    Yankees' Camilo Doval: Loss, blown save in Yankees debut

    Doval (4-3) was charged with the loss and a blown save in Friday's 13-12 loss to the Marlins, allowing three runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk with no strikeouts in one-third of an inning.

    Doval disappointed in his Yankees debut, taking his fifth blown save of the season. The hierarchy of New York's new-look bullpen following the acquisition of David Bednar is not entirely settled, though it's worth noting that Doval has struggled quite a bit recently and is seeing his fantasy stock drop. Since the start of June, the right-hander has a 5.64 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB across 22.1 innings.

  • David Bednar RP | NYY

    Yankees' David Bednar: Takes blown save in team debut

    Bednar was charged with a blown save in Friday's 13-12 loss to the Marlins, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks in 1.2 innings. He struck out two.

    Bednar didn't make an encouraging first impression in his team debut, giving up multiple runs for the first time since his May 19 outing versus the Reds. The 30-year-old right-hander should still work with the Yankees' high-leverage group going forward despite Friday's flop -- Bednar owns a 2.09 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 52:8 K:BB over his last 38.2 innings since and including April 19.

  • Red Sox's Cooper Criswell: Goes seven strong in spot start

    Criswell did not factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Astros, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts over seven innings.

    Criswell allowed just a solo homer in the second inning and otherwise kept the Astros in check, needing only 84 pitches to complete seven strong frames in his first start and seventh major-league appearance of the season. The 29-year-old now owns a 3.57 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB across 17.2 innings with the Red Sox, though Friday's outing was likely just a spot start with Dustin May in line to take the fifth spot in the team's rotation.

  • Rangers' Caleb Boushley: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Rangers optioned Boushley to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

    Boushley will head back to the minors to make room on Texas' pitching staff for new acquisition Merrill Kelly. Boushley gave up three runs in 5.1 innings during his most recent stint in the big leagues, giving him a 5.05 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP through 35.2 innings on the season.

  • Jacob Latz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob Latz: Pushed back to Triple-A

    The Rangers optioned Latz to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

    After giving up three runs (two earned) in 1.1 innings during Texas' loss to Seattle on Thursday, Latz will be sent back to Triple-A to help make room for new additions Danny Coulombe and Phil Maton. Despite his latest outing, Latz still owns a 3.23 ERA through 55.2 innings with Texas this year, making him a safe bet to return to Arlington at some point down the line.

  • Sam Bachman RP | LAA

    Angels' Sam Bachman: Relegated to Triple-A

    The Angels optioned Bachman to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    The 25-year-old righty will be pushed off the 26-man roster in order to clear space in the Halos' bullpen for the newly acquired Andrew Chafin. Bachman owns a 5.02 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through 14.1 innings in the majors this season but could still return to Anaheim later in the year as bullpen depth.

  • Joe Rock P | TB

    Rays' Joe Rock: Back to Triple-A

    The Rays optioned Rock to Triple-A Durham on Friday.

    Rock was summoned to the majors Thursday and allowed two hits and no walks while striking out five across three scoreless innings during the Rays' 7-4 loss to the Yankees. He'll head back to Triple-A, where he has started in 15 of 20 games and has a 4.63 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 71:33 K:BB across 81.2 innings.

  • Trent Thornton RP | SEA

    Mariners' Trent Thornton: Diagnosed with torn Achilles

    The Mariners placed Thornton on the 15-day injured list Friday with a torn left Achilles.

    Thornton left Thursday's game against the Rangers on a cart, and imaging confirmed Friday that the right-hander tore his Achilles tendon. The diagnosis will put an early end to his season, and he'll finish 2025 with a 4.68 ERA and 1.30 WHIP alongside a 32:14 K:BB through 42.1 innings. The 31-year-old will likely miss the vast majority of the 2026 season as well.

  • Jackson Kowar RP | SEA

    Mariners' Jackson Kowar: Back in Seattle

    The Mariners recalled Kowar from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

    Kowar was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday, but he'll turn around and head back to Seattle to replace the injured Trent Thornton (Achilles). Kowar will likely take on a middle-relief role with the Mariners after posting a 1.54 ERA and 0.86 WHIP through 11.2 innings with the big club this season.

  • Joe Boyle SP | TB

    Rays' Joe Boyle: Sticking in rotation

    Boyle is slated to start Sunday's game against the Dodgers in Tampa.

    After Tampa Bay optioned right-hander Taj Bradley to Triple-A Durham last week, Boyle stepped into the open spot in the rotation and made his second start of the season for the big club in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees. Despite being roughed up from six runs (four earned) on four hits and three walks over 3.1 frames, Boyle still owns sparkling ratios (2.82 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 24:9 K:BB in 22.1 innings) at the big-league level this season and appears to have gained some security in the Tampa Bay rotation in the aftermath of Thursday's trade deadline. The Rays acquired right-hander Adrian Houser but shipped out two other starters in Bradley (Twins) and righty Zack Littell (Reds).
