Dominic Smith - 1B - Mets

Mets prospect Dominic Smith hit his 14th homer of the year on Sunday for Triple-A Las Vegas.

Smith also singled. There have not been many hitters better than Smith in the month of July, and his OPS for the month is now 1.106. He's also a solid defender at first, so no, you're not looking at a future DH. Not yet, anyway. If/when the Mets deal Lucas Duda, Smith should get the call. He's ready.

Alan Busenitz - R - Twins

Twins recalled RHP Alan Busenitz from Triple-A Rochester.

Busenitz, 26, has a 2.08 ERA over six appearances with the Twins this season. He'll operate in middle relief in his return to the big club.
Jul 24 - 1:13 PM
Craig Breslow - R - Twins

Twins designated LHP Craig Breslow for assignment.

The Twins took a shot on a retooled Breslow over the winter, but he has struggled with a 5.23 ERA over 30 appearances this season and has also missed time due to injury. Alan Busenitz will take his spot on the active roster.
Jul 24 - 1:10 PM
Brent Honeywell - S - Rays

Rays prospect Brent Honeywell gave up two runs over five innings for Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Honeywell allowed only four hits over those five innings, and he struck out 11 while walking just one. It was a sensational start for the Rays' top pitching prospect, and he looks like he's ready to contribute to a big-league staff. The Rays are certainly in contention, and an arm like Honeywell could help put them into one of the two wild card spots.
Jul 24 - 1:08 PM
Eloy Jimenez - OF - White Sox

White Sox prospect Eloy Jimenez went 5-for-6 with a homer on Sunday for High-A Winston Salem.

The homer is the second since the trade, and he's now hitting .452 with an .816 slugging percentage with Winston Salem. He's just too good a hitter to be at the lower levels right now. The White Sox should give him a chance to face Double-A pitching before the end of the year. He'll be hitting in Chicago before the end of 2018, and hitting well.
Jul 24 - 1:04 PM
Zack Burdi - R - White Sox

White Sox prospect right-hander Zack Burdi will undergo Tommy John surgery this week.

Burdi was recently diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament and made a final decision on surgery after going for a second opinion. The 2016 first-rounder will be sidelined until late 2018 at the earliest.

Taylor Motter - SS - Mariners

Mariners optioned INF/OF Taylor Motter to Triple-A Tacoma.

The move should clear a spot for Danny Espinosa's arrival. Motter started the season hot, but he's been a non-factor for the past couple of months.

Justin Verlander - S - Tigers

Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Cubs and Tigers continue to have trade discussions.

The Cubs just acquired Jose Quintana from the White Sox, but Morosi hears that Justin Verlander is a person of interest, in addition to catcher Alex Avila. However, the level of progress in talks is unclear. The Dodgers have also been mentioned as a possibility for Verlander and talks could pick up depending on what the club hears about ace Clayton Kershaw's back. Verlander is owed $60 million through 2019 while Avila is due to become a free agent this winter.
