  • Justin Wilson RP | BOS

    Yankees' Justin Wilson: Responding well to treatment

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Wilson (hamstring) is responding to treatment and "doing really well," MLB.com reports.

    Wilson has been on the injured list since May 29, but he appears to be making progress from the right hamstring issue that Boone said had been nagging the reliever for "a few weeks." It's not yet clear when Wilson could return to the Yankees' bullpen.

  • Daniel Norris RP | CLE

    Tigers' Daniel Norris: Melts down in 11th inning

    Norris (0-2) allowed five runs (four earned) on three hits and two walks in one inning, taking the loss versus Seattle on Wednesday.

    Norris was on the mound for all of Seattle's five-run rally in the top of the 11th, and Detroit wasn't able to cover the damage. It's been a difficult year for the southpaw, who has a 6.65 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 23 innings. He's added five holds and two blown saves, but his inconsistent pitching will likely keep him from earning more high-leverage work.

  • JT Chargois RP | TEX

    Mariners' JT Chargois: Collects extra-innings win

    Chargois (1-0) allowed an unearned run and struck out two in one inning to earn the win in extra innings versus Detroit on Wednesday.

    Chargois allowed Detroit to re-tie the game when he uncorked a wild pitch in the 10th inning. Seattle then rallied for five runs in the 11th, and Chargois ended up with his first win of the year. The right-hander has pitched well with a 1.80 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB across 15 innings this season, adding five holds and a blown save in 15 appearances.

  • Sean Manaea SP | NYM

    Athletics' Sean Manaea: Hurls six shutout frames

    Manaea (5-2) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out three in six scoreless innings, earning the win in Wednesday's 4-0 victory over the Diamondbacks.

    The lefty entered an enticing matchup (at home against the Diamondbacks) and didn't disappoint. Manaea labored a bit through the first couple innings, but he made it through six innings on 111 pitches and lowered his ERA to 3.09. He's been superb of late while allowing just two earned runs over 26.2 innings in his last four starts, and he's expected to next pitch Monday against the Angels.

  • Royals' Carlos Hernandez: Recalled by Royals

    The Royals recalled Hernandez to the big-league roster Wednesday.

    The righty has struggled considerably in four relief appearances this season, having allowed multiple runs in three of his four appearances en route to a 8.22 ERA. In his only scoreless outing, Hernandez walked three batters without recording an out. Regardless, he's being called upon once again to provide some added bullpen depth.

  • Rays' J.P. Feyereisen: Garners first hold Tuesday

    Feyereisen recorded his first hold in a win over the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing no hits but issuing three walks over one-third of an inning.

    Feyereisen had an extremely labor-intensive sub-one-inning outing, getting only 12 of 26 pitches into the strike zone while creating a heap of trouble that Ryan Thompson was able to subsequently wiggle out of. The 28-year-old is working on a five-appearance scoreless streak and sports an outstanding 1.04 ERA, but his 5.8 BB/9 across 28 innings remains an albatross.

  • Brett Martin RP | TEX

    Rangers' Brett Martin: Earns win in relief

    Martin (1-2) allowed one hit and an unearned run across two innings, earning the victory in Wednesday's 4-3, extra-innings win over the Rangers.

    The lefty was very efficient, requiring just 16 pitches (14 of which were strikes) to get through the 10th and 11th innings. Martin yielded four runs in an inning Sunday after recording 15 straight scoreless appearances, but he appears to be back on track after that one rough showing.

  • Chad Green RP | TOR

    Yankees' Chad Green: Notches ninth hold

    Green earned the hold against Minnesota on Tuesday, tossing a perfect inning during which he struck out one batter.

    Green came on in the eighth inning with New York holding a two-run lead and set the side down in order. It was a nice bounceback outing after the right-hander gave up a season-high four runs in his previous appearance. Green has nine holds, a 3.03 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP through 26 outings as the Yankees' top setup man.

  • Jackson Kowar RP | BAL

    Royals' Jackson Kowar: Gets another shot after rough debut

    Kowar is scheduled to start Saturday's game in Oakland, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

    The 24-year-old right-hander couldn't make it out of the first inning in his highly anticipated MLB debut Monday, recording just two outs while surrendering four runs on three hits and two walks en route to taking a loss. Ervin Santana performed better in long relief (three earned runs allowed in four innings), but the Royals won't look to make a change to their rotation after Kowar's shaky debut. Kowar will have nowhere to go but up Saturday, though he may need to make notable improvements in his control and command to ensure he receives a third turn through the rotation.

  • Matt Andriese RP | MIA

    Red Sox's Matt Andriese: Provides needed length

    Andriese allowed one run on three hits and struck out five over three innings in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Astros.

    Houston's belligerent lineup chased starter Martin Perez early, so the Red Sox turned to their multi-inning reliever out of the bullpen. This was the sixth time in 19 outings that Andriese has thrown more than two innings. The 31-year-old right-hander has a 4.88 ERA over 27.2 innings.
