  • Luke Weaver SP | NYM

    Yankees' Luke Weaver: Could return from IL on Friday

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Weaver (hamstring) could be activated from the 15-day injured list prior to Friday's game versus the Orioles, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Weaver bounced back well from a live batting practice session Tuesday and appears in line to return to action this weekend after missing less than three weeks with a strained left hamstring. The right-hander was originally projected to miss 4-to-6 weeks due to the injury, so he's seemingly recovered more quickly than anticipated. Weaver had been serving as the Yankees' closer when he got hurt, but he could return in a setup role with Devin Williams pitching well of late in the ninth inning.

    Tigers' Bailey Horn: Returns from IL

    Horn (elbow) struck out a batter and worked around two walks in a scoreless inning of relief Wednesday for Triple-A Toledo after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

    Horn missed just under a month of action for the Triple-A club while he recovered from left elbow inflammation. The 27-year-old southpaw holds a spot on the Tigers' 40-man roster and previously made one relief appearance for the big club in April, but he'll likely stick around in Toledo for the foreseeable future.

  • Owen White RP | CHW

    White will serve as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. The right-hander will provide some length in the bullpen, which the White Sox will likely need in the second game with Mike Vasil making just his third start following a long stint as a reliever.

  • Yankees' Yerry De Los Santos: Shelved with elbow issue

    The Yankees placed De Los Santos on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to right elbow discomfort.

    He'll be replaced in the bullpen by lefty Jayvien Sandridge, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. De Los Santos has worked in middle relief over his three stints in the big leagues this season, logging a 1.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 13:12 K:BB in 20 innings.

  • Guardians' Erik Sabrowski: Rehab moved to Triple-A

  • Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE

    Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Secures 16th save

    Clase notched a save against the Giants on Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

    Clase inherited a two-run ninth-inning lead and worked around a two-out single to retire the side on 14 pitches. Though the veteran closer has allowed at least one baserunner in each of his past five appearances and has a mediocre 4:4 BB:K across 4.2 frames during that span, he's converted three of four save opportunities in that stretch. It certainly hasn't been Clase's smoothest season -- he's currently holding a 3.69 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, each of which is on pace to be a career-worst mark -- but he's managed to go 16-for-19 in save chances to remain comfortably in control of Cleveland's closer role.

  • Pete Fairbanks RP | MIA

    Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Records final outs in win

    Fairbanks struck out one without allowing a baserunner across a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday against the Orioles.

    Fairbanks was called upon to protect a four-run lead in a non-save situation and set down the Orioles on only 12 pitches. Wednesday's outing was Fairbanks' 30th of the season, 26 of which have been scoreless. Despite racking up only 26 strikeouts across 29.1 innings for the season, Fairbanks has been effective as the locked-in closer for the Rays, converting 13 of 15 save chances with a 2.15 ERA.
