  • Rangers' Caleb Boushley: Struggles in spot start

    Boushley took a no-decision Wednesday against Kansas City, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks in three innings. He struck out one.

    Boushley struggled in his first start of the season, though it's worth noting he was working on just one day of rest. The right-hander threw 68 pitches Wednesday, so he likely won't be available out of the Rangers' bullpen for a few days. Boushley has a 5.22 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB across 39.2 innings, and Jacob deGrom (shoulder) is tentatively projected to retake his place in Texas' rotation next week against the division-rival Angels.

  • Tyler Ferguson RP | ATH

    Athletics' Tyler Ferguson: Records second save

    Ferguson picked up the save in Wednesday's 4-2 extra-inning win over the Twins, allowing no hits and one walk with no strikeouts in a scoreless 10th inning.

    The save was Ferguson's second of the year and his first since May 4 in Miami. The 31-year-old right-hander has rattled off 7.1 consecutive scoreless innings, though he likely still has work to do before the Athletics trust him in the high-leverage mix on a consistent basis following the Mason Miller trade. For the campaign, Ferguson has a 5.53 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 41:29 K:BB over 42.1 innings.

  • Cubs' Daniel Palencia: Survives for 18th save

    Palencia recorded the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Milwaukee, allowing one run on two hits and two walks in the ninth inning. He struck out two.

    Palencia allowed a run for the fourth time in his last seven outings, but he was able to hang on for save No. 18 on the year. The right-hander has a shaky 5.14 ERA in August, but his ERA still stands at an excellent 1.97 for the season over 45.2 innings. Palencia has blown just two saves all year, and he also sports a 1.01 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB through 44 appearances.

  • Caleb Thielbar RP | CHC

    Cubs' Caleb Thielbar: Continues strong stretch

    Thielbar, who tossed 1.1 scoreless innings of relief with two strikeouts in Wednesday's win over the Brewers, has 13 scoreless appearances across his last 14 outings.

    The only blemish in the stretch of scoreless outings for Thielbar was his Aug. 3 appearance when he allowed a game-winning, two-run home run to Baltimore. The veteran southpaw has been outstanding all season for the Cubs, as he now has a 2.12 ERA and 46 strikeouts across 46.2 innings. Thielbar has been particularly tough against left-handed batters, limiting them to just a .125 batting average.

  • Red Sox's Cooper Criswell: Placed on IL at Triple-A

    Criswell was placed on the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday due to right elbow inflammation, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Criswell has spent most of the 2025 season at Triple-A but has appeared in seven games (one start) with the Red Sox, logging a 3.57 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB across 17.2 innings of work. He owns a 4-2 record, 3.70 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 68:28 K:BB across 65.2 innings at Triple-A and will now be unavailable for at least the next week.

  • Kirby Yates RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Kirby Yates: Likely back this weekend

    Yates (back) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of the Dodgers' upcoming weekend series against the Padres, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Both Yates and Tanner Scott (elbow) began a rehab assignment this week and each got an inning of work Tuesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Manager Dave Roberts said both will "probably not" pitch again in the minors prior to rejoining the Dodgers' 26-man roster for this weekend's critical series. Yates hasn't pitched since July 26 and holds a 4.31 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 44:12 K:BB across 31.1 innings out of the bullpen this season.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Expected back this weekend

    Scott (elbow) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of the Dodgers' upcoming weekend series against the Padres, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Scott threw one relief inning during a rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, and manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Scott will "probably not" pitch again in the minors before rejoining the big-league club. Scott hasn't pitched with Los Angeles since July 21 and holds a 4.14 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 50:11 K:BB across 45.2 innings this season. He's notched 19 saves and should be back in the closer mix once reinstated.

  • Dennis Santana RP | PIT

    Pirates' Dennis Santana: Locks down ninth save

    Santana earned the save in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    Santana made quick work of the middle of Toronto's lineup, retiring the side in order to close out his ninth save in 11 chances this year. Santana has turned in five straight scoreless appearances (5.1 innings), allowing just two hits while striking out four in that span. His ERA is down to 2.32 through 54.1 innings this season with a 0.88 WHIP and 43:11 K:BB.

  • Alexis Diaz RP | ATL

    Dodgers' Alexis Diaz: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Dodgers optioned Diaz to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

    The move corresponds with the Dodgers recalling Paul Gervase from Triple-A. Diaz has struggled out of the bullpen in three of his last five outings, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five across 4.2 innings over that span. He'll look to regain his control in Triple-A and could return to the majors should the Dodgers need right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

  • Paul Gervase RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Paul Gervase: Recalled by Dodgers

    The Dodgers recalled Gervase from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

    Gervase will join the Dodgers' bullpen while Alexis Diaz was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Gervase was acquired by the Dodgers from the Rays in late July and has appeared in five games for Oklahoma City, where he's posted a 2.08 ERA and 0.85 WHIP over 8.2 innings. He pitched in five major-league games for Tampa Bay before being traded and had a 4.26 ERA and 1.74 WHIP across 6.1 frames.
