3/10
Oliva posted a .143 AVG in limited action before the 60-day IL stint, though his xBA of .322 suggests better contact was possible. The move opens a roster spot for SF, which sits 31-44 and -50 in run differential.
3/10
Moore returns to professional baseball after missing the 2025 season on a minor league deal with Kansas City, which is 32-45 with a -42 run differential and searching for depth in its rotation.
3/10
Oakland's comeback came against LAA, who sit 30-47 with a -45 run differential and losing streak. Schlittler lacks 2026 stats, limiting assessment of his impact on a pitching market with several proven arms available.
5/10
Pittsburgh sits 38-38 and 2 games out of a wild card spot, but trading youth signals a shift from full rebuild after a decade without playoffs. Keller (5-4, 5.25 ERA) remains their best rotation option as they face a Rockies team that's -89 in run differential this season.
7/10
Soroka (8-3, 3.07 ERA, 79 SO in 82 IP) had been Arizona's most reliable starter heading into a buyer's market at the deadline; losing him even temporarily threatens rotation depth as the D-backs pursue upgrades. The timing is brutal with Bradley (MIN, 4.14 ERA, 5-1) starting tonight against Gallen.
3/10
Ohtani (1.47 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, 50 SO in 7 GS) missed one game but won't land on paternity list, keeping him available for tonight's start against BAL. LAD rotation remains intact with Yamamoto (2.52 ERA, 80 SO) also scheduled, positioning the division leader to maintain its +145 run differential.
3/10
Kelly (0.277 AVG, 0.32 xwOBA in 16 G) delivered one of his few impact performances; his output accounted for more than a third of Chicago's 16 runs in a blowout that carries minimal predictive weight against a 37-38 Blue Jays team already on a three-game win streak.
6/10
Pérez (4.60 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 10.34 K/9) completed a rehab start at Triple-A, potentially bolstering a rotation currently anchored by Meyer (2.75 ERA, 7-0) and Alcantara (4.18 ERA). Miami is 7-3 over their last 10 games but only 14-22 on the road, where depth behind the two starters has been tested.
4/10
Estrada returns with roster spots freed by recent designations, but Toronto's rotation remains anchored by Cease (2.71 ERA, 110 SO) and Gausman (3.41 ERA) while Woods Richardson continues to struggle at 6.75 ERA over 8 starts.
6/10
Boston's starting second baseman exits Friday's matchup against Seattle with forearm inflammation. The Red Sox are 2-8 over their last 10 and will face Hancock (3.28 ERA, 92 SO) without their primary middle infielder.
3/10
Otañez clears waivers after Texas designated him for assignment to make room for Joe Ross, who posted a 10.80 ERA in limited Triple-A action. Texas sits 35-39 with a -12 run differential and no immediate need for bullpen depth.
3/10
Knizner becomes available as a free agent after his release from Colorado, which is 28-47 and -90 in run differential with no clear catcher depth behind him on the roster.
3/10
Wilson arrives with a .297 xwOBA but has yet to appear in an MLB game, while Mastrobuoni departs after posting a .187 xwOBA in limited action. This is a depth swap for a Mariners team sitting 39-37 with their rotation intact.
4/10
Nikhazy clears waivers unclaimed and loses his roster spot as Chicago manages depth behind a rotation anchored by Imanaga (4.26 ERA, 84 SO in 15 starts) and Rea (5.35 ERA). The Cubs are 39-36 and 5-5 over their last 10.
5/10
Kelenic arrives with a .433 OBP and .342 xBA but zero MLB plate appearances; Smith departs hitting .218/.284/.248 with a .284 xwOBA across 31 games, clearing depth as Texas sits 35-39 with a -12 run differential.
