Blue Jays Select Luis Urías From Diamondbacks
Urías arrives with a .158 AVG and .306 xwOBA across limited action, offering Toronto bench depth at third base. Piñango's demotion clears the 40-man roster for a team sitting 38-39 with a -25 run differential.
5/10
Reds Designate Chris Paddack For Assignment
Paddack's 6.96 ERA and 0-4 record across 4 starts clears roster space for Pierce Johnson's return from IL and Julian Garcia's promotion. Cincinnati's rotation remains anchored by Abbott (3.83 ERA) with Singer (5.32 ERA) as the only other established starter, leaving depth concerns for a 37-39 team.
4/10
Angels Outright Trey Mancini to Triple-A
Mancini clears waivers unclaimed after DFA with service time to reject the assignment. The 34-year-old appeared in limited action (.333 AVG, .303 xwOBA) as LAA sits 32-47 with a -36 run differential.
3/10
Edgar Quero optioned to Triple-A Charlotte
Quero has no 2026 MLB stats, indicating he hasn't appeared in games yet; the demotion clears roster space after Kyle Teel's recent activation from the 60-day IL.

White Sox Activate Kyle Teel From 60-Day IL
Teel returns after three months absent, but Chicago's catching situation remains unsettled with no 2026 stats available for either him or Edgar Quero to assess performance depth.
6/10
Sonny Gray open to no-trade clause discussion if Red Sox sell
Gray has pitched just 5 starts with a 3.12 ERA and 5.09 K/9, making him tradeable depth rather than a cornerstone piece. Boston's 31-44 record and -7 run differential suggest a real deadline sale is plausible, but Gray's limited innings (23.0 IP) and 1.96 BB/9 make him a mid-rotation lottery ticket for contenders, not a high-leverage acquisition.
3/10
Giants manager addresses Devers situation after ninth-inning pinch runner rejection
Devers is hitting .238/.303/.433 with 11 HR in 77 games—numbers suggesting offensive struggles rather than attitude issues. The one-run loss compounds SF's larger problem: the team is 31-46 with a -54 run differential and has lost three straight.
3/10
Blaze Alexander: Homers in three-hit effort
Alexander went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 12-1 victory, extending a strong performance (0.303 AVG, 0.353 xwOBA) in limited action.
5/10
Reds To Promote Julian Garcia For MLB Debut
Garcia, 31, will make his first appearance after years in the minors as Cincinnati manages a rotation where Singer (5.32 ERA) and Paddack (6.96 ERA) have struggled. The move requires a 40-man roster spot with the Reds sitting 36-39 and facing Milwaukee tonight.
5/10
Phillies designate Bryse Wilson for assignment; Backhus recalled
Wilson's departure removes a depth arm from Philadelphia's rotation as the team sits 41-35 with a -8 run differential. Backhus returns to a staff anchored by Sánchez (1.80 ERA, 9-3) but struggling behind him with Luzardo (4.20 ERA) and Nola (5.71 ERA) combining for 9-8 record.
5/10
Yankees reinstate Wells from IL; returns to 0-for-2 after cervical headaches
Wells' 0.166 AVG and 0.301 xwOBA through 16 games shows the cervical issue didn't create the offensive collapse—he was already hitting well below replacement level before the injury.
3/10
Braves Outright Sandy Leon
Leon clears waivers after Atlanta acquired Joey Bart (.256 xwOBA in limited action) from Pittsburgh. The veteran has service time to reject, but ATL's catching depth is now Bart and depth options behind Atlanta's +102 run differential club.
6/10
Teoscar Hernandez begins rehab assignment, eligible for late June return
Hernandez could rejoin a Dodgers lineup that's 49-28 with a +144 run differential but has gone 1-1 in his last two games. LAD's outfield depth will benefit from his return, though timing against Oakland (June 29) comes late in the month.
6/10
Pirates SP Jared Jones hit by line drive, exits after 3 innings
Jones' availability for upcoming starts is unclear after the right elbow injury; PIT's rotation is already thin with Keller posting a 5.25 ERA and Mlodzinski at 3.72 ERA. The Pirates are 38-39 and can't afford rotation depth losses heading into a weak NLC.
