Pirates signed OF Dominic Fletcher to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Fletcher first appeared on fantasy radars in 2023 with an intriguing debut with the Diamondbacks. He spent the last two years with the White Sox and failed to produce at the MLB level, but did hit .260/.317/.453 with 17 home runs and seven steals in 105 games at Triple-A. Perhaps the 28-year-old can emerge as a fourth outfielder in Pittsburgh.

Cubs optioned RHP Javier Assad to Triple-A Iowa.

With Daniel Palencia (elbow) returning from the injured list on Friday, the Cubs needed to free up a roster spot and once again Assad became a luxury that they couldn’t afford. David Peterson will take over the spot in the Cubs’ rotation that was vacated by the injury to Edward Cabrera.

Cubs activated RHP Daniel Palencia from the 60-day injured list.

At long last, the Cubs’ closer has returned. Palencia has been sidelined since mid-June due to an elbow issue. He returns to a 2.70 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 19/6 K/BB ratio over 16 2/3 innings through his first 19 appearances on the season. He should jump right back in as the Cubs’ primary closer.

Cubs designated INF Owen Miller for assignment.

The Cubs needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the return of Daniel Palencia on Friday and unfortunately for Miller he was the odd man out. It’s possible that the 29-year-old infielder could attract interest on waivers.

Mariners transferred RHP Matt Brash to the 60-day injured list.

Nothing has changed in the prognosis for Brash, who is finally nearing a return from a lat strain that has had him shelved since early June, this was done simply as a procedural move to free up a spot on the club’s 40-man roster for Carlos Vargas to join the bullpen on Friday.

Mariners optioned RHP Nick Davila to Triple-A Tacoma.

With Carlos Vargas set to join the Mariners’ bullpen on Friday, someone needed to get sent out to create a spot and unfortunately Davila drew the short straw this time. The 27-year-old righty holds a 4.10 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 13/11 K/BB ratio over 26 1/3 innings in 23 appearances with the M’s this season.

Mariners activated RHP Carlos Vargas from the 60-day injured list.

The 26-year-old right-hander has been sidelined since spring training due to a right lat strain and is finally ready to contribute to the Mariners’ bullpen. Nick Davila was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move to clear a spot on the club’s active roster.

Jake Mangum is not in the Pirates’ starting lineup for Friday night’s contest against the Dodgers.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine night off for the 30-year-old outfielder. Bryan Reynolds will cover left field in his place while Brandon Lowe functions as the team’s designated hitter against Dodgers’ right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Jacob Misiorowski shut out the Braves for six innings in the Brewers’ 2-1 win Friday.

Misiorowski didn’t have his absolute best stuff today, averaging a mere 100.1 mph with his fastball, and recorded just six strikeouts for the second straight start. Still, he moved to 13-5 with a 1.68 ERA with his seventh scoreless start of the year. Unless the Brewers adjust their six-man rotation and move him up to Thursday against the Mets, he’ll face the Rangers at home next Friday.

Trevor Megill pitched a scoreless ninth Friday against the Braves for his 24th save.

Megill’s nine-appearance hitless streak was snapped today with Mike Yastrzemski’s two-out single, but he followed that with a strikeout of Ronald Acuña Jr. to end the game. He’ll probably need Saturday off after working the last two days, potentially opening up a save chance for Aaron Ashby.

Chris Sale lost to the Brewers after allowing two runs in six innings on Friday.

It’s the second straight outing in which Sale has gotten zero run support, and the left-hander fell to 0-3 in August despite turning in quality starts each time out. He’ll take a 12-9 record and a 2.20 ERA into his next turn at home against the Rockies.
