Montgomery’s three-run shot sparks White Sox past Guardians after rain delay

Montgomery delivered a go-ahead three-run homer in the bottom of the third as the White Sox rallied for a four-run inning, then six Sox relievers held the Guardians to one run over eight innings after a 143-minute rain delay, as Chicago won 5-3. Hagen Smith contributed two scoreless frames in his MLB debut in a bullpen-day outing, while Cleveland’s pitchers combined for nine walks and Chicago drew a season-high nine walks in the game.

Venable’s mound-visit blunder fuels Guardians' 8-2 win over White Sox

White Sox manager Will Venable admitted a crucial error after an attempted mound visit to trigger an appeal backfired, prompting a pitching change and setting the stage for an 8-2 Guardians win. Noah Schultz struggled early, David Sandlin unraveled in relief to allow a grand slam by Angel Martínez as Cleveland pulled away, with Steven Kwan later padding the lead with a homer. Braden Montgomery homered for Chicago, but the Sox dropped their fourth straight as Martinez revealed he had missed first base on the pivotal play, adding to a chaotic night.

Guardians designate Arias as Angel Genao earns 40-man spot

The Cleveland Guardians designated infielder Gabriel Arias for assignment to clear a 40-man roster spot for top prospect Angel Genao. Arias, 26, has been a well-regarded prospect who never hit for average in the majors, posting a .219/.275/.359 line with a 77 wRC+ over 1,168 plate appearances since 2022, despite frequent playing time. With no options left, he will go through waivers; if unclaimed he can elect free agency, and if claimed, the new club would gain three additional years of control over him.

Reds Trade Veteran Infielder Nathaniel Lowe to Guardians for Pitching Prospect

In a deadline move, the Cincinnati Reds traded veteran infielder Nathaniel Lowe to the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for 19-year-old right-hander Alejandro Rivera. Lowe had emerged as a starter against right-handed pitching with strong numbers, while Rivera posts a 3.06 ERA across minor-league appearances. The Reds, contending with expiring contracts and a slow deadline, opted to shake up their roster but largely held onto other veterans.

Guardians Bolster Rotation with Foster Griffin Trade

The Cleveland Guardians acquired left-hander Foster Griffin from the Washington Nationals in exchange for Will Dion, Josh Hartle, Kendeglys Virguez, and Nick Mitchell, adding a veteran starter with a 3.06 ERA and 4.09 FIP this season who is a 2027 free agent. Griffin, 31, went 12-3 in 22 starts after returning from the KBO, potentially stabilizing Cleveland’s rotation as they adjust their pitching staff.

Guardians land Jo Adell, injecting lefty power from Angels

The Cleveland Guardians acquired outfielder Jo Adell from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for catching prospect Jacob Cozart, and designated Juan Brito for assignment to clear a roster spot. Adell brings left-handed power (152 wRC+ vs LHP over the past two years) but has limited production against right-handed pitching and is not a standout defender in left field; he is under team control through 2027. The move addresses the Guardians’ need vs. left-handed pitching and could pave the way for additional trades or roster tweaks.

Bunt attempt during perfect-game bid sparks benches-clearing drama in Guardians-Diamondbacks clash

Guardians beat the Diamondbacks 5-0 as Gavin Williams carried a perfect game bid into the sixth; Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa attempted a bunt, fouled it, then singled, which sparked heated chatter and a benches-clearing incident between managers Stephen Vogt and Torey Lovullo. The dispute centered on unwritten rules about bunting with a no-hit bid, while Williams later joined a rare club with five straight starts of at least 10 strikeouts and one or fewer walks. The game was paused by a rain delay as the tarp was prepared.

Tense bunt ends Gavin Williams' perfect game bid as benches clear

Guardians' Gavin Williams carried a perfect game into the sixth when Diamondbacks utility man Tim Tawa attempted a bunt for a hit, triggering confrontations with Patrick Bailey and Brayan Rocchio and a benches-clearing delay; Tawa then singled on the next pitch to end the bid. Cleveland went on to win 5-0 as Williams struck out 10 in 5 2/3 innings, part of a run of double-digit strikeouts. The D-backs defended the bunt, and no suspensions are expected as both teams stay in postseason contention.

Brewers land Naylor and Heuer from Guardians in early deadline deal

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired catcher Bo Naylor and reliever Codi Heuer from the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for relievers Craig Yoho and outfielder Blake Perkins. Naylor and Heuer will start in Milwaukee’s AAA Nashville; Yoho has a 2.15 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 15 relief appearances this season, while Perkins has batted .157 in 55 games. Naylor is a career .199 hitter, and Heuer owns a 4.66 ERA in eight appearances this year. The move adds youth and future control beyond 2026 for Milwaukee.

Guardians land Perkins and Yoho in 2-for-2 trade with Brewers

The Cleveland Guardians acquired outfielder Blake Perkins and right-hander Craig Yoho from Milwaukee in exchange for catcher Bo Naylor and right-hander Codi Heuer. Perkins provides defensive versatility in the outfield (with limited offensive impact), while Yoho has pitched solidly out of Milwaukee’s bullpen this year. Milwaukee receives Naylor and Heuer, who were optioned to Triple-A. Perkins is controllable and not yet eligible for arbitration, while Yoho isn’t arb-eligible until after 2028, giving Cleveland long-term flexibility alongside a trade that fills the Guardians’ outfield need and adds bullpen depth.

Guardians Miss on Logan Schmidt, Brewers Lose Aidan Knaak to College Route

Cleveland failed to sign their 59th overall pick Logan Schmidt by the July 27 deadline, costing the Guardians a potential 60th pick next year and keeping Schmidt from turning pro this season; Schmidt, a 6'4" high school lefty with mid-90s velocity, is LSU-committed and could re-enter the draft in 2027. Milwaukee also did not sign fifth-rounder Aidan Knaak, a Clemson right-hander who will return to college; the Brewers won’t receive a compensation pick for him. Cleveland signed all other selections, and Knaak’s situation underscores the ongoing unsettled nature of the draft-eligibility landscape as teams navigate bonuses and potential NIL considerations.}
