Blue Jays acquired C/3B Ryan Sprock from the Twins for RHP Tommy Nance and international bonus pool money.

Sprock, 21, was an eighth-round selection by the Twins from the 2025 draft class. He started the year at Single-A Fort Myers where he slashed an impressive .306/.436/.441 with five homers, 37 RBI and a 31/49 K/BB ratio in 280 plate appearances, earning a promotion to High-A Cedar Rapids. He makes for an intriguing addition for the Jays.

Twins acquired RHP Tommy Nance and international bonus pool money from the Blue Jays for C/3B Ryan Sprock.

The Twins were in the market for some bullpen help as they’re trying to fight for a Wild Card berth in the American League. Nance, 35, posted a 3.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and a 34/13 K/BB ratio over 33 innings in 32 appearances with the Jays this season. He’ll help to bolster the back end of the Twins’ bullpen.

Phillies released OF Dylan Carlson.

The 27-year-old former top prospect had been stationed at Triple-A Lehigh Valley after signing a minor league deal in mid-May. He struggled there, slashing a putrid .181/.307/.307 with four homers and 18 RBI in 153 plate appearances over 40 games. He’ll look to latch on elsewhere on a minor league pact.

Tigers’ manager A.J. Hinch told reporters on Friday that right-hander Will Vest has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right elbow.

Hinch noted that no surgery is expected to be needed, just extra rest and recovery time. The Tigers are still hopeful that Vest will be able to rejoin the bullpen at some point before the regular season concludes. If he is able to return, it probably won’t be until late August or early September.

KC Starting Pitcher #35

Royals signed RHP Vince Velasquez to a minor league contract.

The 34-year-old righty elected free agency at the end of June rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Iowa from the Cubs. He adds extra pitching depth for the Royals and should get an opportunity with the big league club in relatively short order.

Diamondbacks recalled OF Ryan Waldschmidt from Triple-A Reno.

As anticipated, Waldschmidt gets another opportunity with the big league club with Pavin Smith being designated for assignment on Friday. The 23-year-old has focused on cutting down his strikeout rate at the Triple-A level, and if that can translate with the Diamondbacks he could hit wind up having some mixed league viability, especially with his upside in the stolen base department.

Diamondbacks designated 1B/OF Pavin Smith for assignment.

Diamondbacks’ fans have been clamoring for this move for months as Smith has struggled to a horrifying .141/.236/.192 slash line with just one homer, six RBI and an 18/10 K/BB ratio over 89 plate appearances. It’s possible that he could attract some attention on waivers. Ryan Waldschmidt was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move to take his spot on the Diamondbacks’ roster.

Astros designated INF Braden Shewmake for assignment.

Shewmake was just activated from the injured list on Monday and now he loses his spot on the roster to accommodate the return of shortstop Jeremy Peña. He has proven to be a capable reserve infielder, which could be enough to pique another team’s interest on waivers.

Bo Bichette is not in the Mets’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Red Sox.

It’s nothing more than a routine night off for the 28-year-old infielder. Brett Baty will slide over and cover the hot corner while Zack Short draws a rare start at second base and will bat ninth for the Mets against Red Sox’ right-hander Sonny Gray on Friday evening in New York — assuming that the Red Sox eventually arrive.
