The Yankees optioned Poteet to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Poteet made one appearance during his three-day stint in the majors, giving up one earned run across 3.1 innings Wednesday against Baltimore. Rather than keeping him in the bullpen to finish the regular season, the Yankees will instead send him back out to the minors in favor of Will Warren.

The Yankees recalled Warren from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Warren owns a 9.55 ERA and 1.85 WHIP over 21.2 innings across five big-league starts this season, and it seems likely he'll be available out of the bullpen for New York during the final two games of the regular season. Cody Poteet was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Crochet didn't factor into the decision Friday against Detroit, allowing four hits and a walk over four scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Crochet's workload decreased dramatically down the stretch, though he was still impressive in limited work, allowing just one run over 12 innings in his final three outings. It was a breakthrough season overall for the left-hander, who proved to be one of the White Sox's few bright spots. Crochet will finish the year at 6-12 with a 3.58 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 209:33 K:BB across 146 innings.

Campero went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.

The 27-year-old switch hitter swiped his third bag in 11 games since his late-season promotion, a stretch in which he's also batting .260 (10-for-38) with three RBI and five runs. Campero didn't come into the season with much of a prospect profile, but after slashing .279/.392/.472 in 107 games between Double-A Rocket City and Triple-A Salt Lake this year and then holding his own in a big-league cameo, he may have a spot in the Angels' outfield plans for 2025.

Detmers (4-9) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs on eight hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over five innings as the Angels fell 5-2 to the Rangers. He struck out 12.

The southpaw displayed both the good and bad sides of his profile, generating 32 called or swinging strikes among his 95 pitches but serving up back-to-back homers to Wyatt Langford and Adolis Garcia in the first inning, before Carson Kelly tagged him for another long ball in the fourth. Over five September starts, Detmers posted a brutal 8.14 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 3.0 HR/9 despite a superficially impressive 39:11 K:BB through 24.1 innings. The 25-year-old still has four years of team control and is only heading into his first year of arbitration eligibility this winter, however, so it's unlikely the Angels will give up on his upside quite yet.

Grissom went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

Grissom, who started for the fourth time in the last five games, is 7-for-18 (.389) with a double, two RBI and two steals since being called up last week. It was a rough year for the 23-year-old, whose spring training groin/hamstring injury lingered for months. A positive finish to the season, including a productive stint at Triple-A Worcester, should put him in line to be Boston's starter at second base in 2025.

Langford went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Angels.

The rookie wasted no time in getting the Rangers on the board, rocketing a Reid Detmers changeup over the wall in left field in the first inning. Langford struggled early in the season in his first look at big-league pitching, but over his last 30 games he's slashing .295/.378/.580 with eight of his 15 homers on the year. The 22-year-old will head into 2025 with sky-high expectations once again, but he may be better equipped to meet them the second time around.

Garcia went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Friday's 5-2 win over the Angels.

Garcia hit the second of back-to-back home runs in the first inning, following Wyatt Langford's two-run shot. It was the second homer in three games for Garcia, who has at least one RBI in four consecutive contests. He's had a productive month, driving in 21 runs over 23 games in September, and he's reached the 25-homer plateau for the fourth straight season.

Yates walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 32nd save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Angels.

The 37-year-old righty converted his 11th straight save dating back to Aug. 19, a stretch in which he's posted a dazzling 0.63 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB over 14.1 innings. Yates' injury history remains concerning, but his outstanding comeback campaign in 2024 sets his up for a big payday as a free agent this winter.

DeGrom came away with a no-decision in Friday's 5-2 win over the Angels, allowing one run on four hits over four innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.

The 36-year-old right-hander was sharp in his final start of 2024, topping out at 98.7 mph with his fastball and firing 39 of 53 pitches for strikes. A cautious recovery from Tommy John surgery cost deGrom most of the season, but in three September outings he delivered a 1.69 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 14:1 K:BB over 10.2 innings, suggesting he still has plenty left in the tank. He still has three years and $115 million left on his contract, plus a $20 million club option for 2028, so if he's healthy deGrom should play a big role in the Rangers' rotation plans for next season.
