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.

Marlins' George Soriano: Joining 26-man roster
The Marlins recalled Soriano from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Soriano is set to see his first big-league action since May after the Marlins unloaded several pitchers at the trade deadline. The reliever yielded 12 runs in 11.2 innings with the Marlins this season but has posted a much more acceptable 4.66 ERA with Jacksonville.

Tomas Nido C | DET
Cubs' Tomas Nido: Undergoes knee surgery
Nido underwent a debridgement on his right knee Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Nido landed on the 10-day injured list last week with a sprained knee and has now had it scoped. He's expected to be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks, per Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network, so he'll likely be out until September.

Bryan Hoeing RP | SD
Padres' Bryan Hoeing: Heading to San Diego
The Padres acquired Hoeing and Tanner Scott from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for prospects Robby Snelling, Adam Mazur, Graham Pauley and Jay Beshears, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Hoeing obviously isn't the headliner of the trade for the Friars, but he's still a strong addition to the bullpen. The right-hander has two starts in 16 big-league appearances this season and has a 2.70 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB across 30 innings.

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.

Tanner Scott RP | LAD
Padres' Tanner Scott: Traded to San Diego
The Padres acquired Scott and Bryan Hoeing from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for Robby Snelling, Adam Mazur, Graham Pauley and Jay Beshears, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Scott has been viewed as the best reliever that was expected to be traded at the deadline and will help give the Padres a stellar back end of the bullpen along with Robert Suarez and Jason Adam. It's not clear yet how manager Mike Shildt plans to handle the closer role.

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.

Angel Chivilli RP | NYY
Rockies' Angel Chivilli: Brought up to bigs
The Rockies recalled Chivilli from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.
With the Rockies dealing Nick Mears and Jalen Beeks at the trade deadline, Chivilli will join the 26-man roster for the second time in his career. The 21-year-old made five appearances with Colorado in June, surrendering three home runs in 5.1 innings en route to an 8.44 ERA.

Paul Blackburn RP | NYY
Mets' Paul Blackburn: Heading to playoff contender
The Mets acquired Blackburn from the Athletics on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Kade Morris, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
The Mets have been on the lookout for rotation reinforcements and have found one in Blackburn. The right-hander returned this past Friday from a stint on the 60-day injured list due to a stress reaction in his right foot, allowing four runs over five innings in his first start back with Oakland. Overall, Blackburn has posted a 4.41 ERA and 38:14 K:BB across 51 frames covering nine starts in 2024. He'll be under team control through 2025.

Luke Maile C | KC
Reds' Luke Maile: Starting rehab stint
Maile (back) was sent to Triple-A Louisville to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday.
The 33-year-old landed on the shelf in early July with a herniated disc and was hoping to return just after the All-Star break, but his absence is now approaching a month. Maile still shouldn't require a lengthy rehab assignment, so he could be back with the Reds within the next week.
