    Rangers' Grant Anderson: Optioned to Round Rock

    Anderson was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Anderson allowed four runs on nine hits in eight innings of work in his latest stay in the big leagues, walking seven batters while striking out just four. Jonathan Hernandez was called up to take Anderson's place in the bullpen.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Hernandez: Returns to Texas bullpen

    Hernandez was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    Hernandez has been ineffective in 21.2 major-league innings this season, struggling to a 6.65 ERA, a mark which more than doubles the 3.23 career ERA he owned prior to that point. His 1.35 ERA at the Triple-A level is far more encouraging, but it comes with a 16.5 percent walk rate. Grant Anderson was optioned in a corresponding move.

  • Twins' Jordan Balazovic: Optioned to Triple-A

    Balazovic was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

    Balazovic spent just two days on the active roster in his latest stint in the majors and did not get into a game. He'll make way for Joe Ryan, who returns from a groin injury in a corresponding move.

  • Felix Bautista RP | BAL

    Orioles' Felix Bautista: Out with UCL injury

    Bautista was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a UCL injury, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Bautista left his outing Friday against the Rockies with right arm discomfort, and it looks like the injury is potentially a serious one. The Orioles haven't specified an exact diagnosis or timeline for Bautista, but Tommy John surgery would seem to be a possibility given that he's dealing with UCL troubles. Even a lesser injury would still be a huge blow to the Orioles, as Bautista has been the best reliever in baseball this season, riding a 46.4 percent strikeout rate to a 1.48 ERA and 33 saves. Yennier Cano is likely to step into the ninth inning in his absence.

  • Trevor Kelley RP | SEA

    Rays' Trevor Kelley: Optioned to Triple-A

    Kelley was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Kelley's latest stint on the big-league roster lasted just two days. In his lone appearance Friday against the Yankees, he gave up four runs in two innings of relief. Jalen Beeks was called up to take Kelley's place on the roster.

  • Jalen Beeks RP | TEX

    Rays' Jalen Beeks: Returns to majors

    The Rays recalled Beeks from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Beeks has thrown 39.1 innings at the major-league level this season, with his 6.41 ERA more than doubling his 2.80 mark from last season. His ERA in 17.2 frames for Durham sits at 5.60. Reliever Trevor Kelley was optioned to Durham in a corresponding move.

  • Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Returns to Triple-A

    The Angels optioned Rosenberg to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

    Rosenberg was returned to Triple-A one day after he was called up and appointed as the Angels' 27th man for a doubleheader with the Reds. He covered two innings out of the bullpen in the Angels' 9-4 loss in the first game of the twin bill, giving up one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out three.

  • Mariners' Isaiah Campbell: Grabs fourth win

    Campbell (4-0) got the win against the Royals on Friday, firing a perfect fifth inning during which he recorded a strikeout.

    Campbell got through his one frame on just nine pitches -- seven of which he pounded in for strikes -- after starter Bryce Miller labored through the first four frames. The rookie right-hander had conceded an earned run in each of his last two outings, but he's still carrying an impressive 2.76 ERA across his first 16.1 big-league innings.

  • Matt Moore RP | BOS

    Angels' Matt Moore: Grabs 20th hold

    Moore earned a hold against the Mets on Friday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.

    Moore had a rare blow-up his previous time on the mound, giving up three runs in one inning against Cincinnati. He was back in form Friday, escaping with a scoreless frame despite seeing the first two batters he faced reach base via a double and an error. Moore has held the opponent scoreless in 13 of his last 14 appearances, notching eight holds while posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB over 14 innings during that span. The southpaw leads the Angels with 20 holds on the campaign.

  • DL Hall RP | MIL

    Orioles' DL Hall: Recalled by Orioles

    Hall was recalled by the Orioles on Saturday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    The 24-year-old lefty has struggled to a 5.94 ERA in 16.2 career MLB innings despite a 32.9 percent strikeout rate. He recorded a 4.57 ERA in 11 Triple-A starts at the beginning of this season before the Orioles elected to back him off and rebuild his arm strength at the team's spring training complex, as his velocity was down nearly three ticks. He's since returned to strike out 18 batters in 7.2 innings of relief and could be a weapon out of the bullpen down the stretch in Baltimore. A corresponding move has yet to be announced.
