  • Padres' Ron Marinaccio: Up as 27th man for doubleheader

    The Padres recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

    Marinaccio will serve as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader in Philadelphia. The right-hander was acquired by the Padres via trade over the offseason and has spent all of this season at El Paso, collecting a 4.70 ERA and 31:13 K:BB over 30.2 frames.

  • Dylan Lee RP | ATL

    Braves' Dylan Lee: Hit hard in loss

    Lee (1-3) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up three runs on two hits and a walk over one-third of an inning as Atlanta fell 4-0 to the Angels.

    Entering a scoreless tie in the top of the eighth inning, Lee sandwiched a walk to Taylor Ward between doubles by Mike Trout and Jo Adell to allow the game's first run to score, and after the southpaw got the hook he had to watch Enyel De Los Santos let both inherited runners cross the plate. The earned runs were the first on Lee's ledger since May 25, and while he's worked his way into the saves mix thanks to his 2.37 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB through 38 innings on the season, Tuesday's usage indicates he's still viewed as more of a high-leverage option than a pure ninth-inning closer.

  • Joey Lucchesi SP | LAA

    Giants' Joey Lucchesi: Logs scoreless inning Tuesday

    Lucchesi threw a scoreless eighth inning in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three.

    Lucchesi retired the first two batters he faced before issuing a walk and surrendering a single. However, he escaped the inning after recording his season-high third strikeout, and he threw 13 of his 21 pitches for strikes. The left-hander has appeared in six games in the 2025 campaign, posting a 4.50 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB across six innings.

  • Bailey Horn P | DET

    Tigers' Bailey Horn: Up with big club for doubleheader

    The Tigers recalled Horn from Triple-A Toledo to serve as their 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals.

    Horn is expected to be returned to Toledo immediately following the second game of the doubleheader. The lefty reliever previously made his lone relief appearance of the season for Detroit back on April 22 against the Padres, striking out two and allowing one hit over 1.1 scoreless innings.

  • Austin Warren RP | NYM

    Mets' Austin Warren: Available for twin bill

    The Mets appointed Warren from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as their 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Brewers. He'll be available for the second game of the twin bill.

    Warren has been recalled from the minors for the fourth time this season but is expected to be in line for another abbreviated stay with the big club. He's made just two appearances out of the New York bullpen, tossing 3.1 scoreless innings while striking out three batters.

  • Seth Johnson RP | PHI

    Phillies' Seth Johnson: Promoted for doubleheader

    The Phillies recalled Johnson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

    Johnson will serve as the 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Padres. He has made one relief appearance with the big club this season, allowing one run over two innings. Johnson is likely to be sent back to Lehigh Valley following the twin bill.

  • Brandon Eisert RP | CHW

    White Sox's Brandon Eisert: Opening Wednesday's contest

    Eisert will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    The Dodgers' lineup typically features two left-handed hitters (Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman) in the top four spots in the order, so the White Sox will likely have the left-handed Eisert work the opening frame or two before exiting the contest. Right-hander Sean Burke is slated to work in bulk relief behind Eisert.

  • David Bednar RP | NYY

    Pirates' David Bednar: Nails down 12th save

    Bednar gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his 12th save of the season in a 1-0 win over the Cardinals.

    The veteran closer wrapped up a combined shutout begun by Paul Skenes, but Bednar needed 20 pitches (12 strikes) to get the job done. His control is beginning to waver again, as he sports a 9:4 K:BB over his last six innings, but Bednar hasn't allowed an earned run since May 23 as he continues a remarkable turnaround from a rough 2024 and a demotion to Triple-A Indianapolis early in 2025. He needs four more saves to become the sixth pitcher in history to collect 100 in a Pirates uniform, but with the trade deadline looming, it's possible he gets dealt away before he reaches that milestone.

  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Astros' Josh Hader: Claims 24th save

    Hader picked up the save Tuesday against the Rockies. He allowed one run on two hits while striking out two over one inning.

    The southpaw surrendered a solo shot to Hunter Goodman but still closed out his league-leading 24th save of the season Tuesday. Hader has been dominant in 2025, converting every save opportunity and notching six straight saves in his last six outings. On the year, the veteran closer owns a stellar 1.86 ERA and 0.72 WHIP through 38.2 innings across 37 appearances.

  • Mason Miller RP | SD

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Locks down another save

    Miller earned the save Tuesday against the Rays, allowing a walk and no hits while striking out two in a scoreless frame.

    Miller had another dominant outing to pick up his second save in as many days against the Rays. He opened with a 102-mph fastball to punch out Brandon Lowe and ended the game with back-to-back sliders to retire Josh Lowe. Miller has now converted three straight saves and has four consecutive scoreless outings since his last blown save June 19.
