  • Tyler Holton RP | DET

    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Scoops up second win Friday

    Holton (2-2) pitched a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Friday's 9-1 victory over the Angels. He struck out one.

    Holton worked the eighth inning with the game tied 1-1, and then benefitted from an eight-run explosion by the Tigers in the ninth to earn his second win of the year. The lefty led all Detroit relievers with seven regular-season wins in 2024, and he also posted a strong 2.19 ERA across a team-high 94.1 innings out of the bullpen. Holton has been effective once again in 2025, registering a 2.76 ERA and 16 strikeouts through 16.1 innings so far.

  • Bryse Wilson RP | CHW

    White Sox's Bryse Wilson: Primed for another start

    Wilson is listed as the White Sox's starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Astros in Chicago.

    The White Sox could end up deploying Wilson behind an opening pitcher like they did in his last appearance in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers, but in any case, the right-hander will be making his third straight turn through the rotation. Wilson failed to reach four innings in both his start and bulk-relief appearance, but he's progressively pushing up his pitch count after having pitched exclusively in relief before recently moving into the rotation following Martin Perez's (elbow) placement on the injured list. After tossing 58 pitches against the Brewers, Wilson could be ready to handle a 65-to-75-pitch workload Sunday.

  • Jeff Hoffman RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jeff Hoffman: Tallies seventh save

    Hoffman logged a save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Guardians, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Hoffman was brought in for the ninth inning to preserve a two-run lead, but it wasn't an easy going for the 32-year-old right-hander. He had runners on second and third after yielding a walk and a double, but Hoffman was able to escape unscathed after getting Gabriel Arias to ground out to third base. Hoffman needed 26 pitches (16 strikes) to secure his seventh save of the season, which may impact his availability for Saturday's contest.

  • Ben Joyce RP | LAA

    Angels' Ben Joyce: Halts throwing program

    Joyce (shoulder) said Friday that he's no longer throwing but will try again next week, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    The fireballing reliever indicated that he has paused his throwing program because he didn't feel right while recently playing catch. Joyce was placed on the injured list April 11, and given his continued shoulder discomfort, he's likely at least a few weeks away from a potential return. Per Fletcher, tests on Joyce's shoulder haven't revealed anything beyond his original diagnosis of inflammation.

  • Felix Bautista RP | BAL

    Orioles' Felix Bautista: Earns sixth save

    Bautista logged his sixth save of the season in Friday's 3-0 win over the Royals, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.

    Bautista was tasked with preserving the Orioles' three-run lead and needed just 12 pitches (nine strikes) to get through the inning, inducing two groundouts with a strikeout in between. Bautista has converted all six of his save opportunities this season and has yielded just three walks and two hits over his last eight appearances (all scoreless), striking out nine batters.

  • Luke Weaver SP | NYM

    Yankees' Luke Weaver: Breezes to third save

    Weaver earned the save against the Rays on Friday, striking out two batters in a perfect ninth inning.

    Weaver came in for the ninth inning to preserve a three-run lead, and he did so with ease. He needed only 11 pitches (nine strikes) to close things out and finished the frame with back-to-back punchouts. Weaver has yet to yield a run over his 13 outings this season and has a 16:5 K:BB across 15 innings. He's taken over as the Yankees' go-to closer due to Devin Williams' poor start the season.

  • Orioles' Andrew Kittredge: Beginning rehab assignment

    Kittredge (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Aberdeen on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Kittredge has progressed swiftly after having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee during spring training. He will need several rehab outings before joining the Orioles' active roster, but the veteran reliever should be back before the end of May if all goes well.

  • Alec Marsh RP | KC

    Royals' Alec Marsh: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Royals transferred Marsh (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Luke Maile. Marsh re-started a throwing program last week after being shut down for a bit, but he will need several weeks to ramp up, so the move to the 60-day IL doesn't alter his timetable.

  • Matt Festa RP | CLE

    Guardians' Matt Festa: Selected to roster

    The Guardians selected Festa's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

    The Guardians acquired Festa via trade earlier this week and have now added him to their big-league bullpen. Festa has been dominant at the Triple-A level this season, tossing 14.2 scoreless innings with a 20:7 K:BB.

  • Bryan Abreu RP | HOU

    Astros' Bryan Abreu: Back from paternity leave

    The Astros reinstated Abreu from the paternity list Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The 28-year-old Abreu spent 48 hours away from the team but is back to assume his role as the team's top setup man. Through 13 innings of work this season, Abreu has a 2.08 ERA and an 18:8 K:BB.
