  • Patrick Corbin SP | TEX

    Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Inefficient in no-decision

    Corbin came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets, allowing one unearned run on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out five.

    The veteran lefty did generate 16 swinging strikes among his 85 pitches (52 total strikes), but Corbin got the hook in the fifth inning after a Cody Freeman throwing error helped bring home the game's first run. Corbin's failed to last five innings in five of eight starts since the beginning of August, laboring to a 5.59 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB over 37 innings during that stretch. With Tyler Mahle (shoulder) closing in on his return from the IL and Jacob Latz pitching well of late, the Rangers' rotation plans are a little murky, but if Corbin remains on schedule he'll take the mound at home next weekend against the Marlins.

  • Brayan Bello SP | BOS

    Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Stumbles against Yanks

    Bello (11-7) took the loss Saturday as the Red Sox were downed 5-3 by the Yankees, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.

    The right-hander was tagged for more than three runs for the first time since Aug. 10, which was also the last time he got handed a losing decision. Bello has given Boston at least five innings in every start since the beginning of June, posting a 3.06 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 89:32 K:BB over 117.2 innings during that time. He'll try to get back in the win column in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the A's.

  • Jazz Chisholm 2B | NYY

    Yankees' Jazz Chisholm: Closing in on 30-30

    Chisholm went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Red Sox.

    The infielder drove in runs with singles in the first and third innings before launching a solo shot off Brayan Bello in the fifth. It was Chisholm's 29th homer of the season, putting him one long ball away from his first career 30-30 campaign. His 75 RBI on the year are also a new career high, and he's three runs away from tying the career-high 74 he set in 2024.

  • David Bednar RP | NYY

    Yankees' David Bednar: Notches 24th save

    Bednar worked a perfect ninth inning Saturday without striking out a batter to record his 24th save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Red Sox.

    The right-hander collected his seventh save in 10 attempts since joining the Yankees, needing only seven pitches (five strikes) to get the job done. Bednar has been scored upon only twice in his last 15 appearances in pinstripes, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB in 17 innings over that stretch.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Yankees' Max Fried: Collects MLB-leading 17th win

    Fried (17-5) picked up the win Saturday, giving up two runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in a 5-3 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out six.

    In the process, the southpaw moved ahead of teammate Carlos Rodon, as well as Milwaukee's Freddy Peralta, for the major-league lead in wins. Fried has gotten the win in four straight starts and hasn't lost since Aug. 10, going 5-0 over his last six outings with a 3.38 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB in 37.1 innings over that stretch. He likely doesn't have enough time left in the schedule to get to 20 wins, but Fried will look to continue his undefeated streak on the road next week in Baltimore.

  • Keider Montero SP | DET

    Tigers' Keider Montero: Drawing start Sunday

    Montero will start for the Tigers during Sunday's game in Miami, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    For at least one turn, Montero will take the rotation spot of Sawyer Gipson-Long, who landed on the injured list Friday due to neck stiffness. Montero is no stranger to a starting role, as he's made nine starts (out of 17 appearances) this season and has completed as many as eight innings in a contest (May 8 against Colorado). Montero was dispatched to the minors in late July, and since returning to the big-league club Sept. 3, he's made two appearances in relief, allowing two earned runs with a 5:2 K:BB over five innings. Because he'll be pitching on just two days' rest after tossing 1.2 innings in Thursday's loss to the Yankees, Montero will likely be in line for an abbreviated workload during Sunday's start. Stavenhagen suggests that Jose Urquidy could be called upon to work multiple innings in relief behind Montero.

  • Matthew Lugo CF | LAA

    Angels' Matthew Lugo: Moved down to minors

    The Angels optioned Lugo to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

    Lugo had been struggling to garner playing time, starting in just one of the Angels' previous seven contests prior to being sent down. He's posted a .707 OPS with four homers, nine RBI and nine runs over 70 plate appearances in the majors this season but has a 0:24 BB:K. Lugo's return to the minors made room for infielder Christian Moore to rejoin the 26-man roster.

  • Scott Kingery 2B | LAA

    Angels' Scott Kingery: DFA'd on Saturday

    Kingery was designated for assignment Saturday.

    This is the second time Kingery has been DFA'd this season, with the previous move taking place Aug. 11. The veteran infielder has struggled at the plate during his time with the Angels, slashing a measly .148/.207/.185 with one stolen base and 11 strikeouts over 29 plate appearances. Kingery's 40-man roster spot has been assumed by Denzer Guzman, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

  • Angels' Christian Moore: Returns to big-league club

    The Angels recalled Moore from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

    Moore struggled in his first taste of the majors earlier this season, slashing .195/.287/.336 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 14 runs and no stolen bases over 130 plate appearances. He posted a meager .561 OPS over 10 games with Salt Lake after getting sent down Sept. 1 but will nonetheless get another look with the major-league squad. Moore is starting at second base and batting fifth Saturday versus Seattle, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

  • Jo Adell CF | LAA

    Angels' Jo Adell: In Saturday's lineup

    Adell (illness) will start in right field and bat fourth against the Mariners on Saturday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Adell has been in and out of the lineup for the past week while battling vertigo, and he appears to be feeling well enough to play Saturday. The 26-year-old outfielder has started the month strong by going 11-for-31 (.355) with five homers and 12 RBI through nine games.
