Latest Player News

All Player News

Luis Guillorme

ATL Second Baseman #15

Angels acquired INF Luis Guillorme from the Braves in exchange for a player to be named later.

The trade is now official, but still no word what the Braves are getting in return. The trade comes as the Angels transferred Anthony Rendon to the 60-day injured list, so it appears Guillorme will get some run at the hot corner for Los Angeles.
Matt Barnes

WAS Relief Pitcher #41

Nationals outright RHP Matt Barnes to Triple-A Rochester.

Barnes cleared waivers and he’ll stay within the Nationals organization at the Triple-A level. The 33-year-old has posted a 6.75 ERA, 1.50 WHIP with a 10/4 K/BB ratio across 13 1/3 innings this season with Washington.
Eduardo Rodriguez

ARI Starting Pitcher #57

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Eduardo Rodgriguez (lat) is close to beginning a throwing program.

Good news for the 31-year-old hurler. Lovullo also added that an MRI on Rodriguez’s lat is healing, but he’s still likely a month or so away from making his season debut.
Anthony Rendon

LAA Third Baseman #6

Angels transferred Anthony Rendon (hamstring) to the 60-day injured list.

The 33-year-old veteran will miss an extended period of time after he suffered a hamstring injury a few weeks ago. The Angels are reportedly bringing in Luis Guillorme so it looks like he’ll take some reps at the hot corner as well as Miguel Sano, Luis Rengifo and Ehire Adrianza.
Luis Guillorme

LAA Second Baseman #15

Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase reports that the Angels are acquiring Luis Guillorme from the Braves.

The 29-year-old infielder signed a one-year deal with Atlanta in the offseason and only appeared in 10 games for the Braves this season slashing .150/.190/.250 with three RBI. It has not been reported what the Braves are getting in return for Guillorme, but he’ll be additional infield depth for the Angels this season.
Michael Conforto

SF Left Fielder #8

Michael Conforto went 3-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and a walk on Wednesday in an 8-6 win over the Rockies.

Conforto put the Giants on the board with a solo homer off Peter Lambert to lead off the second inning. It was the start of a six-run inning as the Giants hit around the order. Conforto added a base hit later in the same inning, then drew a walk and scored in the seventh. The 31-year-old outfielder is slashing .267/.317/.467 with six homers, 18 runs scored, and 19 RBI across 145 plate appearances.
Elias Diaz

COL Catcher #35

Elias Díaz went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI against the Giants on Wednesday.

Díaz brought a run in to score with a base hit in the fifth inning. With a runner on and two outs in the ninth, he brought the Rockies to within two with a home run off Camilo Doval. The 33-year-old catcher is slashing a solid .303/.354/.435 with three homers and 18 RBI across 127 plate appearances.
Jordan Hicks

SF Starting Pitcher #12

Jordan Hicks allowed three runs with five strikeouts over five innings in a win over the Rockies on Wednesday.

After a clean first inning, a triple and a wild pitch brought the first run in to score for the Rockies in the second. Hicks ran into more trouble in the fifth, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk. His day was done after five frames on 92 pitches. He struck out five. The 27-year-old right-hander has enjoyed an early breakout as a starter, posting a 2.30 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and a 35/16 K/BB ratio across 43 innings. Hicks will take on the Dodgers in San Francisco on Monday.
Peter Lambert

COL Starting Pitcher #20

Peter Lambert allowed seven runs over three innings in a loss to the Giants on Wednesday.

Lambert’s outing lasted just three innings as he was hit for seven runs. Six of those runs came in the second, starting with a solo homer by Michael Conforto to lead off the frame. The Giants would bat around the order before Lambert could escape the inning. Two hits in the third would bring in a seventh run. Lambert ends the day with a 7.61 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, and a 20/9 K/BB ratio across 23 2/3 innings. He lines up for a start against the Padres in San Diego on Monday.
Danny Duffy

FA Starting Pitcher #24

Rangers released LHP Danny Duffy.

The 35-year-old southpaw had been stationed at Triple-A Round Rock where he posted a 5.50 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and a 17/17 K/BB ratio over 18 innings. Duffy hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since the 2021 season with the Royals. It’s unclear if he has another opportunity lined up already, or if he even plans on seeking one.
