Brewers designate Carlos Rodriguez for assignment

He’s not in today’s lineup — Matt McLain is at second base — but he could get major at-bats down the stretch as the Reds see what they have in the 23-year-old. He starts off the fantasy radar after a .244/.286/.282 start with one stolen base and zero homers in 142 plate appearances.

No indication yet on how long Hayes will be out, but we doubt they’ll be rushing him back since he’s hitting .153 in 78 games this year. The Reds would probably be better off seeing what Edwin Arroyo can do in September.

Assuming the original framework of the deal is not held up in any way, the Rays project to open the 2029 season in a new ballpark. “This has been a long and challenging process,” wrote managing partner and co-chair Patrick Zalupski in a statement, “and we know that transformational projects rarely come easily. Today’s vote represents an extraordinary milestone—not simply for the Rays or for a ballpark, but for the future of Tampa and the entire Tampa Bay region.” The days of the Tropicana catwalks appear to be numbered.

He’ll be part of the low leverage mix for the next few days while Tyler Schweitzer is on the paternity list. Gilbert hasn’t pitched in the bigs since early June and holds a 4.64 ERA in 20 games for the Knights this year, walking 10 and striking out 31 in 33 innings.

He’ll be back in the mix for strong-side platoon at-bats going forward, and seems likely to start tonight against RHP Dean Kremer.

Congrats to Schweitzer on his new job. He’ll be out of commission for the next few days.

Assuming Natera’s rehab assignment goes well, he should be a potential late-inning option for the Angels in early September.

Musgrove needed just 60 pitches to get through five frames and threw 70 percent of his pitches for strikes. He had just three whiffs on the day, but this has all the makings of a veteran in his final rehab start who was not really letting it fly. Musgrove has pitched well in the minors and seems healthy and can be added on waivers before his season debut next week.

Shaw has been out since late June with a hand strain. Now that he’s back, we have to wonder how the Cubs are going to split playing time between Shaw and Pedro Ramirez. Ramirez has been really solid so far this season, but the Cubs may look to get Shaw, their former top prospect, a few starts a week in the final month of the season. That could cannibalize both of their fantasy values.

Roupp was too inefficient to pull off a quality start, but he did get his first win since July 17. This does make six straight outings in which he’s failed to complete six innings. He’ll take an 8-13 record and a 4.25 ERA into his next start against the Pirates.
