The Guardians recalled Brogdon from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

The move corresponds with Franco Aleman being optioned to Triple-A. Brogdon last saw major-league action May 7, and across 15 big-league appearances this year he has a 5.28 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, four holds and one save in 15.1 innings.

The Guardians optioned Aleman to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

The move comes after Aleman's last outing against the Twins on Saturday, when he allowed four runs on five hits while striking out one batter in two-thirds of an inning. Connor Brogdon was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Athletics recalled Rom from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Rom will be back in the majors for the first time since Aug. 24. Across 12 big-league outings this season, he has a 6.35 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and three holds across 11.1 innings. Right-hander Joey Estes was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Brieske (1-0) allowed a run in 1.2 innings of relief but managed to earn the win in Saturday's 11-7 victory over the Rockies. He struck out two.

Brieske served up a solo home run to Ezequiel Tovar but otherwise pitched well to earn just his second win since the beginning of 2025. The righty reliever was called up Sept. 1 after last pitching in the majors in July. Brieske looks like a low-leverage relief option the rest of the way for the Tigers, which limits his fantasy upside.

Garcia (1-1) struck out one over a scoreless fifth inning to earn the win Saturday over the Diamondbacks.

After Texas scored six times in the top of the fifth to take a 6-1 lead, starter Kumar Rocker began the bottom of the frame with two consecutive walks and was replaced by Garcia, who then got credited with the win. This was the reliever's third appearance since returning to the active roster last week. The left-hander has not allowed a hit, walk or run while striking out four over three innings.

Hudson struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals.

The White Sox took the lead in the top of the ninth inning, and Hudson made it stand with his clean frame. He's on a 10-inning scoreless streak, posting a 7:0 K:BB in that span while adding two holds and three saves. Hudson and Grant Taylor appear to be sharing the closing duties for the White Sox, though Taylor worked in the seventh and eighth innings of this game. Hudson has pitched to a 2.87 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 58:17 K:BB through 62.2 innings this year while adding eight saves, nine holds and three blown saves.

Joyce was charged with his second blown save of the season in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Nationals, allowing one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

The Angels staged a late rally to take a 5-4 lead in the top of the ninth inning, but Joyce couldn't close the door in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander is 4-for-6 in converting save chances since taking over the closer role in mid-August, and over 10 appearances since he's posted a 4.82 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB in 9.1 innings.

Baker threw 1.1 scoreless innings for the save Saturday against the Astros, allowing one hit and no walks. He struck out one.

Baker recorded more than three outs Saturday for just the second time this season. The All-Star closer continues to be dominant, giving up only three earned runs in 27 appearances since the start of July. He has a 1.54 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 62:21 K:BB with a major-league-leading 40 saves (43 opportunities) over 58.1 innings in 2026.

Seymour didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Astros, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out 10.

Seymour flooded the zone Saturday, pouring in 58 of his 79 pitches for strikes in a strong start. The southpaw tends to get hurt by the long ball, as he's served up at least one home run in seven of his last eight outings, but he's fanned at least seven on six occasions during that span. He'll bring a 4.27 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 150:34 K:BB over 122.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the division-rival Red Sox.

Arrighetti (8-9) picked up the win in Saturday's 7-3 victory over the Orioles, allowing one unearned run on two hits and two walks over 2.2 innings of relief. He struck out two.

The right-hander was the third of seven Toronto pitchers to take the mound on a bullpen day, and Arrighetti got credited with the win in a game his team never trailed. It was his first victory in a Blue Jays uniform, and over five appearances (two starts) since being acquired at the trade deadline from the Astros, he's produced a 6.87 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB in 18.1 innings. Arrighetti will continue being plugged in as necessary to help cover a couple holes in the rotation, but after throwing 50 pitches (26 strikes) on Saturday, it doesn't seem like he's viewed as a real candidate to make a traditional start.
