  • Dylan Coleman RP | NYY

    Royals' Dylan Coleman: Back with Royals

    Coleman was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

    The 25-year-old was sent to the minors on Sunday but will quickly rejoin the big-league club with Amir Garrett (undisclosed) headed to the injured list. Coleman has appeared in 17 games for Kansas City this season and has a 4.02 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 21:15 K:BB across 15.2 innings.

  • Guardians' Konnor Pilkington: Recalled prior to start

    Pilkington was recalled from Triple-A Columbus prior to Thursday's start against the Tigers.

    Pilkington has posted a 2.08 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 8.2 innings over four appearances (one start) in the majors this year, and he'll make his second big-league start Thursday after Aaron Civale (glute) landed on the injured list. Whether Pilkington remains in the rotation during Civale's IL stint likely depends on how well he performs in Thursday's series opener against Detroit.

  • Joe Kelly RP | LAD

    White Sox's Joe Kelly: Lands on injured list

    Kelly was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a strained left hamstring.

    Kelly exited Wednesday's game against the Red Sox with the injury and will now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. He'll be eligible to be activated as early as June 10, but Kelly said he's dealing with a Grade 2 strain and expects to be sidelined for approximately 3-4 weeks, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports. Tanner Banks was promoted from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

  • Tanner Banks RP | PHI

    White Sox's Tanner Banks: Recalled by White Sox

    Banks was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

    Banks was sent down following Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees, but he'll quickly rejoin the major-league club after Joe Kelly (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday. Over 11 relief appearances in the majors this year, Banks has posted a 3.00 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 18 innings.

  • Lou Trivino RP | PHI

    Athletics' Lou Trivino: Gets first hold

    Trivino recorded his first hold in a win over the Mariners on Wednesday, firing a scoreless two-thirds of an inning in which he recorded a strikeout.

    Trivino got his pair of outs to close out the sixth inning on a tidy seven pitches, five which he threw for strikes. The efficient effort was the latest in a stretch of strong showings for Trivino, who now has a 1-0 mark, 2.70 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 14.9 K/9 across the 6.2 innings covering his last 10 appearances.

  • Lucas Luetge RP | BOS

    Yankees' Lucas Luetge: Notches hold Wednesday

    Luetge earned a hold against Baltimore on Wednesday, allowing one walk and striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.

    Luetge handled the top of the eighth inning for New York and retired two batters around a walk to Trey Mancini. The left-hander finished with his third straight scoreless outing and his fourth hold of the campaign. He has appeared in four games over the past seven days after making only three appearances across the first 18 days of May.

  • Bryan Shaw RP | CIN

    Guardians' Bryan Shaw: Pitches scoreless inning

    Shaw allowed a hit and struck out three in a scoreless inning during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

    Shaw's season numbers are skewed by one bad outing -- he allowed five runs without recording an out May 13 versus the White Sox. He's only allowed three other runs in the rest of his 17 appearances this season, but that one meltdown puts him at a 5.27 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB across 13.2 innings. The 34-year-old right-hander has added a 1-0 record and three holds, though he's not likely to see save chances all that frequently.

  • Clay Holmes SP | CHC

    Yankees' Clay Holmes: Earns fifth save of season

    Holmes picked up the save Wednesday against the Orioles. He allowed zero runs on two hits and zero walks while striking out one over one inning.

    With Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) and Chad Green (elbow) on the 15-day injured list, Holmes has been the Yankees' go-to guy for high-leverage situations and has gone 3-for-3 in save opportunities over his last four appearances. Wednesday's performance was a bit shaky, as he allowed the game-tying run to reach, but Holmes slammed the door shut by striking out Jorge Mateo to end the game. Holmes currently sports a 0.38 ERA and a 24:2 K:BB across 23.2 innings.

  • Colin Poche RP | DET

    Rays' Colin Poche: Snags first save

    Poche allowed an unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in the ninth inning to earn the save Wednesday against the Marlins.

    Poche was handed a two-run lead and was ultimately forced to get out of a bases-loaded jam to end the game. Neither of the hits he surrendered left the infield, and the defense committed two errors behind him. Nevertheless, Poche managed to record his first save of the season, which is particularly notable because Andrew Kittredge (back) is sidelined and Brooks Raley was not used in the game. Poche missed the last two seasons due to Tommy John surgery but has returned to maintain a 1.29 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB across 14 innings.

  • Dany Jimenez RP | ATL

    Athletics' Dany Jimenez: Nails down save No. 10

    Jimenez worked a perfect ninth inning Wednesday without a walk or a strikeout to record his 10th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Mariners.

    The 28-year-old rookie continues to dazzle in the closer role for Oakland. Jimenez has yet to blow a save this season, and he's been charged with an earned run in only one of his 18 appearances, leading to a 0.49 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB through 18.1 innings.
