The Guardians acquired Griffin from Washington on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The Guardians acquire Griffin, a starting pitching rental on an expiring contract after the 2026 season. Griffin, who made his first All-Star game this season, will join the Guardians as they bolster their starting rotation. The 30-year-old is tied for fourth in the majors with 12 wins, owning a 3.06 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 116:30 K:BB through 129.1 innings. The left-hander will join a staff consisting of Gavin Williams, Parker Messick, Joey Cantillo and Tanner Bibee.

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.

Boston acquired White from Atlanta on Monday in exchange for right-hander Tyler Uberstine, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

White has largely served as a short-side platoon player in the Atlanta outfield this season, slashing .233/.285/.406 with five home runs and four stolen bases across 144 plate appearances. He'll likely fill a similar role in Boston, where he could replace the left-handed-hitting Jarren Duran in left field when the Red Sox face left-handed pitchers. White is under team control through the 2028 season.

The Yankees acquired Ramos from the Giants on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The Yankees were seeking a right-handed-hitting bat and have landed one in Ramos, who has slashed .292/.343/.492 against left-handed pitching this season. The downside with Ramos is that he's hit only .256/.292/.404 in 2026 versus righties, and he's regarded as a poor defensive outfielder. Ramos will be under team control through 2029.

Jung (calf) did some running Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Jung's recovery from a left calf strain has come along more slowly than expected, but he took a big step forward Monday. The third baseman will continue to ramp up his running progression as long as he doesn't experience any setbacks. Jung has been sidelined for nearly two weeks, and it's uncertain whether he'll need some rehab games before being reinstated.

The White Sox acquired Bart from Atlanta on Monday in exchange for right-hander Duncan Davitt, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Bart's time in Atlanta had an expiration date with Sean Murphy (finger) due back from the injured list this week, and the 29-year-old ended up landing in what appears to be a favorable spot for his playing-time outlook. With Kyle Teel (ankle) likely to be out until at least early September, Bart could immediately emerge as the No. 1 catcher in Chicago, as the White Sox have received little in the way of production from either Drew Romo (.504 OPS in 151 plate appearances) or Edgar Quero (.492 OPS in 193 plate appearances) this season. Bart, meanwhile, has supplied a .226/.303/.377 slash line in 119 plate appearances between stops with Pittsburgh and Atlanta.

The Orioles acquired Forret from the Rays on Monday in exchange for right-hander Tyler Wells, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Forret makes his way back to Baltimore after being drafted by the Orioles back in 2023. The 22-year-old was dealt to Tampa Bay over the offseason along with three other prospects in the trade that sent Shane Baz to Baltimore. At Triple-A Durham this season, Forret posted a 4.89 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 46:18 K:BB through 38.2 innings. The young right-hander will most likely join Triple-A Norfolk in his return to the Orioles organization.

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 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.
