June 12, 2026 Roster Update: Six Fresh Diamonds and a Market Shakeup

MLB The Show 26's June 12 roster update delivered a full attribute pass that moved 736 cards—354 upgrades, 234 downgrades—and crowned six new Diamonds while bumping eight Silvers into Gold territory. If you've been holding inventory or running budget squads, this update just redrew the map.

Six New Diamonds Cross the Threshold

The biggest winners are the players who punched through to Diamond rarity, resetting their price floors and sparking immediate market surges. Yandy Díaz (Rays) climbed from 84 to 86 OVR on the strength of balanced contact gains, while Shea Langeliers (Athletics) made the leap to 86 with a massive +8 to contact and vision versus lefties—though his power against righties took a hit. Ben Rice (Yankees) jumped from 82 to 85 with a clutch boost (+16) that makes him intriguing in high-leverage spots, and Cam Schlittler (Yankees) joined him at 85 OVR after H/9 improvements.

Pete Crow-Armstrong (Cubs) crossed into Diamond at 85 OVR with a +11 contact bump against lefties and clutch gains, while Jacob Misiorowski (Brewers) rocketed from 80 to 85 with strikeout improvements across the board. All six cards now carry Diamond quick-sell floors—expect their market prices to spike as flippers and theme-team builders chase the new tier.

Eight Silver-to-Gold Promotions Reset Budget Tiers

The Gold crossings are just as market-moving. Cade Smith (Guardians) soared from 79 to 83 OVR with a ridiculous +12 K/9 against righties, and Ernie Clement (Blue Jays) also hit 83 with contact gains that make him a sneaky bench bat. Dylan Cease (Blue Jays) returned to Gold at 82 OVR, while relievers Tanner Scott (Dodgers), Robert Suarez (Braves), and Erik Sabrowski (Guardians) all crossed into Gold with strikeout boosts—valuable bullpen depth at a new price floor. Braxton Ashcraft (Pirates) and Ryan Weathers (Yankees) round out the Gold club, both at 81 OVR.

Notable Downgrades and Market Crashes

On the flip side, Kyle Finnegan (Tigers) and Nick Lodolo (Reds) both dropped from Silver to Bronze (75→70 and 78→73, respectively), tanking their quick-sell values and market prices. Zac Gallen (Diamondbacks) took a brutal -6 overall hit to 68 OVR, losing 37 K/9 versus lefties in one of the update's harshest nerfs. Phil Maton (Cubs) fell five overall to 71, shedding Silver status. If you were holding any of these cards as investments, it's time to cut losses.

What It Means for Your Squad

With 736 cards touched, this update reshuffled budget squads and high-end rosters alike. The new Diamonds give you fresh end-game options at catcher (Langeliers), first base (Díaz, Rice), outfield (Crow-Armstrong), and on the mound (Schlittler, Misiorowski). The Silver-to-Gold upgrades flooded the market with affordable bullpen arms and bench bats—check your binders for Cade Smith and Dylan Cease, as both are now worth significantly more Stubs than yesterday.
