This move officially clears out a 40-man roster spot for Brayan Bello, who is scheduled to make his MLB debut in a start Wednesday against the Rays. Robles allowed one earned run on a hit and two walks in a one-inning relief appearance Tuesday night versus Tampa Bay. He will now slide into DFA limbo having registered an overall 5.84 ERA across 26 total appearances this season with Boston.

Arroyo took Jose Urquidy deep in the first inning for his ninth home run of the season. It also gives him 30 RBI to go along with a .348 batting average and a 1.025 OPS. Oh, and those two steals also give him seven on the season. It may seem like Edwin Arroyo has been around a while because he was a major part of the Luis Castillo trade four years ago, but Arroyo is just 22 years old. His time in Cincinnati is coming very soon.

Jump had thrown four scoreless innings while striking out six, but he landed awkwardly on his plant leg and seemed to tweak something. He was fighting to stay in the game, but his four-seam fastball velocity went from 95 mph down to 91 after the potential injury, so the team removed him from the game. It may just be precautionary, but we’ll have to wait for word.

That extends Carrigg’s hitting streak to 14 games, and he has a hit in 21 of his last 22 games. On the season, the 24-year-old is hitting .367/.420/.557 with four home runs, 34 RBI, 26 steals, and a 24/13 K/BB ratio. He hit 15 home runs and stole 46 bases in Double-A last year, but the batting average was not good. This season, Carrigg is pulling the ball more often and hitting it on the ground 12 percent more often, making good use of his speed. He’s also improved his contact rate by 10 percent and cut his swinging strike rate down to nine percent. If these gains hold, he could be a major asset in Coors Field for batting average and stolen bases when he gets his chance.

It’s just another brutal turn for the 26-year-old. Berroa had Tommy John surgery in March of 2025 and was pitching in a game for the first time in over 15 months. He threw four pitches, all balls, and then was removed from the game with an injury. We don’t have any updates on the nature or extent of the injury yet, but it’s certainly not how anybody wanted his first rehab game to go.

While Polanco initially went on the injured list with a wrist issue, the Achilles problem happened first and has lingered. It also seems to be the bigger hindrance to this return right now, as Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said that Polanco’s Achilles tendon needs to be “asymptomatic” before knowing when he’ll be back. Polanco is performing some baseball activities, like taking batting practice, but there is no timeline for his return right now.

Wynn was designated for assignment by the Athletics last week and went through waivers unclaimed. He was just 3-for-39 to start the season and will look for a fresh start with a new organization.

Grichuk got the White Sox on the board with a go-ahead, 401-foot (108.5 mph EV) two-run blast in the opening inning, giving the White Sox a lead that they would never relinquish. He then strolled to the dish with the bases loaded in the third inning and added a two-run single that pushed the Sox’ advantage to 4-1. With his two-hit night, the 34-year-old lefty masher is now slashing .234/.260/.511 with three homers and nine RBI on the season.

Newcomb came on with the White Sox leading 6-3 in the eighth inning and despite allowing a leadoff single to Salvador Perez, managed to work a scoreless inning on just nine total pitches. He then returned for the ninth inning after the White Sox tacked on a run in the home half of the eighth, where he retired to side to send the White Sox’ faithful home happy. He has been a valuable addition to the White Sox’ bullpen this season, posting a strong 2.81 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 24/8 K/BB ratio across 25 2/3 innings.

The 31-year-old southpaw struck out four batters on the night while issuing two free passes. The Royals scratched out a run against him in the opening inning, then Kay blanked them until the seventh where he exited after allowing a leadoff triple to Kyle Isbel. Kay got 10 whiffs on 97 offerings on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. Now 3-1 on the season, he’ll carry a 4.61 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and a 29/19 K/BB ratio (41 innings) into Tuesday’s matchup against the Mariners in Seattle. He remains nothing more than a fringe streaming option in deeper mixed leagues.

Perez smacked a two-out single off of Anthony Kay in the third inning but never advanced beyond first base. He also led off the eighth inning with a single off of Sean Newcomb but the Royals couldn’t cash him in. The 36-year-old backstop has picked it up a bit offensively following a miserable start to the season and is now slashing .200/.239/.339 with six long balls and 18 RBI in 176 plate appearances on the season.
