The White Sox traded Banks to the Phillies on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Through 48 innings with the White Sox, Banks has posted a 4.13 ERA and 1.29 WHIP. Chicago's lack of reliever depth has forced him to work often in high-leverage situations this season, though it's likely he moves into a middle-relief role upon joining a more talented Phillies bullpen.

The Mets acquired Brazoban from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for outfield prospect Wilfredo Lara, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Brazoban had primarily worked in middle relief for Miami this season and pitched well with a 2.93 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB over 30.2 innings. The right-hander will likely fill a similar role for the Mets.

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.

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 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.

The Mets traded Gervase to Tampa Bay on Tuesday in exchange for Tyler Zuber, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports

Gervase has spent the 2024 season with the Mets' Double-A affiliate, generating a 3.25 ERA across 27.2 innings with 46 strikeouts. A 12th-round draft pick in 2022, the Rays will look to further develop the 24-year-old.

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 Tigers acquired Lee and Joseph Montalvo from the Rangers on Tuesday in exchange for Andrew Chafin, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Lee has missed much of 2024 due to injury but has looked like a potential late-inning relief arm when healthy. He holds a 4.19 ERA and 139:46 K:BB over 105.1 innings during his time at the Triple-A level.

The Tigers acquired Montalvo and Chase Lee from the Rangers on Tuesday in exchange for Andrew Chafin, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Montalvo has collected a 2.44 ERA and 73:19 K:BB over 59 innings this season with High-A Hickory. The 22-year-old is a nice get as part of a package for a rental reliever.

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.
