Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams (wrist) was placed on the 7-day injured list on July 22 with a wrist injury.

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Zac Veen has been red-hot again at Triple-A Albuquerque, going 15-for-38 (.395) over his last eight games, with 11 of those 15 hits going for extra bases (five doubles, one triple, five home runs).

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers (abdomen) is out of his team's lineup for their Thursday matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-handed starting pitcher Braxton Ashcraft.

Since making his MLB debut on June 9, Colorado Rockies outfielder Cole Carrigg has emerged as a potential piece of his team's core going forward. Across 182 plate appearances, the 24-year-old is hitting .301/.387/.510 with five home runs, 28 RBI, 33 runs scored, and five stolen bases.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Garrett Mitchell still managed to make an impact in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates despite going 0-for-2 at the plate, as he had two walks and two stolen bases.

Newly acquired New York Yankees outfielder Heliot Ramos appears likely to be heavily relied upon in his new home, as he's started in left field and batted cleanup in each of his first two games with the team.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Aaron Judge (rib) has been "cleared" to start "light" activities, including running and upper-body "resistance" work in the weight room, according to Erik Boland of Newsday.

Former New York Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta called a meeting earlier this year for franchise cornerstones Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor to "clear the air," according to Jorge Castillo of ESPN.

The Pittsburgh Pirates released veteran outfielder/designated hitter Marcell Ozuna on Wednesday, a source told Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony (wrist), who has been out for three months with a partially torn tendon in his right wrist, has moved to taking batting practice in the batting cage, according to Ian Browne of MLB.com.

Whew! That was a whirlwind of a trade deadline, wasn't it? Yesterday we saw some of the new acquisitions in action, and it was a mixed bag. Tarik Skubal was solid in a loss, and Freddy Peralta got decimated in his Rays debut in Coors Field (the Rays still won). The Yankee fan in me... […]

We have a massive Wednesday slate but a small seven-game night slate. Now that the trade deadline has settled, we can finally lock into plays that will stand all day long. This will be my last article for the next week, as I will be headed on a much-needed family vacation. Let's lock in. If... […]
