  • Ian Seymour RP | TB

    Rays' Ian Seymour: Four innings in relief

    Seymour allowed three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two across four innings Tuesday against the Orioles.

    Ryan Pepiot was chased from the game after only three innings, with Seymour throwing the final four frames. Seymour wasn't particularly effective and allowed more than two earned runs for the first time in his last five outings. He also needed 89 pitches to record his 12 outs. Per Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun, Seymour is likely to draw one more start this season, with Sunday against the Blue Jays being the only realistic possibility.

  • Jake Woodford RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Jake Woodford: Sent outright to Triple-A

    The Diamondbacks outrighted Woodford to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

    Woodford passed through waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster. He has the ability to decline the outright assignment and become a free agent, but it's unclear what the right-hander's plans are. Woodford has collected a 6.44 ERA and 23:13 K:BB over 36.1 frames in the majors this season.

  • Edwin Diaz RP | NYM

    Mets' Edwin Diaz: Converts six-out save

    Diaz locked down his 27th save of the season in Tuesday's 9-7 win over the Cubs, tossing two perfect innings while striking out five.

    Despite it being his third appearance in four days, Diaz was dominant in what was a massive moment for the Mets' playoff hopes. He had no issues with the top of the Cubs lineup in the eighth before striking out the side in the ninth against the heart of the order. Diaz struck out five in an appearance for the first time since June 12, 2022, and Tuesday was his third time this season completing two innings. A lot will be asked of Diaz in this final week of the season with the Mets controlling their own destiny for the final National league wild-card spot.

  • Tyler Ferguson RP | ATH

    Athletics' Tyler Ferguson: Works two scoreless frames

    Ferguson threw two perfect innings, striking out two and earning a hold in Tuesday's 5-1 victory over the Astros.

    Ferguson was sharp, retiring all six batters he faced in his first two-inning outing since May 21. The right-hander has been solid in September, posting a 2.89 ERA and 0.75 WHIP across eight appearances and 9.1 innings. His season line of a 4.79 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 54 outings and 56.1 innings looks rougher, but those numbers are heavily skewed by two blowup appearances on May 14 and June 18, when Ferguson allowed a total of 11 runs.

  • Fraser Ellard RP | CHW

    White Sox's Fraser Ellard: Serving as opener Wednesday

    Ellard will be the White Sox's opening pitcher in Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network reports.

    Ellard has gone more than one inning in just four of 16 appearances this season, so it will be a true opener assignment for the lefty. Tyler Alexander and Wikelman Gonzalez should be available to cover multiple innings out of Chicago's bullpen.

  • Giants' JT Brubaker: Drawing start Wednesday

    Brubaker will start Wednesday's contest versus the Cardinals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    He's sliding into the rotation in place of Robbie Ray, who is being shut down. All 16 of Brubaker's appearances in the majors this season have been in relief, but he's gone multiple innings in each of his last five outings and has made eight starts in the minors in 2025, so he's relatively stretched out. Still, the Giants' bullpen will be active in the series finale.

  • Jhoan Duran RP | PHI

    Phillies' Jhoan Duran: Blows fifth save

    Duran struck out one and gave up one run on two hits in the ninth inning Tuesday to blow his fifth save of the season in a 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Marlins.

    Cristopher Sanchez blanked Miami for seven innings and handed a 3-0 lead off to his bullpen, but David Robertson gave up two runs in the eighth before Duran served up a game-tying solo shot to Heriberto Hernandez. Duran's blown two of his last three save chances and has now allowed runs in three of his last four appearances, an ominous sign for Phillies fans traumatized by years of bullpen collapses no matter what name is on the back of the jersey. The 27-year-old flamethrower still sports an outstanding 2.29 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 25:1 K:BB over 19.2 innings since being acquired from the Twins at the trade deadline.

  • Cole Sands RP | MIN

    Twins' Cole Sands: Earns save Tuesday

    Sands tossed a perfect ninth frame to earn a save Tuesday over the Rangers.

    Sands needed just nine pitches to retire the side for his third save of the season and his first since May 16. Sands had blown his previous two save opportunities and Tuesday marked only his second scoreless outing in his last seven appearances. Saves are far and few between for the Twins, but it seems Sands is in the mix for more in the final week along with Kody Funderburk.

  • Trevor Megill RP | MIL

    Brewers' Trevor Megill: Facing hitters Friday

    Megill (elbow) had a successful multi-inning bullpen session Tuesday and is slated to face hitters Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    If things go well Friday, Megill appears in line to be activated from the 15-day injured list for the final game of the regular season Sunday versus the Reds. He would make an appearance that day as he gears up for the postseason. Megill has missed all of September with a right flexor strain.

  • Brewers' Bruce Zimmermann: Ambushed early in loss

    Zimmermann (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing six runs (five earned) on seven hits and two walks with one strikeout over six innings against the Padres.

    Zimmermann ran into early trouble, giving up a grand slam to Ryan O'Hearn in the first inning and a two-run homer to Luis Arraez in the second. It was the veteran's first MLB start of 2025 and his first big-league appearance since 2023. He spent most of this season with Triple-A Nashville, where he logged a 4.11 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 28 outings (21 starts) and 138 innings.
