Walker picked up a hold Sunday against the Athletics, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless eighth inning. He struck out one.

The 31-year-old left-hander is emerging as a legitimate weapon out of the Baltimore bullpen in 2026. Walker has made 19 appearances for the Orioles, producing a 2.33 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB with three holds across 19.1 innings. He has not allowed a run in his last 10 appearances.

Cano picked up the save Sunday against the Athletics. He did not record a strikeout over a perfect inning.

Entering with a three-run cushion, Cano retired the side in order in the ninth inning to secure his third save of the season and a sweep for the Orioles. After a pair of blowup outings in which he surrendered six runs across two-thirds of an inning, the right-hander has bounced back with five consecutive scoreless appearances, though Sunday marked the first time during that stretch that he completed a full inning. Cano's 3.07 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB across 44 innings are strong enough to keep him in the ninth-inning equation, though Andrew Kittredge, who had pitched in each of the previous two games, appears to be Baltimore's top option for saves.

The Blue Jays optioned Van Eyk to Triple-A Buffalo after Sunday's 7-0 win over the Mariners.

Van Eyk was called up to the major-league roster Friday and went on deliver a scoreless inning of relief in the team's 8-1 victory over Seattle later that day. The right-hander went unused in the final two games of the series with the Mariners and will now head back to the minors.

Hader allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mets. He didn't strike out or walk a batter.

Hader got by pitching to contact Sunday, throwing seven of 13 pitches for strikes. He remains perfect in save chances, converting all 21 that have come his way this year, and he's on a 19-inning scoreless streak with a 20:3 K:BB in that span. Hader has a stellar 0.74 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 48:11 K:BB through 36.1 innings this season.

The Angels demoted Martin to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

After just four days with the big-league squad, the Halos are sending Martin back to Salt Lake. During his time in Triple-A this season, including with Durham in the Rays' system, the right-hander owns a 3-1 record, 2.79 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 55:27 K:BB over 48.1 innings. Los Angeles recalled Blake Weiman to take Martin's spot on the 26-man roster.

The Angels called up Weiman from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Weiman will get his second stint in the majors this month. In eight games with the big-league club, Weiman owns a 3.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB over nine innings. The Angels optioned Trevor Martin to Salt Lake to free a spot on the active roster for Weiman.

The Angels promoted Farris from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Farris will make his way back to the big-league club, where he has appeared in 26 games this season. Over 47.1 innings, the 25-year-old owns a 1-3 record, 4.18 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 49:23 K:BB. Los Angeles placed George Klassen (back) on the IL to make room for Farris on the active roster.

The Mariners recalled Davila from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

After recently being optioned Aug. 21, Davila will rejoin the big-league club as they wrap up a pivotal three-game set in Toronto. The 27-year-old has appeared in 23 MLB games this season, registering a 4.10 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB over 26.1 innings. Seattle sent Emerson Hancock (groin) to the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Yankees optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

After appearing in both games during Saturday's doubleheader against Boston, the Yankees optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A. Since being called up Aug. 4, the 28-year-old yielded just two earned runs over 11.1 innings out of the bullpen for New York. The Yankees promoted Luis Gil from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace De Los Santos on the active roster.

Sears tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers. He allowed two hits and struck out one.

Sears allowed five runs in four innings in his MLB debut back on Aug. 23, but he looked much sharper in his second appearance. The lefty was impressive against a tough Los Angeles lineup, and he provided a bridge to former Dodger closer Kenley Jansen, who picked up a one-out win. Sears may not have a ton of fantasy value in long relief this year, but he could make a case for a 2027 rotation spot if he pitches well during his audition.
