| Braves Bring In Santana for Depth | 28 Jun 2026 | 00:01:28 | |
Atlanta Braves are bringing in veteran first baseman Carlos Santana on a minor league deal after Arizona Diamondbacks released him—despite his rough 2024 season sidelined by injury.

| Morel Released, But Still Has Value | 28 Jun 2026 | 00:01:12 | |
Christopher Morel’s Marlins stint is over after being released unclaimed on waivers, leaving him a free agent with $2M still on his contract. His recent performance was dismal—just .162 in 22 games, 40% K rate, no homers, and chasing bad pitches—but he showed defensive promise at first base. At just 27, with 21 homers last season, he’s still a potential low-risk pickup for another team.

Sammy Peralta, the lefty who made his MLB debut as an opener for the Rockies, is back in the Angels’ fold after turning down a minor league assignment — this time on a minor league deal with a chance to prove he’s still got major league upside. With a four-pitch arsenal and a sinker-heavy approach, Peralta brings depth to the Angels’ bullpen, even if his last stint with them ended with a high ERA. Can he rediscover his form?

| Cubs Pitching Crisis Deepens | 28 Jun 2026 | 00:01:24 | |
The Chicago Cubs are in pitching crisis mode as lefty reliever Hoby Milner goes on the 15-day IL after appendicitis surgery, expected to miss 4-6 weeks. To fill the gap, they’ve recalled Tyler Ferguson for the third time this year, though he’s only pitched a couple games. The roster shuffle continues with starters David Peterson added and Phil Maton also sidelined, joining a growing list of injured arms. Veteran Bryse Wilson is activated off waivers, while Jayden Murray is sent down to Triple-A. With so many key pitchers out, the remaining bullpen and rotation must step up — or the Cubs’ season could spiral.

With key starters sidelined and the rotation in flux, Cabrera’s inconsistency is less a red flag and more a sign of a team grasping for stability. While not yet an ace, his ability to keep games close offers the Diamondbacks a crucial lifeline as they wait for injured arms to return.

| Mozeliak Joins Angels as Interim GM | 28 Jun 2026 | 00:02:13 | |
The Angels have tapped John Mozeliak, the Cardinals’ former GM and 2011 World Series winner, as interim GM to steer them through the draft and trade deadline. Though his contract ends in December, he’s open to staying longer. Mozeliak, brought in by president Molly Jolly via mutual connection, plans to keep the current staff intact while evaluating everyone. He’ll meet with owner Arte Moreno to align on strategy, focusing on the August 3 trade deadline—potentially moving stars like Soriano, Detmers, or Neto. Jolly, in her first season, sees Mozeliak as the bridge between her business background and baseball operations, with a permanent GM likely named after the deadline. Mozeliak’s role is to build a long-term winning culture while trusting the current team to navigate immediate challenges.

| Athletics Turnaround in Sight | 27 Jun 2026 | 00:01:36 | |
The Athletics are clinging to a tight AL West race with a 42-42 record, just a game and a half behind the Mariners, and can’t afford to slip up against the Angels. While pitcher J.T. Ginn’s recent outings have been shaky, his season stats remain solid — this might just be a blip. On the bright side, the bottom of the lineup exploded offensively, with Max Muncy, Jeff McNeil, and Alika Williams delivering key hits and RBIs. And up top, Nick Kurtz and Henry Bolte have formed a dangerous 1-2 punch — Bolte’s speed and Kurtz’s power creating runs when they’re on base. If Ginn rebounds and this offensive surge continues, the A’s could be the team to beat in a stacked division.

| Crochet’s Return Could Be Game-Changer | 27 Jun 2026 | 00:01:36 | |
The Red Sox are reeling without Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony, as injuries cripple their offense and leave pitching depth as their only lifeline. Crochet, last year’s Cy Young runner-up, is inching back from a lat strain, now working on transitioning from weighted balls to real baseballs after strong rehab sessions. His pre-injury ERA was 6.30, but he’d just thrown a six-inning shutout before going down — and last year he dominated with a 2.59 ERA. The team desperately needs him back, and his cautious optimism suggests a return may be imminent.

| Carrasco’s Rollercoaster with Braves | 27 Jun 2026 | 00:01:49 | |
Braves pivot again with veteran Carlos Carrasco, signing him back on a minor-league deal after a whirlwind week of DFA, free agency, and re-signing—his fifth such cycle this season. At 39, Carrasco’s 17th MLB season sees him thriving in a bullpen role, posting a 3.68 ERA in 14⅔ innings while earning high praise from manager Walt Weiss for his character and performance. With the trade deadline looming and young arms like López and Waldrep rising, Atlanta keeps Carrasco as a flexible, reliable depth piece—no other team has claimed him, and the Braves’ roster strategy remains focused on maximizing playoff chances in the NL East.

| Pham’s Philly Move & Outfield Shuffle | 28 Jun 2026 | 00:01:18 | |
Tommy Pham, 38, just signed a minor league deal with the Phillies and can opt out July 25th — his third team in three months proves he’s hustling hard. After brief stints with the Orioles and Mets without much success, Pham still packs offensive flashes, especially last year with the Pirates, and brings solid defense in left field. With Derek Hill already heating up and prospects like Gabriel Rincones Jr. and Brandon Marsh filling outfield roles, Pham’s corner-play versatility fits Philly’s needs — especially with Kyle Schwarber locked in as DH.

| Elder vs Webb at Oracle Park | 27 Jun 2026 | 00:01:17 | |
Braves aim to rebound Saturday night as Bryce Elder, struggling with homers and ERA, takes on Giants ace Logan Webb at the hitter’s nightmare—Oracle Park. Webb’s down on strikeouts and ground balls but still lethal with his sinker and downward movement. Braves’ offense is quiet, so timely hits and a spark from guys like Drake Baldwin could be the difference. Elder’s job? Keep it close and hope the bats wake up.

Dodgers’ key players are slowly returning from injury, but timelines vary. Teoscar Hernández is hitting homers in rehab and could come back soon.
