St. Louis Cardinals — News
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.
Rajcic enters a rotation where Liberatore (4.71 ERA, 1.50 WHIP) and Leahy (4.63 ERA, 1.55 WHIP) are bleeding runs; STL sits +11 in run differential despite middle-of-rotation weakness. No 2026 stats available for Rajcic, making this a depth move with limited immediate impact.
Atlanta Braves — News
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.
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.
