The 25-year-old spent the first seven seasons of his minor league career in the Braves’ organization. In 2019, he slashed .203/.332/.285 with four homers, 23 RBI and 28 stolen bases in 114 games at Double-A Mississippi. He’ll serve as outfield depth in the minor leagues for the Padres.

Bolton cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Astros on Monday. He could elect free agency, but is just as likely — if not more so — to remain in Triple-A with Houston.

Murray is getting the boot from the active roster and will be replaced by Alimber Santa on Friday. Murray will likely be up-and-down for the remainder of 2026.

McCambley has pitched well in Triple-A Jacksonville with a 2.36 ERA over 26 2/3 innings, but it’s worth noting he’s walked 17 batters in that timeframe against 32 strikeouts. The 27-year-old has a good chance of getting an opportunity with the Cincinnati staff in 2026.

Hinds was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Sunday, and he’ll get a chance to revitalize his career in Miami. The 25-year-old has been awful in 2026 with an 18/1 K/BB and a .121/.161/.212 slash, but he has shown flashes of brilliance in previous seasons. Still, it’s hard to have much faith in him as a fantasy option if/when he gets a call.

Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said that Jones would make “at least one” more start, but he is eligible to come off the injured list on May 25th. He threw only 52 pitches in his last outing, so the team would likely try to push him closer to 65 on Saturday, and then he could return with a pitch count around 75 pitches. However, it doesn’t seem like the Pirates feel they have to rush him back. His return could depend on how he pitches on Saturday and how other Pirates starters, like Carmen Mlodzinski, look over the weekend. Regardless, we’re only one or two weeks away from Jones returning, so now is the time to stash him in fantasy leagues.

Beeter has been sidelined since April 26th due to forearm soreness, but all his imaging came back clean. He began a rehab assignment last week and is now ready to return to his late-inning role. Before the injury, Beeter had posted a 3.48 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and a 9/8 K/BB ratio over his first 10 1/3 innings while notching a pair of saves. Since he has been hurt, Richard Lovelady has recorded three saves and been a solid late-innings option for the Nationals as well. It would be likely that the two would form some sort of tandem in the short term.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that Puk was sitting in the mid-90s with his fastball and “felt good coming out of the session.” We’d imagine he would face live hitters maybe once more before going out on a rehab assignment, but the left-hander could be back with the Diamondbacks in early June. We can’t see the team simply removing Paul Sewald from the closer’s role, but it could be more of a committe with Puk back in the mix.

It looks like the Rockies want their starters to have an extra day off this week. Zach Agnos will start against the D-backs in a bullpen game on Thursday.

Soderstrom plated automatic runner Nick Kurtz in the 10th with a fly that dropped in front of Mike Trout and Josh Lowe in left-center. It looked like Trout might try to dive for it, but he wouldn’t have had much of a chance, and as he crossed in front of Lowe, the ball got by Lowe for a two-base error. Soderstrom is now up to 23 RBI in 46 for the season.

Civale gave up homers of 432, 419 and 426 feet before the second inning ended, but he did manage to keep the Angels scoreless for three innings afterwards and give the A’s a chance to come back, which they did in a 10-inning victory. Civale was actually at just 61 pitches when he was pulled; he threw a total of 21 pitches in his final three frames. He’s given up nine homers but just 19 total runs in his first 10 starts, leaving him 5-1 with a 3.30 ERA. He’ll face the Mariners next week.
