Technically, Reynolds is already out on paternity leave after making an early exit from Tuesday’s game against the Tigers after his wife went into labor with their third child. The 30-year-old outfielder will be away from the club for a couple days with Billy Cook coming up from Triple-A to take his spot on Pittsburgh’s roster.

Cook joins the Pirates ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Marlins with Bryan Reynolds heading out on paternity leave for a couple days. It figures to be a short stint in the big leagues for the versatile 26-year-old, who got into 16 contests last year for Pittsburgh. He’s hit .271 with zero homers and 10 steals in 61 games this season at the Triple-A level.

Heaney has posted a 3.33 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 14 starts for Pittsburgh this season. He’s signed to just a one-year contract, so it seems like a given that he will be shipped off at the deadline. Perhaps to clear a rotation spot for Bubba Chandler, who remains in the minors. Feinsand lists the Astros, Dodgers and Cubs as potential destinations.

The 26-year-old is the Pirates’ 18th-ranked prospect. He’s slashing .271/.353/.335 with 20 RBI, 23 runs scored and 10 steals in 61 games at Triple-A this season. He has played first base and all three outfield positions in the minors this season and will likely be taking the place of Bryan Reynolds, who is headed to the Paternity List. As a result, this might not be a long stay for Cook.

Stanton, 35, will get a break after playing in his first two games back as the designated hitter. The Yankees will likely give the outfielder some maintenance days throughout the 2025 campaign. He’ll take a seat with Jasson Dominguez operating as the DH and hitting eighth.

Rice will make his first as a catcher in the majors. Assuming this doesn’t become a disaster, there’s a good chance the 26-year-old will get a few more starts behind the plate, and it not only helps his fantasy stock for 2025, but would be a big booster for the 2026 prospectus as well. Austin Wells is getting Wednesday off with Rice behind the plate.

The Braves are currently 12 games back in the NL East and seven games out of a Wild Card spot, so they face a real uphill climb to get back into the postseason race. If they don’t make up enough ground by the deadline, Feinsand believes Ozuna will be the most attractive rental for Atlanta. However, we also know he’s playing through a tear in his hip, so it’s unclear what kind of return he would net. Feinsand lists the Guardians, Rangers and Tigers as potential trade destinations.
