Jovani Moran RP | BOS
Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Set to be recalled
The Red Sox will recall Moran from Triple-A Worcester prior to Tuesday's game in Baltimore, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
He'll take the roster spot vacated by Richard Fitts (biceps). Moran has made a couple relief appearances with the Red Sox this season, allowing three runs with a 5:3 K:BB over four innings. The lefty has often been used for multiple innings during his outings in the majors and minors this season, so he'll offer the bullpen some length.

Orioles' Scott Blewett: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Orioles transferred Blewett (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
The right-hander has been sidelined by elbow discomfort since July 13, and he now won't be eligible to be reinstated until mid-September. Blewett has pitched for three MLB clubs this season and has a combined 5.48 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 35:18 K:BB over 44.1 innings.

Shawn Dubin RP | BAL
Orioles' Shawn Dubin: Claimed by Baltimore
The Orioles claimed Dubin off waivers from the Astros on Tuesday.
Dubin posted a 1.33 ERA over his first 18 appearances for the Astros this season before allowing 13 runs in 5.1 August innings to lose his spot on the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old will join the Orioles' bullpen, although he has not yet officially reported to the club.

Fernando Cruz RP | NYY
Yankees' Fernando Cruz: Reinstated from injured list
The Yankees activated Cruz (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
Cruz wound up missing two months of action with a strained left oblique but is ready to go following a brief rehab assignment. It's a big boost to the Yankees' bullpen, as Cruz boasts a 3.00 ERA and elite 41.2 percent strikeout rate in 2025.

Garrett Whitlock RP | BOS
Red Sox's Garrett Whitlock: Pitches into/out of trouble
Whitlock allowed one hit and struck out three over one scoreless inning to earn his 20th hold in Monday's 4-3 win over Baltimore.
Whitlock entered a one-run game to open the eighth inning and ceded a leadoff double to Gunnar Henderson before buckling down to strike out the next three hitters. The right-hander's having a strong second half, allowing just one earned run and three walks while striking out 17 over 15.1 innings (0.59 ERA, 0.85 WHIP) since the All-Star break.

Yerry De Los Santos RP | NYY
Yankees' Yerry De Los Santos: Demoted to Triple-A
De Los Santos was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Monday's 10-5 win over the Nationals.
De Los Santos allowed four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 2.2 innings in Monday's contest, so the Yankees will send him down in favor of a fresh arm. Fernando Cruz (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday in a corresponding move.

Aroldis Chapman RP | BOS
Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Shuts door for 25th save
Chapman notched the save in Monday's 4-3 win over Baltimore, tossing a clean ninth inning with no strikeouts.
The All-Star southpaw's spectacular campaign continues, as he's now rattled off 13 consecutive scoreless appearances. Chapman is putting together arguably the best season of his outstanding career, submitting a 1.06 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 71:14 K:BB over 51 innings. He's also successfully converted 25 of his 27 save chances as Boston's closer.

Ian Seymour P | TB
Rays' Ian Seymour: Carves up Guardians in first start
Seymour (2-0) earned the win Monday against the Guardians, allowing one hit and one walk in five shutout innings. He struck out eight.
It was a standout performance from the rookie southpaw, who fanned a season-high eight and poured in 49 of his season-high 67 pitches for strikes in his first career major-league start. It's unclear if Seymour will remain in the rotation, but this showing certainly bodes well for his chances of doing so. Seymour may not be quite ready to handle a typical starter's workload if he takes his next scheduled turn this weekend against the Nationals, though he now owns a strong 3.18 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB over 28.1 big-league frames.
