Right now we need an arm in the bullpen. So he'll be in the bullpen down there to give us an extra arm. And then we'll reevaluate where we are after that.

Lenyn Sosa, acquired on Apr. 13, has appeared in 15 games and has hit .255 with three doubles, a home run, six RBI, and a .633 OPS. The 26-year-old has appeared in games at second base, first base, designated hitter, and as a pinch hitter. He offers the kind of positional flexibility this team values with an aggressive approach at the plate that fits well with the rest of the lineup.

Johnson appeared in eight games, collecting two hits and walks apiece over 17 plate appearances. The lefty-hitting outfielder has appeared in parts of five MLB seasons but has fewer than 200 career trips to the dish.

The Royals announced plans for a new ballpark in downtown Kansas City, specifically in the Crown Center neighborhood. A joint venture with Hallmark Cards, the project will also feature mixed-use elements, including new headquarters for both the club and the company.

Allard signed a minor league deal with the club in February of 2025, was added to the roster in April, and designated for assignment in July.

Fernández, 29, has long had intriguing stuff. He tossed 54 big league innings from 2019 to 2022. His 5.17 earned run average in that time wasn't especially impressive but both his four-seamer and sinker averaged over 98 miles per hour in his most recent season.

Garret was a cornerstone of our organization throughout his 15 seasons and his stoic presence in the outfield and our clubhouse elevated the Angels into an era of continued success, highlighted by the 2002 World Series championship.

Joe Ross, after electing free agency, re-signed with the Diamondbacks on a minor league contract and has been assigned to Triple-A Reno, where he is back in action.
