  • Kade Strowd P | BAL

    Orioles' Kade Strowd: Works scoreless outing Sunday

    Strowd threw 1.2 scoreless innings of relief Sunday against the Giants, allowing one hit and one walk with one strikeout.

    The rookie right-hander continues to be an effective member of Baltimore's new-look bullpen. Through 17 innings, Strowd has overcome a concerning 9:8 K:BB to produce a strong 1.59 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. Strowd has no holds or save chances in 2025, so he'll likely need to miss more bats and cut down on the walks in order to work his way up the pecking order.

  • Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Fans two for save

    Fairbanks allowed two hits in a scoreless ninth inning to earn a save over the Nationals on Sunday. He struck out two.

    Fairbanks worked around a pair of singles to escape unscathed in the 7-4 victory. He converted both of his save chances against Washington this weekend, but he's shown some shakiness lately; Fairbanks has given up four runs (three earned) on seven hits over his last five frames. Still, he owns a strong 2.81 ERA and 53:15 K:BB while converting 24 of his 29 save chances through 52 appearances.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Secures 32nd save

    Munoz pitched a clean inning with two strikeouts to pick up the save in Sunday's 4-2 victory at Cleveland.

    After hitting a rough patch with five runs (three earned) conceded in 4.1 frames over his last five appearances, Munoz showed no signs of struggle in this 16-pitch outing. The Seattle flamethrower now ranks third in saves behind Carlos Estevez (36) and Robert Suarez (35). Across 53.1 total innings, Munoz has produced a 1.69 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 68:24 K:BB while converting 32 of 39 save chances.

  • Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE

    Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Leave extended

    MLB and the MLBPA announced Sunday that Clase will remain on non-disciplinary paid leave until further notice while MLB continues its sports-betting investigation.

    The Guardians aren't planning on commenting further on Clase's status until the investigation concludes, but the reliever's locker at Progressive Field was cleared out nearly a month ago, which implies that the right-hander isn't expected to pitch again this season. Clase remains under club control through 2028, but whether he returns to the mound with the Guardians or another team down the road won't become clear until MLB releases the findings of its investigation.

  • Mitch Farris RP | LAA

    Angels' Mitch Farris: Possible candidate for rotation

    Farris was scratched ahead of his scheduled start Sunday with Double-A Rocket City and could be called up to enter the Angels rotation during the team's four-game series in Kansas City that begins Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    After optioning Jack Kochanowicz to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday and placing Tyler Anderson (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Sunday, the Angels will have openings in their rotation Tuesday and Wednesday in Kansas City. The newly signed Jose Urena looks like a strong bet to fill one of those slots, and Farris appears to be as good of a candidate as any within the organization to take over the other rotation vacancy. Though Farris doesn't have a spot on the 40-man roster and has yet to pitch at the Triple-A level, the 24-year-old lefty has dazzled over his last four starts for Rocket City, turning in a 1.52 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 32:6 K:BB in 23.2 innings. Even if he doesn't get the call to the big leagues during the upcoming week, Farris may have at the very least earned himself a bump up to Triple-A Salt Lake.

  • Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Up to 27 saves

    Chapman earned the save Sunday against the Pirates, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

    Fresh off signing a one-year contract extension with the Red Sox, Chapman kept rolling Sunday to lock down his 27th save this season. The lefty has held opponents without a hit in his last 12.2 innings, striking out 14 while issuing four walks in that span. Chapman's ERA is down to 1.02 with a 0.66 WHIP and 76 strikeouts across 53 innings this year.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Moves to 60-day IL

    The Blue Jays transferred Garcia (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

    The Blue Jays announced Friday that Garcia would require season-ending surgery to clean up scar tissue around his right elbow, so it was only a matter of time before he was shifted to the 60-day IL to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. The right-hander finished the 2025 campaign with a 3.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB over 21 innings. Garcia is owed $7.5 million for 2026 and is expected to be healthy for the start of spring training.

  • Bryse Wilson RP | CHW

    White Sox's Bryse Wilson: Called up Sunday

    The White Sox selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

    After Wilson produced a 6.65 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 27:19 K:BB in 45.1 innings over 19 appearances (five starts) in the majors, the White Sox pushed him off their 40-man roster June 10. He remained in the organization upon clearing waivers, and he's performed well as a swingman for Charlotte, netting a 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 36:8 K:BB in 39.2 innings over 14 appearances (seven starts). Assuming he isn't needed in relief Sunday, Wilson could slot into the rotation spot vacated by Aaron Civale, who had been scheduled to start Monday's game in Minnesota before he was claimed off waivers by the Cubs.

  • Hogan Harris RP | ATH

    Athletics' Hogan Harris: Scoreless streak continues

    Harris allowed a hit and no walks with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Rangers.

    While the Athletics' pitching staff struggled in Saturday's loss, Harris turned in a clean outing when called upon in the fifth inning. The left-hander has pieced together a scoreless August, tossing 10 innings across eight outings, a sharp improvement on the 4.35 ERA and 1.65 WHIP he carried over 41.1 innings in 30 big-league appearances through July.

  • Tyler Holton RP | DET

    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Takes loss in relief

    Holton (5-4) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk in two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Saturday against the Royals.

    Holton served up the key hit Saturday, a two-run home run by Bobby Witt in the bottom of the eighth inning that proved to be decisive in a 3-1 Kansas City victory. It wasn't a great matchup for the lefty reliever, as he has better numbers against same-handed hitters, and Witt crushes southpaws to the tune of a .934 OPS. Despite the setback, Holton still has a serviceable 3.84 ERA across 65.2 innings this season, and he remains part of Detroit's high-leverage crew.
