  • Sam Bachman RP | LAA

    Angels' Sam Bachman: Resumes throwing

    Bachman (forearm) played catch out to 60 feet Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Bachman landed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to right forearm radial nerve inflammation, though it's a positive sign that he's already been cleared to resume throwing. Assuming he checks out fine after tossing Monday, he'll likely be asked to throw again later in the week and could resume mound work in the near future.

  • Shaun Anderson RP | LAA

    Angels' Shaun Anderson: Lands on IL with shoulder injury

    The Angels placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right shoulder inflammation.

    The injury may have cropped during his last appearance Sunday, when he allowed six runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two in one inning of relief against the Marlins. A minimum stint on the IL would have Anderson back in action in late August, though he'll undergo more tests on his throwing shoulder to help shape a recovery timeline. The Angels selected Sammy Peralta's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

  • Ben Peoples RP | TEX

    Rangers' Ben Peoples: Back with Rangers

    The Rangers recalled Peoples from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

    Peoples was just optioned this past weekend, but he's back to grab the roster spot vacated by the injured Nathan Eovaldi (elbow). The righty reliever has permitted three runs with a 6:3 K:BB over 12.1 frames during his time with the Rangers this season.

  • Easton McGee RP | KC

    Royals' Easton McGee: Optioned to Omaha

    The Royals optioned McGee to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

    His spot on the roster will be absorbed by veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel. McGee was rocked for six runs in a two-inning relief appearance Sunday versus the Cubs.

  • Cam Sanders RP | BAL

    Orioles' Cam Sanders: Rejoins big-league bullpen

    The Orioles recalled Sanders from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

    Sanders made two scoreless appearances for the Orioles in July and is back for another go-round with the big club. The 29-year-old will fill a middle-relief role.

  • Lazaro Estrada RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Lazaro Estrada: Jettisoned to minors

    The Blue Jays optioned Estrada to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Estrada had pitched each of the last three days, so his spot on the roster will be filled by a fresh bullpen arm. The 27-year-old has permitted seven runs (six earned) with an 8:8 K:BB over 12 innings during his time with the big club in 2026.

  • Blue Jays' Simeon Woods Richardson: Returns to big-league roster

    The Blue Jays selected Woods Richardson's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Woods Richardson was removed from the 40-man roster in late June, but he's earned another opportunity by logging a 1.65 ERA and 14:6 K:BB over 16.1 innings across his last four appearances with Buffalo. The righty will likely be used in a long relief role.

  • Craig Yoho RP | CLE

    Guardians' Craig Yoho: Taken deep in loss

    Yoho (2-1) was tagged with the loss to the White Sox on Sunday, when he allowed four runs on two hits and four walks over a third of an inning.

    Yoho was one of several relievers to pitch Sunday, when starter Joey Cantillo was removed after one inning following a significant rain delay. Things did not go well for the reliever, who entered in the third inning with two outs and no runners on base. The right-hander allowed a walk, a double and another walk before Colson Montgomery took him deep for a three-run home run. Yoho was a trade-deadline acquisition and in position for high-leverage work in the Guardians' bullpen, but he's allowed seven runs on five hits (two HRs) and four walks in consecutive outings (1.1 innings).

  • Ryan Helsley RP | BAL

    Orioles' Ryan Helsley: In store for long buildup

    Helsley (elbow) said Sunday that he's about a week into his throwing program but is likely a couple of weeks away from getting back on a mound, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

    On the shelf for the second time this season due to a right elbow injury, Helsley looks like he'll be eased along slowly during his rehab program. He's expected to gradually increase his throwing distance off flat ground for the next two weeks before he begins throwing bullpen sessions. After that, Helsey will then need to resume facing hitters and complete a rehab assignment before potentially making his return to the Baltimore bullpen. Given the multiple hurdles Helsley still needs to clear, he doesn't appear likely to make it back from the 60-day injured list until at least early September.

  • Rays' Cam Booser: Tallies seventh hold

    Booser picked up a hold Sunday against Seattle, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless seventh inning. He struck out two.

    After struggling to a 5.52 ERA in 31 innings for the White Sox in 2025, the 34-year-old left-hander continues to serve as a legitimate weapon out of Tampa Bay's bullpen this season. Booser has a 2.08 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB over 26 frames while logging seven holds.
