The 26-year-old hurler made 11 appearances during his time with the Padres, posting an unappealing 6.08 ERA, 2.10 WHIP and a 15/11 K/BB ratio across 13 1/3 innings of work. A corresponding move will be made on Friday, which is expected to be the activation from the injured list of either Jeremiah Estrada or Yuki Matsui to fill the empty spot in the Padres’ bullpen.

The context of this quote is the Padres attaching Bogaerts to closer Mason Miller being a “proposition too beneficial to pass up” for San Diego should they sell at the trade deadline. Bogaerts, 34 in December, is hitting just .224/.317/.331 this season and has slugged under .400 in each of his three years with the Padres so far. It’s probably far-fetched to believe Bogaerts has any positive trade value at this point, but if the Padres really want to move on from him, attaching Miller might be the way to do it.

He’ll probably split time with Keibert Ruiz fairly evenly, so he’s not necessarily a must-roster in shallow leagues. Ford hit .223/.370/.335 in 58 games in Triple-A Rochester, but .292/.486/.542 in eight July contests that convinced the Nationals that he might be ready.

Acquired on Monday for cash considerations, Sanders holds an 8.68 ERA in nine relief appearances so far in the bigs this year. The 28-year-old never actually pitched for Norfolk, but holds a 2.96 ERA in 24 1/3 innings (17 walks, 44 strikeouts) for Triple-A Indianapolis this year. He’ll work low leverage innings for the Orioles.

The Mets have no interest in paying down Lindor’s contract and still view him as a valuable player. While Lindor wasn’t presented in the Mets list of untouchables they bandied around the league after the All-Star game, he also has a full no-trade clause and is owed $160 million after this season, making him a tough fit for most teams. Lindor reportedly wants to stay and declined comment when asked about his no-trade power during a recent conversation with The Athletic.

Holmes is seen as a “significant trade candidate” and multiple teams are expected to scout his rehab outing, per Sammon. Holmes notched a 2.39 ERA over his first nine starts of the year before fracturing his fibula on May 15. There have also been talks about the Mets potentially extending Holmes ahead of the deadline, so this will be a fluid situation to track.

It sounds like Snell is getting closer and closer to a return from a NanoScope procedure on his elbow. He’ll likely require more than one rehab start, but an August return is definitely in play for Snell based on the timing of this assignment.

He had six plate appearances during his two weeks and change on the roster, walking once. Johnson returns to a .290/.388/.489 line with the Bats in 208 plate appearances this year.

Myers has mostly been used as a platoon center fielder against left-handers this year, hitting .256/.358/.385 overall and .218/.362/.400 against southpaws. He’ll slide right back into that role.

The Yankees, looking for more offensive consistency at catcher, have also been linked to Twins C Ryan Jeffers. Goodman, who still has three years of team control remaining, would likely cost a pretty penny. It’s possible that Austin Wells could have a hot July and get the Yankees off this idea, but if not they could do much worse than Goodman, who already has 27 homers this year and has been an All-Star in both 2025 and 2026.

Ray, who will be a free agent after the season, has a 3.38 ERA in 18 starts with the Giants this year, though he has walked 52 batters in 106 2/3 innings pitched. Rogers believes Ray is “the more important player” available between Ray and Luis Arraez, implying Ray would get the Giants a better return. It certainly would make little sense for the Giants to hold on to Ray barring an extension. The 34-year-old could be the best starter available at the deadline if the Tigers opt to keep Tarik Skubal.
