San Diego Padres — News
Padres Outright Bryce Johnson to Triple-A
Johnson clears waivers after hitting .178/.173/.222 in limited MLB action this season. San Diego (37-33, -10 run diff) opens roster flexibility with the move but loses minimal offensive production.
Padres Select Blake Hunt, Designate Ty Adcock For Assignment
Hunt replaces Fermin (0.148 AVG, 0.266 xwOBA in limited action) on the roster after a concussion. SD's catching depth shifts as the team sits 36-33 with a -13 run differential.
Padres Place Andujar On 10-Day IL, Select Solak
Andujar exits with a .254 AVG and .285 xwOBA across 50 games, so San Diego loses minimal offensive production. Solak's arrival provides depth as the Padres sit 35-33 with a -19 run differential and face Baltimore's rotation tonight with Vásquez (3.63 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) on the mound.
Padres Designate Bryce Johnson For Assignment
Johnson departs with a .178 AVG and .173 xwOBA across limited action. Bogaerts returns from paternity leave with a .231 AVG and 8 HR through 63 games, stabilizing the shortstop position as San Diego sits 35-32 in a tight NL West race.
Cincinnati Reds — News
Reds Select Will Banfield, Outright P.J. Higgins
Higgins (.156 xwOBA in limited action) clears the 40-man roster as Cincinnati reorganizes depth at catcher. Cincinnati sits 35-38 with a -52 run differential and rotation concerns (Singer 5.32 ERA, Paddack 6.96 ERA).
Reds' minor acquisitions stabilizing below-average offense
Cincinnati (34-37, -46 run diff) is on pace for a 16th consecutive season of below-average wRC+, but roster depth moves have prevented complete collapse. The rotation remains a limiting factor with Singer at 5.61 ERA and Paddack at 7.21 ERA in limited starts.
Reds Notes: Greene, Johnson, Pagán, Trevino, Haggerty
Cincinnati sits 33-36 with a -56 run differential, last in the NL Central after going 3-7 in their last 10 games. The rotation's anchor Abbott carries a 4.10 ERA while Singer (5.61 ERA) and Paddack (7.17 ERA, 0-4) have provided no depth.
D-Backs Activate Jordan Lawlar From 60-Day IL
Lawlar returns with limited 2026 data (0 G, .333 AVG in small sample), making his impact uncertain against Cincinnati's weak pitching staff (4.10-5.61 ERA starters). Arizona gets a potential lineup boost heading into a series against a Reds team allowing 340 runs (2.0 more per game than league average).
Hunter Greene (RHP, CIN) targeting July return after elbow surgery
Greene's delayed timeline leaves Cincinnati dependent on Abbott (4.06 ERA), Singer (6.18 ERA), and Paddack (6.90 ERA) as the Reds sit 31-31 with a -48 run differential and struggle to stay competitive in the NL Central.
