  • Orioles' Mike Baumann: Draws another start

    Baumann is scheduled to start Thursday's game in Boston.

    He'll be getting his second straight turn through the rotation after working four innings and allowing two earned runs on three hits and two walks in a no-decision versus Houston last weekend. The 27-year-old righty owns a 4.32 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB in 25 innings at the big-league level this season.

  • Jimmy Herget RP | COL

    Angels' Jimmy Herget: Records seventh save

    Herget picked up the save with a clean ninth inning in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Athletics.

    Herget entered the game with a 4-3 lead in the ninth inning and needed 14 pitches to retire the Athletics in order and record his seventh save of the season. In 10 September outings, Herbet has two saves and four holds while surrendering just one earned run over 12.1 innings. He should remain in the mix for high-leverage opportunities to close out the season.

  • Orioles' Joey Krehbiel: Handed loss versus Boston

    Krehbiel (5-5) took the loss Tuesday versus the Red Sox, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning.

    Krehbiel was charged with a run in the third inning as the Red Sox put together a six-run rally. The Orioles tied the game with five runs of their own in the fourth, but Krehbiel was charged with a run as the Red Sox shot back in the same frame and took the lead for good. An effective reliever for much of the season, the 29-year-old right-hander has hit a rough stretch of late. He's allowed nine runs on 10 hits and three walks over his last 5.2 innings spanning six appearances. Krehbiel is at a 3.90 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB through 57.2 innings overall, and he's added a save and 10 holds.

  • Royals' Anthony Misiewicz: Dealt loss Tuesday

    Misiewicz (1-2) allowed an unearned run on a hit and two walks while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Tigers.

    Misiewicz loaded the bases in the 10th inning with a pair of walks, then allowed a walkoff single to Harold Castro. Through 12.1 innings with the Royals, Misiewicz has struggled, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on 13 hits and four walks, though he's added 17 strikeouts. He's also picked up a win and two holds, but he's still little more than a low-leverage reliever.

  • Trevor Stephan RP | CLE

    Guardians' Trevor Stephan: Takes loss Tuesday

    Stephan (6-5) allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and a walk while striking out two in one inning to take the loss Tuesday versus the Rays.

    Stephan gave up a two-run double to Harold Ramirez in the 11th inning, and Cleveland only got one of those runs back. Over his last 20 appearances, Stephan's given up runs just four times, though each of those instances have seen him tagged for multiple tallies. He's now at a 2.79 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 79:15 K:BB with 19 holds and a pair of saves through 61.1 innings.

  • Tyson Miller RP | CHW

    Rangers' Tyson Miller: Notches first career win

    Miller (1-1) earned the win during Tuesday's 5-0 victory over Seattle, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out three in 3.2 innings.

    Miller followed opener Jesus Tinoco with 3.2 scoreless innings -- the only trouble coming in the fourth after the first two Mariners singled, but he was able to retire the next three batters to escape the jam. The 27-year-old fired 42 of 66 pitches for strikes, with seven of the swinging variety, and rebounded nicely from a six-run clunker during his most recent major-league appearance, a short start June 15. In three appearances, Miller has surrendered six earned runs on 12 baserunners with three strikeouts across 6.2 innings.

  • Calvin Faucher RP | MIA

    Rays' Calvin Faucher: Records extra-innings save

    Faucher picked up the save Tuesday in Cleveland, allowing an unearned run on a hit in a 6-5 extra-innings win.

    Faucher entered the game in the bottom of 11th after the Rays scored twice in the top half. He allowed a one-out single that plated the automatic runner before retiring the final two batters to end the game and earn his first big-league save. The 27-year-old has shuttled back and forth between the minors and the Rays this year and, after a rough start to the season, has a 3.24 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB in his last 16.2 innings across 18 appearances for Tampa Bay.

  • Brett Martin RP | TEX

    Rangers' Brett Martin: Moved to injured list

    Martin was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left shoulder strain.

    Martin was previously listed on the bereavement list, but the move to the 15-day IL will end his season as the Rangers have just 10 games left this year. The 27-year-old lefty will finish the season with a 1-7 record and three saves to go along with a 4.14 ERA and 1.36 WHIP.

  • Mike Mayers RP | TOR

    Angels' Mike Mayers: Cast off 40-man

    Mayers was designated for assignment by the Angels on Tuesday.

    After Mayers gave up multiple runs in four of his last five appearances, bringing his ERA to 5.68 for the season, the Angels decided it was time to remove him from their 40-man roster. Now that he's been placed on waivers, there is room for Archie Bradley (elbow) to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

  • Mitch White RP | MIL

    Blue Jays' Mitch White: Sticks around in rotation

    White is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday against the Yankees at Rogers Centre, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Following his call-up from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, White took the hill later that day against the Rays and took a no-decision in a 10-6 loss while allowing three earned runs on on five hits and one walk over four innings. Nicholson-Smith notes that White is currently slated for a standard start Wednesday, but the Blue Jays could change those plans and deploy him behind an opener depending on what their bullpen situation looks like following Tuesday's contest. Since being acquired from the Dodgers on Aug. 2, White owns an 0-4 record, 7.39 ERA and 1.67 WHIP across 35.1 innings with Toronto.
