- Angels Designate Akeel Morris For Assignment August 15, 2018The Angels announced that they’ve reinstated catcher Rene Rivera from the 60-day DL and opened a 40-man roster spot by designating right-hander Akeel Morris for assignment. The Halos optioned catcher Jose Briceno to Triple-A to open room on the 25-man roster. It’s been a tough season for the 25-year-old Morris both in the Majors and…
- Royals Release Blaine Boyer, Promote Jorge Lopez August 15, 2018The Royals have placed right-handed reliever Blaine Boyer on release waivers, per a club announcement. Boyer’s release will clear a spot on the roster for the promotion of right-hander Jorge Lopez. Technically, Boyer’s release won’t be official until he clears waivers in 48 hours. Other clubs will have the opportunity to claim him off release…

- Orioles Release Danny Valencia August 15, 2018The Orioles announced today that they have released veteran infielder/outfielder Danny Valencia. He had been designated for assignment recently. Clearly, the O’s weren’t able to find a taker for any of the remainder of Valencia’s $1.2MM salary. Some of that could still be offset at the league-minimum rate, if Valencia catches on elsewhere. While he’s… […]
- Cubs Acquire Terrance Gore August 15, 2018The Cubs have acquired outfielder Terrance Gore from the Royals, per an announcement from the Kansas City organization. Cash considerations will head back in return. Gore, 27, will presumably reprise his role as a late-season/postseason threat on the bases.

- Brandon McCarthy To Retire At Season’s End August 15, 2018Veteran righty Brandon McCarthy says he’ll wrap up his playing career at the end of the season, MLB.com’s Mark Bowman writes.

- Brandon Beachy Signs With Atlantic League’s New Britain Bees August 15, 2018The New Britain Bees of the independent Atlantic League announced today that they’ve signed right-hander Brandon Beachy. It’ll be the first professional action for Beachy since he tossed one lone inning with the Dodgers’ Rookie-level affiliate in 2016. Once a rising star with the Braves earlier this decade, Beachy’s promising career was derailed by a… […]
- Angels Select Taylor Ward August 14, 20186:06pm: The Angels announced that outfielder Chris Young was transferred from the 10-day DL to the 60-day DL to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Ward.
