St. Louis Cardinals — News
May's 4.30 ERA and 0.301 xwOBA rank below the rotation average despite eating $12MM+ of St. Louis's $18MM offseason payroll commitment. At 5-6 with a 1.20 WHIP, he's underperforming the youth movement narrative that justified the contract.
Pérez returns in under a month despite an eight-week projection, taking the mound today against Texas. The Marlins (41-39, +1 run diff) pair him against deGrom (3.59 ERA, 0.296 xwOBA), making this a significant roster reset after Pérez's IL stint.
Roycroft has no 2026 MLB stats, indicating he hasn't pitched in the majors this season; the deal clears roster space for St. Louis, which sits 42-34 with a +5 run differential.
Bratt has no 2026 MLB stats, indicating he hasn't pitched in the majors yet. Arizona will activate him for Wednesday's game against STL, where Kyle Leahy (4.63 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 0.375 xwOBA) starts for the Cardinals.
May's 1-hit, 1-walk performance with 9 SO on 101 pitches is his strongest outing of the season—his 3.75 ERA and 8.27 K/9 have made him a swing starter, but this display strengthens his free-agent case heading into the deadline.
Atlanta Braves — News
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
