Justin Wrobleski Developing As Dodgers Rotation Depth
No 2026 season stats available for Wrobleski to evaluate current performance. LAD rotation is anchored by Yamamoto (2.65 ERA, 7-5) and Ohtani (1.58 ERA, 3-2), leaving unclear where Wrobleski fits in the existing depth chart.

Mariners Outright Miles Mastrobuoni to Triple-A
Mastrobuoni clears waivers after DFA with a .217 AVG and .187 xwOBA across limited action, a routine depth move for Seattle (41-40, +8 run differential).
5/10
Ian Seymour: Dominant in bulk role
Seymour (4-1) delivered 6.2 scoreless innings with 7 K and 1 BB against KC Thursday. Without 2026 season stats in the database, his role and trajectory remain unclear, but the performance suggests he's earned consistent usage in a pitching role.

Mets Place Marcus Semien On Injured List
Semien was hitting .214/.316/.341 across 80 games, so his departure creates minimal offensive loss—but Mauricio arrives with a .219 AVG and .224 xwOBA, offering no upgrade. NYM rotation is already a weakness (Peralta 4.83 ERA, Peterson 6.09, Senga 10.08) heading into tonight's matchup with Chicago.
Top 35 Trade Candidates For The 2026 Deadline
Mid-to-late June clarity on contention odds will drive deadline activity after the All-Star Break, but the article provides no specific candidate list or analysis.

Athletics Place Zack Gelof On Injured List
Gelof was hitting .282/.298/.498 before the right hand contusion, but the Athletics' lineup depth is thin with a -57 run differential and 3-7 record over their last 10 games. Alika Williams (.289 AVG, .218 OBP in limited action) takes his spot.

Rays Sign Jake Cave To Minor League Deal
Cave, 33, joins Triple-A Durham after playing in Mexico's league—a depth move for Tampa Bay (44-33, +2 run differential) seeking outfield options without impacting the active roster.
5/10
D-backs To Activate Max Kepler After PED Suspension
Kepler, 33, completes an 80-game suspension and will join Arizona after a minor league rehab stint. The outfielder adds depth to a division leader (47-33) but represents a mid-season acquisition rather than a rotation or lineup cornerstone.

Pfaadt makes start for Arizona on Friday
Pfaadt (5.92 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 0.352 xwOBA in 3 starts) faces Tampa Bay's well-rested rotation led by Rasmussen (2.62 ERA, 89 SO) and Martinez (2.73 ERA).
6/10
Cubs acquire Peterson from Mets, designate Zulueta
Peterson carries a 6.09 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 5 starts—exactly the innings-eater depth Chicago needed after losing Cabrera to IL. Cubs rotation now features Imanaga (4.40 ERA) and Rea (4.99 ERA) anchoring a unit that has won 7 of its last 10 games.
3/10
Cubs Outright Luis Peralta to Triple-A Iowa
Peralta clears waivers unclaimed, a routine transaction for a depth arm without prior outright eligibility. Chicago's rotation remains anchored by Imanaga (4.40 ERA), Rea (4.99 ERA), and Cabrera (5.10 ERA)—no change to near-term pitching plans.
5/10
Swanson powers past Mets; Betts reaches milestone
Swanson is hitting .202/.294/.385 with a .294 xwOBA through 76 games—numbers that don't suggest dominance, but the Mets' -46 run differential and last-place NL East position (34-46) means any offensive success compounds their depth issues.
6/10
Spencer Horwitz placed on 10-day IL with hamstring strain
Horwitz was hitting .280/.339/.455 with 10 HR across 74 games, so Pittsburgh loses its most productive hitter at first base heading into tonight's matchup against Seattle. The Pirates sit 40-40 with a +23 run differential and need offensive production they can't easily replace from the bench.
6/10
Mets Trade David Peterson To Cubs
Peterson arrives with a 6.09 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 5 starts, addressing Chicago's rotation need (4.26-5.10 ERA across starters) as the Cubs sit 3rd in NLC at 41-37. New York sheds a struggling arm while further decimating its pitching depth behind Peralta.
