    Ross, 33, elected free agency on Wednesday rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Round Rock. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side though and he’ll return to the Rangers on a minor league pact. He should get another opportunity with the big league club at some point this summer.
  • FA Relief Pitcher #41
    Ross heads back to the open market in search of a new opportunity after passing through waivers unclaimed earlier this week. The well-traveled 33-year-old allowed allowed five runs over eight innings during five appearances for Texas after being called up back on June 13.
  • TEX Relief Pitcher #41
    Ross joins the Rangers’ bullpen mix ahead of Saturday’s game against the Red Sox at Fenway Park just over three weeks after signing a minor league contract with the club. The well-traveled 33-year-old is merely a long relief option at this stage of his career, but he’s an experienced one, having made 163 appearances in the big leagues since 2015. He was hit extremely hard in three appearances for the Diamondbacks earlier this year.
  • TEX Relief Pitcher #22
    Ross, 33, made three appearances in the big leagues with the Diamondbacks this season, posting a cringe-inducing 19.64 ERA, 3.00 WHIP and a 2/4 K/BB ratio over 3 2/3 innings of work. He’ll add extra pitching depth for the Rangers at the Triple-A level.
  • AZ Relief Pitcher #22
    Ross finds himself back in the fold with Arizona as organizational depth after spending a couple days on the open market. The 32-year-old reliever was tagged for eight runs over 3 2/3 innings across three appearances for the Diamondbacks prior to being designated for assignment last Friday.
  • FA Relief Pitcher #22
    Ross cleared waivers over the weekend and will head out onto the open market to pursue opportunities elsewhere rather than stick around at Triple-A Reno. The 32-year-old reliever was lit up for eight runs over 3 2/3 innings across three appearances for Arizona prior to being designated for assignment last Friday.
  • AZ Relief Pitcher #22
    Ross quickly loses his spot after giving up eight runs in 3 2/3 innings to begin the year. His velocity has been better than usual and he’s not making much more than minimum, so perhaps someone else will give him a look in middle relief.
  • AZ Relief Pitcher #43
    Loáisiga looked like one of Arizona’s best relievers this spring, and he should be a part of the eighth- or ninth-inning mix right away. If he can just stay healthy, he might wind up leading the team in saves. Still, we’re talking about a 31-year-old who has only once topped 50 innings in the majors. He hasn’t made more than 30 appearances since 2022.
  • AZ Relief Pitcher #41
    Ross bolsters Arizona’s middle relief depth after compiling a pedestrian 5.12 ERA — 6.08 xERA — 1.47 WHIP and 39/18 K/BB ratio across 51 innings for the Phillies last year. The 32-year-old journeyman has made 160 appearances (87 starts) in the majors since 2015.
  • FA Starting Pitcher #41
    Ross was let go by the Phillies last week after amassing a 5.12 ERA and a 39/18 K/BB in 51 innings. He could log time in the Cubs pen later this month.

    Mets recalled RHP Tobias Myers from Triple-A Syracuse

    The Mets were counting on Myers to provide length out of their bullpen this season, but he has pitched to a 6.21 ERA in 42 innings. His results were much better in nine innings at Triple-A, so the team will hope he can carry that over into his MLB innings.

    Mets selected the contract of RHP Xzavion Curry from Triple-A Syracuse

    The 27-year-old had a 4.74 ERA in 49 1/3 innings in Triple-A, operating primarily as a starter. He figures to pitch in bulk relief work for the Mets.

    Mets designated RHP Matt Seelinger for assignment.

    It’s a tough 24 hours for Seelinger. The 31-year-old Long Island native made his MLB debut with the Mets on Tuesday but was thrust into a 9-9 game because the rest of the team couldn’t stop the Royals from scoring. Seelinger then allowed seven runs on five hits in two innings and has now been let go.

    Mets placed RHP Austin Warren on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain.

    Warren had a 4.63 ERA in 35 innings for the Mets this season out of the bullpen. There is no word yet on the severity of the injury or if it will require surgery.

    Giants recalled C/OF Jesús Rodriguez from Triple-A Sacramento

    This is Rodriguez’s second stint in the big leagues this season after hitting .231/.302/.385 with two homers, seven RBI and one steal in 43 plate appearances over 14 games back in May. He will likely be a part-time player through the All-Star break.

    Giants placed OF Jonah Cox on the 10-day injured list with an oblique strain.

    Cox was having a really solid season in Triple-A and had hit .269/.269/.500 with one home run and four sterals in 29 plate appearances for the Giants this season. There’s no word yet on the severity of the oblique strain, but it should keep him out a month or more.

    Pirates recalled C/1B Rafael Flores Jr. from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Flores Jr. is 2-for-3 with a home run in two games with the Pirates this season. He’s hitting .228/.362/.342 with four home runs and 38 RBI in 65 games at Triple-A this year and is firmly off the fantasy radar.

    Pirates placed C/1B Endy Rodríguez on the 10-day injured list with a left glute strain.

    Rodríguez just can’t catch a break. The 26-year-old had played in just 18 MLB games in 2024 and 2025 due to injury but had looked good since returning this season, hitting .260/.388/.470 with five home runs and 16 RBI in 35 games. He’ll now head back to the injured list, but, with the All-Star break looming, hopefully won’t miss too much time.

    Victor Bericoto is not in the lineup on Wednesday against the Blue Jays

    Bericoto has a three-game hitting streak, where he has gone 5-for-12 with three RBI and a steal. He has also hit 14-for-37 (.378) with three home runs, six runs scored, and eight RBI in 10 games since becoming a regular starter with Matt Chapman (abs) on the injured list. It would seem like the Giants could find another hitter to give an off day to, but they will start Drew Gilbert in center field with Bericoto on the bench.

    Colton Cowser is starting in center field and batting seventh against the Cubs on Wednesday.

    Cowser had sat the previous two games with a left-hander on the mound, but he’ll be in the starting lineup tonight with Blaze Alexander shifting to third base and Coby Mayo heading to the bench. This strict platoon usage makes it easier to roster Cowser in fantasy leagues with daily moves.
