  • 55-39-6 2nd Place
    • Becomes free agent
      The Red Sox released Cooper on Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Cooper cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and is now free to sign on with a new organization. The 33-year-old has slashed just .206/.267/.299 between the Cubs and Red Sox this season, but with a career .265/.333/.427batting line he should draw some interest in free agency.

    • Blue Jays DFA Vogelbach
      Blue Jays designated 1B Daniel Vogelbach for assignment.

      Advice: Vogelbach had struggled mightily with Toronto this year. He hit .186 with one home run in 70 at-bats. The club now has seven days to trade him or place him on waivers. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
       
    • Giants activate SS Nick Ahmed from 10-day IL
      Giants activated SS Nick Ahmed from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Ahmed had been on the injured list with a wrist injury since May 10th. He’s hitting .236 with no home runs in 110 at-bats with the Giants this year. Ahmed will share playing time with Brett Wisely at shortstop going forward. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
       
    • Rejoining big club
      The Blue Jays recalled Barger from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

      Advice: The 24-year-old went 1-for-18 during a brief stint with the Blue Jays earlier this season, and he'll rejoin the MLB roster after he posted a .218/.344/.391 slash line in 31 games since being returned to Buffalo in early May. Barger doesn't have a clear path to an everyday role despite being one of the organization's top prospects, but he's still likely to see at least semi-regular playing time while up with Toronto.

    • Designated for assignment
      The Blue Jays designated Vogelbach for assignment Friday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Vogelbach had been hitless over his last five games to drop his season line to just .186/.278/.300 across 79 plate appearances. The 31-year-old has an above-average 106 OPS+ for his career, but his lack of versatility will limit his appeal on the open market, assuming he clears waivers and becomes a free agent.

    • Back in majors
      The Reds recalled Martini from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

      Advice: He's taking the roster spot vacated by Blake Dunn, who was optioned to Louisville on Thursday. Martini has slashed .200/.242/.355 with four home runs in 38 games with the big club this season. He could see the occasional start against righties but mostly figures to operate as a bench bat.

    • Returns from injured list
      The Giants reinstated Ahmed (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Areareports.

      Advice: Ahmed has been sidelined just over a month by a sprained left wrist but is ready to rejoin the Giants after three rehab appearances in the minors. He was operating as San Francisco's primary shortstop prior to the injury and has a .236/.274/.291 slash line through 36 games this season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:48 am
       
    • Optioned to Triple-A
      The Giants optioned Schmitt to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Schmitt saw some action at shortstop after Nick Ahmed (wrist) went down, but Brett Wisely had overtaken him recently and now Ahmed is back in the fold. The 25-year-old Schmitt has produced just a .586 OPS in 102 games so far at the big-league level. Rotowire.com Today, 9:43 am

    • Activated and optioned
      The Giants activated Luciano (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Luciano has put his hamstring injury in the rearview mirror, but he will remain at Sacramento where he had been on a rehab assignment rather than return to the majors. Nick Ahmed (wrist) is also back from the IL and will take over as the Giants' shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 9:40 am
