New York Mets — News
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.
Mets Sign Morel to Minor League Deal
Morel (.162 AVG, .220 xwOBA, 28 SO in 22 G) heads to Triple-A Syracuse after Miami released him; the infielder has been a non-contributor at the plate this season.
Marcus Semien To Miss Extended Time With Grade 3 Hip Flexor Strain
Semien (.214 AVG, .316 xwOBA in 80 G) was already struggling offensively, but his absence removes the Mets' primary shortstop as New York sits 35-49 with a -45 run differential. McLean (4.03 ERA, 106 SO) starts tonight against Toronto with Semien sidelined for what figures to be several weeks.
Mets Outright Zack Short to Syracuse
Short clears waivers with a .159 AVG and .261 xwOBA across 26 games, making room for Lindor's return despite Lindor's own struggles (.216 AVG, .332 xwOBA in 26 games). The move is organizational housekeeping for a 34-48 team already 7 games below .500 in the NL East.
Atlanta Braves — News
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.
Braves Moving López Back To Starting Rotation
López starts Friday after two months in the bullpen, returning to a role where he posted a 3.50 ERA with a 0.334 xwOBA across 4 early-season starts. Atlanta's rotation (2.14–3.71 ERA led by Sale) gets depth help as the team navigates a L3 streak despite sitting atop the NL East at 48-30.
Braves Designate Carrasco, Recall Kinley and Hamilton
Atlanta's rotation loses depth as Carrasco departs, but Kinley's return from injury and Hamilton's selection provide bullpen flexibility for a team that's 3-7 in its last 10 despite leading the NL East. The moves suggest the Braves are prioritizing relief help over rotational depth mid-season.
