The Guardians traded Dion, Josh Hartle, Kendeglys Virguez and Nick Mitchell to the Nationals on Monday in exchange for Foster Griffin, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Dion, a 5-foot-10 southpaw, has a 4.58 ERA in 19.2 innings this year out of the big-league bullpen, but his fielding-independent metrics are quite a bit better (2.53 SIERA) thanks to a 29.4 percent strikeout rate and 3.5 percent walk rate. He was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday but could quickly join the Nationals at the big-league level.

The Guardians traded Hartle, Will Dion, Kendeglys Virguez and Nick Mitchell to the Nationals on Monday in exchange for Foster Griffin, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

A 23-year-old southpaw, Hartle has a 3.86 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 88 strikeouts in 93.1 innings at Double-A. He projects as either a back-end starter or middle reliever.

The Blue Jays acquired Klein, left-hander Dasan Hill, infielder Dameury Pena and $250,000 in international bonus pool space from the Twins on Monday exchange for right-hander Jeff Hoffman on Monday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Klein appeared in three games for Minnesota this season, but spent most of his time with Triple-A St. Paul. At the Triple-A level, the 24-year-old has recorded a 5.91 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 74:34 K:BB in 64 innings this season. The right-hander will report to Triple-A Buffalo to begin his time in the Toronto organization.

The Twins acquired Hoffman from the Blue Jays on Monday in exchange for Dasan Hill, John Klein and Dameury Pena, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Hoffman lost his closer job with the Blue Jays early on this season, but he's been dominant since the beginning of June, turning in a 1.21 ERA and 30:8 K:BB over 22.1 innings. Yoendrys Gomez has fared well as the Twins' closer, but he will have competition with Hoffman for saves now. Hoffman is under contract for 2027 with a salary of $12.67 million.

The Brewers acquired Senzatela from the Rockies on Monday in exchange for Mark Manfredi and Juan Martinez.

Senzatela found a groove as a reliever this season, posting a 3.61 ERA and 46:17 K:BB over 52.1 innings. The veteran right-hander has a 7.45 ERA since the beginning of June, but a 20:8 K:BB over 19.1 innings suggests he had some bad luck. Senzatela will likely help set up in Milwaukee and is set to reach free agency after the season.

Manfredi and Juan Martinez were traded from the Brewers to the Rockies on Monday in exchange for Antonio Senzatela, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Manfredi is a 26-year-old lefty reliever who has split the year between Double-A and Triple-A. He boasts a 3.35 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 68:22 K:BB in 45.2 innings across 34 appearances, but his 11.4 percent walk rate is a tad high, as he is also not much of a groundball pitcher (40.9 GB%).

The Red Sox acquired Miller and outfielder Carlos Gutierrez from the Giants on Monday in exchange for infielder Marcelo Mayer (forearm), Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Miller will make his way to Boston in the midst of one of the more dominant stretches of his career. Dating back to June 12, the 28-year-old has delivered 14 consecutive scoreless appearances. The left-hander appeared to have worked his way into the Giants' unsettled closer picture, but with the move to Boston, he'll operate as a setup man in front of Aroldis Chapman.

Atlanta acquired Uberstine from Boston on Monday in exchange for outfielder Eli White, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old made his MLB debut in a 2.2-inning relief appearance with the Red Sox on April 5 but has otherwise spent the entire season in the minors. Over 32 innings at Triple-A Worcester, the right-hander posted a 2.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB. He'll likely join the bullpen at Triple-A Gwinnett as he moves on to a new organization.

Atlanta acquired Davitt from the White Sox on Monday in exchange for catcher Joey Bart, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

After making his second appearance of the season with the White Sox over the weekend, Davitt was designated for assignment earlier Monday when the team needed to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old righty will reclaim a 40-man spot in Atlanta and is likely to begin his time in the organization at Triple-A Gwinnett. Davitt has spent most of the 2026 campaign with Chicago's Triple-A affiliate in Charlotte, turning in a 6.22 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 64:25 K:BB across 59.1 innings.

The Rays acquired Wells from the Orioles on Monday in exchange for right-hander Michael Forret, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wells boasts a 2.67 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 53:13 K:BB over 54 innings out of the Baltimore bullpen this season. He should handle a setup role for the Rays, who will have him under club control through the 2027 campaign.
