  • Jack Anderson RP | MIN

    Twins' Jack Anderson: Summoned from minors

    The Twins recalled Anderson from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

    Anderson was a waiver claim of the Twins earlier this month and will now get his first opportunity in the majors with his new organization. The right-hander is expected to pitch during Tuesday's game versus the Guardians, likely following Kendry Rojas.

  • Zack Kelly RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Zack Kelly: Called up, placed on 60-day IL

    The Red Sox recalled Kelly (elbow) from Triple-A Worcester and placed him on the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    The right-hander landed on the 7-day IL at Worcester in early July due to elbow inflammation, and he'll now be sidelined until at least early September. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but it's possible that Kelly has already thrown his last competitive pitch of the season.

  • Eduardo Rivera SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Eduardo Rivera: Making another start Tuesday

    Rivera will start Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Ranger Suarez (groin) was scheduled to come off the injured list to start Tuesday, but the Red Sox will instead turn to Rivera. The rookie left-hander has made three appearances for Boston this year and has given up three earned runs with a 9:4 K:BB over 9.1 innings.

  • Riley Cornelio RP | WAS

    Nationals' Riley Cornelio: Collects first big-league win

    Cornelio (1-1) picked up the win Monday, walking two batters over 1.2 no-hit, scoreless relief innings in a victory over the Rockies. He didn't record a strikeout.

    It was the 26-year-old's first career win in his eighth appearance. Control continues to elude Cornelio for the most part, as he has a 17:15 K:BB through 16.1 innings with a 6.06 ERA and 1.90 WHIP, and he'll remain in a low-leverage role as long as that continues.

  • Jose Fermin RP | LAA

    Angels' Jose Fermin: Credited with victory Monday

    Fermin (3-1) earned the win over St. Louis on Monday, walking one batter and striking out two over one scoreless inning.

    Fermin entered in the ninth frame with the Angels down 2-1. He didn't exactly have pinpoint control, throwing just 10 of 21 pitches for strikes, but the righty reliever worked around a two-out walk and then got the win when the Angels walked it off in the bottom of the inning. Fermin has been outstanding since his most recent call-up June 15, posting a 0.56 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB over 16 innings spanning 12 appearances. He has only one hold and no saves over that span, but he could begin to see more high-leverage opportunities with continued success.

  • Miles Mikolas RP | WAS

    Nationals' Miles Mikolas: Following opener Tuesday

    Mikolas will be deployed as a bulk reliever in Tuesday's game versus the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    Back in action after serving a five-game suspension, Mikolas will make his 13th appearance of the season out of the bullpen while pitching behind opener Carson Palmquist. Mikolas went four scoreless innings in bulk relief his last time out against the Yankees on July 11 and has fared much better this season in that role (3.51 ERA) than he has as a traditional starter (8.53 ERA).

  • Joe La Sorsa RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Joe La Sorsa: Shelved at Triple-A

    Triple-A Worcester placed La Sorsa on its 7-day injured list July 1 due to a concussion, Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette reports.

    After being acquired from the Pirates on June 4, La Sorsa made his Red Sox debut three days later before being optioned to Triple-A soon thereafter. The reliever went on to toss 6.1 scoreless innings over six appearances for Worcester before hitting the shelf.

  • Alec Gamboa RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Alec Gamboa: Heads back to Triple-A

    The Red Sox optioned Gamboa to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

    Gamboa was up with the Red Sox for just one day, as he served as the club's 27th man in Friday's doubleheader versus the Rays. He mopped up in the Red Sox's 10-0 win in the first game of the day, striking out a batter and allowing two hits and no walks over three scoreless innings en route to earning his first MLB save.

  • Chris Devenski RP | NYM

    Pirates' Chris Devenski: Ready for rehab assignment

    Devenski (illness) was sent to the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Devenski has been sidelined since early May due to an undisclosed illness, but he's finally been cleared to participate in games. Given the length of his absence, the veteran reliever will likely require a handful of rehab outings before rejoining the Pirates' active roster.

  • Tyler Holton RP | DET

    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Secures first save

    Holton picked up the save in Monday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Cubs. He allowed one unearned run on two hits and no walks with no strikeouts over one inning.

    After closer Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth inning to force an extra inning, Holton was called upon to finish things off in the 10th frame. Entering with a three-run lead, the southpaw allowed the automatic runner to score and brought the winning run to the plate with two outs, but he induced a weak groundout from Carson Kelly to secure his first save of the season. Holton has been a reliable middle reliever in 2026, posting a 3.05 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 37:10 K:BB with nine holds across 44.1 innings.
