Cruz (3-1) earned the win Saturday against the Guardians. He allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out one over one inning.

Cruz found himself in a jam in the top of the 10th inning but limited the damage to one run and ultimately earned the win after Jonathan India walked it off in the bottom half of the frame. The reliever entered July with a 2.20 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over 32.2 innings but has struggled this month, posting a 6.14 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 7.1 innings. Despite the rough stretch, his season-long numbers remain strong, with a 2.93 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 40 innings, backed by a fastball that regularly touches 98 mph.

Chapman earned a save against the Dodgers on Saturday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter over one scoreless and hitless inning.

Chapman took the mound with a two-run lead in the top of the ninth frame. He retired the first two batters he faced before walking Esteury Ruiz. That brought Mookie Betts up to the plate as a pinch hitter representing the tying run, and Chapman was able to whiz a 97 mph heater past the former MVP for strike three on a 3-2 count to end the game. Chapman's save was his 18th of the campaign, his most since he logged 30 with the Yankees in 2021. The seemingly ageless closer has also registered an impressive 1.31 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 61:11 K:BB through 41.1 innings spanning 44 appearances this season.

Bowlan was returned to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.

Bowlan was summoned to the big club as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against Cleveland, but his time with the team will be short. The right-hander got into Game 2 of the twin bill, allowing two runs on five hits with two strikeouts over 2.1 innings.

Taylor will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Cubs, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Sean Burke had previously been scheduled to start Sunday's series finale, but the White Sox announced late Saturday that Taylor will open the contest. Taylor will be making his second start of the season, but he's not likely to pitch more than an inning or two, as he hasn't thrown more than three innings at any level in 2025. It's not yet clear if Burke was pulled from the start due to an injury or if he's simply going to pitch in bulk relief behind Taylor.

Clase (5-3) took a blown save and the loss by allowing three runs on a hit and two walks over one-third of an inning in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Royals. He then pitched a perfect inning to earn a save in the second game of the twin bill.

It's rare for a reliever to be called on to pitch twice in the same day, and even rarer for the second appearance to come after the type Clase had in the day game, when he threw just six of 15 pitches for strikes. He showed a strong ability to bounce back by locking down his 24th save in 29 chances with his outing in the nightcap. He has a 3.23 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 47:12 K:BB through 47.1 innings over 48 appearances this. While Clase has failed to match his dominance from 2024, he remains firmly entrenched as the Guardians' closer and has mostly bounced back from an ugly start to the campaign.

Baker departed Saturday's contest against the Reds due to a right calf injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays aren't sure at this point if Baker is dealing with a cramp or a strain. If it's the former, Baker could be back in action shortly, but he could be out for longer if he's dealing with a strain. He's set for further evaluation Sunday.

Rodriguez will have right elbow surgery Aug. 8 to address a flexor tendon repair, and his UCL will be evaluated during the surgery to determine if any additional procedures are needed, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

An earlier report indicated Rodriguez will need Tommy John surgery, and while that remains a possibility, the full extent of the reliever's procedure won't be determined until the flexor tendon repair takes place. While Rodriguez is almost certain to miss the remainder of the 2025 campaign regardless, he could pitch in 2026 if Tommy John surgery is not needed. Assuming Rodriguez is indeed done for the current campaign, he'll finish with a 2.08 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB over 30.1 innings spanning 31 appearances while notching 12 holds.

Baker (undisclosed) was pulled from Saturday's matchup versus Cincinnati due to an apparent injury, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Baker entered in the seventh inning and struggled, allowing two runs on two walks and zero hits while striking out one batter. He flexed his lower right leg after his 22nd pitch and was subsequently visited by a trainer and pulled, though the Rays haven't announced a reason for his departure yet. Baker was acquired from the Orioles in a trade July 10 and picked up a hold in two of his first four appearances with Tampa Bay.

Espada agreed to a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Saturday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Espada was cut loose by the Padres on Tuesday after posting a 3.38 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 37.1 total innings between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A El Paso. The 28-year-old has one career MLB appearance under his belt, but he'll likely need to show some improvement at the Triple-A level before he gets another chance in the majors.

The Yankees optioned Winans to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Winans pitched three innings of three-run ball during Saturday's loss to the Phillies, and he'll promptly be sent back to the minors following the performance. The 29-year-old righty now carries an 8.68 ERA and 1.71 WHIP through 9.1 innings in the big leagues this season.
