The Orioles designated Hamel for assignment Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Just five days after being claimed off waivers from the Mets, Hamel will lose his place on Baltimore's 40-man roster to make room for Carson Ragsdale, who was claimed from Atlanta on Thursday. Hamel has spent the vast majority of the season in Triple-A, where he owns a 5.32 ERA and 1.34 WHIP alongside a 75:22 K:BB across 67.2 innings.

Fermin earned a hold against the Royals on Wednesday with a perfect inning of work.

After Yusei Kikuchi was pulled from the contest due to a left forearm cramp, Fermin took over in the sixth inning and retired all three batters he faced on 11 pitches. The right-hander has been effective since his most recent call-up from the minors Aug. 17, registering a 1.88 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB over 14.1 innings spanning 16 appearances. Fermin has recorded a modest six holds over 39 outings this season, but he's picked up a hold in each of his past two games.

Suarez will undergo another MRI on his injured right elbow after the inflammation subsides, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Suarez had imaging last week after landing on the 15-day injured list, but the results were inconclusive due to inflammation. He's scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister on Oct. 7, and more should be known about his condition after that exam.

Melton will start Thursday's game in Cleveland, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Each of Melton's last 10 appearances have come in relief, though he did throw three innings as recently as Sept. 13. The rookie right-hander will be pitching on four days' rest and should be capable of going a few innings for the Tigers, if needed. Keider Montero should be available for bulk out of the bullpen, though it's unclear whether the Tigers intend to use him.

Abel is scheduled to start Saturday in Philadelphia.

Abel made a four-inning relief appearance after being recalled from Triple-A St. Paul last weekend and will get an opportunity to make a start for the Twins against his former team. The right-hander was knocked around for six runs over three innings versus the White Sox last month in his only start for Minnesota.

Jansen secured the save Wednesday against the Royals, striking out two in a clean ninth inning.

Jansen posted his 28th save of the season, and he hasn't permitted a single hit over his last nine appearances. Through 59 innings, the veteran right-hander has a 2.64 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 54:19 K:BB while blowing just one save opportunity. Jansen is headed for unrestricted free agency this winter, and he'll soon set his sights toward trying to become only the third member of the illustrious 500-save club along with Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman. Jansen has 475 saves for his career.

Maton threw a clean ninth inning for the save Wednesday against Minnesota. He struck out one.

Maton recorded his career-high fifth save of the season in his eighth consecutive scoreless outing. The right-hander has given the Rangers' bullpen a nice boost for the most part since coming over from St. Louis, working to a 3.27 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 32:7 K:BB over 22 innings for Texas. Maton's 2.69 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 2025 both represent career bests.

Varland will start Thursday's game against the Red Sox, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Varland has turned in a 5.66 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 20.2 innings since being traded to Toronto, and the Jays will now see how he fares in a new role. The 27-year-old righty began his career working primarily as a starter with the Twins, though he will likely only remain in Thursday's game for an inning or two before turning things over to the bullpen.

Gipson-Long (neck) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is working out in Toledo as part of reserve squad with the Triple-A season over, per MLB.com.

Gipson-Long has been out since Sept. 11 due to neck stiffness. It's possible he returns before the regular season ends, though the Tigers now have just four games remaining. If Gipson-Long does make it back this week, he'll likely slot into a bullpen role with limited fantasy value. The 27-year-old righty could reemerge as a rotation option in 2026, depending on what Detroit does over the offseason.

The White Sox placed Gonzalez on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right elbow impingement.

Gonzalez got his first taste of the big leagues this season and appeared in 16 games out of Chicago's bullpen, registering a 2.66 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 20.1 innings of work. The 23-year-old should be apart of the team's bullpen in 2026.
