  • 43-41-6 5th Place
    • Expected to join Toronto
      Horwitz is expected to join the Blue Jays in Oakland on Friday prior to the beginning of their series versus the Athletics, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

      Advice: He will presumably be added to the roster, although it's unclear what the corresponding transaction will be. Horwitz has been on fire of late at Triple-A Buffalo, going 16-for-36 with a pair of home runs. He's also played mostly second base over that stretch, and that could be a path to playing time for him with the big club if the Jays would prefer to use Davis Schneider more in left field.

    • Swipes bag Thursday
      Vargas went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base and a run in Thursday's 11-7 victory versus Pittsburgh.

      Advice: Vargas started in left field and batted eighth in the order. He hit safely in his fourth straight game with a fourth-inning double and also stole a base and scored after reaching on a fielder's choice in the fifth. Vargas has held his own with a .250/.318/.550 slash line, one homer, three doubles, three RBI, five runs and a steal over 22 plate appearances this season. He's currently on the short side of a platoon with Jason Heyward -- Vargas has started each of Los Angeles' past three games against a left-handed starter while sitting out the team's past four contests against a right-hander.

    • Rays activate INF Walls from 60-day IL
      Rays activated INF Taylor Walls from the 60-day injured list.

      Advice: Tampa Bay designated Harold Ramirez for assignment to make room for Walls, who has been on the injured list all season as he recovered from offseason hip surgery. Walls figures to come off the bench for the Rays and see most of his playing time against left-handed pitching. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago

    • Rays designate OF Ramirez for assignment
      Rays designate OF Harold Ramirez for assignment.

      Advice: Ramirez was DFA’d to make room for INF Taylor Walls, who is being activated from the injured list. He hit .268 with one home run and 13 RBI in 164 at-bats with Tampa Bay this year. The Rays have seven days to trade Ramirez or place him on waivers. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
       
    • Activated from 60-day IL
      The Rays activated Walls (hip) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

      Advice: Walls has been out all season following offseason hip surgery and had to be shut down for a while at one point due to inflammation in the hip. However, he recently got back up to speed in a five-game rehab stint with Triple-A Durham, going 8-for-21 at the plate. Walls could take some playing time away from Jose Caballero at shortstop but mostly likely will operate primarily in a utility role. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

    • DFA'd by Tampa Bay
      The Rays designated Ramirez for assignment on Friday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

      Advice: The 29-year-old began the season as Tampa Bay's primary designated hitter, though he recently had been relegated to the small side of a platoon. Ramirez has never offered much power but hit .306 in 242 games over the previous two seasons, and through 169 plate appearances in 2024 he's batting .268 with just four extra-base hits and a 1.8 percent walk rate. He could garner some interest on the waiver wire. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
       
    • Homers in three-hit game Thursday
      Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and three total runs scored in an 11-7 victory versus the Pirates on Thursday.

      Advice: Hernandez broke a 4-4 tie with a solo blast in the fifth inning, and Los Angeles never trailed again. The long ball snapped a 10-game stretch without a homer for the veteran outfielder, and after a hot start to the season, he's gone deep just twice over his past 23 contests. However, Hernandez still ranks second on the Dodgers with 13 homers and 39 RBI overall. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
       
    • Slugs homer Thursday
      Freeman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 11-7 win over Pittsburgh.

      Advice: Freeman helped Los Angeles' offense get off to a fast start with his three-run blast in the first inning. The long ball extended his modest hitting streak to five games, during which he has slashed .389/.455/.889 with two homers, five RBI, five runs and two steals. Freeman has four home runs over his past 15 contests, matching the amount of homers he hit across his initial 49 games of the campaign. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
       
    • Phillies acquire Kennedy, option him to Triple-A
      Phillies acquired INF Buddy Kennedy from the Tigers for cash considerations.

      Advice: Kennedy was traded one day after clearing waivers and being sent outright to Triple-A. Now he’ll be in Triple-A Lehigh Valley with the Phillies organization. Kennedy will serve as infield depth and take the recently suspended Jose Rodriguez’ spot on the 40-man roster. Rotoworld Today, 9:11 am
