The Twins acquired Hoffman from the Blue Jays on Monday in exchange for Dasan Hill, John Klein and Dameury Pena, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Hoffman lost his closer job with the Blue Jays early on this season, but he's been dominant since the beginning of June, turning in a 1.21 ERA and 30:8 K:BB over 22.1 innings. Yoendrys Gomez has fared well as the Twins' closer, but he will have competition with Hoffman for saves now. Hoffman is under contract for 2027 with a salary of $12.67 million.

The Brewers acquired Senzatela from the Rockies on Monday in exchange for Mark Manfredi and Juan Martinez.

Senzatela found a groove as a reliever this season, posting a 3.61 ERA and 46:17 K:BB over 52.1 innings. The veteran right-hander has a 7.45 ERA since the beginning of June, but a 20:8 K:BB over 19.1 innings suggests he had some bad luck. Senzatela will likely help set up in Milwaukee and is set to reach free agency after the season.

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%).

The Red Sox acquired Miller and outfielder Carlos Gutierrez from the Giants on Monday in exchange for infielder Marcelo Mayer (forearm), Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Miller will make his way to Boston in the midst of one of the more dominant stretches of his career. Dating back to June 12, the 28-year-old has delivered 14 consecutive scoreless appearances. The left-hander appeared to have worked his way into the Giants' unsettled closer picture, but with the move to Boston, he'll operate as a setup man in front of Aroldis Chapman.

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 Rays acquired Wells from the Orioles on Monday in exchange for right-hander Michael Forret, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wells boasts a 2.67 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 53:13 K:BB over 54 innings out of the Baltimore bullpen this season. He should handle a setup role for the Rays, who will have him under club control through the 2027 campaign.

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 Royals transferred Seabold (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Seabold will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Nolan Hoffman, whom the Royals acquired in a trade with the Phillies. Since Seabold was initially placed on the IL on July 1, he won't be eligible for activation until Aug. 30. Seabold is currently rehabbing in Arizona while he recovers from the right lat strain, and a potential target date for his return likely won't be known until he heads out on a rehab assignment.

The Royals acquired Hoffman from the Phillies on Monday in exchange for Manuel Colon.

Hoffman had been booted off the Phillies' 40-man roster earlier Monday, but he'll now join a new 40-man roster in Kansas City. The right-handed reliever has logged a 4.72 ERA and 40:18 K:BB over 34.1 innings at the Triple-A level this season and has given up two runs in 4.2 frames in the majors in 2026.
