Brewers Bring Up Pannone to Start, Bolster Rotation

Milwaukee selected left-hander Thomas Pannone to the 40-man roster to fill the active roster spot created by optioning Garrett Stallings to Triple-A Nashville. Pannone is set to start in place of Shane Drohan as Milwaukee gives its rotation an extra day of rest; Drohan will start Friday after the off day. The 32-year-old veteran returns to the big leagues for the first time since 2023, with prior MLB experience and a recent stint in the KBO, plus 72 Triple-A innings this year. Out of options, he could be designated for assignment after this start or kept as a long man in the bullpen.

Braves release Kyle Farmer as Yastrzemski returns to anchor outfield

Braves release Kyle Farmer as Yastrzemski returns to anchor outfield

The Atlanta Braves released veteran infielder Kyle Farmer to clear a roster spot after reinstating outfielder Mike Yastrzemski from the injured list. Farmer, 35, signed a winter split-major-league deal and appeared in 12 games with 16 plate appearances (.267/.250/.333); he can elect free agency, but Atlanta chose to release him. Yastrzemski’s return strengthens the outfield alongside Acuña Jr. and Michael Harris II, while Ha-Seong Kim’s injuries keep shortstop a hole for now; internal options like Dubón and Jarvis/Mateo could shape infield duties as the outfield alignment stabilizes.

Rangers DFA McCutchen as Lopez Debuts at Second

The Texas Rangers designated Andrew McCutchen for assignment and signed utility infielder Nicky Lopez to a major-league contract, with Lopez starting at second base against the Houston Astros. McCutchen, who had a Spring Training minor-league deal and opened the season as the DH, went with a .192 average and 1 home run in 83 plate appearances, marking a fourth straight year of declining production.

Mets Activate Minter, Promote Wagaman to 40-Man Roster

The New York Mets reinstated left-hander A.J. Minter from the 60-day IL and added Eric Wagaman to the 40-man roster, while placing Tyrone Taylor on the 10-day IL and optioning Jonathan Pintaro and Nick Morabito; Wagaman has strong minor-league numbers and could bolster a bullpen that Minter will anchor after an injury-plagued stretch, as the team navigates a rough start and looming trade considerations.

Twins Activate Arcia, Option Lewis, DFA Topa in 40-Man Shuffle

The Minnesota Twins designated Justin Topa for assignment to clear 40-man space for Orlando Arcia, who is being recalled after Royce Lewis was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul following a disappointing start to 2026. Arcia, a veteran with extensive big‑league service time, will join the majors and provide infield depth as Lewis attempts to rebound from a series of injuries; Topa’s DFA creates a window for waivers or a potential trade in the next several days.

Braves Promote Jim Jarvis, Designate Jose Azocar for Assignment

The Atlanta Braves selected infielder Jim Jarvis to the majors for his first call-up and designated outfielder Jose Azocar for assignment. Jarvis has delivered strong trends in the minors, including a .308/.415/.445 start at Gwinnett with 15 steals in 153 PAs, and could add infield depth as Ha-Seong Kim returns; Azocar, who has limited minor league options, is likely to clear waivers or be traded in the coming days.

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.

Yankees DFA Grichuk to Clear Dock for Elmer Rodriguez

The New York Yankees designated veteran outfielder Randal Grichuk for assignment to create a roster spot for top pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez, with Rodriguez’s promotion now official. Grichuk has struggled this season (.194/.212/.323 in 33 PA) after a rough 2025, and the team will have five days to trade, place on waivers, or release him. If released, he can sign elsewhere. The move comes as Giancarlo Stanton goes on the IL and Max Schuemann is recalled, returning the Yankees to a 13-pitcher/13-position-player configuration and restoring bullpen balance.

Orioles DFA Huff to make room for Rutschman’s return

Baltimore designated catcher Sam Huff for assignment to clear a roster spot for Adley Rutschman, who’s back from a brief IL stint. Huff appeared in three games, going 2-for-9 with a double and an RBI. With Rutschman (and prospect Samuel Basallo) handling catching duties, the Orioles have five days to trade Huff or place him on outright waivers; if he clears, he could be outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk, though he’d have the right to reject a minor-league assignment for free agency. Huff, 28, signed a January minor-league deal and has a career .246/.299/.427 line with 12 homers in 281 MLB plate appearances, but a 36.3% strikeout rate and defensive limitations.

Mariners DFA Kowar to Clear Room for Pereda’s Catching Depth

Seattle designated reliever Jackson Kowar for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot for catcher Jhonny Pereda, who was acquired from Minnesota for cash considerations. Kowar, a 29-year-old former Royals first-round pick, has struggled in the majors (roughly 8.21 ERA in 91 MLB innings) and is out of options after a injury‑plagued Mariners stint that included Tommy John surgery and a shoulder impingement. Pereda, a well-traveled depth catcher with strong minor-league numbers and solid defense, provides catching depth behind Cal Raleigh, with Andrew Knizner signed to back him up and a Triple-A option available. The move comes as Seattle reshuffles the roster following the trade that sent Harry Ford away and reduced other catching options on the 40-man roster.
