  • Trey Wingenter RP | CHC

    Red Sox's Trey Wingenter: DFA'd by Boston

    The Red Sox designated Wingenter for assignment Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    The right-hander was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Monday but didn't stick on the big-league roster for long. Wingenter has given up seven earned runs over 2.1 frames in his two appearances for Boston this season.

  • Yankees' Yoendrys Gomez: Sent to Triple-A

    The Yankees optioned Gomez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

    Gomez was able to get through his two-inning appearance Monday without giving up a run, bringing his ERA down to 3.97 through 11.1 frames in the majors. He'll now return to Triple-A following the acquisition of Mark Leiter from the Cubs, though Gomez could still return to New York later in the year should the Yankees need a fresh bullpen arm.

  • Yankees' Enyel De Los Santos: Acquired by Yankees

    The Yankees acquired De Los Santos and right-hander Thomas Balboni from the Padres in exchange for outfielder Brandon Lockridge on Tuesday.

    De Los Santos had a 4.46 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 48:13 K:BB over 40.1 innings for the Padres this season, but he was expendable with the club adding major bullpen pieces at the deadline. The right-handed journeyman had a 3.18 ERA in 120 outings for the Guardians across the previous two seasons, and he's likely to work in middle relief for the Yankees.

  • Gregory Soto RP | PIT

    Orioles' Gregory Soto: Shipped to Baltimore

    The Phillies traded Soto to the Orioles on Tuesday in exchange for Seth Johnson, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Soto owns a 4.08 ERA and 1.58 WHIP through 35.1 innings with the Phillies this season. He's capable of handling high-leverage situations, recording two saves and seven holds on the year, though he'll most likely handle middle relief while with the O's.

  • Joel Kuhnel RP | ATH

    Rays' Joel Kuhnel: Recalled after deadline

    The Rays recalled Kuhnel from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

    Kuhnel was claimed by the Rays off waivers from the Brewers on July 23. The 29-year-old made two appearances for Durham, allowing three runs across two innings. The right-hander finds himself in the bigs as a replacement for Shawn Armstrong, who was acquired by the Cardinals from the Rays before Tuesday's trade deadline.

  • Brock Stewart RP | LAD

    Twins' Brock Stewart: Headed for injured list

    Stewart (undisclosed) is expected to be placed on the injured list Wednesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

    The move isn't official yet and his injury isn't clear, but it's not surprising given his struggles since his return from shoulder tendinitis on July 24 -- he's given up seven runs and seven hits in 2.1 innings over three outings with a 3:2 K:BB in that span.

  • Luis Garcia RP | NYM

    Red Sox's Luis Garcia: Traded to Boston

    The Red Sox acquired Garcia from the Angels on Tuesday for an unspecified return, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

    Garcia briefly stepped in as the Halos' closer after the departure of Carlos Estevez but has now been traded himself. The 37-year-old Garcia joined Anaheim on a one-year deal during the offseason and has a 3.71 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 40:14 over 43.2 innings this year. He should serve as a setup man to closer Kenley Jansen, while Ben Joyce is primed to take over as the Angels' closer.

  • Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY

    Blue Jays' Ryan Yarbrough: Dealt to Toronto

    The Blue Jays acquired Yarbrough from the Dodgers on Tuesday in exchange for outfielder Kevin Kiermaier, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    After being designated for assignment on Monday so that the Dodgers could make room on the roster for trade-deadline pickup Amed Rosario, Yarbrough will now get a chance to carve out a role for himself with the Blue Jays. The 32-year-old lefty has mostly worked out of the bullpen over the past three seasons and will presumably step into a long-relief role initially with his new organization, though the Blue Jays are lacking in back-end rotation depth and could end up giving Yarbrough a look in a starting role at some point. Yarbrough owns a 3.74 ERA and 1.14 WHIP through 67.1 innings on the season, though he's given up 10 earned runs in just 15 innings since the beginning of July.

  • Josh Staumont RP | CIN

    Twins' Josh Staumont: DFA'd by Twins

    The Twins designated Staumont for assignment Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    With Trevor Richards coming over to Minnesota in a trade with Toronto on Tuesday, Staumont will end up as the odd man out of a spot on the Twins' roster. The 30-year-old was able to get through his first seven MLB appearances of the year without allowing an earned run. However, he's given up 10 earned runs in just 4.2 innings since July 12.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Hernandez: Designated for assignment

    The Rangers designated Hernandez for assignment Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    With the Rangers acquiring Andrew Chafin in a trade with the Tigers on Tuesday, Hernandez will lose his spot on the roster in order to create space. The 28-year-old righty owns a 5.05 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 41 innings on the year.
