  • Albert Suarez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Diagnosed with flexor strain

    Suarez has been diagnosed with a mild flexor strain in his right forearm, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Suarez suffered the injury during his final appearance of the regular season Sept. 14. He's expected to begin a throwing program in the coming weeks. Suarez was limited to just 11.2 innings for the Orioles this season, with most of the missed time occurring due to a right shoulder strain.

  • Brad Keller RP | CHC

    Cubs' Brad Keller: Four-out save in Game 3

    Keller issued a walk and struck out two batters over 1.1 scoreless innings to pick up a save in Game 3 of the NLDS against the Brewers on Wednesday.

    Keller walked Caleb Durbin on four pitches to load the bases upon entering the game before striking out Jake Bauers to pick up the final out of the eighth inning. The 30-year-old reliever then retired the side in order during the ninth to pick up his second save of the postseason and give the Cubs their first win of the NLDS.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Wasn't available Wednesday

    Manager Dave Roberts said after Wednesday's loss against Philadelphia in Game 3 of the NLDS that Scott wasn't available due to personal reasons, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Roberts didn't provide any details on when Scott may return, so it seems the Dodgers' bullpen will have to work around being slightly shorthanded for the time being. The 31-year-old lefty gave up six earned runs over 8.1 innings across the final month of the regular season and has yet to appear in a game this postseason.

  • Blue Jays' Seranthony Dominguez: Earns win in Game 4

    Dominguez was credited with the win over the Yankees on Wednesday in Game 4 of the American League Division Series. He allowed one walk without a strikeout over 1.2 hitless and scoreless innings.

    Dominguez followed Louis Varland and Mason Fluharty in a bullpen game for Toronto and ultimately earned the win, sending Toronto to the ALCS. Acquired from the Orioles at the trade deadline, Dominguez has fit in nicely with the Blue Jays. The veteran righty posted a 3.00 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and eight holds in 21 regular-season innings after coming over from Baltimore, and he's now up to 3.1 scoreless innings this postseason.

  • Jeff Hoffman RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jeff Hoffman: Closes out game, series against NYY

    Hoffman earned the save in Wednesday's win over the Yankees in Game 4 of the American League Division Series. He allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out one batter over 1.1 innings.

    Hoffman was the eighth and final arm to pitch in a bullpen game for the Blue Jays, and while he coughed up a run in the ninth, he ultimately closed the door to send Toronto to the ALCS. While Hoffman was charged with seven blown saves and took seven losses during the regular season, he has allowed just two earned runs in his last 14 appearances dating back to late August, converting all five of his save chances in that span.

  • Drey Jameson RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Drey Jameson: Returns to action in AFL

    Jameson (elbow) tossed a scoreless inning of relief Tuesday during an appearance in the Arizona Fall League.

    After missing the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from Tommy John surgery, Jameson was back to full health for the start of spring training, but he made just three appearances for Arizona and 16 in the minors before being shut down in late June when he developed a bone fragment chip in his surgically repaired elbow. Though Jameson didn't return to action before the end of the minor-league season, he avoided another procedure on his elbow and looks like he'll be in line for a normal offseason following a stellar relief appearance Tuesday. Jameson needed only eight pitches to retire the side, generating three groundballs while sporting a fastball that topped out at 99.4 miles per hour. Jameson, who maintains a spot on Arizona's 40-man roster, is expected to compete for a bullpen role with the big club this spring.

  • Louie Varland RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Louis Varland: Kicking off bullpen day in Game 4

    Varland is slated to serve as the Blue Jays' opening pitcher Wednesday for Game 4 of the ALDS versus the Yankees, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The Blue Jays are expected to rely on their bullpen to get through Wednesday's contest, and the team will officially turn to Varland to collect the first several outs. The 27-year-old turned in a 4.94 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 23.2 frames in the regular season after joining Toronto at the trade deadline. He's pitched in each of the first three games of the series versus New York, yielding two earned runs on three hits while striking out three over 2.2 innings.

  • Nic Enright RP | CLE

    Guardians' Nic Enright: Set for Tommy John surgery

    Enright will undergo Tommy John surgery soon, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Enright has been sidelined since early September with an injury to his pitching arm, and it's been determined surgery is the best course of treatment. The right-handed reliever will not be ready to pitch in games again until 2027. Enright held a 2.03 ERA and 30:12 K:BB over 31 innings for the Guardians this season.

  • Reid Detmers RP | LAA

    Angels' Reid Detmers: Will move back into rotation

    Angels general manager Perry Minasian said Saturday that Detmers (elbow) will move back into the rotation in 2026, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.

    Detmers pitched well in his first season as a full-time reliever in 2025, posting a 3.96 ERA and 80:25 K:BB over 63.2 innings. However, Minasian feels the southpaw has "earned" another shot to be a starting pitcher in 2026 and is "a different guy" than the one who held a 4.90 ERA over 75 starts from 2021-24. Detmers struck out 418 batters across 385.2 frames during the latter stretch, so he's displayed strong swing-and-miss stuff as a starter. The lefty ended this season on the 60-day injured list with an injured pitching elbow, but he's expected to recover with rest.

  • Carl Edwards RP | TEX

    Carl Edwards: Chooses free agency

    Edwards elected free agency Monday, per MLB's transactions log.

    Edwards was exiled from the 40-man roster shortly before the completion of the regular season, and he's since chosen to test the open market. He struggled to find opportunities in the major leagues this season across stops with the Angels and Rangers, surrendering three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six across 6.0 innings (four appearances).
