Luis Urias returns to Brewers' active roster, Ruf transferred to IL.

The Milwaukee Brewers have reinstated infielder Luis Urías from the 60-day injured list and optioned infielder Mike Brosseau to make room on the active roster. First baseman Darin Ruf has been transferred to the 60-day injured list due to a laceration and non-displaced fracture of his patella, with an expected recovery time of six to eight weeks. The move could impact Brosseau's path to free agency, while the Brewers will need to find a new right-handed platoon partner for Rowdy Tellez in Ruf's absence.

Brewers cut ties with Luke Voit.

Luke Voit, who signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Milwaukee Brewers after a strong showing in spring training, has been designated for assignment after batting only .221 with no homers and a .548 OPS across 22 games and 74 plate appearances. Voit struggled mightily against left-handed pitching, going 3 for 33 with 20 strikeouts, no walks and one extra-base hit against them. The Brewers signed veteran Darin Ruf to take Voit's spot on the roster.

Darin Ruf joins Brewers after stint with Giants.

Darin Ruf has signed a one-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers after refusing an outright assignment to the minor leagues with the San Francisco Giants. Ruf hit .261 with no homers and three RBIs in nine games with the Giants this season. Milwaukee will pay Ruf $541,935, a prorated share of the $720,000 major league minimum, and the Giants are responsible for the rest of Ruf's $3 million salary plus a $250,000 buyout of his contract's 2024 team option.

Brewers Address Hitting Woes by Signing Darin Ruf.

The Milwaukee Brewers have signed Darin Ruf to a one-year contract and placed Luke Voit on the 10-day injured list with a strained neck to make room for him on the active roster. Right-hander Brandon Woodruff was transferred to the 60-day injured list to open a spot on the 40-man roster, while righty Colin Rea was optioned and Trevor Megill was recalled. Ruf will effectively replace Voit as the club's right-handed hitting first baseman/designated hitter. Woodruff's transfer to the 60-day IL was an inevitable formality as he was diagnosed with a Grade 2 subscapular strain in his right shoulder in April and isn't expected back until late June.

Giants call up top prospect Casey Schmitt, designate Darin Ruf for assignment.

The San Francisco Giants have selected the contract of infield prospect Casey Schmitt, who will make his Major League debut. In a corresponding move, they have designated Darin Ruf for assignment. Schmitt has primarily played shortstop in Triple-A Sacramento but has also played third base and second base. The Giants hope he can provide a spark to their struggling lineup. Ruf, who was recently reinstated from the injured list, was released by the Mets earlier this year and has a week to be traded, placed on outright waivers, or placed on release waivers.

Darin Ruf Returns to Giants, Optioning Hjelle.

The San Francisco Giants have added outfielder/first baseman/designated hitter Darin Ruf to both the 40-man and active rosters, just a few days after signing him to a Minor League contract. To make room on the active roster for Ruf, right-handed pitcher Sean Hjelle was optioned to Sacramento. Ruf will slot straight into the lineup as the DH, hitting fifth against lefty ace Clayton Kershaw. The move helps the matchup-heavy Giants go more right-handed.

Darin Ruf Returns to Giants, Hjelle Optioned.

The San Francisco Giants have selected Darin Ruf to their roster, completing a strange boomerang trip to New York and back for Ruf over the past nine months. Ruf played very well for the Giants, particularly as a lefty-mashing righty, hitting 21 home runs in 412 plate appearances and walking at a 14.3% rate. The Giants signed him to a two-year, $6.25MM deal going into 2022. The Mets took on the remainder of Ruf’s deal and are still on the hook for it since he cleared waivers.

Giants bring back Darin Ruf on minor league deal.

Darin Ruf is re-signing with the San Francisco Giants on a minor league deal after being waived by the New York Mets earlier this year. Ruf was previously with the Giants for three seasons before being traded to the Mets in exchange for J.D. Davis and three pitching prospects. During his time with the Mets, Ruf struggled at the plate, hitting just .152 with seven RBIs in 28 games. The Giants currently have a full 40-man roster, so Ruf's future with the team is uncertain.

Darin Ruf Returns to Giants on Minor League Deal.

The San Francisco Giants have signed Darin Ruf to a minor league contract after he was released by the New York Mets earlier this week. Ruf previously played for the Giants from 2020-2022, hitting .248/.358/.455 over 726 plate appearances. The 36-year-old struggled during his brief time with the Mets, hitting only .152/.216/.197 over 74 plate appearances before finishing the season on the injured list with a neck sprain. If Ruf can recapture any of his old form, the Giants could benefit from obtaining him for essentially nothing while getting his salary off the books.

"Guardians' 2023 Season Preview: Starting Rotation, Outfield, and Opening Day Lineup Projections"

With just two days until Opening Day, the Cleveland Guardians may name a new fifth starter today, with left-hander Konnor Pilkington being the most logical option. Meanwhile, Keston Hiura and Darin Ruf were designated for assignment by their respective teams and could be bench options for a team short on right-handed pop. Additionally, MLB Trade Rumors (MLBTR) is hosting two live chats today, one with a Cardinals-centric focus and the other with an MLB-wide focus.

Mets replace struggling Darin Ruf with speedy Tim Locastro.

The New York Mets have designated Darin Ruf for assignment and added Tim Locastro to their Opening Day roster. Ruf, who underperformed last season and struggled in spring training, is owed $3.125 million for this season. Locastro, one of MLB's fastest players, will give the Mets a late-inning threat on the bases. The team is betting on the stolen-base element with the implementation of larger bases and new rules that limit pickoff attempts.
