The New York Mets have released Josh Reddick from his Minor League contract.

Reddick joined the Mets earlier this month after he was cut loose by the Arizona Diamondbacks.

In 38 plate appearances over 11 games at Triple-A Syracuse, Reddick hit .182/.289/.303 with one home run.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed Gregory Polanco on outright waivers, according to reports.

Polanco carries a $11.6 million salary this season, with about $2.4 million of that remaining.

Any team claiming him would be responsible for that remaining salary. But if he goes unclaimed, Polanco would be able to elect free agency.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Yadier Molina are discussing a possible one-year contract extension that would keep him with the franchise for the 2022 season, according to a report.

Molina, 39, is playing under a one-year, $9 million deal for this season.

The catcher is hitting .256/.303/.378 with eight home runs in 91 games.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are nearing an agreement on a Major League contract with Shane Greene, according to a report.

The reliever, 32, was recently released by the Atlanta Braves after making 19 appearances this season.

The Tampa Bay Rays have signed David Robertson to a Minor League contract.

Robertson will report to Triple-A Durham. The 36-year-old hasn't thrown a Major League pitch since 2019, but had success as Team USA's closer at the Olympics.

In Robertson's last full season, 2018, he had a 3.23 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 91 strikeouts against 25 unintentional walks in 69 2/3 innings.

The San Diego Padres have signed Jake Arrieta to a Minor League contract.

San Diego is in need of pitching depth as they look to hold onto a National League Wild Card spot.

"We need quality innings, we need pitches, we need an opportunity to win games," Jayce Tingler said. "With all of his experience, everything he's done, we need some quality innings these last seven weeks and we think he can be part of that solution.

"A great opportunity to pitch, to pitch well, and pitch for a winning team. We'll see how the next couple of weeks line up but it's a great opportunity for both sides."

Arrieta was released by the Chicago Cubs last week after he was 5-11 with a 6.88 ERA this season in his second stint with the franchise.

The New York Mets plan to sign Josh Reddick to a Minor League deal.

Reddick was released by the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday.

Because he signed before August 31, Reddick would be eligible for the Mets' postseason roster if New York were to qualify.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have released Josh Reddick.

Reddick was designated for assignment last week. The 34-year-old has enough service time to reject an outright assignment.

He was hitting .258/.285/.371 over 158 plate appearances in 2021.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, perpetually in search of depth for their star-studded rotation, have agreed to a deal with four-time All-Star Cole Hamels, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.

Hamels, who auditioned for teams during a workout last month in Texas, passed his physical on Wednesday morning. The Dodgers will guarantee him a prorated $1 million for the rest of this season and will tack on $200,000 in incentives for each start, a source told ESPN's Buster Olney.
