the injured list at the moment, leading them to go into the All-Star Break with a four-man rotation that includes three rookies. They felt the effects in the weeks leading up to the break. They’ve taken just four of 12 games this month and have a 20-18 record since the beginning of June.
