Angels Sign Rob Kaminsky To Minor League Deal
LAA's bullpen depth addition carries minimal immediate impact for a 15-25 club already -29 in run differential. Kaminsky will compete for relief innings in a system currently yielding 5.47 runs per game.
3/10
Ryan Walker optioned to Triple-A Sacramento
Walker posted a 6.46 ERA in limited relief work for SF, which sits 15-24 with a -49 run differential. The move reflects San Francisco's bullpen struggles rather than loss of a core arm.

Giants Notes: Bader, Schmitt, Hentges
Bader (.115 AVG, .261 xwOBA in 15 games) remains a black hole at the top of the order, while Schmitt (.529 SLG, 6 HR) provides the only consistent offensive production. SF's pitching is worse—Mahle (5.00 ERA, 0.34 xwOBA) and Houser (6.19 ERA) start games in a rotation where only Roupp (3.09 ERA) approaches league average.

Orioles Designate Lou Trivino For Assignment, Recall Jose Espada
Espada (0.34 xwOBA in limited action) enters a Baltimore bullpen that's allowing 4.39 runs per game—second-worst in AL East. With Trivino out, the Orioles' depth relief takes another hit as they sit 2-8 over their last 10.

Yankees Reinstate Carlos Rodón From Injured List
Rodón returns to a rotation anchored by Fried (2.92 ERA, 0.95 WHIP) as NYY sits 26-14 and faces MIL today. His availability addresses depth concerns after Luis Gil's recent shoulder shutdown, though no 2026 stats are available to assess current form.

Mets Sign Xzavion Curry To Minor League Deal
Curry joins a Mets rotation where David Peterson (6.29 ERA, 0.342 xwOBA) and the overall staff (RA: 163 in 38 games) are allowing runs at a league-worst pace. This is organizational depth for Triple-A, not a rotation fix.

Holliday Working Third Base During Rehab Assignment
The 22-year-old is testing positional versatility at Double-A while recovering from a hamate fracture, though no 2026 MLB stats are available to assess his readiness timeline for Baltimore's infield.

Woodruff nearing return; progressing through shoulder rehab
Milwaukee's ace (3.60 ERA, 25 SO in 30 IP) is moving toward game action after fluid removal, arriving as the Brewers face NYY's Fried (2.92 ERA, 0.95 WHIP) in tonight's matchup. MIL sits 3rd in NL Central at 20-16 and will need Woodruff's full effectiveness to compete with division-leading rotation depth.

Mariners To Reinstate Bryce Miller, Adjust To Six-Man Rotation
Miller's return adds depth to a Seattle rotation currently anchored by Kirby (2.94 ERA, 0.267 xwOBA) and Hancock (3.21 ERA, 0.314 xwOBA), though Gilbert (4.29 ERA) and Woo (4.02 ERA) have struggled. The six-man cadence helps manage workload while SEA sits 19-20 with a +8 run differential against Houston's struggling 16-23 team with a -27 differential.
7/10
Giants Place Logan Webb On IL, Recall Trevor McDonald
Webb's 5.06 ERA and 0.336 xwOBA already marked him as SF's weakest starter in a rotation anchored by Ray (2.76 ERA, 0.323 xwOBA); the Giants drop to 15-23 (-39 run differential) with their ace sidelined. Roupp (3.18 ERA, 5-2) and Ray will carry the load while McDonald returns from Triple-A with no 2026 season stats available.
4/10
Barger activated from IL; Pinango optioned to Triple-A
Barger has no 2026 batting stats available, limiting assessment of his impact on a Blue Jays team sitting 17-21 with a -20 run differential and -7 in their last 10 games on the road.
3/10
Martinez's start postponed due to weather
Game rescheduled, but no impact on Martinez's availability—his 1.71 ERA and 3-1 record remain intact for a future start against Boston's struggling rotation (Suarez 2.77 ERA, but Red Sox offense ranks 27th in run differential at -9).

Hall of Fame Atlanta Braves Manager Bobby Cox Dies at 84
Cox managed Atlanta for 29 seasons and won 2,149 games, though he has no direct impact on the current 26-13 Braves roster or their NL East-leading position.
5/10
Dodgers Claim Charlie Barnes Off Waivers
Barnes carries a 9.00 ERA with a 0.393 xwOBA in limited 2026 action—depth relief unlikely to move the needle for LAD's rotation. Edman's move to the 60-day IL suggests a more serious injury timeline than typical roster churn.
