Miami Marlins — News
Marlins Outright Christopher Morel to Triple-A
Morel clears waivers after hitting .162/.220/.206 with a .187 xBA across limited action, freeing roster space as Miami (42-39, +3 run diff) activates Conine from hamstring surgery.
Marlins Option Connor Norby
Norby has no recorded 2026 batting stats, indicating minimal major league action before optional assignment. Miami sits 42-39 with a +3 run differential and strong 7-3 stretch in their last 10 games.
Eury Pérez activated after accelerated recovery from hamstring strain
Pérez returns in under a month despite an eight-week projection, taking the mound today against Texas. The Marlins (41-39, +1 run diff) pair him against deGrom (3.59 ERA, 0.296 xwOBA), making this a significant roster reset after Pérez's IL stint.
Giants manager addresses Devers situation after ninth-inning pinch runner rejection
Devers is hitting .238/.303/.433 with 11 HR in 77 games—numbers suggesting offensive struggles rather than attitude issues. The one-run loss compounds SF's larger problem: the team is 31-46 with a -54 run differential and has lost three straight.
St. Louis Cardinals — News
Eury Pérez activated after accelerated recovery from hamstring strain
Pérez returns in under a month despite an eight-week projection, taking the mound today against Texas. The Marlins (41-39, +1 run diff) pair him against deGrom (3.59 ERA, 0.296 xwOBA), making this a significant roster reset after Pérez's IL stint.
Cardinals Trade Chris Roycroft To Rays
Roycroft has no 2026 MLB stats, indicating he hasn't pitched in the majors this season; the deal clears roster space for St. Louis, which sits 42-34 with a +5 run differential.
Diamondbacks Recall Mitch Bratt For MLB Debut
Bratt has no 2026 MLB stats, indicating he hasn't pitched in the majors yet. Arizona will activate him for Wednesday's game against STL, where Kyle Leahy (4.63 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 0.375 xwOBA) starts for the Cardinals.
Dustin May Posts Perfect-Through-6 Shutout vs. Cardinals
May's 1-hit, 1-walk performance with 9 SO on 101 pitches is his strongest outing of the season—his 3.75 ERA and 8.27 K/9 have made him a swing starter, but this display strengthens his free-agent case heading into the deadline.
Cardinals Select Max Rajcic, Option Chris Roycroft
Rajcic enters a rotation where Liberatore (4.71 ERA, 1.50 WHIP) and Leahy (4.63 ERA, 1.55 WHIP) are bleeding runs; STL sits +11 in run differential despite middle-of-rotation weakness. No 2026 stats available for Rajcic, making this a depth move with limited immediate impact.
