    Orioles' Colin Selby: Rehab assignment pending

    Selby (hamstring) is expected to begin a rehab assignment this week, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reported Sunday.

    Selby has been on the shelf with a strained left hamstring since July 29. It's unclear how many rehab outings the 27-year-old reliever will require before being reinstated from the IL, but it seems as though he'll be healthy before the end of the regular season. In nine appearances with the Orioles in 2025, Selby logged a 4.09 ERA with a 12:2 K:BB across 11 innings.

    Fairbanks (4-5) allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out one across one inning to take the loss Saturday against the Guardians.

    Fairbanks entered the game in the ninth inning with the score tied 2-2. He allowed the first two batters he faced to reach base, which was enough for the Guardians to push across one run. While Fairbanks wasn't hit particularly hard, he has a 4.15 ERA since the All-Star break, allowing at least one earned run in six of his last 17 appearances.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Remaining in rotation

    Cantillo is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Royals at Progressive Field.

    In the midst of a stretch of 17 games in 17 days that began Aug. 29, the Guardians have moved to a six-man rotation that now features Cantillo, who was recalled from Triple-A Columbus this past Wednesday. Taking the hill for the big club for the first time since Aug. 15, Cantillo shined against the Red Sox, earning a win while striking out seven and allowing one earned run on five hits and two walks. Over 30 appearances (nine starts) on the season for Cleveland, the lefty owns a 4-3 record, 3.73 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 87:38 K:BB in 72.1 innings.

    Guardians' Cade Smith: Earns 10th save

    Smith earned the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rays, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

    Smith was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth and retired the heart of the Rays' order on 14 pitches. Since stepping into the Guardians' closer role July 28, the 26-year-old has converted seven of 10 save chances with a 4.00 ERA across 19 outings, though he's held opponents scoreless in 14 of them. On the year, he's compiled 19 holds and 10 saves along with a 3.30 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 85:19 K:BB over 62.2 innings.

  • David Bednar RP | NYY

    Yankees' David Bednar: Secures save Saturday

    Bednar earned a save against the Blue Jays on Saturday, striking out three batters over 1.1 scoreless innings.

    Bednar was called upon in the eighth inning with two outs and a runner on first base. He threw a wild pitch but was able to fan Nathan Lukes to get out of the frame unscathed. The veteran closer then returned for the ninth and retired the side in order to close out the win for New York. This was Bednar's first save since Aug. 16, though he picked up two wins over five games in the interim. Since joining the Yankees at the trade deadline, Bednar has gone 4-for-7 in save opportunities but has posted a solid 2.87 ERA with a 25:6 K:BB across 15.2 frames spanning 13 appearances.
