Nick Robertson RP | HOU
Astros' Nick Robertson: DFA'd by Houston
Robertson was designated for assignment by the Astros on Friday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Robertson was acquired from Toronto back in April and has spent the entirety of the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Sugar Land, where he owns a 4.68 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 36:25 K:BB across 32.2 innings of relief.

Cameron Foster RP | BAL
Orioles' Cameron Foster: Dealt to O's
Foster and Wellington Aracena were acquired by the Orioles from the Mets on Friday in exchange for reliever Gregory Soto, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
A 14th-round pick by the Mets in 2022, Foster is now on the move ahead of the trade deadline. The 26-year-old has spent most of this season at the Double-A level, where he has a 1.01 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 34:5 K:BB across 26.2 innings.

Mason Miller SP | SD
Athletics' Mason Miller: Earns 20th save
Miller struck out one and walked one in 1.1 scoreless innings to secure the save in Thursday's 4-2 win against the Astros.
The right-hander was called upon with two outs and two on in the eighth inning, but he induced a flyout from Jose Altuve and returned for the ninth to put away Houston. Miller has converted his past six save chances and hasn't given up a run in his last 10 appearances. It's been a bit of an up-and-down campaign for the A's closer, but he still has a 3.86 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 58:18 K:BB over 37.1 innings while going 20-for-23 in save opportunities.

Andres Munoz RP | SEA
Mariners' Andres Munoz: Picks up 23rd save
Munoz allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning to earn his 23rd save of the season in Thursday's 4-2 win against the Angels. He struck out one.
In addition to a walk and a single, a dropped third strike on what should have been a punchout helped Anaheim load the bases on Munoz, though he was able to escape the jam unscathed. The right-hander has been unscored upon in his past four appearances, but it's worth noting that he's walked four batters during that stretch. Despite blowing six saves this year, Munoz has been one of the most dominant closers in MLB with a 1.38 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 51:18 K:BB over 39 innings.

Alex Lange RP | KC
Tigers' Alex Lange: Resumes rehab stint
Lange (lat) made rehab appearances for Triple-A Toledo on Sunday and Wednesday, allowing a run on two hits and three walks with two strikeouts across 1.2 innings of work.
The next step in Lange's recovery from June 2024 surgery to address a right lat avulsion is to pitch in consecutive games, something he hasn't done yet in 2025. The righty is at least trending in the right direction, but given his long layoff as well as strong seasons from Detroit relievers Will Vest, Tyler Holton and Brant Hurter, Lange may have a hard time making much of an impact at the MLB level this year.

Chase Silseth RP | LAA
Angels' Chase Silseth: In midst of rehab assignment
Silseth (undisclosed) has been working primarily in a relief role for the Angels' ACL club, posting a 5.14 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 12:1 K:BB over seven innings spanning five appearances since July 5.
Silseth landed on Triple-A Salt Lake's 7-day injured list May 20 and missed over six weeks of game action. He began a minor-league rehab assignment with the ACL Angels on July 5 and has worked in relief in four of the five games in which he's appeared. Silseth had one poor outing, giving up four runs in one inning July 21, but has held the opponent scoreless in his other four appearances. He could continue to work in relief when he returns to Salt Lake, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.

Gregory Soto RP | PIT
Orioles' Gregory Soto: Picks up first save
Soto struck out two in a clean ninth inning to pick up the save during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Guardians.
The first save opportunity since Felix Bautista (shoulder) hit the injured list went to Soto, and he delivered an impressive inning, sending the Guardians down in order with the help of a pair of strikeouts. It was his first save on the season in his second chance, as he blew his other opportunity June 24 against the Rangers. The left-hander has a 3.96 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 36.1 innings pitched. Soto should be in the mix for saves however long Bautista is sidelined, though the trade deadline could further shake up Baltimore's high-leverage mix.

Robert Stephenson RP | LAA
Angels' Robert Stephenson: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Angels transferred Stephenson (biceps) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.
Stephenson initially landed on the injured list June 2 with biceps inflammation, so his move to the 60-day IL has virtually no impact on his return timeline. The 32-year-old reliever began a throwing program Monday but has yet to begin mound work, and he'll likely require a few rehab appearances in the minors before rejoining Los Angeles' bullpen. Jose Quijada was selected to the MLB roster Thursday to claim the open 40-man roster spot.

Jose Quijada RP | LAA
Angels' Jose Quijada: Selected from Double-A
The Angels selected the contract of Quijada from Double-A Rocket City on Thursday.
The Angels outrighted Quijada to Triple-A Salt Lake at the end of March after he cleared waivers. He was later assigned to Double-A Rocket City on May 10. Since then, the 29-year-old has posted a 2.73 ERA with a 39:9 K:BB in 26.1 innings through 27 games. In a corresponding move Thursday, the Angels optioned Jake Eder to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Jake Eder SP | WAS
Angels' Jake Eder: Dispatched to Salt Lake
The Angels optioned Eder to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
Eder worked as the Angels' bulk reliever Tuesday, giving up five earned runs over six innings and taking his first loss of the season. Now sporting a 4.91 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in the majors, he'll head back to the rotation at Salt Lake, where he owns a 6.11 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. Jose Quijada was promoted from Triple-A to fill the vacancy in the Angels' bullpen.
