53-Man Roster Countdown: Key Dates and Rules Ahead of NFL Cutdown Day

NFL teams must trim to a 53-player active roster by 3 p.m. PT on Aug. 30, with ongoing adjustments after that; players with fewer than four accrued seasons go through waivers (claims due by 10 a.m. PT on Aug. 31) while players with four or more seasons are released.

Cubs Overhaul Rotation With Deadline Additions

Cubs reload their rotation and roster at the trade deadline, adding Kevin Gausman, Clay Holmes, Braxton Garrett and Tyrone Taylor (with Zeferjahn arriving and Ballesteros leaving) and reshaping the 40-man and active roster. The projected lineup features two catchers (Amaya, Kelly), six infielders (Hoerner, Swanson, Bregman, Ramirez, Triantos, Busch), five outfielders (Suzuki, Crow-Armstrong, Happ, Taylor, Conforto), five starting pitchers (Assad, Boyd, Gausman, Imanaga, Peterson) and eight relievers (Civale, Holmes, Rea, Rolison, Thielbar, Thornton, Webb, Zeferjahn). Holmes’ role (starter or reliever) remains up in the air, and further moves like a possible DFA of Jake Woodford could occur as the Cubs finalize their active roster. Farm-system depth takes a hit with the Rojas departure, but the major-league club should be better positioned for a division race and postseason runs.

Cubs land Gausman to fuel the stretch run, plus four deadline deals

Cubs’ deadline moves center on Kevin Gausman, acquired from the Blue Jays for Brett Bateman and Ty Southisene, to fortify a battered rotation. Chicago also dealt Jameson Taillon to Toronto for a PTBNL and cash, sent Braxton Garrett to the Marlins for Jonathon Long and Jace Beck, and swapped Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor from the Mets for Jefferson Rojas. Gausman provides a two-month rental with a strong underlying performance (ERA 4.38, FIP 3.51); Taillon’s return is modest, Garrett’s deal is uncertain, and Holmes/Taylor add depth. Grades: A- for Gausman, B+ for Taillon, Incomplete for Garrett, and B for Holmes/Taylor. The piece notes Cubs’ World Series odds rose after the Gausman move.

The deal would likely require two top-100 prospects, and if Skubal returns to health, he could significantly boost Atlanta’s World Series odds, though the club historically avoids big midseason swings.
