  • BOS Left Fielder #30

    Red Sox exercised their $2.1 million club 2025 option for OF Rob Refsnyder.
    Refsnyder was a valuable bench option for the Red Sox in 2024. His primary role was against left-handed pitching where he hit .302 with eight home runs and 23 RBI in 126 at-bats; however, injuries forced him into more playing time overall, and the 33-year-old hit .283/.359/.471 in 93 games on the season with 11 home runs and 40 RBI. With the Red Sox having so many left-handed hitting outfielders, Refsnyder makes sense as a bench outfielder.
  • SD Catcher #12

    Padres optioned C Luis Campusano to Triple-A El Paso.
    Campusano was summoned for Sunday’s first-half finale with Gavin Sheets away from the club on paternity leave. The 26-year-old backstop has done some serious damage at the Triple-A level this season, but it hasn’t carried over into the big leagues during limited opportunities.
    Stowers 'found his groove' before All-Star Break
    Eric Samulski reacts to Kyle Stowers' explosive day for the Miami Marlins before the All-Star Break, going a perfect 5-5 at the plate with three home runs and six RBIs to add to his breakout season.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #22
    Jon Gray (wrist) allowed one run over three innings on Monday in a minor league rehab start in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League.
    Gray headed to Arizona after Sunday’s scheduled rehab outing for Triple-A Round Rock was rained out. The 33-year-old righty, who has been out since spring training recovering from a fractured right wrist, has a pair of starts under his belt already and will likely only need one or two additional tune-up outings before he’s ready to rejoin Texas’ pitching mix.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #70
    José Buttó (illness) fired a scoreless inning on Tuesday during a minor league rehab appearance in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.
    Buttó landed on the injured list earlier this month with an undisclosed illness. The 27-year-old righty, who has posted a strong 2.47 ERA across 43 2/3 innings (31 appearances) this season, figures to be ready to rejoin New York’s relief corps shortly after the All-Star break.
  • ATH Relief Pitcher #67
    Athletics transferred RHP Grant Holman to the 60-day injured list.
    Holman will be on the shelf until at least mid-August as he recovers from right shoulder tendinitis. The 25-year-old righty has posted a lackluster 5.09 ERA across 23 innings (22 appearances, two starts) this season in the big leagues. There’s a chance he doesn’t make it back to the Athletics’ relief mix until the late stages of the second half.
  • CLE Relief Pitcher #34
    Guardians placed RHP Paul Sewald on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 12, with a right shoulder strain.
    No word yet on how much time Sewald figures to miss. Cleveland will make a corresponding roster move following the All-Star break. The 35-year-old former stopper missed two months earlier this season with a shoulder strain. There should be an update on his status at some point in the coming days.
  • FA Relief Pitcher #67
    Brewers RHP Vinny Nittoli has elected free agency.
    Nittoli opted out of his minor league contract with Milwaukee after posted a respectable 3.86 ERA across 28 innings (27 appearances) this season at the Triple-A level. The 34-year-old journeyman has made 15 appearances in the big leagues between five different organizations since 2021.
  • ATL Shortstop
    Braves signed first-round pick SS Tate Southisene.
    Baseball America’s Carlos Collazo reports Southisene will receive a $2.622 million signing bonus, which is well below the $3.983 million slot value for the 22nd pick. The 18-year-old prep shortstop is several hyperspace jumps from the big leagues, but we’ve seen plenty of position players with his profiles develop into impact fantasy contributors in short order.
  • FA Outfield
    Giants released OF Vaun Brown.
    Brown, a 10th-round pick in 2021, had a fantastic debut that summer and in hitting .346/.437/.623 with 23 homers and 44 steals in A-ball in 2022, but he never has managed to conquer Double-A since. He was hitting .247/.347/.282 in 32 games there this season.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher
    MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo suggests that Mets RHP Nolan McLean “could play a key role in the upcoming pennant race.”
    DiComo didn’t mention what role McLean would play, but with Kodai Senga and Sean Manaea coming off the injured list last week, it’s more likely McLean would help the Mets out of the bullpen. The 23-year-old has a 2.52 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 65/26 K/BB ratio in 60 2/3 innings at Triple-A Syracuse since being promoted after just five starts at Double-A to begin the season.
  • FA Relief Pitcher #37
    The Athletic’s Will Sammon reports that free agent right-hander David Robertson is throwing for interested teams “within the next week.”
    Robertson pitched for the Rangers last season, posting a 3.00 ERA in 72 innings with a 99/27 K/BB ratio. From 2022-24, the 40-year-old averaged 63 appearances per season with a 2.82 ERA, so he has proven that he still can be a quality reliever at the big league level. While many teams were interested in Robertson earlier in the season, the veteran held firm to his contract demands and, as Sammon reports, “clubs failed to meet his asking price.” With the season nearing a close, Robertson’s salary demands are likely to be more acceptable to contenders, so it would not be a surprise to see him sign with a team by the end of the month.
