August 28 Roster Update: Light Transaction Slate
The August 28, 2026 MLB The Show 26 roster update is a minor, transactional-only refresh—28 total rating changes (nine upgrades, zero downgrades) and eight newly added cards, all Common-tier prospects and call-ups. If you're chasing market volatility or lineup shakeups, this one won't move the needle much, but it's worth a quick scan for Collection progress.
What Changed
The nine upgrades are modest bumps in the Common tier—Brendan Beck (Free Agents) saw the biggest jump, rising six points from 56→62 OVR, while Luis Perales (Nationals), Yunior Tur (Athletics), David Sandlin (White Sox), and Shaun Anderson (Angels) each climbed five overalls. None crossed a rarity threshold, so quick-sell values and market prices stay flat. Riley Cornelio (Nationals) and Bradley Blalock (Marlins) each ticked up five points from 51, and Anthony Molina (Giants) gained three.
The eight new additions—including A.J. Vukovich (Diamondbacks, LF, 63 OVR), Blake Adams and Kade Anderson (both Rockies/Mariners starters at 63), and a handful of 58–59 OVR bench pieces—are all Commons, so they're Collection fodder, not investment plays.
