Mets Release Adbert Alzolay
Alzolay becomes a free agent after time in Syracuse's Triple-A system. The Mets' 36-51 record and rotation anchored by McLean (3.78 ERA, 113 SO) suggests organizational depth isn't the issue.

New York Mets — News
Mets Select Jefry Yan to 40-Man Roster, Option to Syracuse
Yan fills one of New York's two 40-man vacancies. The move suggests contractual flexibility rather than immediate roster impact for a team sitting 36-51 with a -49 run differential.
Mets retain Stearns as GM; Green takes interim manager role
Green inherits a 36-50 team (-43 run differential) with a rotation anchored by McLean (3.78 ERA, 113 SO) and Peralta (4.53 ERA), but Senga's 9.09 ERA across 8 starts has crippled depth—continuity in the front office at least avoids compounding the instability.

Podcast episode covering organizational topics across three teams. No specific roster moves or performance data sufficient for actionable analysis.
Last Night In Baseball: Multiple milestones and comebacks across Monday's action
Cubs improved to 47-38 with their third straight win after a late rally, while Mets fell to 35-50 (1-9 in last 10) despite a pinch-hit homer in their loss.
Atlanta Braves — News
Braves lead NL East at 50-34 but recent form shows vulnerability
Atlanta's 3-7 L10 clip masks a +90 run differential that still ranks among league's best. Sale (2.10 ERA, 109 SO) anchors a rotation capable of contention, but the urgency to add pitching depth reflects the reality that only Sale and Iglesias (1.27 ERA) offer true reliability in October.
Braves Designate Rowdy Tellez For Assignment
Tellez departs after 7 games with a .506 xwOBA despite just .200 actual average—a small sample that doesn't warrant the roster spot. Jim Jarvis (0.177 xwOBA, 2 G) replaces him at short, a lateral move for Atlanta's 50-34 division-leading roster.
AJ Smith-Shawver: Making first rehab start Tuesday
Smith-Shawver begins his return assignment with Single-A Augusta, marking the first step in rehabilitation. The Braves rotation currently sits with Sale (2.10 ERA, 109 SO) and Pérez (3.00 ERA) as anchors, but Smith-Shawver's absence has forced reliance on Holmes (3.96 ERA) and Elder (4.01 ERA) as depth starters.
Braves Re-Sign Carlos Carrasco To Minor League Deal
Carrasco returns on a minor league pact after being outrighted to make roster room for Kinley (3.10 ERA, 32 SO) and Hamilton. The veteran righty posted a 3.68 ERA with a concerning 3.68 K/9 in 7 relief appearances, offering no depth upgrade over ATL's bullpen anchored by Dylan Lee (0.99 ERA, 42 SO).
Braves Place Robert Suarez On Injured List
Suarez's 0.56 ERA and 0.84 WHIP across 31 games vanish from Atlanta's setup role with forearm tightness, forcing Waldrep (no 2026 stats) into the bullpen for a 48-31 team on a four-game losing streak.
