  • Zak Kent SP | TEX

    Guardians' Zak Kent: Back in minors

    The Guardians optioned Kent to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

    Kent served as the 27th man during Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals but did not make an appearance. He will rejoin the bullpen at Columbus.

  • Travis Adams P | MIN

    Twins' Travis Adams: Sent back to St. Paul

    The Twins optioned Adams to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

    The transaction comes one day after Adams was roughed up for five earned runs over 3.1 innings during an extended relief outing Sunday against the Nationals. The Twins will announce a corresponding roster move prior to Monday's game against the Red Sox.

  • Royals' Carlos Estevez: Nails down save No. 27

    Estevez picked up the save Sunday against Cleveland, allowing one hit with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.

    Estevez is back on track after a rough three-appearance stretch in which he yielded five runs and blew three saves over 2.1 innings, as he hasn't allowed a run in three appearances since. The 33-year-old has a 2.62 ERA in 44.2 innings, and his 27 saves are tied for the second most in baseball.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: First loss of 2025

    Cantillo (2-1) took the loss Sunday against Kansas City, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks with four strikeouts over four innings.

    The Guardians have deployed Cantillo as a starter in July, and he took his first loss of the campaign Sunday in his fifth start, throwing 76 pitches. Control has been an issue for Cantillo as a starter, having walked at least three batters in all but one start thus far. He has a 4.57 ERA and a 27:11 K:BB across 21.2 innings since the role swap. His next appearance is expected to come next weekend against Minnesota.

  • Travis Adams P | MIN

    Twins' Travis Adams: Struggles in long relief

    Adams (1-1) was the pitcher of record in Sunday's 7-2 loss to Washington, striking out three while allowing five earned runs on five hits and two walks over 3.1 innings.

    Adams ate some innings for the Twins during a bullpen game, throwing 83 pitches once opener Cole Sands exited the contest. Overall, Adams has an 8.03 ERA in 12.1 innings over four appearances in the majors this season. With Bailey Ober (hip) set to return from the injured list soon, Adams' stay with the Twins could soon be coming to an end.

  • Chase Silseth RP | LAA

    Angels' Chase Silseth: Works in relief in return from IL

    Silseth (undisclosed) struck out a batter and allowed two hits over a scoreless inning of relief for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday in his first appearance since being activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

    Silseth has served largely in a starting role at his various stops in the minors and majors since entering the professional ranks in 2021. However, after struggling to a 4.45 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 29:22 K:BB in 28.1 innings over his first seven starts of the season with Salt Lake prior to landing on IL on May 20, the right-hander looks set to work out of the bullpen at the Triple-A level. If he can string together a few quality relief appearances for Salt Lake, he could get a look in the Angels bullpen before the end of the season.

  • Devin Williams RP | NYM

    Yankees' Devin Williams: Up to 16 saves

    Williams earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Phillies, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

    Williams turned in another clean inning Sunday, converting his 11th straight save chance and 16th overall this season. The right-hander has lowered his ERA to 4.58 with a 1.09 WHIP and 53:15 K:BB across 39.1 innings this year.

  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Angels' Kenley Jansen: Strikes out two for save

    Jansen struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

    Jansen sat down Julio Rodriguez, Cal Raleigh and Josh Naylor on a combined 10 pitches (nine strikes) to earn his 18th save of the year. That extends Jansen's scoreless streak to nine innings spanning all of July, during which he's racked up 11 strikeouts while allowing just three hits and no walks. He's at a 3.11 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB through 37.2 innings this season.

  • Jordan Hicks RP | CHW

    Red Sox's Jordan Hicks: Nabs five-out save

    Hicks earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, logging a strikeout and a walk across 1.2 scoreless innings.

    Hicks entered with one out in the eighth inning after Aroldis Chapman opened the frame with back-to-back walks. He escaped unscathed after Teoscar Hernandez lined into an inning-ending double play. Hicks returned in the ninth, working around a two-out walk to close out the one-run victory. It's the second save of the year for Hicks, both of which have come since he joined the Red Sox in the deal that sent Rafael Devers to San Francisco. The 28-year-old Hicks has allowed five runs, just two of which were earned, while posting a 5:5 K:BB through his first eight appearances spanning seven innings with Boston.

  • J.T. Ginn P | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Stymies Astros in victory

    Ginn (2-2) pitched six scoreless innings with four strikeouts to pick up the win Sunday at Houston. He allowed three hits and no walks.

    The 26-year-old righty notched his first quality start of the season, as he generated 10 whiffs out of his 77 total pitches in this performance. In two starts and three relief outings this month, Ginn has been a steady performer for the Athletics, pitching to a 2.25 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 16 frames. Through 44 total innings that include six starts, he now sports a 3.89 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB with a magnificent 53.7 percent groundball rate. Ginn currently lines up to make his next appearance against the Diamondbacks at home next weekend.
