  • Oswald Peraza 3B | LAA

    Angels' Oswald Peraza: Traded to Halos

    The Yankees traded Peraza to the Angels on Thursday, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

    In exchange for Peraza, the Yankees received Wilberson De Pena and international bonus money from the Angels, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Peraza lost playing time with the Yankees after New York acquired Ryan McMahon but should find some playing time with a struggling Angels team.

  • Mariners' Ben Williamson: Optioned to Triple-A

    Williamson was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

    Williamson had been the Mariners third baseman prior to the Eugenio Suarez acquisition, and it makes more sense for Williamson to be playing every day at Triple-A than playing sparingly in the majors. Known more for his glove than his bat, Williamson is slashing .253/.294/.310 with one home run and five steals in 85 games as a rookie.

  • Mariners' Miles Mastrobuoni: Back in majors

    Mastrobuoni was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

    The Mariners acquired Eugenio Suarez to handle third base, and Mastrobuoni fits better as a bench infielder role than Ben Williamson, who will head back to Triple-A to get regular at-bats. Mastrobuoni is hitting .252 with one home run and five steals in 71 games in the majors.

  • Isaac Paredes 3B | HOU

    Astros' Isaac Paredes: Could be done for season

    The Astros are bracing for the possibility of Paredes requiring season-ending surgery to address a torn right hamstring, a procedure that would keep him out for around 6-to-7 months, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

    Houston hasn't provided official word on the extent of Paredes' right hamstring strain since he was placed on the injured list July 20, but the 26-year-old appears to have received unfavorable news after undergoing further testing. Citing a league source, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reported Wednesday that Paredes' injury has been deemed significant enough to keep him out for two months, though his recovery timeline would be extended to next spring if surgery is necessary. Before Paredes decides whether to go under the knife, he's expected to receive a second medical opinion later this week. In anticipation of Paredes missing extended time, the Astros acquired Ramon Urias from the Orioles on Wednesday to bolster the left side of the infield.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Tallies 13th homer

    Vargas went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Wednesday against the Phillies.

    Vargas played his part in a seven-run seventh inning for the White Sox, blasting his 13th home run of the season. He hasn't had a strong July, but he has performed well since the All-Star break by collecting at least one hit in eight of his 12 starts. In that span, Vargas has popped three homers, driven in nine and scored 12 runs.

  • Athletics' Miguel Andujar: Belts two homers in win

    Andujar went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in a 5-4 victory versus the Mariners on Wednesday.

    Andujar was a thorn in Seattle starter Bryan Woo's side Wednesday, tagging the hurler for a solo homer in each of the fourth and seventh frames. Andujar went 26 games without a long ball between May 14 and July 26, but he's since erupted for three home runs over his past four games. He's batting .467 with five RBI over that latter stretch.

  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Returning to Seattle

    The Mariners acquired Suarez from the Diamondbacks on Wednesday in exchange for first baseman Tyler Locklear and right-handers Juan Burgos and Hunter Cranton, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    After slashing .248/.321/.577 with 36 home runs through 105 games with the Diamondbacks this season, Suarez will return to Seattle, where he spent the 2022 and 2023 season. Suarez will replace Ben Williamson as the club's third baseman and is likely to bat in the heart of the order, giving the Mariners a much-needed power bat as the team looks to make a push for a playoff spot over the final two months of the season.

  • Ramon Urias 2B | STL

    Astros' Ramon Urias: Moved to Houston

    The Astros acquired Urias from the Orioles on Wednesday in exchange for right-handed pitcher Twine Palmer, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    With Isaac Paredes (hamstring) likely to miss the remainder of the season, the Astros will bring in Urias to replenish their depth in the infield. The 31-year-old is batting .248 with a .688 OPS on the season -- both of which are the lowest marks of his career -- but his ability to fill in at third or second base could help him crack the starting nine on a somewhat consistent basis while Houston navigates a plethora of injuries.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Productive in victory

    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Rockies.

    Ramirez picked up multiple hits for the eighth time in the month of July, and he's now logged at least one hit in nine of his last 10 games. The All-Star third baseman continues to act as the engine for the Guardians' offense in 2025 -- Ramirez is slashing a potent .310/.391/.545 with 34 extra-base hits, 42 RBI, 55 runs scored and 25 stolen bases across 330 plate appearances since the start of May.

  • Luis Guillorme 3B | HOU

    Astros' Luis Guillorme: Back with Houston

    The Astros re-signed Guillorme to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    The veteran infielder elected free agency earlier in the week after being outrighted by Houston, but he's back in the organization on a new deal. After being called up by the Astros in mid-June, Guillorme went 3-for-20 in 12 games before going down with a hamstring injury a few weeks later.
