5/10
Krook's 17.18 ERA and 9.82 BB/9 across 3.2 IP made the move unavoidable; Leiter Jr. (4.85 ERA, 31 SO in 29.2 IP) provides Oakland bullpen depth as the team sits 3-7 in its last 10.
5/10
Cincinnati's -55 run differential masks a rotation anchored by Chase Burns (2.40 ERA, 10-1), whose elite performance cannot offset a collapsed offense (364 runs scored, 5th-worst in NL). The Reds' 3-7 L10 despite Burns' dominance signals sellers will struggle to move mid-tier pieces without deadline acquisitions on the offensive side.
6/10
Helsley exits with a 4.11 ERA and 12.33 K/9 across 17 relief appearances; the loss leaves Baltimore's bullpen without a high-strikeout arm. Anthony Nunez (4.98 ERA, 9.96 K/9) enters as replacement depth for a 40-48 team already sitting fourth in AL East.
5/10
Javier returns with a 12.54 ERA and 2.36 WHIP across 3 starts (9.1 IP), posting an 8.68 BB/9 that signals control issues remain unresolved. Houston's rotation depth improves nominally, but Javier's 0.405 xwOBA suggests batters are timing him consistently.
7/10
Rodón exits with a 3.30 ERA and 10.10 K/9 through 9 starts, leaving NYY's rotation without depth as the team enters a L7 streak sitting 2-8 in their last 10. Cole (4.06 ERA, 2-3) and Weathers (4.08 ERA, 3-6) become the primary options behind Schlittler until Rodón returns.
3/10
Bowman's departure would have minimal roster impact for Toronto, whose bullpen is anchored by Varland (0.98 ERA, 64 SO in 41 games) and Rogers (1.81 ERA). The 41-46 Jays have depth pieces available if needed, though this signals they're not committed to the 35-year-old at this stage of the season.
3/10
Hernández clears waivers after posting an 8.15 ERA with a 1.75 WHIP across 12 relief appearances, surrendering walks at a 6.11 BB/9 rate. LAD's bullpen remains anchored by Scott (2.08 ERA, 42 SO in 37 G) and Henriquez (2.67 ERA, 34 SO in 32 G).
3/10
Reyes clears roster space for a team sitting at .500 with a -41 run differential and L6 streak. The move suggests San Diego is prioritizing depth elsewhere rather than retaining veteran infield depth.
5/10
Pomeranz arrives with a 5.01 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 25 games for LAA, replacing Jordan Wicks (10.45 ERA in 4 games) in the bullpen as Chicago sits 9-1 in their last 10.
3/10
LAD improved to 57-31 with a comeback win over SD (43-43, L6), while TB extended their streak to 8-0 atop the AL East at 51-33 with an 8-2 L10 clip. CLE (46-42) walked it off to improve to 2-0 streak despite a -7 run differential.
3/10
McCutchen arrives with a .192 AVG and .237 xwOBA after Texas DFA'd him in late May, offering Atlanta depth on a rebuilding deal rather than a lineup upgrade.
5/10
Rushing is hitting .240/.337/.473 with a .337 xwOBA this season—above-average offensive production for a catcher, though communication issues with Ohtani (1.58 ERA, 0.257 xwOBA) remain a concern entering tonight's matchup against King (3.55 ERA, 83 SO).
5/10
Hamilton exits with a 7.71 ERA and 5.79 BB/9 across 4.2 IP, clearing bullpen space for Molina (5.40 ERA in limited action) as Atlanta makes room for Young's return from the 60-day IL.
3/10
Pilkington returns to Washington's organization at Triple-A Rochester as depth behind a rotation where Griffin (2.93 ERA) and Alvarez (3.05 ERA) anchor the healthy arms. Gott's release clears a bullpen slot as Washington sits 4th in NL East at 45-43.
3/10
Harris (.233 AVG, .334 xwOBA in 17 games with HOU) becomes a free agent after Chicago declined to add him to the MLB roster, a minor move for a depth outfielder with below-average production.
