  • Bailey Horn P | DET

    Tigers' Bailey Horn: Placed on paternity list

    The Tigers placed Horn on the paternity list Tuesday.

    Horn will be allowed to miss up to three games while he welcomes a new addition to his family. Drew Sommers was recalled from Triple-A Toledo to fill the opening in Detroit's bullpen.

  • John Rooney RP | HOU

    Astros' John Rooney: Slated for elbow surgery

    Rooney will undergo surgery on his left elbow this week, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Rooney had already been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, and now the lefty has opted for surgery. It's unclear what specific type of procedure he will have, but it could certainly affect his availability for the start of the 2026 season.

  • Logan VanWey RP | HOU

    Astros' Logan VanWey: Sent back to minors

    The Astros optioned VanWey to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

    VanWey made one scoreless appearance during his most recent stint in the majors. J.P. France is taking his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

  • Rays' Brian Van Belle: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Rays transferred Van Belle (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    The right-hander landed on the injured list over the weekend due to elbow inflammation and will now be sidelined for the rest of the season. The results of Van Belle's MRI have yet to be disclosed, so it's unclear if he's expected to be available for the start of spring training.

  • Rays' Caleb Boushley: Claimed by Rays

    The Rays claimed Boushley off waivers from the Rangers on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham.

    Boushley has posted a 6.02 ERA in 43.1 innings during his time with the Rangers this season. The 31-year-old has minor-league options remaining will report to Durham for now, but he could join the major-league club later this month.

  • Paul Sewald RP | DET

    Tigers' Paul Sewald: Nearing return?

    Sewald (shoulder), who has logged two scoreless innings in a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan, could return from the injured list as soon as Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

    Sewald has yet to pitch for Detroit after getting acquired in a trade before the deadline. The 33-year-old righty last saw the mound on July 11 when he was with Cleveland, and he posted a 4.70 ERA and 18 strikeouts across 15.1 innings for the Guardians before going down with a right shoulder strain. The Tigers are hoping Sewald can provide some veteran bullpen depth for the stretch run, though he's unlikely to see save chances ahead of Will Vest and Kyle Finnegan (groin) once he's healthy.

  • Steven Cruz RP | KC

    Royals' Steven Cruz: Ready for rehab assignment

    Cruz (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    Cruz has missed more than a month of action with right shoulder tendinitis but is ready to test things out in a game setting. As long as things go well, the righty reliever shouldn't require too many rehab outings before being reinstated from the 15-day injured list.

  • Danny Coulombe RP | TEX

    Rangers' Danny Coulombe: Rehab assignment coming

    Coulombe (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Friday, MLB.com reports.

    Coulombe last pitched Aug. 26 against the Angels, when he allowed a pair of home runs. He'll join Frisco for its final three games of the regular season. That gives the left-handed reliever ample opportunity to prepare for a potential activation Sept. 16, the earliest date on which he could return.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Locks down 33rd save

    Munoz picked up the save in Monday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

    The hard-throwing righty made quick work of St. Louis, issuing only a one-out walk to Ivan Herrera before striking out Alec Burleson and Nolan Gorman to secure his 33rd save of the season. It was Munoz's first outing since Aug. 31, as Seattle's schedule since then featured a four-game losing skid followed by back-to-back blowout wins over Atlanta that didn't require his services.

  • Caden Dana SP | LAA

    Angels' Caden Dana: Punches out nine in loss

    Dana (0-1) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks over 4.2 innings in a 12-3 loss to the Twins. He struck out nine.

    Dana flashed both his potential and his flaws in his latest outing, piling up nine strikeouts but also issuing five walks and serving up two home runs. The right-hander has made four big-league appearances this season, including two starts since being recalled Sept. 3, and sits with a 6.32 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 15.2 innings. While his 19 strikeouts show the swing-and-miss upside, 11 walks and continued issues with home runs highlight the command struggles holding him back.
