  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Blows save, takes loss Friday

    Munoz (3-2) blew the save and took the loss against the Guardians on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits in one-third of an inning. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.

    Munoz was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning and gave up a run on back-to-back hits before surrendering a walk-off sacrifice fly to Steven Kwan. It marked Munoz's first blown save in 11 chances since the All-Star break, though he's now allowed at least one run in four of his last five outings. Despite the rough stretch, the 26-year-old still carries a 1.72 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 66:24 K:BB with 31 saves across 52.1 innings.

  • Greg Weissert RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Greg Weissert: Squanders Tolle's debut

    Weissert (6-5) blew the save and took the loss against the Pirates on Friday after allowing one run on two hits while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning.

    Weissert was brought in for the sixth inning with two runners on base, tasked with protecting the Red Sox's two-run lead and to put southpaw Payton Tolle in line for his first major-league win. Weissert wasn't able to get the job done, yielding two doubles in a row that brought three runs home to put him in line for the loss. With Friday's performance, the 30-year-old right-hander has a 3.48 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 10.1 innings in August.

  • Chris Martin RP | TEX

    Rangers' Chris Martin: Sent out for rehab assignment

    Martin (calf) was sent to Double-A Frisco on Friday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Martin is scheduled to pitch for Frisco on Friday, a significant step in the right direction after he was pulled from a live batting practice last Saturday. The 39-year-old will likely need a longer ramp-up period, considering he's been sidelined for over a month with a strained left calf.

  • Beau Brieske RP | DET

    Tigers' Beau Brieske: Done for 2025

    Brieske will be shut down for the rest of the 2025 season due to a right elbow injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Brieske has been on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list since July 14. The severity of his elbow injury is enough for him to miss the rest of the season, though he'll be shut down for at least four-to-six weeks and doesn't appear to be in immediate danger of missing the start of spring training, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Brieske appeared in 22 major-league games in 2025 and finished with a 6.55 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 16:12 K:BB across 22 innings.

  • Nick Sandlin RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Nick Sandlin: Aiming to resume throwing

    Sandlin received an injection Monday to reduce the inflammation in his right elbow and is aiming to resume his throwing program Saturday or Sunday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

    Sandlin has been on the 15-day injured list since July 8 due to right elbow inflammation. He's had his throwing program shut down twice due to setbacks, but the hope is that Monday's cortisone injection will be enough for the 28-year-old right-hander to get back on track with his recovery. Sandlin posted a 2.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and three saves across 16.1 innings prior to landing on the IL.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Will undergo elbow surgery

    Garcia needs surgery to clean up scar tissue around his right elbow and will be sidelined for the remainder of the season, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Garcia has dealt with an elbow issue since around the All-Star break and has had trouble getting over the hump with his injury, so the decision has been made to have surgery. It's a major blow to the Blue Jays' bullpen, as Garcia has been a key setup man. Garcia is expected to be ready for spring training.

  • Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE

    Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Will remain on restricted list

    Clase is expected to remain on the restricted list and administrative leave for the remainder of the season as MLB continues its sports-betting investigation, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

    The news comes as no surprise, as Clase's locker at Progressive Field was cleared out at the beginning of the month. The right-hander has been away from the Guardians since late July and there's no word on when MLB's investigation could conclude. The reliever's future in baseball is very much in doubt.

  • Ian Seymour P | TB

    Rays' Ian Seymour: Receiving second start

    Seymour is slated to start Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    The rookie southpaw will stick in the rotation after a magnificent first MLB start Monday, when he struck out eight Guardians and allowed just two baserunners over five scoreless frames. Seymour owns a 3.18 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB in 28.1 innings over his first 13 big-league appearances, and the Rays should have a permanent spot available for him if he continues to excel. Seymour will get a prime opportunity to build up more job security against a Nationals offense that has produced an 80 wRC+ versus left-handers this season.

  • Carson Fulmer RP | LAA

    Angels' Carson Fulmer: Unlikely to pitch again this season

    Fulmer is dealing with a right elbow strain and probably won't return to pitching this season, per MLB.com.

    Fulmer was originally diagnosed with elbow inflammation when he landed on the injured list Sunday, but further testing revealed a strain. The injury may not require surgery, but it's serious enough to likely end his 2025 campaign. If that's the case, Fulmer will finish the season with a 5.83 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 26:11 K:BB over 29.1 innings across 13 appearances with the Angels.

  • Angels' Hunter Strickland: Not yet throwing

    Strickland (shoulder) is progressing in his recovery from a right shoulder strain but isn't yet throwing, per MLB.com.

    The details of how Strickland is "progressing" aren't clear, but it's nonetheless the first positive report on the reliever since he landed on the IL with a right shoulder strain July 7. While the injury was considered significant, it didn't require surgery, and there remains a possibility that Strickland could be back with the Angels sometime in September. However, in order for that to happen, he'll likely need to begin a throwing progression in the relatively near future.
