July 12 Roster Update: Transactional Cleanup and a Pair of Relievers on the Move
MLB The Show 26's July 12 roster update is a quick transactional sweep—19 rating changes and 28 new cards, mostly reflecting recent MLB signings and call-ups. No Silver-to-Gold flips or Diamond movement here, but a few relievers and depth arms saw notable attribute swings that could matter if you're running a budget bullpen or flipping bronze Live Series cards.
Upgrades: Relief Depth Gets a Boost
Hurston Waldrep (Braves) climbs from 67 to 72 OVR in Bronze, the day's biggest jump. Fellow Braves reliever Reynaldo López ticks up from 65 to 68 on the strength of an 11-point Control gain—both useful if Atlanta's pen is part of your Theme Team grind. Over in Kansas City, Luinder Avila crosses from Common to Bronze (64→67), though his Control took a -6 hit.
Ranger Winston Santos (56→62) and A's arm Joey Estes (59→64) round out the Common-tier movers—minimal market impact, but worth noting if you're stashing bulk commons ahead of the next program.
Downgrades: Scholtens Takes the Biggest Hit
Jesse Scholtens (Rays) tumbles from 71 to 66 OVR, shedding 26 points of Control and falling deeper into Bronze. Jordan Romano (Rockies) and Jake Woodford (Cubs) saw minor downgrades within Common territory.
New Adds: Kepler Leads the Class
Max Kepler (Diamondbacks, 73 OVR Bronze) is the highest-rated newcomer, followed by relievers Woo-Suk Go (Twins, 70) and Pedro Avila (Free Agents, 70). None will shake up your god squad, but Kepler slots in as a serviceable outfield option for budget squads or NMS lineups.
