Luis Patino RP | SD
Luis Patino: Cut loose by Padres
The Padres released Patino (elbow) on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
The right-hander had resided on Double-A San Antonio's 7-day injured list since late June after hitting a snag in his recovery from April 2024 Tommy John surgery, and the Padres have now decided to part ways with him. Patino last pitched in the majors in 2023 and had a 4.57 ERA across 21.2 innings between the White Sox and Rays that season.

Thomas Hatch RP | MIN
Twins' Thomas Hatch: Grabs second win
Hatch (2-0) earned the win Sunday over the Tigers, allowing a run on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.
Hatch, making his first start this season, was impressive against a Detroit team that had scored 15 runs in their previous two games. In 13.2 innings with Minnesota, Hatch has pitched to a 3.29 ERA with a 1.54 WHIP and 9:11 K:BB. The 30-year-old right-hander could get another look in the rotation while Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) and Matt Festa (shoulder) are sidelined. Hatch would tentatively line up for a road matchup with the White Sox in his next outing.

Brant Hurter RP | DET
Tigers' Brant Hurter: Dispatched to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Hurter to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
Hurter hasn't given up an earned run in his past nine appearances and has a 2.45 ERA in 38 major-league appearances this season, so it's a tough-luck demotion for the left-hander. The 26-year-old also had a 2.58 ERA over 45.1 innings with the Tigers in 2024, so he should be back up with Detroit before the end of the season.

Connor Brogdon RP | LAA
Angels' Connor Brogdon: Loses 40-man roster spot
The Angels designated Brogdon for assignment Sunday.
Brogdon will lose his spot on the Angels' 40-man roster after he coughed up four earned runs over 1.1 innings between his last two relief appearances to bring his ERA up to 5.30 across 37 outings on the season. The Angels recalled right-hander Jose Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Brogdon in the bullpen.

Brenan Hanifee RP | DET
Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Up with Detroit
The Tigers recalled Hanifee from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
The right-hander was optioned to Toledo in early August but is back with the Tigers for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota. Hanifee has made 46 relief appearances for the Tigers this season and has recorded 11 holds with a 3.10 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB over 52.1 innings.

Jose Fermin RP | LAA
Angels' Jose Fermin: Summoned from Triple-A
The Angels recalled Fermin from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.
Los Angeles designated right-hander Connor Brogdon for assignment to clear room on the active roster for Fermin. Over his prior two stints with the big club this season, the 23-year-old Fermin turned in a 6.63 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB in 19 innings. The right-hander will likely handle a low-leverage role out of the Angels bullpen.

Ryan Rolison RP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Rolison: Returns to minors
The Rockies optioned Rolison to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Rolison pitched a scoreless frame in Saturday's 10-7 win over Arizona but will still end up losing his spot on the 26-man active roster. The left-hander has a 7.41 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 21:18 K:BB over 37.2 innings with Colorado this season.

Cardinals' Roddery Munoz: Sent to Triple-A
The Cardinals optioned Munoz to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Munoz will lose his place on the active roster after giving up three earned runs on two hits and three walks over 1.1 innings of relief in Saturday's 12-8 loss to the Yankees. Anthony Veneziano was called up from Triple-A to round out St. Louis' bullpen.

Anthony Veneziano RP | STL
Cardinals' Anthony Veneziano: Joins big club
The Cardinals recalled Veneziano from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
