Robert Stock (hamstring) moved to 60-day ILMets transferred RHP Robert Stock to the 60-day injured list.
Advice: The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Rich Hill. Stock not won't be eligible for activation until late September. NBCSportsEDGE.comRobert Stock NYM - SP,RPIL -
Rays get Tommy Hunter from MetsRays acquired RHP Tommy Hunter and C Matt Dyer from the Mets for LHP Rich Hill.
Advice: Hunter's inclusion in the deal was more about the club's balancing out the money side. He is not expected to return this season due to a back injury. NBCSportsEDGE.comTommy Hunter TB - RPIL -
Mets officially announce trade for Rich HillMets acquired LHP Rich Hill from the Rays for RHP Tommy Hunter and C Matt Dyer.
Advice: Hill's results and spin rate have gone down since the league began cracking down on grip enhancers. However, he's pitched well overall this season with a 3.87 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 91/36 K/BB ratio over 95 1/3 innings. He'll give the banged-up Mets rotation a boost. NBCSportsEDGE.comRich Hill NYM - SP -
John Hicks designated for assignmentRangers designated C John Hicks for assignment.
Advice: Hicks cranked four homers in 10 games, but he wasn't going to play much with Jose Trevino back and the Rangers wanted to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. NBCSportsEDGE.comJohn Hicks Tex - C,1B -
Rangers demote struggling Nick Solak to Triple-ARangers optioned INF Nick Solak to Triple-A Round Rock.
Advice: Solak had a great April but was batting just .196/.260/.277 since May 1. He should get another shot at regular playing time with the Rangers later this season, but for now he'll try to get his swing back in a less pressurized situation. Andy Ibanez could see the lion's share of starts at second base for now. NBCSportsEDGE.comNick Solak Tex - 2B,3B,OF -
Jose Trevino activated from injured listRangers activated C Jose Trevino from the 10-day injured list.
Advice: Trevino has been out all month with a bruised forearm. He'll share time at catcher with Jonah Heim. NBCSportsEDGE.comJose Trevino Tex - C -
Jose De Leon released by RedsReds released RHP Jose De Leon.
Advice: De Leon cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and is now free to look for a gig elsewhere. The 28-year-old posted an 8.35 ERA over 18 1/3 innings for the Reds but did strike out 33 batters. He'll get another shot somewhere. NBCSportsEDGE.comJosé De León Cin - RPNA -
Alejo Lopez recalled from Triple-AReds recalled INF Alejo Lopez from Triple-A Louisville.
Advice: Lopez went 5-for-17 during a brief stint with the Reds earlier this season. He'll provide infield depth. NBCSportsEDGE.comAlejo Lopez Cin - 2B,SSNA -
Vladimir Gutierrez recalled from Triple-AReds recalled RHP Vladimir Gutierrez from Triple-A Louisville.
Advice: Gutierrez was just sent down Tuesday but can return because he's replacing an injured player. It's not clear at this point whether he'll go back into the rotation or be used in relief. NBCSportsEDGE.comVladimir Gutierrez Cin - SPNA -
Amir Garrett goes on paternity leaveReds placed LHP Amir Garrett on the paternity leave list.
Advice: He'll probably miss the entire three-game series against the Cardinals. Garrett has had an up-and-down season for the Redlegs. NBCSportsEDGE.comAmir Garrett Cin - RPNA -
Nick Castellanos (wrist) placed on injured listReds placed OF Nick Castellanos on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 20, with a fractured right wrist.
Advice: The Reds were hoping a couple days of rest would be enough to allow Castellanos to avoid an IL stint, but it wasn't meant to be. He's dealing with a microfracture in his wrist, an injury he suffered a week ago on a hit by pitch. Aristides Aquino and Shogo Akiyama will see increased playing time while Castellanos is out. NBCSportsEDGE.comNick Castellanos Cin - OFIL -
Michael Taylor (wrist) not in Friday's lineupMichael Taylor (wrist) is not in the Royals' lineup Friday.
Advice: Taylor exited Wednesday's game with left wrist soreness and the off day Thursday wasn't enough to get him over the hump. Jarrod Dyson is in center field Friday. NBCSportsEDGE.comMichael A. Taylor KC - OFDTD -
Mariners have talked Adam Frazier deal with BucsKen Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Mariners are "actively pursuing controllable infielders, including Adam Frazier."
Advice: The Mariners are, somewhat surprisingly, in the playoff hunt and would also retain control of Frazier in 2022, as well. The 29-year-old will be a hot commodity on the trade market as he's in the midst of a career year with a .327/.390/.453 batting line. The White Sox are another club know to be interested in Frazier. NBCSportsEDGE.comAdam Frazier Pit - 2B,OF -
Mauricio Llovera optioned to Triple-APhillies optioned RHP Mauricio Llovera to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Advice: Llovera has allowed one run over three innings covering two appearances with the big club this season. It's the first year he's been used exclusively as a reliever. NBCSportsEDGE.comMauricio Llovera Phi - RP -
Alec Bohm activated from COVID-19 injured listPhillies activated 3B Alec Bohm from the COVID-19 injured list.
Advice: Bohm tested positive for the virus earlier this month but is now apparently recovered. Mauricio Llovera was sent down in a corresponding move. NBCSportsEDGE.comAlec Bohm Phi - 1B,3BNA -
Cubs claim Johneshwy Fargas off waiversCubs claimed OF Johneshwy Fargas off waivers from the Mets.
Advice: He's been assigned to Triple-A Iowa. Fargas injured his left shoulder back in late May and it's unclear when he'll be ready to play again. NBCSportsEDGE.comJohneshwy Fargas ChC - OFNA -
Kris Bryant (hamstring) back in lineup FridayKris Bryant (hamstring) is back in the Cubs' lineup Friday.
Advice: Bryant pinch-hit during Thursday's game and is now back in the lineup a day after after missing two starts with right hamstring fatigue. He's in left field and batting second against Zac Gallen and the Diamondbacks. NBCSportsEDGE.comKris Bryant ChC - 1B,3B,OF -
Report: NYY in recent talks with MIA about MarteBrendan Kuty of NJ.com reports that the Yankees had discussions as recently as late Thursday night with the Marlins regarding a trade for Starling Marte.
Advice: Kuty says that the Yanks have also talked to the Twins about Max Kepler and the Rockies about Trevor Story. Marte looks like a shoo-in to be traded sometime over the next week after contract extension talks with the Marlins broke down. He would fill a big need for the Yankees in center field, although there will be plenty of interest in him from other suitors, as well. Kepler is a fit, as well, although he's under team control cheaply for several years so the asking price for him has been "exorbitant," per Kuty. Story would allow the Yanks to move Gleyber Torres to second base. NBCSportsEDGE.comStarling Marte Mia - OF -
Brad Wieck to undergo ablation procedureCubs transferred LHP Brad Wieck to the 60-day injured list.
Advice: Wieck will undergo a cardiac ablation procedure, which is the same operation he had back in spring training of 2020. There is no timetable for his return, but it seems unlikely that the lefty will make it back this season. NBCSportsEDGE.comBrad Wieck ChC - RPIL -
Cubs designate Eric Sogard for assignmentCubs designated INF Eric Sogard for assignment.
Advice: Sogard has batted just .249/.283/.314 this season after inking a minor league deal with the Cubs during spring training. The 35-year-old might be able to land a bench job somewhere else. NBCSportsEDGE.comEric Sogard ChC - 2B,3B,OFNA
