Cantillo didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Rangers, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

With Cleveland trying to clinch a playoff berth, Cantillo fell one out short of qualifying for a quality start while coming one strikeout shy of tying his season best. The left-hander has been a solid member of the rotation while Luis L. Ortiz has been on non-disciplinary paid leave, and the former figures to play a significant role in the Guardians' postseason run after notching a shiny 1.59 ERA across his last seven starts. Cantillo wraps up the regular season with a 3.21 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 108:42 K:BB over 95.1 innings.

Latz didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

It was just the eighth start of the season for Latz, who fell one punchout shy of matching his season high. The 29-year-old southpaw didn't see much high-leverage work in 2025 -- he has two holds and one save -- but he was effective as a swingman for the Rangers. Through 85.2 frames, Latz produced a 2.84 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 76:37 K:BB.

Abel (1-2) earned the win Saturday against the Phillies, allowing three hits and one walk in six scoreless innings. He struck out nine.

Making just his second start since joining Minnesota, Abel delivered his finest outing with his new club against the team that traded him away this past July. The right-hander spun six shutout innings for the first time since his major-league debut back in mid-May, and he tied his season high in strikeouts. Given his prospect pedigree and sparkling season finale, the 2020 first-rounder should be under consideration for a back-end rotation spot for the rebuilding Twins in 2026 but will still likely need to prove himself during spring training. Abel will finish the campaign with a rough 6.23 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 39:16 K:BB over 39 frames.

Peralta was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Peralta will return to the major-league bullpen following a demotion Monday, replacing Luis Garcia (oblique) after he was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Peralta owns an inflated 8.38 ERA and 2.07 WHIP with seven strikeouts over 9.2 innings in four appearances with the Angels in September.

Garcia (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Sept. 25.

Garcia is dealing with a left oblique strain, and he will now be forced to miss the team's final two contests of the 2025 campaign. Left-hander Sammy Peralta was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Garcia in the major-league bullpen Saturday.

Vest earned the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Vest's turned in three straight scoreless innings after giving up five earned runs over 1.2 frames in the two outings prior. The 30-year-old right-hander has converted 23 of 30 save chances overall this season while posting a 3.01 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 75:22 K:BB across 68.2 innings.

Blubaugh is slated to start Saturday's game against the Angels in Anaheim, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The rookie right-hander has handled a versatile role for the Astros down the stretch, as he'll be making his second start in September after having yet to yield a run while striking out 17 and scattering five hits and four walks across 14 innings. Though he'll be taking the hill Saturday on six days' rest, Blubaugh may not be stretched out enough to reach the five innings he would need to qualify for a win. Most likely, the Astros will plan for an abbreviated start for Blubaugh before turning to a slew of higher-leverage bullpen arms to close out the contest as Houston looks to remain alive in the AL wild-card race.

Latz is slated to start Saturday's game against the Guardians in Cleveland.

With the Rangers recently welcoming Tyler Mahle back from the injured list, Latz had shifted to the bullpen following his most recent start Sept. 14 against the Mets. He has since made a pair of relief appearances, but Latz will be back in a starting role as the season winds down while the Rangers having shifted to a six-man rotation since being eliminated from playoff contention. Through 32 appearances (seven starts) on the campaign, Latz has gone 2-0 with a 2.80 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 70:37 K:BB in 80.1 innings.

The Mariners optioned Legumina to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.

Legumina will give up his spot in the Mariners' bullpen for Logan Evans (elbow), who returned from the injured list Saturday. Assuming he's thrown his last pitch in the majors this year, Legumina will close the book on 2025 with a 5.62 ERA and 1.45 WHIP alongside a 55:25 K:BB across 49.2 innings.

The Rangers claimed Hamel off waivers from the Orioles on Saturday and optioned him to the Arizona Complex League.

Hamel will join his third organization this month after having previously been waived by the Mets and Orioles. The 26-year-old righty tossed a scoreless inning against the Padres during his MLB debut Sept. 17 but finished the Triple-A season with a 5.32 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 67.2 frames. Marcus Semien (foot) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.
