  • White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Goes 4.2 innings vs. Twins

    Gomez did not factor into the decision Sunday against Minnesota, allowing two hits and three walks over 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.

    While Gomez was able to hold the Twins scoreless, he was unable to qualify for a win after throwing 89 pitches before departing with two outs in the fifth inning. Still, the 25-year-old Gomez has been solid overall in three starts since shifting into the rotation, allowing four earned runs across 14.2 innings while striking out 16. He's currently lined up to face the Yankees at home his next time out.

  • Royals' Carlos Estevez: Picks up 34th save

    Estevez earned the save in Sunday's 10-8 win over the Tigers, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    Estevez has been perfect in five straight appearances while posting a 1.29 ERA in his last seven innings. He's up to 34 saves on the year, tied with Robert Suarez for the MLB lead, with a 2.67 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 48 strikeouts across 57.1 innings.

  • Victor Mederos RP | LAA

    Angels' Victor Mederos: Shelved after poor start

    The Angels placed Mederos on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right shoulder inflammation.

    Mederos made his third start of the season in Saturday's 12-1 loss to the Cubs and was the pitcher of record after yielding six earned runs on four hits and two walks across four innings. Following the game, Mederos told Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register that his shoulder felt off toward the end of his start, and the Angels decided to deactivate him while they look to glean more information about the injury. Mederos is expected to undergo an MRI in the coming days before the Angels provide a potential timeline for his return. Caden Dana delivered a 13-strikeout gem in his most recent start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday and could be a top candidate to step in for Mederos the next time his turn in the rotation comes up.

  • Carson Fulmer RP | PIT

    Angels' Carson Fulmer: Shelved with elbow inflammation

    The Angels placed Fulmer on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.

    According to MLB.com, Fulmer sustained the injury while throwing a changeup during his relief appearance in Saturday's 12-1 loss to the Cubs. Before departing, Fulmer was charged with six earned runs on seven hits and one walk over 1.1 innings, bringing his ERA up to 5.83 for the season. Though the Angels are labeling his injury as inflammation, Fulmer will undergo further testing as the team looks to rule out a more significant issue to his elbow, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.

  • Chase Silseth RP | LAA

    Angels' Chase Silseth: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Angels recalled Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

    Though he's made most of his appearances in the big leagues the past three seasons as a starter, Silseth transitioned to a full-time relief role at Triple-A in late July after returning from a stint on the 7-day injured list. He's thrived out of the bullpen for Salt Lake, tossing 8.2 scoreless frames while striking out 13 over his last nine appearances. The right-hander will likely be deployed by the Angels in lower-leverage spots initially but could work his way up the bullpen depth chart quickly if he excels early on with the big club.

  • Paxton Schultz RP | WAS

    Blue Jays' Paxton Schultz: Moves up from Triple-A

    The Blue Jays recalled Schultz from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

    The 27-year-old righty has produced a 4.56 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 23.2 innings in 12 appearances (two starts) with Toronto this season. He'll provide the Blue Jays with a multi-inning bullpen option heading into Sunday's game against the Marlins.

  • Blue Jays' Mason Fluharty: Sent to Triple-A

    The Blue Jays optioned Fluharty to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

    Fluharty pitched the previous two days, so the Blue Jays will send him to Buffalo in favor of a fresh bullpen arm in Paxton Schultz. Over 51 appearances with the big club this season, Fluharty has netted a 4.94 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 48:24 K:BB in 47.1 innings while collecting four wins, four holds and one save.

  • John Rooney RP | TB

    Astros' John Rooney: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Astros recalled Rooney from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

    Houston optioned AJ Blubaugh to Triple-A to make room for a fresh bullpen arm. Acquired from the Marlins on Aug. 3, Rooney will be joining the big club for the second time this month after failing to make his MLB debut during his initial stint with Houston.

  • Ian Seymour P | TB

    Rays' Ian Seymour: Entering rotation Monday

    Seymour is slated to start Monday's game against the Guardians in Cleveland, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    At least for one turn through the rotation, Seymour will take over the starting role that was vacated by Joe Boyle, who was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday. Since being called up from Triple-A on July 31, Seymour has made five relief appearances, but he covered 3.1 innings Aug. 15 in San Francisco and three frames in his most recent appearance Tuesday against the Yankees, so he should be reasonably stretched out ahead of his first MLB start. The 26-year-old lefty had previously been serving as a full-time member of the rotation at Durham, producing a 2.62 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 104:20 K:BB in 86 innings.

  • Erasmo Ramirez RP | MIN

    Twins' Erasmo Ramirez: Loses roster spot

    The Twins designated Ramirez for assignment Sunday.

    Since Ramirez doesn't have minor-league options, the Twins had to move him off the 40-man roster to make room for right-hander Taj Bradley, who was called up from Triple-A St. Paul to start Sunday's game against the White Sox. After being summoned to the majors Aug. 1, Ramirez made nine relief appearances and submitted a 2.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB in 11 innings. He could attract interest via waivers from teams looking to add another multi-inning option to the bullpen.
