  • Caden Dana SP | LAA

    Angels' Caden Dana: Staying in rotation

    Dana is slated to start Monday's game against the Twins in Anaheim.

    He'll remain in the rotation for another turn after he limited the Royals to two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk over five innings last Wednesday upon getting recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. Through three outings (one start) in the big leagues on the season, Dana owns a 4.91 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB in 11 innings. Dana should be able to maintain a starting role for the Angels for the rest of the season, and if he closes the campaign on a high note, he could have an inside track on a spot in the Opening Day rotation heading into spring training.

  • Twins' Genesis Cabrera: Notches save Sunday

    Cabrera pitched a scoreless third of an inning, allowing one walk, to collect the save in Sunday's 5-1 win against Kansas City.

    After reliever Justin Topa allowed two batters to reach in the ninth and left with a sore knee, Cabrera was called upon to secure the final out of this contest. The veteran southpaw walked the first batter he faced before inducing a Mike Yastrzemski flyout to wrap the game. Cabrera, who joined Minnesota on Aug. 17 after being released by Pittsburgh, tallied his sixth career save but does not figure to garner many future opportunities given the Twins' recent fortunes along with his current middle-relief role.

  • Mike Vasil P | CHW

    White Sox's Mike Vasil: Picks up fourth save

    Vasil pitched a clean inning with one strikeout to collect the save in Sunday's 6-4 win at Detroit.

    Just when it looked like Jordan Leasure was cementing the White Sox's closer role, manager Will Venable threw a wrench into everything Sunday. Leasure pitched the eighth against the heart of the Tigers order (Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson, Wenceel Perez and Dillon Dingler), leaving the ninth for Vasil. The 25-year-old figures to continue garnering occasional save opportunities, as it looks like Leasure is being used in a high-leverage role. Vasil now sports a solid 2.54 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 74:46 K:BB across 92 total frames.

  • Tommy Kahnle RP | DET

    Tigers' Tommy Kahnle: Struggles in fourth loss

    Kahnle (1-4) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while retiring only two batters in relief to take the loss Sunday against the White Sox.

    After a rough patch earlier this summer, Kahnle had seemingly righted the ship with seven straight scoreless appearances coming into Sunday, but he took a step backward with a rough performance. The veteran righty now has a 4.80 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 54.1 innings this season, which is a far cry from the 2.11 ERA and 1.15 WHIP he posted in 42.2 regular-season innings for the Yankees last year.

  • Cade Smith P | CLE

    Guardians' Cade Smith: Up to 11 saves

    Smith earned the save in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rays, striking out three in a perfect ninth inning.

    Smith has turned in three straight perfect outings following a stretch of seven appearances (5.2 innings) during which he allowed seven earned runs while taking a pair of blown saves. Overall, Smith is 11-for-16 in save opportunities while posting a 3.25 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP and 88:13 K:BB across 63.2 innings this season.

  • Chase Silseth RP | LAA

    Angels' Chase Silseth: Returns to Triple-A

    The Angels optioned Silseth to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

    The right-hander was promoted from Salt Lake on Saturday and will return to Triple-A after giving up a run over 1.2 innings against the A's. Silseth has made four appearances in the majors this season and has allowed just one earned run with a 6:5 K:BB across four frames.

  • Sammy Peralta RP | MIL

    Angels' Sammy Peralta: Contract selected

    The Angels selected Peralta's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

    The left-hander joined the Halos on a minor-league deal in May and will now receive a look in the majors. Peralta posted a 4.33 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 70:14 K:BB across 70.2 innings with Salt Lake this season and is likely to fill a low-leverage relief role for the Angels.

  • Josh Sborz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Sborz: Won't return in 2025

    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Sborz (shoulder) has been shut down for the remainder of the season, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    He'll go the entire 2025 season without pitching in the majors, with Bochy noting that the decision not to activate Sborz from the 60-day injured list stems from the right-hander not being able to consistently reach his expected velocity coming off the shoulder surgery he underwent last November. With a full offseason to rest and ramp up, Sborz should be a full participant at the start of spring training.

  • Carl Edwards RP | TEX

    Rangers' Carl Edwards: Joining big-league club

    The Rangers selected Edwards' contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Edwards inked a minor-league deal with the Rangers on July 22, and after posting a 5.31 ERA in eight appearances (seven starts) at Round Rock, he'll join the active roster. The 34-year-old started the season in the Angels' organization and logged a 1.54 ERA in 11.2 innings with their Triple-A affiliate before electing free agency in May.

  • Rangers' Caleb Boushley: DFA'd by Rangers

    The Rangers designated Boushley for assignment Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Boushley made four appearances after being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Aug. 27, allowing nine runs (six earned) with a 5:1 K:BB across 3.2 innings. Texas selected Carl Edwards' contract in a corresponding move. Boushley owns a 6.02 ERA in 43.1 innings with the Rangers this season.
