Player News
Pirates acquired Cs Edgleen Perez and Rafael Flores and OF Brian Sanchez from the Yankees for RHP David Bednar.
Perez, a 19-year-old backstop out of Venezuela, has slashed .209/.368/.236 with zero homers, 26 RBI, five stolen bases and a 74/68 K/BB ratio over 380 plate appearances at Single-A Tampa this season. Perez was ranked as the 14th best prospect in the Yankees’ system according to MLB Pipeline.
Trent Thornton will undergo an MRI on Friday after suffering an Achilles injury during Thursday’s game.
Thornton was hurt on his first move to go cover first base on a grounder during Thursday’s game. He’ll almost certainly go on the injured list prior to Friday’s game.
Pirates acquired Cs Rafael Flores and Edgleen Perez and OF Brian Sanchez from the Yankees for RHP David Bednar.
Flores is having another strong season at the dish, slashing .279/.351/.475 with 16 long balls, 60 RBI and six stolen bases in 419 plate appearances between Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He’ll likely report to Triple-A Indianapolis and could see a cup of coffee with the Pirates before the 2025 season comes to a close.
Yankees acquired RHP David Bednar from the Pirates for Cs Rafael Flores and Edgleen Perez and OF Brian Sanchez.
It’s a tough landing spot from a fantasy perspective as Bednar is unlikely to close games for the Yankees with Devin Williams entrenched in that role for the time being. Expect the 30-year-old right-hander to function in a setup capacity alongside Luke Weaver and Camilo Doval in what is quickly becoming one of the most fearsome units in all of baseball.
Padres designated 1B/OF Trenton Brooks for assignment.
The Padres needed to make a flurry of roster moves to accommodate all of their trade deadline acquisitions, which meant that Brooks became an unfortunate roster casualty. The 30-year-old hit just .146/.186/.268 with a homer, two RBI and a 13/2 K/BB ratio over 43 plate appearances with the Padres this season. It’s possible he could pique another team’s interest on waivers.
Padres designated C Martin Maldonado for assignment.
After Thursday’s acquisition of Freddy Fermin from the Royals, unfortunately Maldonado became expendable. The 38-year-old backstop slashed an uninspiring .204/.245/.327 with four home runs and 12 RBI in 161 plate appearances for the Padres this season. It’s possible that this could be the end of the line for him.
