  • Jayden Murray RP | HOU

    Astros' Jayden Murray: Opening Friday's game

    Murray will serve as the Astros' opening pitcher for Friday's game in Atlanta, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Murray has made two scoreless relief appearances for the Astros since being called up earlier this month. He's a former starter but has been used exclusively in relief in 2025, so Murray is likely available only for an inning or two. AJ Blubaugh is a good bet to eat some innings Friday in what will be a bullpen game for Houston.

  • Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Hit hard Thursday

    Gipson-Long allowed seven runs on seven hits across 2.1 innings of relief in Thursday's 9-3 loss to the Yankees. He struck out three.

    Tyler Holton took the loss as the opener, allowing two runs in his inning of work, but Gipson-Long let the game get out of hand as the bulk reliever. He's allowed 13 runs across 6.1 innings in his last two appearances, and he's sitting with an ugly 7.18 ERA overall. The righty may continue to work in a bulk role or start some games while Reese Olson (shoulder) is out, but he's hard to trust in fantasy given his current form. Gipson-Long is penciled in to start Thursday's game against the Guardians, though Detroit may opt to deploy an opener once again in that contest.

  • Padres' Robert Suarez: Picks up 37th save

    Suarez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Rockies.

    Suarez has allowed three runs over 7.1 innings in September, but this was his third clean appearance of the month. The Padres haven't generated a ton of save chances lately, which has led to Suarez slipping to second in the majors with 37 saves, two behind Kansas City's Carlos Estevez. Suarez is now at a 3.11 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 67:15 K:BB through 63.2 innings this season.

  • Jhoan Duran RP | PHI

    Phillies' Jhoan Duran: Shuts door for save Thursday

    Duran struck out the side in the ninth inning for the save Thursday against the Mets.

    Duran is now a perfect 5-for-5 on save opportunities to begin the month of September. The hard-throwing right-hander has gone 13-for-14 on save chances since joining the Phillies, and he's doing well to preserve his place as Philadelphia's closer. Over 64 frames between the Twins and Phillies, Duran owns an outstanding 1.83 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 73:18 K:BB.

  • Royals' John Schreiber: Saddled with loss, blown save

    Schreiber (3-3) was charged with the loss and a blown save Thursday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on two hits while striking out one in 1.1 innings.

    It's the third time already this month that Schreiber has permitted two runs in an outing, giving him a ghastly 12.46 ERA through 4.1 innings in September. With closer Carlos Estevez leading MLB in saves, Schreiber has fallen quite far out of contention for save chances in most scenarios at this stage of the campaign. Across 58.1 innings, Schreiber has a 3.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 60:18 K:BB.

  • Cade Smith RP | CLE

    Guardians' Cade Smith: Nails down 13th save

    Smith struck out two in a clean ninth inning for the save Thursday against the Royals.

    Although Smith opened the month by imploding for three earned runs in his first September outing, he's turned in four saves across five consecutive scoreless appearances since then. With Emmanuel Clase's future with the Guardians uncertain due to a sports-betting investigation, Smith is cementing himself as Cleveland's closer to close out the regular season. He has a 3.15 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 92:13 K:BB while converting 13 of his 18 save chances over 65.2 frames in 2025.

  • Tyler Holton RP | DET

    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Takes loss as Thursday's opener

    Holton (5-5) took the loss against the Yankees on Thursday, allowing two runs on two hits while striking out two across one frame.

    Holton recorded both of his strikeouts in the first inning but also gave up a solo home run to Aaron Judge before being tagged for a second run in the second frame when. It was Holton's sixth time serving as an opener this year, and he now sits at a 4.00 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 69.2 innings overall.

  • Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY

    Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Earns first save of 2025

    Yarbrough earned the save in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Tigers, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two across three innings.

    Cam Schlittler limited the Tigers to one run over the first six innings, and Yarbrough took care of the rest across the final three frames of Thursday's win. With Yarbrough being used in long relief to close out Thursday's game, the Yankees will have a fresh set of bullpen arms out for Friday's series opener against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Yarbrough has a 3.82 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 63.2 innings this season.

  • Ian Seymour RP | TB

    Rays' Ian Seymour: Falls to White Sox

    Seymour (3-2) took the loss Thursday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

    It's the second straight loss for Seymour, who gave up five runs (though just one earned) over four innings in a relief appearance against the Guardians last Friday. Despite his recent stumble, Seymour has been solid when working in the rotation, allowing just four earned runs across 15.1 innings in three starts. The left-hander is currently lined up to face the Blue Jays at home his next time out, should Tampa elect to keep Seymour in the rotation.

  • Reid Detmers RP | LAA

    Angels' Reid Detmers: Lands on IL

    The Angels placed Detmers on the 15-day injured list Thursday with left elbow inflammation.

    Detmers had to depart Wednesday's game against the Twins due to the injury after not liking how the ball was coming out of his hand. The injury may end the southpaw's campaign as he won't be eligible to return until the final series of the season. In a corresponding move, the Angels recalled Chase Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake.
