Cincinnati Reds — News
Yunior Marté Elects Free Agency After Reds DFA
Marté's departure removes minor depth from Cincinnati's bullpen as the Reds navigate a 5-4 record over their last 10 games with a rotation already leaning on Abbott (4.02 ERA) while Singer (6.18 ERA) and Paddack (6.90 ERA) continue to struggle.
Reds Option Friedl, Recall Marté
Friedl exits after hitting .181/.252/.258 with a .252 xwOBA across 46 games, clearing space for Marté in Cincinnati's outfield as the Reds sit 31-29 with a -38 run differential.
Reds Designate Leibrandt, Richardson; Recall McCambley, Mey
Cincinnati (30-29, -39 run diff) clears rotation depth as Singer (6.18 ERA) and Paddack (6.90 ERA) continue to struggle; McCambley and Mey arrive with no 2026 track record, suggesting organizational desperation in a rotation averaging 5.70 ERA across five starters.
Reds place De La Cruz on IL with hamstring strain; Arroyo debuts at SS
Cincinnati loses its primary offensive engine (.362 xwOBA, 12 HR in 58 G) mid-stretch while the Reds sit 30-28 with a -32 run differential. Arroyo's debut fills the position but lacks 2026 MLB data, and the rotation remains thin with Singer (6.18 ERA) and Paddack (6.90 ERA) as backup arms.
St. Louis Cardinals — News
Cardinals Return Rule 5 Pick Matt Pushard To Marlins
Pushard never threw an inning for St. Louis (27.00 ERA in 0 IP), landing on IL almost immediately after the Rule 5 selection. The move has minimal rotation impact for either team given Miami's current 5-man group anchored by Meyer (2.97 ERA, 74 SO).
Rangers Place Chris Martin On IL With Shoulder Impingement
Texas loses bullpen depth mid-stretch while sitting 28-31 with a +7 run differential. The recall of Curvelo (no 2026 stats) and debut of Ahlstrom provide options, but neither has established MLB track record against a Cardinals lineup facing deGrom tonight.
Cardinals Designate Matt Pushard, Recall Hunter Dobbins
Pushard appeared in zero games for STL before the move, making this a straightforward 40-man roster decision. Dobbins enters a rotation where Liberatore (4.76 ERA, 1.57 WHIP) and Leahy (4.25 ERA, 1.55 WHIP) are both above 4.25 ERA.
Jimmy Crooks set for steady playing time at catcher
Crooks has no 2026 stats available to assess offensive production, making this a depth move for STL rather than an upgrade—the Cardinals are -10 in run differential while sitting 3rd in NLC with a L4 streak.
Uribe Suspended One Game; Appeal Pending
Uribe (4.19 ERA) exits a Cardinals rotation already struggling—Pallante (3.76 ERA) is the only reliable starter among the four active starters, and STL sits 3rd in NL Central at 29-25 with a -10 run differential heading into tonight's matchup against Chicago.
