Luis Vasquez - R - Braves

Braves designated RHP Luis Vasquez for assignment.

More housecleaning for the Braves after Thursday's deadline deal with the Cubs. Vasquez, 28, has been limited to 11 appearances this year in Triple-A and could pass through waivers.
Jul 31 - 5:44 PM
Zach Walters - 3B - Indians

Indians optioned INF Zach Walters to Triple-A Columbus.

Cleveland acquired Walters from the Nationals for Asdrubal Cabrera earlier in the day. Instead of giving Walters an immediate shot at Cabrera's old at-bats, the Tribe will roll with Mike Aviles at shortstop for now. Aviles won't hold Walters off for long. The 24-year-old switch-hitter boasts a .820 OPS in 887 plate appearances over the past three seasons at Triple-A.
Jul 31 - 5:41 PM
Gavin Floyd - S - Braves

Braves transferred RHP Gavin Floyd from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move clears a spot for the Braves' new additions. Floyd underwent season-ending surgery in June to repair a fractured olecranon in his right elbow.
Jul 31 - 5:40 PM
Austin Adams - R - Indians

Indians recalled RHP Austin Adams from Triple-A Columbus.

In light of the Justin Masterson trade, the Indians bring back Adams to function as an additional arm in the bullpen. The 27-year-old has been excellent this year at Triple-A, but will only be entrusted with low-leverage situations in the bigs.
Jul 31 - 5:36 PM
C.J. Wilson - S - Angels

C.J. Wilson (ankle, hip) is penciled in to rejoin the Angels' rotation Saturday against the Rays.

Wilson has been sidelined since early July with a right ankle sprain and hip tightness, but he made it through a minor league rehab start Monday with no issues. The 33-year-old southpaw owns a 4.33 ERA and 107/48 K/BB ratio in 116 1/3 innings this season, but there's reason to expect better if he's back to full health.

Roger Kieschnick - OF - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks recalled OF Roger Kieschnick from Triple-A Reno.

Kieschnick has already had a couple of stints with the D-Backs this year and he's back now that Gerardo Parra has been traded to the Brewers. The 27-year-old is strictly bench depth and doesn't figure to be fantasy relevant.
Jul 31 - 5:31 PM
Joaquin Benoit - R - Padres

The Padres didn't trade Joaquin Benoit before Thursday's non-waiver trading deadline.

Great news for Benoit owners, as the 37-year-old remains San Diego's closer. It wouldn't be a surprise, however, if Benoit is moved in a waivers trade in August. The reliever is under contract for $8 million next season and has an $8 million vesting option in 2016. Those numbers are reasonable enough that a contender won't blink an eye, and likely prohibitive enough for non-contenders to pass on him during the waiver process.
Jul 31 - 5:29 PM
Andy Marte - 3B - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks purchased the contract of INF Andy Marte from Triple-A Reno.

Back in the majors for the first time since 2010, the former top prospect was batting .330/.384/.513 with 13 home runs and 62 RBI over 102 games this season in Triple-A. Now 30 years old, Marte could get semi-regular playing time at third base now that Martin Prado is with the Yankees, at least in the short-term, but we're not expecting much of anything in fantasy leagues.
