MLB Player News

Manfredi and Juan Martinez were traded from the Brewers to the Rockies on Monday in exchange for Antonio Senzatela, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Manfredi is a 26-year-old lefty reliever who has split the year between Double-A and Triple-A. He boasts a 3.35 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 68:22 K:BB in 45.2 innings across 34 appearances, but his 11.4 percent walk rate is a tad high, as he is also not much of a groundball pitcher (40.9 GB%).

Atlanta acquired Uberstine from Boston on Monday in exchange for outfielder Eli White, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old made his MLB debut in a 2.2-inning relief appearance with the Red Sox on April 5 but has otherwise spent the entire season in the minors. Over 32 innings at Triple-A Worcester, the right-hander posted a 2.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB. He'll likely join the bullpen at Triple-A Gwinnett as he moves on to a new organization.

Atlanta acquired Davitt from the White Sox on Monday in exchange for catcher Joey Bart, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

After making his second appearance of the season with the White Sox over the weekend, Davitt was designated for assignment earlier Monday when the team needed to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old righty will reclaim a 40-man spot in Atlanta and is likely to begin his time in the organization at Triple-A Gwinnett. Davitt has spent most of the 2026 campaign with Chicago's Triple-A affiliate in Charlotte, turning in a 6.22 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 64:25 K:BB across 59.1 innings.

The Cubs acquired Holmes (fibula) and outfielder Tyrone Taylor from the Mets on Monday in exchange for infielder Jefferson Rojas, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports.

Holmes didn't end up making it back from the injured list before the trade deadline, but the veteran right-hander showed well enough during the third start of his rehab assignment Sunday at High-A Brooklyn to have plenty of suitors vying for his services. The right-hander will ultimately land with the Cubs, who already bolstered their rotation over the weekend with the acquisition of Kevin Gausman. After covering 5.1 innings and 73 pitches Sunday, Holmes would appear to be stretched out enough to handle a starting role right away with the Cubs, though it's unclear if he'll be in store for a long-term spot in the rotation. Edward Cabrera (hamstring) began a rehab assignment Friday and could eventually emerge as a starting candidate once he returns from the IL, and the Cubs have received quality results of late from back-end rotation members Colin Rea and David Peterson. Holmes may plenty of experience working as a high-leverage reliever, so he might be ticketed for the bullpen once the Cubs pare down their rotation late in the season.

The Cubs acquired Zeferjahn from the Angels on Monday in exchange for catcher Moises Ballesteros and right-hander Mason McGwire, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Zeferjahn will bolster a Cubs bullpen that desperately needed help. Given the current complexion of the Cubs' relief crew, Zeferjahn could serve as the closer, though the Cubs could make further additions leading up Monday's deadline. Additionally, Daniel Palencia (elbow) appears to be close to beginning a rehab assignment and moving toward an eventual return from the injured list. Zeferjahn holds a 3.66 ERA and 75:32 K:BB over 51.2 innings for the Angels this season, logging four saves along the way. He's under team control through 2030.

The Brewers acquired Romero (abdomen) and Dustin May from the Cardinals on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Romero has been shelved since mid-July following an emergency appendectomy, but he's expected to be ready to return in mid-August. The southpaw has authored a 3.35 ERA and 43:16 K:BB over 43 innings this season and is an impending free agent.

The Pirates acquired Weaver and cash considerations from the Mets on Monday in exchange for shortstop Sammy Stafura, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Weaver receives a potentially big boost in fantasy value with a move to Pittsburgh, where he could be the favorite to serve as the Pirates' closer. The righty reliever has posted a 1.84 ERA and 45:11 K:BB over 44 innings this season for the Mets. Weaver is under contract for 2027 as well, with a salary of $12.5 million.

The Marlins acquired Kisting and infielders Brayden Taylor and Adrian Santana from the Rays on Monday in exchange for catcher Liam Hicks, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Kisting, 23, has logged an impressive 1.67 ERA and 96:18 K:BB over 86 innings with High-A Bowling Green this season. It's the second time since last offseason that Kisting has been traded, as he went from the Twins to the Rays in November in exchange for right-hander Eric Orze.

Romero (abdomen) has resumed light baseball activities and is expected to rejoin the active roster by mid-August, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Romero underwent an emergency appendectomy in mid-July. The impending free agent is a trade candidate and could still be dealt before Monday's deadline even though he will not be available to pitch for more than a week. Romero has authored a 3.35 ERA and 43:16 K:BB over 43 innings this season.

The Phillies designated Hoffman for assignment Monday.

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Brooks Raley, who was acquired in a trade with the Mets on Monday. Hoffman has spent nearly all of the 2026 season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, where he's logged a 4.72 ERA and 40:18 K:BB over 34.1 innings.
