Pirates reassigned IF Termarr Johnson, C Derek Berg, IF Nick Cimillio, LHP Nick Dombkowski, IF Duce Gourson, LHP Oddanier Mosqueda, OF Ronny Simon and IF Davis Wendzel to minor league camp.

Johnson was 7-for-19 in Spring Training with no homers or stolen bases, leaving him as a career .327/.411/.531 hitter in three years in big league camp. After hitting .272/.363/.382 for Double A Altoona last year as a 21-year-old, he’ll likely head to Triple-A Indianapolis in 2026.

Red Sox designated RHP Ryan Watson for assignment.

Watson is essentially the odd-man out in a roster crunch after the Red Sox picked up reliever Erik Miller from the Giants at the trade deadline. The 28-year-old has delivered a respectable 4.53 ERA across 55 2/3 innings in his first shot at the highest level. There should be some interest on waivers.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro told reporters Luinder Avila and Stephen Kolek will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgeries.

It’s a massive hit to Kansas City’s rotation depth beyond just the current season. Avila emerged as a decent back-end rotation stabilizer before hitting the injured list with forearm tightness over the weekend. Given the timing of the procedures, fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate either Avila or Kolek returning until the 2028 campaign.

Carlos Rodón (elbow) will make his first minor league rehab start on Saturday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Rodón is finally ready to return to game action after working his way back from elbow inflammation that put him on the injured list back in early July. The 33-year-old southpaw will likely need a handful of outings before he’s an option for New York’s rotation mix later this month.

Christian Yelich hitting seventh on Tuesday against the Pirates

Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters they’re moving Yelich down in an effort to generate a spark and get things trending in a different direction. It’ll be Jake Bauers moving up to the third spot in front of cleanup hitter William Contreras to face Pirates starter Jared Jones. Yelich has been ice-cold since last month’s All-Star break, hitting .192 (10-for-52) with one homer in 13 games.

Diamondbacks placed C Gabriel Moreno on the paternity list.

Moreno will be away from the club for a couple days on paternity leave. The 26-year-old backstop has consistently batted in the heart of Arizona’s lineup, slashing .298/.380/.438 with eight homers, 47 RBI and four steals in 350 plate appearances this season. It feels strange to call him underrated, but Moreno has graded out as a top-10 fantasy catcher so far.
