MLB Player News

The Marlins traded De La Cruz to the Pirates on Tuesday in exchange for Jun-Seok Shim and Garret Forrester, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

De La Cruz will join Tanner Scott, Josh Bell, Trevor Rogers and Jazz Chisholm on the list of players that have departed Miami ahead of the trade deadline. The 27-year-old De La Cruz has slashed .245/.289/.417 through 453 plate appearances on the year and figures to remain in an everyday role upon joining the Pirates' outfield unit.

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.

Tauchman is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

Tauchman had started in eight of the Cubs' last nine games following his return from the injured list July 19, but he slashed just .129/.182/.129 over those contests. He's still holding down a .690 OPS for the season -- 140 points above Pete Crow-Armstrong's .550 mark -- but Tauchman could nonetheless lose out on work to the former player while he's struggling at the plate. Though he's provided little impact with the bat this season, Crow-Armstrong brings elite speed and defense in center field to the table, while Tauchman has typically been relegated to designated hitter or a corner-outfield spot and isn't nearly as prolific in the running game.

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.

Soler isn't in Atlanta's lineup versus the Brewers on Tuesday.

Soler was acquired by Atlanta from the Giants on Monday but will not make his team debut Tuesday. It's expected that he will see action Wednesday for the series finale in Milwaukee. Ramon Laureano is starting in right field Tuesday and batting eighth.

The Mets designated Adcock for assignment Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

The Mets optioned Adcock to Triple-A on July 6 after he allowed seven earned runs in just 4.1 frames with the big-league squad. He has since given up three runs (two earned) in 5.1 innings in the minors, but he will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster to clear space for Tyler Zuber, who was acquired from Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

The Mets acquired Zuber from the Rays on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Paul Gervase, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Zuber has been excellent this season for the Rays' Triple-A affiliate, logging a 2.49 ERA in 21.2 innings with a 29:6 K:BB. The 29-year-old made his first big-league appearance since 2021 earlier this month, allowing one run in 3.1 innings of relief. It's unclear if Zuber will join the New York bullpen immediately or begin his time in the organization at Triple-A Syracuse.

The Marlins added Hensley to the 26-man roster Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The Marlins claimed Hensley from the Astros on Monday, and with Miami making a slew of trades at the deadline, Hensley will immediately join the active roster. It's unclear if the utility man will stick around long-term or just serve as a fill-in option until Kyle Stowers and Connor Norby arrive from Baltimore.

The Marlins acquired Pauley, Robby Snelling, Adam Mazur and Jay Beshears from the Padres on Tuesday in exchange for relievers Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The 23-year-old saw some action with the Padres early in the season but has spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level. Pauley went 4-for-32 with 15 strikeouts in his first taste of the majors and has also underwhelmed at Triple-A this year with a .228/.342/.390 slash line. He'll have a clearer path to playing time with the Marlins and could receive another look in the majors before the end of the season.

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.
