  • Angels' Sam Aldegheri: Set to be recalled

    The Angels will recall Aldegheri from Double-A Rocket City prior to Tuesday's contest against the Rangers, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.

    Aldegheri will give the Halos a fresh relief arm after the bullpen was needed for four innings in Monday's win over Texas. The 23-year-old lefty previously made one relief appearance earlier this season for the Angels, allowed two unearned runs over 2.1 frames back on June 4 in Boston. Aldegheri has collected a 4.83 ERA and 63:40 K:BB in 72.2 innings as a starter at Rocket City this season.

  • Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE

    Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Nails down 19th save

    Clase earned the save against the Astros on Monday by throwing a perfect ninth inning.

    Clase rebounded from Sunday's blown save against the Tigers by retiring the Astros in order Monday, closing out a 7-5 win by inducing three groundouts. His 2025 numbers -- a 3.20 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 39.1 innings -- aren't anywhere near as eye-popping as last season's 0.61 ERA and 0.66 WHIP in 74.1 innings, but the flamethrower's underlying metrics remain strong. A 2.49 FIP this year compared to 2.22 in 2024 suggests he's still pitching at a high level. The jump in walk rate to 2.3 BB/9, his highest since 2019, has certainly contributed to the statistical dip, but Clase remains a top-tier reliever.

  • Trace Bright RP | BAL

    Orioles' Trace Bright: Activated from IL

    Bright was reinstated from the 7-day injured list June 29.

    Bright has made two appearances since returning from a strained right forearm. He's surrendered six runs (five earned) on five hits and five walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings at Double-A Chesapeake.

  • Victor Mederos RP | LAA

    Angels' Victor Mederos: Returning to big leagues

    Mederos was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake before Monday's game against the Rangers.

    Mederos is in line for another chance in the major leagues after making one appearance earlier in the season. He surrendered two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out two over three innings April 25 against the Twins and will join the club in Los Angeles after it was reported that Hunter Strickland (shoulder) will require a stint on the 15-day injured list.

  • Angels' Hunter Strickland: Moved to injured list

    Strickland was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right shoulder inflammation.

    Strickland tossed a scoreless frame and registered a strikeout in Sunday's series finale against the Blue Jays, so it's unclear as to when this issue may have flared up. Victor Mederos was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

  • Bailey Horn P | DET

    Tigers' Bailey Horn: Headed back to Triple-A

    The Tigers optioned Horn to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    He's clearing out to free up a spot on the roster for the addition of Keider Montero, who was called up from Triple-A to start in Monday's game against the Rays. Horn has made three relief appearances for the Tigers this season, yielding one run with a 3:1 K:BB over 2.2 innings.

  • Rays' Mason Englert: Rejoins big-league bullpen

    The Rays recalled Englert from Triple-A Durham on Monday.

    Englert has made 13 appearances out of the Rays' bullpen in 2025, posting a 4.84 ERA but a more promising 22:4 K:BB over 22.1 innings. He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by Mason Montgomery, who was sent down to Durham.

  • Rays' Mason Montgomery: Sent down to minors

    The Rays optioned Montgomery to Triple-A Durham on Monday.

    Montgomery allowed two runs while recording just one out in Sunday's win over the Twins and has posted a disappointing 5.74 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB over 31.1 innings this season. The hard-throwing lefty will look to improve his command and control at Durham.

  • Mark Leiter RP | ATH

    Yankees' Mark Leiter: Notches shaky hold

    Leiter picked up a hold against the Mets on Sunday, walking one batter and hitting another but allowing no runs over two-thirds of an inning.

    Leiter didn't have good control in the outing, as he threw just six of 16 pitches for strikes and hit a batter in addition to issuing a walk. However, that hit batsman was wiped out on a double play, and the free pass didn't end up hurting the Yankees. Leiter was ultimately credited with a hold -- his 11th of the campaign, but his first since June 19. The right-hander has held the opponent scoreless in consecutive outings after giving up seven runs (five earned) over 1.2 frames during a rough three-game stretch from June 24 to July 1.

  • Brendon Little RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Secures 16th hold

    Little gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless eighth inning Sunday to record his 16th hold of the season in a win over the Angels. He struck out one.

    The 28-year-old southpaw was a first-round pick of the Cubs back in 2017, and that talent has finally shown through this season in a high-leverage relief role. Little's 16 holds leads the Blue Jays by a wide margin -- Yariel Rodriguez is second with 10 -- and has him sixth in the American League, six back of Houston's Bryan Abreu. Little backs up that setup success with a 2.18 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 58:27 K:BB through 41.1 innings.
