Spencer Miles RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Spencer Miles: Goes four innings in no-decision
Miles allowed two runs on seven hits and struck out one without walking a batter over four innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Tuesday.
Miles threw 55 pitches (38 strikes) in this outing. He was relatively efficient despite giving up seven hits, and the Giants weren't able to piece much together off him. This performance did end Miles' nine-inning scoreless streak, a span in which he had a 12:3 K:BB. The right-hander is at a 2.95 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 56:17 K:BB through 58 innings over 25 appearances (three starts) this season. Miles and Patrick Corbin currently appear to be working in a tandem, though that could change if Miles continues to stretch out.

Yoendrys Gomez RP | MIN
Twins' Yoendrys Gomez: Logs 10th save
Gomez registered a save against the Guardians on Tuesday, striking out the only batter he faced in the ninth inning.
The Twins carried a 3-1 lead into the ninth and turned to lefty Tyler Rogers with Cleveland set to send up two left-handed batters. Rogers got two outs before walking Chase DeLauter, which prompted Minnesota manager Derek Shelton to summon Gomez from the bullpen. The righty reliever got the job done with aplomb, recording three straight swinging strikes to end the game. Gomez is now a perfect 10-for-10 in save opportunities this season and has emerged as the Twins' clear top closer. He had a rough start to the season but has been outstanding since the beginning of May, posting a 1.85 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB across 24.1 innings over 28 appearances.

Josh Hader RP | HOU
Astros' Josh Hader: Records one-out save Tuesday
Hader earned the save against the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter in one-third of an inning.
The Astros initially turned to Alimber Santa to protect their 6-2 lead in the ninth, but the right-hander gave up a solo homer to Jose Tena before giving up another single. Hader was brought out needing just one out to secure the save, but the southpaw gave up an infield single and a walk to load the bases before getting Dylan Crews to strike out swinging. Hader has converted on all 10 of his save opportunities this season and has a 0.59 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB across 15.1 innings.

Garrett Cleavinger RP | TB
Rays' Garrett Cleavinger: Tallies 15th hold
Cleavinger picked up a hold Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless eighth inning. He struck out two.
Cleavinger continues to operate as Tampa Bay's primary left-handed setup man for closer Bryan Baker. Through 25.2 innings, the 32-year-old southpaw has a quality 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB to go with 15 holds and two saves in four opportunities.

Ian Seymour RP | TB
Rays' Ian Seymour: Career-high 12 strikeouts in win
Seymour (6-1) earned the win against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks with 12 strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
Seymour allowed a three-run homer to Ben Rice in the third inning but was otherwise dominant, generating 17 whiffs on 94 pitches en route to a career-high 12 strikeouts. Since transitioning into the rotation, the southpaw owns a 2.97 ERA over six games (four starts and two bulk relief appearances) while logging at least five innings in four straight outings. He'll carry a 4.11 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 72:21 K:BB across 61.1 innings this season into a home matchup with the Mariners this weekend.

Bryan Baker RP | TB
Rays' Bryan Baker: Notches 24th save
Baker earned the save in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Yankees, allowing one hit and no walks with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.
Baker was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and worked around a two-out single to slam the door. The first-time All-Star has now converted 13 straight save chances while allowing just one earned run over 17 appearances during that stretch. For the season, he's 24-for-27 in save opportunities to go along with a 1.78 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB across 35.1 innings.

Ben Joyce RP | LAA
Angels' Ben Joyce: Starting rehab assignment Tuesday
Joyce (shoulder) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with the Angels' Arizona Complex League squad Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Joyce has missed the entirety of the 2026 campaign while recovering from May 2025 shoulder surgery and a subsequent May 2026 setback. His rehab assignment will likely be a prolonged one, spanning outings at various levels in the Angels' minor-league system.

Chad Dallas RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Chad Dallas: Back in majors
The Blue Jays recalled Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
Dallas conceded one earned run in 3.2 innings during his MLB debut June 4 and has since given up just one run in 13.2 frames at Triple-A. His strong performance will now buy him another look in the majors, presumably as a long-relief option. Yohendrick Pinango was optioned to Buffalo in a corresponding move.

Bennett Sousa RP | HOU
Astros' Bennett Sousa: Starts up rehab assignment
Sousa (elbow) struck out one over a scoreless inning in a rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Sugar Land.
Sousa has been on the injured list since May 9 due to left elbow inflammation and will likely need to make multiple rehab appearances before the Astros are comfortable activating him. Before hitting the shelf, the southpaw reliever posted an 8.10 ERA and 2.40 WHIP in 3.1 innings over five appearances for Houston.

Hayden Wesneski RP | HOU
Astros' Hayden Wesneski: Hits four frames in rehab start
Wesneski (elbow) struck out three and allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk across four innings Sunday in a rehab start with Double-A Corpus Christi. He also hit a batter and threw two wild pitches.
After tossing three shutout innings in his first rehab start in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on June 30, Wesneski jumped up a few rungs on the minor-league ladder for his second outing. Wesneski -- who is on the comeback trail after undergoing Tommy John surgery last May -- built up to 46 pitches (29 strikes) in Sunday's appearance, generating seven whiffs along the way. The right-hander will likely need to make two or three more rehab starts before coming off the 60-day injured list, but he may not have a rotation spot with the big club waiting for him once he's activated.
