Vrieling was traded from the Yankees to the Giants on Thursday along with Jesus Rodriguez and Parks Harber in exchange for Camilo Doval, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

Vrieling has a 4.50 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 42:18 K:BB in 46 innings across 12 appearances at Double-A. The 24-year-old righty has a good curveball and cutter and may fit better in the bullpen long term.

The Brewers acquired Miller (forearm) and left-hander Jordan Montgomery (elbow) from the Diamondbacks on Thursday in exchange for a player to be named late, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Miller has been on the shelf since July 7 with a strained right forearm, but after turning in a 1.98 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 36.1 innings with Arizona, he'll most likely take on a high-leverage role in Milwaukee's bullpen once healthy. However, after notching 10 saves for Arizona prior to getting hurt, Miller is unlikely to be in line for many ninth-inning chances in Milwaukee while Trevor Megill has performed as one of the top closers in baseball this season. Miller recently resumed throwing bullpen sessions and should soon face hitters again before likely heading out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated from the 15-day injured list.

Hales was traded from the Rangers to the Cardinals on Thursday along with Mason Molina and international bonus pool money in exchange for Phil Maton, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

A pure reliever, Hales has had flashes of looking like a future late-inning arm, but he has struggled to prevent runs this year in the upper minors. The 23-year-old righty has a 7.64 ERA and 3.88 xFIP in 33 innings, primarily at Double-A, so he has been pretty unlucky while logging a 40:14 K:BB and five saves.

The Pirates traded Rogers to the Cubs for Ivan Brethowr on Thursday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Rogers' stay with the Pirates did not last long after he was traded from the Reds to Pittsburgh on Wednesday. As expected, the reliever was acquired by the Pirates to be flipped, which landed the Pirates an outfield prospect. Rogers should serve as a high-leverage relief option in Chicago.

The Pirates acquired Sisk and Callan Moss from the Royals on Thursday in exchange for Bailey Falter, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Sisk has spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level, though he did make his MLB debut for the Royals earlier this year and gave up one earned run with an 11:5 K:BB across 5.1 innings. He'll have a clearer path to the big-league bullpen in Pittsburgh.

Linan was traded from the Dodgers to the Nationals on Thursday along with Eriq Swan in exchange for Alex Call, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Linan put up silly numbers at Single-A to start the year (1.21 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 50 strikeouts in 29.2 innings) and has been excellent after a promotion to High-A, where he has a 2.65 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 39 strikeouts in 37.1 innings. Linan's changeup is easily his best pitch, and he could run into more trouble in the upper levels.

The Mets optioned Devenski to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Devenski has turned in a 2.84 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through 12.2 innings with the Mets this season, but he'll end up back on the roster at Syracuse to make room in New York's bullpen for the newly acquired Tyler Rogers.

The Phillies designated de Geus for assignment Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

The Phillies needed to clear a 40-man spot in order to make room for new acquisition Harrison Bader, and they will do so by removing de Geus. The 27-year-old righty has given up one run in two innings with the Phillies this season and owns a 3.86 ERA with a 1.69 WHIP through 35 innings in Triple-A.

The Dodgers acquired Stewart from the Twins on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

It's a homecoming of sorts for Stewart, who was drafted by the Dodges and spent his first three-and-a-half seasons with them in a swingman role. Stewart is now 33 and has struggled with injuries, but he's been healthy this year outside of an early-season hamstring issue and has posted a 2.38 ERA and 41:11 K:BB over 34 innings. He is under team control through 2027.

Wentz adjusted the grip on his cutter last month, which he says has fueled his recent form, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The 27-year-old southpaw struggled earlier in the season for the Pirates and Twins, but since Atlanta claimed him off the waiver wire July 11, Wentz has delivered a 1.50 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB over 18 innings and four appearances (three starts). "Joey's been great," manager Brian Snitker said after Wednesday's game, in which Wentz blanked the Royals over 6.2 innings. "It's just been about getting him stretched out, and now he is. He's just kind of quietly doing a really, really good job for us. And we're in a situation because we were looking for starters." Wentz's mediocre big-league track record still outweighs his July numbers, but if his cutter has become a true out pitch, he might finally begin to live up to his draft pedigree after being the 40th overall selection in the 2016 First-Year Player Draft.
