  • Peter Solomon RP | ARI

    Astros' Peter Solomon: Recalled by Astros

    Solomon was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Solomon tossed two scoreless innings for the Astros earlier in the season, but he was sent down at the end of April and made nine appearances (six starts) with the Triple-A club. He posted a 6.11 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 35.1 innings during that time, but he'll now rejoin the big-league bullpen after left-hander Ryan Hartman was sent down Thursday.

  • Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE

    Indians' Emmanuel Clase: Implodes in non-save situation

    Clase was charged with three runs (one earned) on three hits in his relief appearance during Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Tigers in the second game of a doubleheader.

    With Cleveland losing three of its last four games heading into the second game of the twin bill and with the lone victory coming by a big margin, Clase was called upon in a non-save situation in an attempt to stay fresh. The hard-throwing righty wasn't at his best, but he was spared significant damage to his still-sparkling 1.10 ERA after teammate Yu Chang committed an error to lead off the sixth inning. With an 11-for-12 success rate on save chances to go with strong ratios, Clase should continue to remain relevant in the late innings for Cleveland, though he'll occasionally cede saves to co-closer James Karinchak.

  • Justin Wilson RP | BOS

    Yankees' Justin Wilson: Returns with scoreless frame

    Wilson pitched a perfect inning, notching one strikeout Wednesday against the Angels.

    Following an extended rain delay, Wilson was brought in to relieve starter Domingo German in the fourth inning. The left-hander made easy work of the three batters he faced, needing only 10 pitches to set the side down in order. Wilson should settle back into the team's bullpen plans moving forward, though he may not receive frequent high-leverage opportunities -- through 16 appearances, he has logged just two holds and one save.

  • Bryan Shaw RP | CIN

    Indians' Bryan Shaw: Takes loss Wednesday

    Shaw (2-3) took the loss in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus Detroit. He allowed a run on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in one inning.

    It was a back-and-forth game for four innings before Detroit took control in the fifth. Shaw's loss came on the RBI single he surrendered to Harold Castro. The right-hander had a shaky June, posting a 1-3 record, two blown saves, four holds and a 6.94 ERA across 11.2 innings. He had only given up three runs across 20.2 innings in the first two months of the season. With little chance of unseating James Karinchak or Emmanuel Clase for save chances, Shaw's usefulness in fantasy remains limited.

  • Ryan Borucki RP | SF

    Blue Jays' Ryan Borucki: Live BP on tap

    Borucki (forearm) will throw live batting practice early next week, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Borucki's side session Tuesday apparently went well, as he'll now face hitters for the first time. If he feels good following his throwing session, the southpaw will likely begin a rehab assignment shortly thereafter. He's been on the injured list since May 14, so it's not yet clear how many rehab outings he'll need before being cleared to return.

  • Derek Law RP | ARI

    Twins' Derek Law: Called up by Twins

    Law's contract was selected by the Twins on Thursday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Law was cast off the 40-man roster and outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul in mid-May, and he's posted a 4.61 ERA in 13.2 innings with the minor-league club this year. He's recorded an 8.53 ERA and 2.68 WHIP in 6.1 innings across five appearances with the Twins in 2021, and he should serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever after right-hander Matt Shoemaker was designated for assignment.

  • Lou Trivino RP | PHI

    Athletics' Lou Trivino: Secures 13th save

    Trivino allowed one run on three hits while striking out a batter over an inning Wednesday against the Rangers but was still able to pick up save No. 13 on the year.

    Trivino entered the ninth with the tough task of sending down the Rangers' No. 3, 4 and 5 hitters and ran into some trouble. He started off by recording an out but then allowed a solo home run to Joey Gallo to make it a 3-1 ballgame. The next two batters each recorded a base knock to bring the potential winning run to the plate, but Trivino was able to strand the runners and pick up the save. It was the first earned run he's given up since May 5, a span of 19 appearances. The 29-year-old owns a 2.11 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 35:17 K:BB over 38.1 innings in his first year as the Athletics' primary closer.

  • Mariners' Kendall Graveman: Pockets win Wednesday

    Graveman (2-0) walked one without allowing a hit over 1.2 scoreless innings to pick up the win in Wednesday's 9-7 extra-inning victory over the Blue Jays. He didn't strike out a batter.

    The 30-year-old entered the game in the eighth inning and was still the pitcher of record when Dylan Moore broke open a 6-6 tie in the top of the 10th with a three-run blast. Graveman gave up his first earned runs of the year in June, finishing the month with a 3.52 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 4:2 K:BB through 7.2 innings while recording a win and two saves over seven appearances. He should remain part of Seattle's closer mix unless he gets flipped before the trade deadline.

  • Cole Sulser RP | TB

    Orioles' Cole Sulser: Locks down save No. 3

    Sulser threw 1.2 scoreless innings Wednesday against the Astros while earning his third save of the year. He did not allow a hit and struck out one in the effort.

    Susler relieved Paul Fry with a man on and one out in the eighth and sent down all five batters he faced with relative ease. He picked up his second save over the last five days as it appears he'll continue to be in the mix for save opportunities for the time being. He could be an option to scoop up in AL-only leagues but overall still isn't very trustworthy on most rosters given the fact that he's in a committee on one of the worst teams in baseball. Sulser now owns a 2.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 43:12 K:BB over 30.2 innings.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Orioles' Tanner Scott: Earns win Wednesday

    Scott (3-3) pitched 1.2 perfect innings while striking out four as he got the win over the Astros on Wednesday.

    Scott entered in the fifth with two men on and one out after Matt Harvey surrendered back-to-back walks before he was replaced on the mound. The 26-year-old Scott got out of trouble with ease and then struck out the side in the sixth in what was his best relief outing of the year. It was the first time he's gone over an inning of relief since April 7 and the first time he's recorded four strikeouts since June 29, 2019. This comes on the heels of one his worst performances of the year after he walked three and struck out one in one-third of an inning Monday against the Astros. Scott now owns a 2.93 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 48:26 K:BB over 30.2 innings.
