  • Nathan Wiles RP | ATL

    Braves' Nathan Wiles: Recalled from Triple-A

    Atlanta recalled Wiles from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

    Wiles was knocked around in his major-league debut earlier this season with Atlanta, allowing three runs over one inning. He's been used mostly as a starter at Gwinnett, so Wiles will offer length in the bullpen after starter Cal Quantrill lasted only 3.1 innings in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.

  • John Brebbia RP | ATL

    Braves' John Brebbia: Added to roster

    Atlanta selected Brebbia's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

    Brebbia posted a 1.89 ERA and 21:3 K:BB over 19 innings with Gwinnett after inking a minor-league contract with Atlanta in June. The veteran reliever holds an unsightly 7.71 ERA at the big-league level this season and will work in middle relief.

  • Ty Adcock RP | NYM

    Mets' Ty Adcock: Sent outright to Triple-A

    The Mets outrighted Adcock to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

    The 28-year-old is now off the Mets' 40-man roster, clearing a spot for Jonah Tong, who was called up from Syracuse to make his major-league debut Friday versus the Marlins. Adcock has made three appearances in the big leagues this season, allowing one run while striking out five over three frames.

  • Michael Kopech RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Return set for next week

    Kopech (knee) is expected to be activated off the injured list during the Dodgers' next road trip, which begins Tuesday in Pittsburgh, per MLB.com.

    Kopech is six outings into a minor-league rehab assignment, during which he's posted a 7.20 ERA, 2.40 WHIP and 4:6 K:BB over five innings. While those numbers aren't pretty, three of the four runs he's allowed came in his first rehab appearance, and he followed that matchup with four consecutive scoreless outings. By waiting until after Sept. 1 to activate Kopech, Los Angeles won't need to make a corresponding roster move, as the veteran reliever is slated to be one of the team's two players added when rosters expand.

  • 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.

  • Owen White RP | CHW

    White Sox's Owen White: Begins rehab assignment

    White (hip) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

    White has been on the injured list since Aug. 19, one day after making his third appearance in the majors this season. It's unclear if he'll stick in the White Sox's bullpen upon his activation.

  • JoJo Romero RP | STL

    Cardinals' JoJo Romero: Collects fifth save Thursday

    Romero allowed one hit and no walks with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning for the save Thursday against Pittsburgh.

    Romero picked up his fifth save of the season, and each of which have come following the trade of Ryan Helsley. Riley O'Brien worked a clean eighth inning for a hold, and Romero should continue sharing ninth-inning work with O'Brien based on matchups to finish out the campaign. Romero owns a 2.25 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 45:22 K:BB over 48 innings in 2025.

  • Calvin Faucher RP | MIA

    Marlins' Calvin Faucher: Registers 13th save

    Faucher struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

    Faucher took care of business on a tidy seven pitches (six strikes) to secure his second save in as many outings. It's been an uneven August for the right-hander -- he's taken two losses while adding three saves and a hold, and he's given up four runs (two earned) over 10 innings. On the year, he's 13-for-18 in save chances with six holds, a 3.35 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB through 51 innings. Faucher looks to still have the edge over Ronny Henriquez for save chances, though the Marlins haven't produced a lot of those opportunities this month.

  • Bryan Abreu RP | HOU

    Astros' Bryan Abreu: Extends scoreless streak in save

    Abreu notched the save Thursday against Colorado, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

    Abreu secured his fourth save of the year and extended his scoreless streak to 13 innings. With Josh Hader (shoulder) likely to be out until the playoffs, Abreu has established a fairly strong grip on Houston's closer gig. The veteran right-hander has a 1.47 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 93:25 K:BB over 61.1 innings.
