  • Jose Quijada RP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Quijada: Removed from 40-man roster

    The Angels designated Quijada for assignment Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    The move frees up a spot on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster after the Angels acquired relievers Luis Garcia and Andrew Chafin from the Nationals on Wednesday. Quijada had tossed 1.1 scoreless frames covering two relief appearances with the Halos.

  • Thomas Hatch RP | MIN

    Royals' Thomas Hatch: Likely to operate in bulk relief

    Hatch is expected to be used in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Angel Zerpa in Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Zerpa will likely be limited to one or two innings before turning the game over to the bullpen, and Hatch represents the freshest arm among Kansas City's relief options. Hatch had been serving as a full-time member of the Triple-A Omaha rotation prior to being called up Tuesday, notching a 4.22 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 78:28 K:BB in 91.2 innings over 18 starts. The right-hander will be available on three days' rest, though he handled a relatively light workload of 2.1 innings in his final start with Omaha on Saturday prior to his promotion.

  • Andrew Chafin RP | LAA

    Angels' Andrew Chafin: Lands with Angels

    The Angels acquired Chafin and right-hander Luis Garcia from the Nationals on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander Jake Eder and first baseman Sam Brown, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Chafin holds a 2.70 ERA over 20 innings with the Nationals this season, but a 1.60 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB suggest he's been the beneficiary of some good fortune in terms of run prevention. The 35-year-old will give the Angels another lefty in the bullpen.

  • Luis Garcia RP | LAA

    Angels' Luis Garcia: Heading back to Anaheim

    The Angels acquired Garcia and left-hander Andrew Chafin from the Nationals on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander Jake Eder and first baseman Sam Brown, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Garcia was dealt from the Angels to the Red Sox at last season's deadline and has now found his way back to Anaheim a year later. He has struggled in 2025, posting a 4.10 ERA and 31:18 K:BB over 37.1 innings between the Dodgers and Nationals. Garcia could wind up being part of the late-inning mix for the Angels, particularly if the club trades closer Kenley Jansen.

  • Luke Jackson RP | SEA

    Tigers' Luke Jackson: Better in second game with Detroit

    Jackson tossed two scoreless innings of relief with two strikeouts in Tuesday's 12-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Jackson made his Detroit debut Sunday and promptly allowed four runs while walking three batters and only retiring two. His second appearance with his new team was much more promising, however, and the righty lowered his season ERA to 4.78. Jackson still projects as a low-leverage arm with the Tigers, and he's unlikely to make a significant fantasy impact.

  • Brant Hurter P | DET

    Tigers' Brant Hurter: Snags win in relief

    Hurter (3-3) tossed 3.1 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Tuesday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed one hit and struck out three.

    Detroit starter Casey Mize only lasted 1.2 innings during an uneven outing, but Hurter righted the ship for the Tigers and then scooped up the win as the team cruised to an easy 12-2 victory. After a rough patch in late June and into early July, the lefty has been better lately, compiling 9.2 scoreless innings with 11 strikeouts over his last four appearances. Overall, Hurter has a strong 2.68 ERA to go along with 58 strikeouts across 53.2 innings this season, making him one of the Tigers' better bullpen options.

  • White Sox's Tyler Alexander: Drawing start Wednesday

    Alexander will be the White Sox's starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    Adrian Houser had been slated to start for Chicago, but he is on the trade block and could be on the move ahead of Thursday's deadline. Alexander will be pitching on two days' rest after throwing 1.1 scoreless relief innings Sunday versus the Cubs. The lefty will be on a relatively limited pitch count Wednesday.

  • Devin Williams RP | NYM

    Yankees' Devin Williams: Locks down save Tuesday

    Williams earned the save in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Rays, allowing one run on a hit and a walk while striking out one in an inning of work.

    Williams had some room to work with but did not make it easy on himself. He allowed a leadoff triple, and that runner that would come into score. He escaped more damage with a game-ending punchout with runners on second and third. Williams has now allowed a run in three of his last five outings, but his only blown save of the year happened back on April 25. He now has 17 saves to go along with a 4.69 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB in 40.1 innings.

  • Joe Boyle SP | TB

    Rays' Joe Boyle: Chased early in loss

    Boyle (1-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing six runs (four earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out six in 3.1 innings.

    Boyle faced minimal trouble through the first two frames and showcased his high strikeout upside by striking out the side in the second. Things fell apart from there, however, as Boyle went on to give up six runs while only getting four more outs. Boyle's shaky command resurfaced with three walks, but he'd shown an improved ability to find the strike zone coming into Tuesday with just six walks in 19 innings. He'll look to rebound at home over the weekend when the Dodgers come to town.

  • Noah Davis RP | MIN

    Twins' Noah Davis: Joins big-league bullpen

    The Twins recalled Davis from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

    Davis will provide a fresh relief arm after the bullpen was needed to cover six innings in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox. The right-hander has permitted 14 runs (13 earned) over six innings at the big-league level in 2025.
