6:52pm: Kansas City officially acquired Dobnak for cash considerations and optioned him to Triple-A. They transferred Cole Ragans from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list to open a spot on the 40-man roster. Ragans has been out since early May with an elbow issue and suffered a setback over the weekend. 5:50pm: The Royals […]
The Angels have acquired catcher Tyler Heineman from the Blue Jays. The Jays, who designated the backstop for assignment a few days ago, receive cash considerations in return. The Halos had an open 40-man spot and don’t need to make a corresponding move in that regard. However, Heineman is out of options and will need […]
The Braves have designated right-hander Hunter Stratton for assignment and transferred righty Spencer Strider to the 60-day injured list, according to the club’s transactions tracker at MLB.com. Those moves open two 40-man spots to select righty Carlos Carrasco and catcher Jair Camargo, moves which were reported earlier today. Stratton, 29, was acquired from the Pirates […]
Catcher Austin Wynns has elected free agency, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He was outrighted by Atlanta earlier this week. Since he has at least five years of big league service, he has the right to reject outright assignments in favor of free agency without forfeiting any salary. Wynns, 35, is a veteran […]
Astros right-hander Ryan Weiss cleared waivers and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Sugar Land, the team announced Wednesday. Houston designated him for assignment over the weekend when selecting Raynel Delgado‘s contract from Sugar Land. Now that he’s cleared waivers, Weiss will stick with the organization as non-roster depth. Weiss, 29, made his big league […]
The Braves are going to select right-hander Carlos Carrasco and catcher Jair Camargo to the roster between games of their semi-double-header today. One of them will be the “27th man” for the contest. Righty Anthony Molina will be optioned to make room for the other. Neither Carrasco nor Camargo are on the 40-man roster, so […]
The Angels have designated first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini for assignment, reports Andy Kostka of the Baltimore Banner. MLB.com’s Rhett Bollinger first pointed out that Mancini no longer had a locker set up in the clubhouse but that Vaughn Grissom — who’s been out with an oblique strain — did have a locker there. More to […]
The Nationals announced Wednesday that they’ve requested unconditional release waivers on righty Julian Fernández, whom they’d designated for assignment last week. A release was always the likely outcome, given that Fernández was placed on the minor league injured list last month and remained there at the time of his DFA. Injured players cannot be passed […]
The Guardians have released southpaw Kolby Allard from their Triple-A affiliate in Columbus, per the transaction log at MiLB.com. It’s the second time Cleveland has released Allard this season. He opted out of a minor league deal back in mid-May and was granted his release, though he re-signed not long after. Allard has been pitching […]
8:14pm: Seattle has officially announced all three moves: Arozarena’s retroactive IL placement, Washington’s selection, and Wilson’s transfer to the 60-day injured list.

According to the MLB.com injury tracker, he was recently pulled from a rehab assignment with continued pain and is weighing season-ending […]
The Astros announced Tuesday that right-hander Hunter Brown has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Catcher Yainer Diaz also returns from the 10-day IL, per the team. In a pair of corresponding moves, Houston optioned catcher Collin Price to Triple-A Sugar Land and designated right-hander Jayden Murray for assignment. Brown, the third-place finisher in […]
The Brewers announced that they have recalled infielder Cooper Pratt, a move that was reported a couple of days ago. In a corresponding move, infielder Luis Rengifo has been designated for assignment. Milwaukee took a bounceback flier on Rengifo in the offseason. He had a solid run with the Angels from 2022 to 2024, slashing […]
The Phillies have released right-hander Jackson Rutledge, per a team announcement. He was designated for assignment last week as a corresponding move when the Phils acquired outfielder Derek Hill from the White Sox. Rutledge, 27, was a waiver claim out of the Nationals organization last month. Washington selected him in the first round of the […]
The Mets are going to designate infielder Vidal Bruján for assignment, reports Chelsea Janes of SNY. That will likely be the corresponding move to open an active roster spot for infielder Zack Short, who was claimed off waivers yesterday. Bruján, 28, was acquired from the Twins in a January cash deal. He was designated for […]
The Braves have selected the contract of outfielder Brewer Hicklen, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. The 40-man roster had a vacancy after catcher Austin Wynns was outrighted yesterday. Hicklen has been optioned back to Triple-A Gwinnett and will not be immediately added to the active roster. It might seem odd to add a […]
The Yankees have released veteran first baseman/outfielder Seth Brown, per the transaction log at MiLB.com. He’d been playing with their Triple-A affiliate in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. MLBTR has learned that Brown had an opt-out in his contract, which he triggered. The team granted Brown his release rather than add him to the 40-man roster. The 33-year-old Brown […]
The Dodgers will designate infielder Santiago Espinal for assignment as the corresponding move for today’s activation of utilityman Tommy Edman, manager Dave Roberts told the team’s beat late last night (via Katie Woo of The Athletic). It’ll be Espinal’s second DFA of the past few weeks. The Dodgers signed him to a minor league contract […]
The Padres announced that outfielder Bryce Johnson has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A El Paso. Johnson has a previous outright and can elect free agency, though the team didn’t provide any indication he’ll do so. San Diego designated Johnson for assignment on Friday. The 30-year-old had held a bench spot for the entire season […]
The Braves have brought Carlos Carrasco and Maverick Handley back to the organization on minor league contracts, according to the MLB.com transaction log. Both players were dropped from the 40-man roster last week. Carrasco’s return felt inevitable, as he’s been on and off the roster all season. The only question was whether he’d sign a minor league […]
The Mariners announced that right-hander Domingo González has cleared waivers and been assigned outright to Triple-A Tacoma. Seattle also optioned infielder Patrick Wisdom on tonight’s day off, opening an active roster spot with at least Cal Raleigh coming back from injury tomorrow. They’d need to clear another roster spot if J.P. Crawford is also activated off […]
Tommy Edman will return to the Dodgers’ active roster tomorrow, manager Dave Roberts confirmed this evening (relayed by Katie Woo of The Athletic). L.A. will need to create space on the active and 40-man rosters to reinstate Edman from the 60-day injured list. The latter could be achieved by transferring Kiké Hernández to the 60-day IL, […]
The Angels announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Brett Kerry and recalled right-hander José Fermín from Triple-A Salt Lake. In corresponding moves, they have placed right-hander Grayson Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list with low back inflammation and designated left-hander Drew Pomeranz for assignment. Pomeranz, now 37, was once one of the […]
The Braves announced that catcher Drake Baldwin has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Fellow catcher Austin Wynns has been outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett. That opens an active roster spot for Baldwin and suggests the club put him on waivers a couple of days ago without initially removing him from the roster. The 40-man […]
The Mets announced that they have claimed infielder Zack Short off waivers from the Tigers. Detroit designated him for assignment last week. The Mets transferred infielder Jorge Polanco to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding 40-man move. Short is out of options and will also need an active roster spot when he reports to […]
The Royals have acquired right-hander Connor Seabold from the Blue Jays, according to announcements from both clubs.

Seattle will reportedly receive a minor leaguer and cash considerations […]
Hunter Brown will make his return to the Astros rotation tomorrow.

Brown has been out since April 2 with a Grade 2 shoulder strain. The injury came […]
The Brewers are calling shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt up to the major leagues, as confirmed by MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy.

Pratt will be making his […]
The Giants placed right-hander Keaton Winn on the 15-day injured list, with a retroactive placement date of June 11. Right-hander Tristan Beck was called up from Triple-A in the corresponding move.
