    Angels claimed RHP Trevor Martin off waivers from the Rays; optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake.

    There were probably a bunch of teams putting claims in here, but the Angels had priority. Martin, 25, posted a 3.97 ERA in 11 1/3 innings for the Rays in the first half of the season. He doesn’t offer a particularly high ceiling in relief, but he could prove useful in the sixth and seventh innings with his mid-90s fastball, cutter and splitter and he still has all of his option years remaining.

    Martin has a 3.97 ERA in 11 1/3 innings with the Ray this year and is only 25 — we figure he’ll at least draw some interest on waivers.
  • TB Middle Reliever
    Martin has pitched decently in six appearances for the Rays this season, registering a 3.97 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and a 7/4 K/BB ratio across 11 1/3 innings. He made just one appearance during his most recent stint with the big league club though, working a scoreless inning on June 28. Mason Englert was recalled from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move on Sunday.
  • TB Middle Reliever
    Martin has pitched decently in six appearances out of the Rays’ bullpen this season, registering a 4.35 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and a 6/4 K/BB ratio over 10 1/3 innings. He’ll be utilized in a middle relief role. Michael Grove was optioned to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move on Sunday.
  • TB Middle Reliever
    Martin is the unfortunate casualty of an overworked bullpen. The right-hander threw three innings on Monday, and then the Rays needed to use the majority of their other fresh relievers on Tuesday after Steven Matz’s short start, so they need to add more fresh arms. Martin should be back up in short order.
  • TB Middle Reliever
    Martin was just optioned out on Wednesday, but he’ll rejoin the Rays’ bullpen with Craig Kimbrel (wrist) landing on the injured list. The 25-year-old hurler holds a 3.68 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and a 5/3 K/BB ratio over 7 1/3 innings in four appearances with the Rays this season.
  • TB Middle Reliever
    Martin is sent down to make room for Jon Heasley. The 25-year-old will likely be up and down for the majority of 2026.
  • TB Middle Reliever
    Martin has a 6.23 ERA in three appearances for the Rays this year, as well as a 2.40 ERA in 12 appearances for Durham. He’ll remain part of the low-leverage shuffle in Tampa Bay.
  • TB Middle Reliever
    With Casey Legumina joining the team’s active roster on Sunday, someone needed to go to make room in the bullpen and unfortunately Martin was the odd man out this time around. The 25-year-old hurler registered a 6.23 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and a 4/1 K/BB ratio over 4 1/3 innings in his three appearances with the Rays. He’ll continue to function as extra bullpen depth at the Triple-A level.
  • TB Middle Reliever
    The Rays needed a reliever with Mason Englert (forearm) on the IL, so Martin was added to the 40-man roster, and Michael Grove was transferred to the 60-day injured list. Martin has thrown 9 1/3 scoreless innings at Triple-A this season with an 11/6 K/BB ratio.

    Casey Mize pitched three-hit ball for six innings in the Padres’ 5-0 shutout of the Guardians on Sunday.

    Jeremiah Estrada, Adrian Morejon and Yuki Matsui completed the three-hitter. Mize settled for three strikeouts today. Oddly enough, the 22 splitters he threw produced zero whiffs or called strikes. However, they did generate outs all six times they were put into play. Mize improved to 5-7 with a 3.18 ERA overall. He’ll take on another familiar foe when the Twins travel to San Diego next weekend. Both his four wins and his five losses versus the Twins are the most he has against any team.

    Tanner Bibee surrendered three runs in six innings Sunday against the Padres to take his fourth straight loss.

    Cleveland was shutout in a Bibee start for the fourth time this year. Both he and Joey Cantillo have made 26 starts for the Guardians this season. Bibee has allowed 71 runs in 150 1/3 innings (4.25 RA/9). Cantillo has allowed 62 runs in 125 2/3 innings (4.44 RA/9). Bibee, though, is 4-13, whereas Cantillo has gone 9-7. Bibee will next face the Rockies in Coors, which might lead to some run support.

    Luis Rengifo went 2-for-4 and hit his fourth homer Sunday versus the Guardians.

    The Padres got four homers today from players who had combined for 22 previously this season (15 from Gavin Sheets, three from Rengifo and Jake Cronenworth and one from Jase Bowen). Rengifo is hitting .323/.411/.473 in 27 games for the Padres. All four of his homers have come with his new team; he went without one in 57 games with the Brewers.

    The slumping Travis Bazzana went 0-for-3 against the Padres on Sunday.

    Bazzana is still drawing walks, but he’s hitting .189 with only one extra-base hit in his last 21 games, leaving him at .235/.332/.372 overall. There might be a slight chance of the Guardians sending him down at some point, clearing the way for Angel Genao to play second base regularly.

    Jake Bauers went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in the Brewers’ 6-2 win over the Dodgers on Sunday.

    The Brewers take three out of four in L.A. Bauers had three previous four-hit games in his career, but they all came in 2018 or ’19. Today’s pushed him up to .275/.384/.500 on the season. That .884 OPS is 212 points better than his career mark of .672.

    Logan Henderson limited the Dodgers to one run and three hits over seven innings in a victory Sunday.

    The Brewers probably could have had Tarik Skubal if they were willing to send Henderson to Detroit, but the right-hander again demonstrated today why that would have been a bad idea. It might not be totally correct to say Henderson outdueled Skubal today — one got good defensive support and one didn’t — but he did come away with the win in the matchup. Henderson still hasn’t allowed more than three runs in any of his 12 starts this year. He’ll take a 7-2 record and a 2.70 ERA into his next start versus the Braves.

    Tarik Skubal took a loss to the Brewers after allowing two runs — one earned — in six innings Sunday.

    Skubal gave up seven hits and nine hard-hit balls, but he struck out seven and was let down by his defense a couple of times in the game. He’s now 0-2 for the Dodgers, even though he has a 3.18 ERA in his three starts. He’ll face the Pirates next weekend.

    Jackson Chourio had three hits, including two doubles, and three runs scored Sunday against the Dodgers.

    The second double should have been an out at Miller Park, as it went off Kyle Tucker’s glove at the wall in right. However, it also would have been a homer in 23 ballparks, according to Statcast. Chourio snapped out of a little 2-for-19 skid today. It’s the third time this year that he’s scored three runs in a game.

    After getting Saturday off, Kyle Tucker went 0-for-3 and committed a miscue in right field that led to two runs in Sunday’s loss to the Brewers.

    With the Dodgers down 4-1 in the ninth, Tucker struggled with the sun on Jackson Chourio’s fly to deep right and had it go off his glove. Probably because of the sun issues, it wasn’t ruled an error, and given the score, it wasn’t particularly costly. Still, it was another brutal game for Tucker, who finished the week 0-for-19. Maybe he’ll get it together in Coors over the next three days.

    Lake Bachar started Sunday’s bullpen game for the Pirates, pitching three scoreless innings while striking out four.

    Bachar allowed two hits and one walk while filling in for Paul Skenes, who was pushed back to Wednesday. This was Bachar’s fifth start of the season, with the other four coming as a bulk opener for the Marlins before he was dealt ahead of the deadline.
