Teoscar Hernández goes 3-for-4, homers in loss

McCalvy reports that the Brewers’ initial proposal “was also three prospects, according to sources. All three were hitters, and at least two were Top 100 prospects.” While McCalvy is unsure exactly which three names were in the final proposal, he reports that “one of them was shortstop Luis Peña,” who is the18th-ranked prospect on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100. This season, Peña is hitting .308/.396/.447 in 45 games between Single-A and High-A with two home runs, 19 RBI, and 22 steals. The Brewers must have been comfortable enough with the recent performance of Cooper Pratt to deal Peña, but the Tigers went in another direction. Perhaps they preferred Zyhir Hope’s upside or wanted a pitching prospect like River Ryan. Those are the answers we’re unlikely to ever get.

Seems like a routine day off for Díaz. Liam Hicks will play first base and Jonathan Aranda will DH. Victor Mesa Jr. will shift into the leadoff spot.

The Orioles needed a roster spot for newly acquired reliever Alex Hoppe, so Nunez was sent down. The 25-year-old has a 4.60 ERA in 45 innings for the Orioles this season.

Hays has been on the injured list since May 2nd with a calf strain, and the White Sox have since added Randal Grichuk and Brenton Doyle to be right-handed outfielders. Hays will try to latch on elsewhere if his calf is 100 percent.

The Cubs needed a spot on the active roster, so Kelly will be sent down. He threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings in his MLB debut.

The 27-year-old has a 2.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 40/18 K/BB ratio in 45 innings at Triple-A so far this season. His 3 1/3 MLB innings have been far less successful.

Estrada has a 4.82 ERA in 9 1/3 innings so far this season for the Blue Jays. He was just demoted to Triple-A on Tuesday but is eligible to come right back since Trey Yesavage (knee) was put on the injured list.

Dallas was needed for three innings out of the bullpen on Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits. He’ll now head back to the minors so the team can get a fresh arm up in the bullpen.

The latest report was that the Blue Jays were still waiting on MRI results, but it’s clear that they felt Yesavage would not be a good bet to make his next start or the one after. The Blue Jays didn’t fully sell at the deadline, but their playoff hopes remain slim, so they may not be inclined to rush Yesavage and have him pitch at less than 100 percent. We’ll wait for the MRI results before we know more about how long he will be sidelined.

We are a long way from March, when Wiemer went 10-for-22 with two home runs, seven runs scored, and four RBI in the first five games of the season. The 27-year-old is hitting .196/.277/.257 in 166 plate appearances at Triple-A. He’ll try to sign a minor league contract somewhere else.
