Tayler Saucedo RP | LAA
Mariners' Tayler Saucedo: Back in big leagues
The Mariners recalled Saucedo from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
The 32-year-old will take Carlos Vargas' spot on the active roster as Vargas heads to the paternity list. Saucedo has a 3.38 ERA in 10 appearances with Tacoma, but he's yielded four runs in 3.2 innings with the Mariners in 2025. He hasn't been on the active roster since late April.

Nic Enright RP | CLE
Guardians' Nic Enright: Up for doubleheader
Enright will serve as the Guardians' 27th player for Friday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Enright will provide a fresh arm for Cleveland's bullpen, marking his second MLB stint of the season. In 11 appearances with the Guardians this season, the righty owns a 2.08 ERA and an 11:7 K:BB across 13 innings. He'll likely head back to Triple-A Columbus after Friday's nightcap.

Fraser Ellard RP | CHW
White Sox's Fraser Ellard: Rejoins bullpen
The White Sox recalled Ellard from Triple-A Charlotte to serve as their 27th man for Friday's doubleheader versus the Guardians.
Ellard will rejoin the White Sox for the first time since early May, after being reinstated from the 60-day IL and optioned to Charlotte on July 4. During his time at Triple-A this season, Ellard hasn't shown an ability to curb his walks (17.3 BB% in 11 innings), so the White Sox may not be eager to deploy him in high-leverage spots. He'll likely be returned to Charlotte once the twin bill concludes.

Aroldis Chapman RP | BOS
Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Continues to roll with 16th save
Chapman picked up the save in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rays, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.
The veteran southpaw continues to roll right along as Boston's closer in 2025, having now converted 16 of his 17 save opportunities. Additionally, Chapman hasn't yielded an earned run over his last 16 innings. That said, his expiring contract makes him a logical trade candidate ahead of the July 31 deadline, which is something for fantasy managers to keep in mind moving forward.

Bryan Baker RP | TB
Rays' Bryan Baker: Flounders in team debut
Baker (3-3) was charged with the loss and a blown save in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Boston, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks in the seventh inning. He struck out one.
Making his Rays debut, Baker was brought on to protect a three-run lead but floundered in the seventh frame. The 30-year-old right-hander should still act as a setup man for closer Pete Fairbanks in Tampa Bay's bullpen moving ahead, although the former has now given up seven runs in his past two outings. Baker is now at a 4.12 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 50:11 K:BB over 39.1 innings in 2025.

Andres Munoz RP | SEA
Mariners' Andres Munoz: Saddled with sixth blown save
Munoz was charged with a blown save in Thursday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Yankees, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with no strikeouts in the ninth inning.
It was the sixth blown save of the season by Munoz, who gave up multiple hits for only the second time out of 36 appearances this year. The hard-throwing right-hander remains Seattle's clear-cut closer, although he's been rather shaky since opening the campaign with a 0.00 ERA through May 29. Over his last 11.1 frames (12 outings), Munoz owns a 4.76 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB.

Isaiah Campbell RP | ARI
Red Sox's Isaiah Campbell: Quickly back to minors
Campbell was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Campbell had his contract selected Tuesday and made his season debut in the majors one day later with two runs allowed over two innings. The move likely signifies the return of Hunter Dobbins (elbow) from the injured list, but an official corresponding move has yet to be announced.

Grant Wolfram P | BAL
Orioles' Grant Wolfram: Returned to minors
The Orioles optioned Wolfram to Triple-A Norfolk following Thursday's doubleheader with the Mets, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Wolfram threw two scoreless innings in the first game of the doubleheader against the Mets, striking out four while picking up his first career win. He's primarily pitched at Norfolk this season, but he could be back as an extra arm in Baltimore's bullpen if needed later in the summer.
