Chicago Cubs — News
Murray has no 2026 pitching stats available, making the true value of this swap difficult to assess. Sisneros, a Double-A prospect, represents a minor depth move for Houston as the Astros sit 36-41 with a -35 run differential.
Kelly (0.277 AVG, 0.32 xwOBA in 16 G) delivered one of his few impact performances; his output accounted for more than a third of Chicago's 16 runs in a blowout that carries minimal predictive weight against a 37-38 Blue Jays team already on a three-game win streak.
Nikhazy clears waivers unclaimed and loses his roster spot as Chicago manages depth behind a rotation anchored by Imanaga (4.26 ERA, 84 SO in 15 starts) and Rea (5.35 ERA). The Cubs are 39-36 and 5-5 over their last 10.
Ballesteros (age 23) loses his roster spot as Chicago manages depth behind an offense averaging 8.8 runs per game (344 RS in 75 G). Dean's recall provides outfield flexibility for a .500 team sitting 3rd in the NL Central at 39-36.
Palencia departs with a 2.70 ERA, leaving CHC's bullpen vulnerable as the team sits 38-35 with a +10 run differential. Hollowell (10.80 ERA in limited action) is a placeholder—the Cubs' relief depth will determine whether this becomes a rotation vulnerability down the stretch.
New York Mets — News
Bruján clears waivers unclaimed after posting a .091 AVG with a .213 xwOBA in limited action. The move provides roster flexibility for New York (34-41, -15 run differential) without meaningful impact to their depth chart.
Soto (.422 xwOBA, 17 HR in 58 G) continues carrying NYM's offense as the team sits 5-5 over their last 10 games. Boston's 2-8 L10 record at 12-25 home reflects deeper structural problems than one loss.
Soto now has 5 HRs against Nola (5.71 ERA, 1.48 WHIP in 2026), establishing a career mark against any pitcher. Nola's struggles this season (3-4, 0.321 xwOBA) suggest the Mets' recent hitting surge is targeting vulnerable arms.
Philadelphia cleared roster space by optioning Andrew Painter (5.28 ERA, 0.318 xwOBA) and Tanner Banks, while the rotation remains anchored by Sánchez (1.82 ERA, 8-3) but hampered by Nola's 5.86 ERA heading into tonight's Mets matchup.
Bruján exits with a .091 AVG and .214 xwOBA across minimal MLB action, clearing space for Zack Short (claimed off waivers yesterday with .286 xwOBA in limited Triple-A work). Neither move meaningfully impacts NYM's -23 run differential or 32-40 record.
