Dodgers Bring Back Kiké Hernández as Espinal Hits DFA

The Los Angeles Dodgers reinstated Kiké Hernández from the 60-day injured list and designated Santiago Espinal for assignment to clear a roster spot. Hernández returns on a one-year, $4.5 million contract after elbow surgery, offering versatility and a chance to rebound after a down offensive stretch. Espinal, who joined on a minor deal and appeared in 26 games this spring, now enters DFA waivers; a trade could occur, or he could reject an outright assignment if no deal materializes given his service time.

Tigers DFA Zack Short as McKinstry Returns to Active Roster

Detroit designated Zack Short for assignment after reinstating Zach McKinstry from the 10-day IL. Short had been added to address injuries in a glove-first role and went 0-for-3. With McKinstry back, Short heads to DFA waivers, a process that could take about 48 hours before potential trade interest or free agency. The Tigers’ infield depth remains thin but they recently added Paul DeJong on a minor-league deal and McKinstry can resume his multi-positional role as Báez, Sweeney, and others recover.

Marlins DFA Chris Paddack; Kempner Set for MLB Debut

The Miami Marlins designated veteran pitcher Chris Paddack for assignment after a tough return to the organization, with reliever William Kempner being recalled and set to make his MLB debut. Paddack, signed for $4 million on a one-year deal, struggled to a 7.63 ERA in 30 2/3 innings this season, and Miami will have five days to trade, release, or place him on waivers. Kempner, a former top prospect, provides a fresh arm for the bullpen as the Marlins consider options like Braxton Garrett and Robby Snelling to fill the rotation.

Brewers Designate Greg Jones as Chourio, Vaughn Return Boosts Lineup

Milwaukee reinstated Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn from the 10-day IL; in corresponding moves, Blake Perkins was optioned to Triple-A Nashville and Greg Jones was designated for assignment. Jones went 2-for-21 with a walk and nine strikeouts in 22 plate appearances. The Brewers have five days to trade, release, or place him on outright waivers; if unclaimed, he’ll be outrighted to Nashville. Chourio and Vaughn’s return should bolster an offense that’s been volatile in recent weeks.

Pirates Move Valdez to Triple-A as Infield Logjam Intensifies

The Pirates outrighted Enmanuel Valdez to Triple-A Indianapolis after he cleared waivers following a designation for assignment, as infield depth solidifies with Spencer Horwitz at first and Konnor Griffin at short; Valdez will remain in Indianapolis and could pursue minor league free agency at season’s end if not added back to the 40-man roster.

Reds DFA Candelario, forgoing $22.5M remaining on contract

The Cincinnati Reds have designated infielder Jeimer Candelario for assignment after a poor performance and injury struggles, likely ending his time with the team. Despite a lucrative three-year deal, his recent stats have been disappointing, and he may now become a free agent, with other teams potentially interested in taking a chance on his past potential.

Mets DFA Jorge Lopez after glove toss and harsh comments

The New York Mets are expected to designate reliever Jorge Lopez for assignment after he threw his glove into the stands and made controversial comments following a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lopez, who has had a solid season with a 3.12 ERA, expressed frustration by calling the Mets "the worst team in the whole f—cking MLB," though he later clarified he meant he was the "worst teammate." The Mets' recent struggles have added to the tension, but they are not statistically the worst team in baseball.

"Julio Teheran Released by Mets After Disappointing Debut"

The New York Mets have designated veteran pitcher Julio Teheran for assignment after just one start, in which he allowed four runs in 2 ⅔ innings. This move comes after Teheran signed a major league contract with the Mets last week to fill in for an injured pitcher. In a corresponding move, the Mets called up Dedniel Núñez from Triple-A Syracuse.

"Brewers Finalize Roster with Designation of Eric Haase and Recall of Oliver Dunn"

Despite an impressive spring training performance, catcher Eric Haase has been designated for assignment by the Brewers due to the team's decision to carry William Contreras and Gary Sanchez as its two catchers. Haase's outstanding performance in camp made the decision difficult for the Brewers, but the team ultimately opted to go with other options. With his outfield experience, Haase could attract interest from catching-needy clubs like the Rays and Marlins as he now faces the possibility of being traded, passing through outright waivers, or released within the next seven days.
