  • Cut loose by Astros
    The Astros released Abreu on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Abreu was in the second year of a three-year, $58.5 million contract with Houston but will hit the open market after a dreadful start to the 2024 season. In 120 big-league plate appearances, Abreu posted a .362 OPS with a career-worst 23.3 percent K rate and a 3.4 percent walk rate. Amid his struggles, Abreu spent nearly a month in the minors, beginning at the Astros' FCL affiliate before being brought up to Triple-A Sugar Land, where he went hitless in seven at-bats. Although the 37-year-old didn't show much to indicate improvements are coming, he's still just three years removed from a 30-homer season and is a former AL MVP, making him an intriguing project as a free agent.

  • Reds recall OF Nick Martini from Triple-A
    Reds recalled OF Nick Martini from Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Martini has gone back and forth between Louisville and Cincinnati this season. In his time with the Reds, he’s hit .200 with four home runs in 110 at-bats. Martini will once again have a bench role with the Reds. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
     
  • Mariners option RHP Emerson Hancock to Triple-A
    Mariners optioned RHP Emerson Hancock to Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: Hancock allowed two runs in seven innings against the White Sox on Thursday night, but it appears to have just been a spot start. He’ll return to Triple-A and it seems like he’ll need an injury to one of Seattle’s starters to crack the rotation this year. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • 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.

Anderson had a 2.45 ERA in two starts with Triple-A Jacksonville. He’s the scheduled starter for the Marlins on Friday against the Nationals.
