  • Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Moves to 60-day IL

    The Marlins transferred Garrett (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Garrett began a throwing program last week -- roughly a month after a forearm flexor strain sent him to the injured list. He still figures to be sidelined for another few weeks, so the Marlins will move him to the 60-day IL and give his 40-man spot to Jesus Tinoco, who was claimed off waivers from the Cubs on Tuesday.

  • Seth Johnson RP | ATH

    Phillies' Seth Johnson: Traded to Phillies

    The Orioles traded Johnson to Philadelphia on Tuesday in exchange for Gregory Soto, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Through 18 starts with Double-A Bowie, Johnson has recorded a 2.63 ERA and 1.32 WHIP through 65 innings this year. It's likely he heads to Double-A Reading to begin his tenure with the Phillies, though a promotion to Triple-A Lehigh Valley could come in the near future if the 25-year-old righty continues at his current pace.

  • Martin Perez SP | ATL

    Padres' Martin Perez: Sent to San Diego

    The Padres acquired Perez from the Pirates on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Ronaldys Jimenez, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Perez will claim the fifth spot in San Diego's rotation, as the team had been using a four-man setup prior to Tuesday's trade deadline. The 33-year-old southpaw has struggled mightily since returning from the injured list in late June, putting up a 6.31 ERA and 1.87 WHIP across 25.2 innings.

  • Jack Flaherty SP | DET

    Dodgers' Jack Flaherty: Traded to Dodgers

    The Dodgers acquired Flaherty from the Tigers on Tuesday in exchange for infielder Trey Sweeney and catcher Thayron Liranzo, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    One of the top pitchers available at the deadline, Flaherty finds himself in a favorable landing spot with the playoff-contending Dodgers, whose rotation is dealing with uncertainty due to a slew of injuries and some unproven rookies. Flaherty had pitched at an ace-like level over his final seven starts with Detroit, turning in a 2.08 ERA and 0.87 WHIP while striking out 43 over 39 innings. The right-hander is likely to slot into the Dodgers rotation during this weekend's series in Oakland.

  • Jun-Seok Shim SP | MIA

    Marlins' Jun-Seok Shim: Shipped to Fish

    Shim (shoulder) was traded from the Pirates to the Marlins on Tuesday along with Garret Forrester in exchange for Bryan De La Cruz, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

    Shim was on the Florida Complex League Pirates' 60-day injured list with a right shoulder injury at the time of the trade. A 6-foot-4 Korean righty, Shim has big-time stuff but has been unable to hold up physically. He has 13 strikeouts in eight career innings since signing for $750,000 in January of 2023.

  • Erick Fedde SP | CHW

    Cardinals' Erick Fedde: First start for St. Louis on Friday

    Fedde is scheduled to make his first start with the Cardinals on Friday versus the Cubs in Chicago, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Before being acquired from the White Sox on Monday, Fedde made his final start with the Pale Hose this past Saturday. Following Monday's trade, Fedde won't join the Cardinals in St. Louis before their series with the Rangers comes to an end Wednesday, as he'll instead remain in Chicago while waiting for his new teammates to arrive Thursday. Fedde went 7-4 with a 3.11 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over his 21 starts with the White Sox this season.

  • Roddery Munoz RP | HOU

    Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Marlins recalled Munoz from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Munoz had been optioned to Jacksonville on Friday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Marlins without making an appearance in the minors since he'll be replacing one of the many players that Miami traded away ahead of Tuesday's deadline. The banged-up Marlins still have plenty of holes in their rotation, so Munoz could step back into a starting role as soon as Wednesday at Tampa Bay or Thursday at Atlanta. He holds a 5.61 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 50:31 K:BB over 61 innings in the majors in 2024.

  • Adam Mazur P | MIA

    Marlins' Adam Mazur: Heads to Miami in six-play trade

    Mazur was traded from the Padres to the Marlins on Tuesday along with Robby Snelling, Graham Pauley and Jay Beshears in exchange for Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Mazur's minor-league body of work was pretty stellar (2.37 FIP at Double-A in 2024, 3.01 FIP at Double-A in 2023) before he reached the Pacific Coast League and the majors this season. In five Triple-A starts, Mazur has a 7.83 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, which is similar to his 7.49 ERA and 1.81 WHIP in eight big-league starts. He will likely head to Triple-A Jacksonville for the time being, but Mazur should get plenty of chances to carve out a spot in Miami's rotation in the coming years.

  • Robby Snelling SP | MIA

    Marlins' Robby Snelling: Traded to Fish

    Snelling is part of the prospect package going from San Diego to Miami in exchange for Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

    Snelling is the youngest qualified pitcher at Double-A, which helps explain some of his struggles this season. He had a 6.01 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and a 67:33 K:BB in 73.1 innings across 16 starts in the Texas League. Snelling has been capable of strong performances this year, including several starts in which he allowed one earned run or fewer with five-plus strikeouts over at least five innings, but he has lacked consistency, mixing in multiple starts in which he gave up more runs than innings pitched. The Marlins will likely assign Snelling to Double-A Pensacola, and if he can display more consistency, he could join the big-league rotation at some point in 2025.

  • Joe Ross RP | TEX

    Brewers' Joe Ross: Confirmed to start Tuesday

    Ross (back) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and will start Tuesday's game versus Atlanta, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

    Though Ross will slot into the Milwaukee rotation and will make his first start for the big club since May 20, he may be headed to the bullpen once trade-deadline acquisition Frankie Montas officially joins the roster. Ross was torched for 11 earned runs on 14 hits and five walks over 8.1 innings in his final two rehab starts at Triple-A Nashville and posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over nine outings with Milwaukee prior to being shelved, so he'll be difficult to trust as a streaming option.
