  • Alex Lange RP | KC

    Tigers' Alex Lange: Ready for 2025 debut

    The Tigers reinstated Lange (lat) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

    Lange will return to the Detroit bullpen for the first time since May 2024, after facing a long road back from the right lat surgery he underwent last July. The right-handed reliever has experienced a couple setbacks this season and had been pulled off a rehab assignment shortly before the All-Star break, but he returned to action for Triple-A Toledo on July 20 and allowed just one earned run in 6.2 innings over his final seven appearances to earn himself another opportunity with the big club. The Tigers opened up a spot in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster for Lange by optioning left-hander Bailey Horn to Triple-A.

  • Tayler Scott RP | HOU

    Astros' Tayler Scott: Back in big-league bullpen

    The Astros selected Scott's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.

    Scott holds a 6.66 ERA in 25.2 innings at the major-league level between stops with the Astros and Diamondbacks this season, but he'll get another chance with Houston after allowing six runs with an 11:7 K:BB over 11 frames at Sugar Land. The righty will likely be used in low-leverage spots.

  • Jordan Weems RP | HOU

    Astros' Jordan Weems: DFA'd by Astros

    The Astros designated Weems for assignment Monday.

    Weems will lose his spot on the 40-man roster after he coughed up five runs while retiring only one batter in his relief appearance during Sunday's 12-0 loss to the Orioles. Houston selected the contract of right-hander Tayler Scott from Triple-A Sugar Land to replace Weems in the bullpen.

  • Owen White RP | CHW

    White Sox's Owen White: Back up with big club

    The White Sox Sox" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" data-league-abbreviation="MLB" data-team-abbreviation="CHW">White Sox recalled White from Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

    White has made a couple relief appearances this season for the White Sox but has spent most of 2025 in the Charlotte rotation, holding a 4.93 ERA and 56:38 K:BB over 69.1 innings. He will give the bullpen a fresh arm ahead of Monday's series opener in Atlanta.

  • White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Receiving another start

    Gomez is scheduled to start Monday's game in Atlanta.

    The 25-year-old right-hander will draw a second straight turn through the White Sox rotation after he delivered an excellent performance in his first MLB start this past Tuesday against the Tigers. Gomez collected the win in an 89-pitch outing, striking out seven batters and inducing 16 swinging strikes while permitting one run and allowing four runners to reach base over five innings. Gomez's limited track record in the big leagues makes him a risky fantasy option ahead of what shapes up as a two-start week, but he had found some success at the Triple-A level prior to his call-up last week. Gomez had posted a 2.12 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB in 46.2 innings with the White Sox's top affiliate in Charlotte.

  • White Sox's Tyler Alexander: Tosses 2.1 innings Saturday

    Alexander struck out four and allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk over 2.1 innings in relief in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Royals.

    The veteran southpaw made a 4.1-inning bulk-relief appearance in his most recent outing Monday against the Tigers, but he was available for a more traditional bullpen role during the White Sox's weekend series in Kansas City. Alexander could be a candidate to make additional starts or bulk-relief appearances over the final six weeks of the season if another opening in the rotation emerges, but for now, the White Sox appear content to proceed with Yoendrys Gomez as their No. 5 starter.

  • Albert Suarez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Tosses three innings in rehab start

    Suarez (shoulder) struck out a batter and allowed one earned run on one hit and two walks over three innings in his rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Norfolk.

    After kicking off his rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Chesapeake with a two-inning start, Suarez moved up a level and tacked an inning on to his workload in his second outing in the minors. The Orioles are expected to deploy Suarez in long relief once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, but he'll likely continue to get further stretched out during his rehab assignment just in case he's needed to provide insurance for the rotation over the final month of the season. Suarez has been on the shelf since March 30 due to a right subscapularis strain.

  • Yankees' Jonathan Loaisiga: Starts up rehab assignment

    Loaisiga (back) began a rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and struck out a batter while allowing one hit and one walk over one scoreless inning.

    Loaisiga was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 3 due to right mid-back stiffness, but his ability to begin a rehab assignment two weeks later suggests he won't be in line for an extended stay on the shelf. The right-hander had submitted a 4.25 ERA and 1.48 WHIP while collecting one save and seven holds over 29.2 innings before landing on the IL.

  • Rangers' Shawn Armstrong: Collects four-out save

    Armstrong earned his fourth save of the season during Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays, striking out one batter across 1.1 innings.

    The Rangers turned to Armstrong to get the final out in the eighth after Hoby Milner yielded a two-run homer to George Springer and Cole Winn walked two-straight batters. Armstrong helped Texas escape the frame by getting Alejandro Kirk out and stayed on to close things out in the ninth, ending the game by striking out Myles Straw. In 14 appearances since the All-Star break, Armstrong has allowed just one run on five hits and two walks while striking out 16 over 13.1 innings.

  • Greg Weissert RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Greg Weissert: Squanders save chance

    Weissert (4-4) took the loss and blew a save during Sunday's game against Miami, allowing two runs on two hits with no strikeouts over one-third of an inning.

    The Red Sox called upon Weissert in the ninth inning Sunday, as closer Aroldis Chapman got the day off after pitching in back-to-back games. Weissert inherited a one-run lead, but he surrendered a leadoff homer to Dane Myers on his second pitch of the inning. The 30-year-old reliever departed the contest with a runner on first in favor of Steven Matz, who yielded a go-ahead two-run homer to the first batter he faced. Weissert has now blown seven of his 10 save chances, and he yielded multiple runs in an outing Sunday for the first time since July 2.
