St. Louis Cardinals — News
Cardinals Move Dobbins to Rotation, Shift to Six-Man Approach
Dobbins transitions from bulk relief to traditional starter role after one week as a recall. STL's rotation ERA ranges 3.96–4.59, so Dobbins' addition provides depth as the team sits 2nd in NLC at 34-28 with a -4 run differential.
Cardinals Activate Nootbaar From 60-Day IL
St. Louis returns a bat to lineup depth after extended absence, though the move comes as the team sits 31-28 and 3-7 over their last 10 games. Nootbaar's return addresses roster flexibility without addressing the rotation's struggles—five starters combining for a 4.27 ERA with xwOBA values ranging from 0.311 to 0.383.
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.
Minnesota Twins — News
Tigers Claim James Outman Off Waivers From Twins
Outman arrives with a .156 AVG and 0.196 xwOBA through minimal action, offering depth to a Detroit team sitting 28-40 with a -20 run differential. The move required shifting Javier Baez to the 60-day IL to clear 40-man roster space.
D-Backs Trade Reliever Taylor Rashi To Twins
Arizona clears a roster spot after designating Rashi last week; Minnesota receives a depth arm with no current season stats to address a 3-7 record over their last 10 games.
Twins Recall Royce Lewis, Designate James Outman
Lewis returns after slashing .367/.446/.939 with 8 HR in Triple-A, but his MLB numbers remain dire at .163/.283/.279 across 12 games. Minnesota (30-35, -24 run diff) is banking on Triple-A production translating despite zero evidence at the majors level.
Twins Shift Lewis to Multiple Infield Positions in Triple-A
Lewis is slashing .367/.446/.939 with 8 HR in Triple-A since his demotion, but his major league season (0.163 AVG, 0.283 xwOBA in 12 G) shows zero carryover. The positional experimentation suggests Minnesota sees him as a utility depth piece rather than a solution to the 29-35 roster's -26 run differential.
Twins Sign Austin Voth To Minor League Deal
Voth (9.00 ERA in limited action) joins Minnesota's Triple-A affiliate after Toronto outrighted him, adding depth to a rotation anchored by Ryan (3.20 ERA) and Bradley (3.56 ERA) as the Twins sit 29-34 with a -24 run differential.
