The Rays acquired Suwinski and international bonus pool space from the Dodgers on Monday in exchange for catcher Hunter Feduccia and right-hander Jacob Kmatz.

Tampa Bay should be a welcome change of scenery for Suwinski, as he was unlikely to receive an opportunity in the big leagues with the Dodgers anytime soon. The 28-year-old outfielder has slashed .291/.386/.562 with 21 home runs and a 22.1 percent strikeout rate in 93 games in the Pacific Coast League this season.

Cleveland optioned Fry to Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

With the new additions of Nathaniel Lowe and Jo Adell during Monday's trade deadline, Fry will move to Columbus. On the campaign, the 30-year-old has slashed just .182/.304/.336 with six homers and 13 RBI in 168 plate appearances. Fry will join the Triple-A squad for the first time this season.

The Orioles acquired Franklin from the Nationals on Monday in exchange for right-hander Joe Glassey, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Franklin is on the 40-man roster and has been a league-average performer (101 wRC+) in 93 games at Triple-A as a 26-year-old. He has plus speed and good defensive chops and will hope to eventually carve out time as a reserve outfielder. Franklin was traded from the Cubs to the Nationals at last year's deadline.

The Red Sox acquired Gutierrez and left-hander Erik Miller to the Giants on Monday in exchange for infielder Marcelo Mayer (forearm).

A 21-year-old outfielder, Gutierrez is slashing .271/.385/.441 with nine home runs, 26 steals and a 19.6 percent strikeout rate in 83 games at High-A. Despite his high stolen-base total, Gutierrez likely projects as a left fielder at the big-league level, so he needs to continue producing to have a shot as an everyday player.

Boston acquired White from Atlanta on Monday in exchange for right-hander Tyler Uberstine, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

White has largely served as a short-side platoon player in the Atlanta outfield this season, slashing .233/.285/.406 with five home runs and four stolen bases across 144 plate appearances. He'll likely fill a similar role in Boston, where he could replace the left-handed-hitting Jarren Duran in left field when the Red Sox face left-handed pitchers. White is under team control through the 2028 season.

The Yankees acquired Ramos from the Giants on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

The Yankees were seeking a right-handed-hitting bat and have landed one in Ramos, who has slashed .292/.343/.492 against left-handed pitching this season. The downside with Ramos is that he's hit only .256/.292/.404 in 2026 versus righties, and he's regarded as a poor defensive outfielder. Ramos will be under team control through 2029.

The Astros acquired Varsho and cash considerations from the Blue Jays on Monday in exchange for Spencer Arrighetti (foot).

The Astros have been desperate for outfield help and have landed on Varsho, who is slashing a disappointing .243/.307/.375 with seven home runs, nine stolen bases and a 29:71 BB:K over 99 games this season. The impending free agent had an .833 OPS with 20 home runs in just 71 games last season, and he's among the better defensive center fielders in the game.

The Yankees optioned Schuemann to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

New York needed to clear room on the 26-man active roster for trade-deadline acquisition Luis Garcia, and Schuemann ended up being the casuality. Schuemann has put up a .694 OPS in 40 games as a utility player for the Yankees this season.

The Orioles acquired Azocar, right-handers Anthony Eyanson and Kyson Witherspoon, catcher Carlos Narvaez and a player to be named from the Red Sox on Monday in exchange for catchers Adley Rutschman, Jake Rogers and cash, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Narvaez is the only big-league player headed back to Baltimore in the deal, but the trio of Azocar, Eyanson and Witherspoon -- three of the top prospects in Boston's system -- represents a massive return for Rutschman. A 19-year-old outfielder, Azocar packs a good deal of power into his 6-foot-2, 168-pound frame and has slugged 18 home runs over 399 plate appearances between Single-A Salem and High-A Greenville. He's also chipped in 10 steals in 12 attempts, though he doesn't project to be a major difference-maker in that category by the time he reaches the big leagues.

The White Sox acquired Doyle from the Rockies on Monday in exchange for right-hander Mason Adams and infielder Carlos Vielma, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

According to Rosenthal, both teams are reviewing the medicals of all players involved in the deal before completing the trade, but barring any snags, Doyle will head to Chicago, where he should settle in as a fourth outfielder. Since supplying a .763 OPS with 23 home runs and 30 steals in 149 games for the Rockies in 2024, Doyle's offensive production has taken a major step back over the past two seasons while his strikeout rate has climbed. That said, the two-time Gold Glove Award winner still provides strong defense in center field, and his right-handedness will bring more balance to a Chicago outfield that features three left-handed bats in Sam Antonacci, Tristan Peters and Andrew Benintendi.
