  • Kade Strowd P | ARI

    Orioles' Kade Strowd: Back in big leagues

    The Orioles recalled Strowd from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

    The right-hander was promoted for one day in late April and will rejoin the Orioles with Kyle Gibson being designated for assignment. Strowd has a 7.47 ERA and 25:7 K:BB over 15.2 innings for Norfolk this season and is looking to make his MLB debut.

  • Cole Winn SP | TEX

    Rangers' Cole Winn: Returns to Triple-A

    The Rangers optioned Winn to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

    The right-hander was called up from Triple-A on Thursday and delivered 2.1 scoreless frames Friday in his season debut for the Rangers. Winn will return to Round Rock, where he's started the campaign with 23.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen.

  • Rangers' Caleb Boushley: Promoted Sunday

    The Rangers recalled Boushley from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

    The 31-year-old was sent down Thursday but will rejoin the big-league roster ahead of Sunday's series finale versus Houston. Boushley has made six appearances in the majors so far this year and has a 4.50 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB over 12 innings.

  • Red Sox's Garrett Whitlock: Encouraging outing

    Whitlock walked one over a scoreless eighth inning in Saturday's 7-6 win over Atlanta.

    Whitlock had been brutal of late, entering the contest with a 10.80 ERA and four blown saves over his previous five outings. While he did issue a walk and allow a hard-hit flyout, it was an encouraging performance for the right-hander.

  • Chris Martin RP | TEX

    Rangers' Chris Martin: Returns to action

    Martin (elbow) threw a scoreless inning in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

    Martin recently dealt with elbow tightness and hadn't pitched since Tuesday, but imaging came back negative. With closer Luke Jackson (hand) still dealing with an injury, Martin could snag save opportunities in the short term.

  • Danny Coulombe RP | TEX

    Twins' Danny Coulombe: Out with forearm strain

    The Twins placed Coulombe on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to an extensor strain in his left forearm.

    It's unclear when Coulombe sustained the injury since he hasn't pitched since Wednesday. The left-hander hasn't given up a run through 19 appearances this season and owns a stellar 19:2 K:BB over 16.2 innings out of the Minnesota bullpen, but he'll now be unavailable for at least the next couple weeks.

  • Reid Detmers SP | LAA

    Angels' Reid Detmers: Nabs victory in relief

    Detmers (1-2) earned the win over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out two batters over two innings.

    Detmers entered in the sixth frame with runners on second and third and no outs after Hector Neris allowed all three batters he faced to reach base. Though he yielded an infield single and a walk, Detmers did a good job limiting the damage, allowing just one of the inherited runners to cross the plate while inducing a key double play groundout off the bat of Shohei Ohtani. Detmers continued into the seventh and gave up a run of his own, but he still received credit for the win on a day when he was the most effective Angels reliever aside from closer Kenley Jansen. Detmers recently went through an awful stretch during which he allowed 12 earned runs while retiring just one batter over a three-outing span, but the lefty has been better since then, yielding just one run while posting a 5:3 K:BB across four innings over his past three appearances.

  • Brenan Hanifee RP | DET

    Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Takes first loss Saturday

    Hanifee (2-1) allowed a run on two hits and a walk while retiring only two batters to take the loss in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to the Blue Jays.

    Hanifee worked the bottom of the ninth inning in a 1-1 game and allowed a one-out double to Daulton Varsho. The righty came back to get the next batter, then intentionally walked Anthony Santander to bring Ernie Clement to the plate with two outs. Clement proceeded to deliver a walk-off single, saddling Hanifee with the loss. The reliever has been solid this season with a 2.35 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 19 appearances.

  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Angels' Kenley Jansen: Secures four-out save

    Jansen allowed a hit over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Saturday's 11-9 win over the Dodgers. He did not strike out or walk a batter.

    Jansen has covered 2.1 scoreless innings versus one of his old teams in this weekend's series. He got through this outing with 16 pitches (13 strikes) while earning his first save since May 3. It's been a bumpy month for the veteran closer, but he's taken care of business in save situations. On the year, he has a 5.40 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB over 13.1 innings, but he's been scored upon only in non-save situations while converting all eight of his save chances.

  • Pete Fairbanks RP | MIA

    Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Clean ninth inning

    Fairbanks threw a scoreless ninth inning without allowing a baserunner Saturday against the Marlins.

    Fairbanks entered the game in the ninth inning with a four-run lead for his first appearance since Tuesday. It was a good bounce-back effort for him, as he allowed two earned runs in a similar situation his last time out. Fairbanks has now held opponents scoreless in 16 of his 19 outings this season, though he hasn't picked up a save since May 4.
