  • Hunter Gaddis RP | CLE

    Guardians' Hunter Gaddis: Picks up third save

    Gaddis earned the save in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Tigers, allowing one hit with no strikeouts or walks in a scoreless ninth inning.

    After closer Cade Smith had pitched back-to-back days, Gaddis got the call in the ninth inning Thursday. The right-hander worked around a leadoff single to close out a two-run victory, picking up his third save this season. Gaddis has turned in seven straight scoreless innings, allowing just four hits in that span. His ERA sits at 3.11 through 63.2 innings this season with a 1.18 WHIP and 65:21 K:BB.

  • Angels' Sam Aldegheri: Officially promoted

    The Angels recalled Aldegheri from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

    Aldegheri will come up from the minors to presumably fill the absence in Los Angeles' rotation left by Jose Soriano (forearm), who was placed on the injured list Thursday. Aldegheri has given up five earned runs in just 4.1 innings in the big leagues this year, though he owns a 3.82 ERA and 1.35 WHIP through 127.1 minor-league frames.

  • Ryan Borucki RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ryan Borucki: Outrighted to Buffalo

    Borucki cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Buffalo.

    Borucki was DFA'd after pitching 4.1 shutout innings for the Jays in September, but he'll officially stick with the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Assuming he remains in the minors for the rest of the season, the 31-year-old southpaw will finish 2025 with a 4.63 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 35 innings in the big leagues.

  • Aaron Bummer RP | ATL

    Braves' Aaron Bummer: Moves on 60-day IL

    Atlanta transferred Bummer (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

    Left shoulder inflammation sent Bummer to the injured list in late August, and although he began a throwing program Saturday, his move to the 60-day IL will officially rule him out for the rest of the season. He'll give up his place on the 40-man roster to Brett Wisely, who was claimed off waivers from San Francisco in a corresponding move.

  • Jordan Hicks RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Jordan Hicks: Resumes playing catch

    Hicks (shoulder) has been cleared to play catch, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Hicks has a chance to make it back from his right shoulder tendinitis before the end of the regular season, but it's far from guaranteed. The hard-throwing righty holds an 8.20 ERA and 15:12 K:BB over 18.2 innings during his time with the Red Sox, putting his role in question even if he does return.

  • Codi Heuer RP | DET

    Codi Heuer: Released by Tigers

    The Tigers released Heuer on Thursday.

    The move clears space on the 40-man roster for the return of Paul Sewald (shoulder). Heuer has made three relief appearances at the big-league level this season between the Rangers and Tigers, yielding three runs with a 5:2 K:BB over 4.2 innings.

  • Jose Urquidy RP | DET

    Tigers' Jose Urquidy: DFA'd, but expected to be optioned

    The Tigers designated Urquidy for assignment Thursday.

    While the transaction for the time being is officially labeled as Urquidy being designated for assignment, the righty has agreed to be optioned to Triple-A Toledo and that is expected to happen Friday. Urquidy has allowed two runs over 2.1 innings since the Tigers reinstated him from the injured list earlier this week, and the club has decided it doesn't have a spot for him on the active roster right now.

  • Paul Sewald RP | DET

    Tigers' Paul Sewald: Returns from 60-day IL

    The Tigers activated Sewald (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

    Sewald was recovering from a right shoulder strain when the Tigers acquired him from the Guardians at the trade deadline, but he's made his way onto the active roster following five rehab appearances. The veteran reliever will likely be used in low-leverage spots initially but could find himself working in key situations if he looks sharp.

  • Kyle Backhus RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Kyle Backhus: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Diamondbacks optioned Backhus to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

    Backhus has appeared in 32 games out of Arizona's bullpen this season, recording a 4.62 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB across 25.1 innings. He picked up his second save of the season in last Sunday's win over the Twins.

  • Philip Abner RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Philip Abner: Contract selected from Reno

    The Diamondbacks selected Abner's contract from Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

    The 23-year-old Abner opened 2025 in Single-A but has advanced through Arizona's minor-league system quickly and appears set to make his MLB debut in the coming days. The left-hander has a 3.07 ERA and 10.7 K/9 across 58.2 innings of relief in the minors this season. Abner was a sixth-round pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft.
