Suter will start Saturday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Angels scratched Jose Soriano from his start Saturday as they look to trade him ahead of Monday's deadline, so Suter will now take the mound to begin the game. The 36-year-old has given up two earned runs in nine innings since the All-Star break and has the ability to go two or three innings before coming out of the game.

The Orioles recalled Hiraldo from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

The Orioles have an open spot on their pitching staff after sending Dean Kremer to Minnesota on Friday, so they'll bring up Hiraldo to add extra bullpen depth until a fifth starter is needed. Hiraldo gave up four earned runs in 1.2 innings across three appearances with the Orioles back in March before landing on the IL with a shoulder injury. He's given up just one run in 8.1 Triple-A innings since then.

The Twins reinstated Acton (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Acton landed on the injured list in late April with a strained right shoulder but began playing in rehab games July 11. Since then, he's given up four runs in 9.2 innings across three levels. Now fully healthy, he'll stay put at Triple-A and provide organizational bullpen depth.

The Twins designated Laweryson (undisclosed) for assignment Saturday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Laweryson will give up his 40-man roster spot to A.J. Minter, who officially joined the Twins on Saturday after being traded from the Mets on Thursday. Laweryson owns a 4.86 ERA and 1.38 WHIP through 16.2 innings in the majors this year and hasn't pitched at Triple-A St. Paul since July 17 due to an unknown injury.

Madden (1-0) earned the win in Friday's 13-1 victory against the Athletics. He allowed two hits and two walks while striking out two over three scoreless innings.

The Tigers scratched Casey Mize from Friday's start with the trade deadline looming and instead went with a bullpen game. Tyler Holton served as the opener, and Madden followed with three scoreless frames of bulk relief. The right-hander rejoined the Tigers on July 21 after spending just over a month at Triple-A Toledo, and he's pitched well since returning to the majors with a 0.90 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across 10 innings (four appearances).

Hoffman (6-7) picked up the win Friday over the Cardinals, striking out two in a perfect eighth inning.

Trade rumors continue to swirl around the right-hander, but Hoffman hasn't let them be a distraction. He's been tagged for earned runs in only one of 10 appearances in July, posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB over 9.1 innings on the month as the primary setup man for closer Louis Varland.

Wells worked a perfect ninth inning Friday without striking out a batter to record his fourth save of the season in a 6-4 win over the Phillies.

It was the veteran right-hander's first save since July 17 as the Orioles continue to go with a committee approach at closer. While Wells is the only one of the team's relievers with multiple saves since the All-Star break, four other pitchers have nabbed one each, including Andrew Kittredge and Rico Garcia. With Ryan Helsley (elbow) not expected back until late August and Felix Bautista (shoulder) still uncertain to pitch at all in 2026, Wells will remain one of the top high-leverage options for Baltimore. Over 14 appearances and 16.1 innings in July, he produced a 1.10 ERA, 0.61 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB.

The Brewers traded Yoho and Blake Perkins to the Guardians on Saturday in exchange for Bo Naylor and Codi Heuer, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Yoho has turned in a 3.15 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 20 innings with the Brewers this season. He figures to instantly provide reinforcements to Cleveland's bullpen and could eventually land a high-leverage role if he continues to find success with the Guardians.

Leasure (forearm) has resumed throwing bullpen sessions, MLB.com reports.

Leasure has been sidelined since late May with a right flexor strain. He was able to resume bullpen sessions in late July, and he is expected to return at some point in August. However, he will almost certainly need a rehab assignment, so he may not be activated until late in the month.

Gomez allowed two walks and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Gomez has collected four saves and two wins over his last eight outings, though he's posted an 8:7 K:BB across eight innings in that span. Despite the slight drama, he was able to slam the door without allowing a run, picking up his 14th save of the season in the process. Gomez has maintained a 3.26 ERA on the year despite a 1.29 WHIP and 45:25 K:BB through 49.2 innings between the Twins and the Rays, and he's yet to blow a save chance while adding six holds. His 1.67 ERA and 1.08 WHIP over 32.1 innings with Minnesota paint a more encouraging picture of his performance, giving him decent stability in the closer role depending on how much the Twins reshape their bullpen before the trade deadline.
