MLB Week-in-Review: Francisco Lindor, Byron Buxton promoted

MLB Top Headlines:

Cubs sign Rafael Soriano

After switching agents, Soriano opted to join the Cubs' bullpen. Soriano struggled towards the end of last season but earned a minor league deal with Chicago.

Mets could promote Steven Matz by end of month

New York has already promoted several pitching prospects and may be calling upon another soon. Matz's 1.94 Pacific Coast League ERA is notable.

Yankees place Andrew Miller on DL

Miller is out with tightness and will not pick up a baseball for another 7-10 days. Dellin Betances is the internal candidate to close games in Miller's absence.

Padres option Jedd Gyorko

Gyorko has struggled at the plate to this point in 2015 and ultimately lost his starting job. He signed a $35 million extension last April but the deal may have been premature.

Mets, Brewers in trade talks

New York is in pursuit of offense and the Brewers have several attractive bats. Jean Segura and Ryan Braun are names to watch.

Both clubs are in pursuit of Papelbon, who could be dealt before the end of July. The Phillies may not be asking for much in return because of Papelbon's notably large contract.

The Tampa Bay outfielder underwent surgery on his knee. As a result, he may not be available until early August.
