  • Kevin Kelly RP | TB

    Rays' Kevin Kelly: Rejoins MLB bullpen

    The Rays recalled Kelly from Triple-A Durham on Monday.

    Kelly holds an unsightly 5.93 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through 27.1 innings with the Rays this season. He'll give the club another relief arm for the final month of the campaign.

  • Albert Suarez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Returns from 60-day IL

    The Orioles activated Suarez (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

    Suarez hasn't pitched in the big leagues since suffering a shoulder strain in his first appearance of the season back on March 28. He made five rehab appearances, registering a 3.55 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 5:6 K:BB across 12.2 innings of work. Now healthy again, Suarez is expected to work as a long-relief option for Baltimore.

  • Trevor Megill RP | MIL

    Brewers' Trevor Megill: Bullpen session slated for Thursday

    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that Megill (elbow) has been playing catch and has a bullpen session scheduled for Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Megill landed on the 15-day injured list last Wednesday with a Grade 1 right flexor strain, but he's aiming for a minimum-length stay on the IL and appears to be tracking toward achieving that goal. The reliever will be eligible for activation Sept. 9. Abner Uribe has been filling in as the Brewers' closer since Megill was placed on the shelf.

  • Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Giants transferred Rodriguez (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    Rodriguez needs Tommy John surgery and is expected to remain out through the end of the 2026 season. The All-Star reliever was electric out of the San Francisco bullpen this season, posting a 1.78 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 67:11 K:BB across 50.2 innings. Rodriguez took over as the Giants' closer following the trade of Camilo Doval to the Yankees in late July, but Ryan Walker looks poised to see most of the save chances for San Francisco in September.

  • Ryan Rolison RP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Rolison: Rejoins big club

    The Rockies recalled Rolison from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

    Rolison will provide the Rockies with another relief arm in September. The lefty has a 7.41 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 21:18 K:BB over 37.2 innings with Colorado this season.

  • Giants' JT Brubaker: Joins big-league roster

    The Giants selected Brubaker's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

    Brubaker inked a minor-league deal with San Francisco last month following his release from the Yankees. The 31-year-old right-hander pitched in 12 games out of the bullpen for New York this season, logging a 3.38 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 10:9 K:BB across 16 innings. He'll likely work in relief for the Giants initially, but he could get a look in the rotation at some point in September with injuries having tested the team's starting depth of late.

  • Riley O'Brien RP | STL

    Cardinals' Riley O'Brien: Shut down from throwing

    O'Brien will be shut down from throwing after undergoing an MRI on his sore right shoulder Monday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    The Cardinals have yet to provide word on the results of the MRI, but a move to the 15-day injured list for O'Brien feels inevitable. O'Brien has been used as a high-leverage reliever for the Cardinals over the last couple months and picked up a pair of saves in August, but now his health status is murky. JoJo Romero is the favorite to close games for the Cardinals in September, with Kyle Leahy also in the mix.

  • Craig Yoho RP | MIL

    Brewers' Craig Yoho: Back in majors

    The Brewers recalled Yoho from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Yoho came into the season as one of baseball's top reliever prospects, but his control has deserted him in the majors. He has an 8.22 ERA and 9:5 BB:K in 7.2 innings across three separate stints with the Brewers in 2025. Yoho has been as advertised at Triple-A, however, logging a 1.04 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 55 strikeouts and seven saves in 43.1 innings across 39 appearances. Yoho should work in low-leverage situations as he rejoins Milwaukee, at least initially.

  • Sauryn Lao RP | WAS

    Mariners' Sauryn Lao: DFA'd by Seattle

    The Mariners designated Lao for assignment Monday.

    Lao was booted from the 40-man roster in order to make room for right-hander Luke Jackson, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma. The 26-year-old Lao appeared in two games out of the bullpen for Seattle this season, registering an 8.10 ERA, 2.10 WHIP and 4:1 K:BB across 3.1 innings.

  • Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Set for call-up Tuesday

    The Tigers are expected to recall Gipson-Long from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mets, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    With the active roster expanding from 26 to 28 men Monday, Detroit recalled right-hander Chase Lee and outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy from Triple-A to fill the two openings, but the Tigers will make another move Tuesday to facilitate Gipson-Long's call-up. The Tigers don't have a starter listed for Tuesday, so Gipson-Long appears likely to begin that game on the mound or serve as a bulk reliever. The right-hander has previously made six appearances (two starts) for the Tigers this season, logging a 4.32 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB in 25 innings.
