  • Devin Williams RP | NYM

    Yankees' Devin Williams: Tallies fourth save Thursday

    Williams earned the save after throwing a clean ninth inning in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Rays.

    While he didn't record a strikeout, Williams put the Rays away on just six pitches (five strikes) Thursday. The All-Star closer has been shaky at times to begin his Yankees tenure, as evidenced by his 5.14 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB over seven innings, but Williams is unscored upon in his past four outings and has still converted each of his first four save chances as New York's closer.

  • Tommy Kahnle RP | DET

    Tigers' Tommy Kahnle: Logs third save

    Kahnle tossed two scoreless innings in Thursday's 6-1 win over Kansas City to earn his third save of the season.

    Kahnle inherited two baserunners when he was called in for the eighth inning with Detroit leading 4-1, but he was able to force two-straight groundouts (the first of which resulted in a double play) to get out of the frame unscathed. After the Tigers tacked on two insurance runs, he came back out for the ninth inning and needed just nine pitches to retire the side and register his third save of the 2025 campaign. Kahnle has a 1.29 ERA, 0.43 WHIP and 5:0 K:BB across seven innings, as he has settled into the closer role.

  • Hunter Harvey RP | CHC

    Royals' Hunter Harvey: Set for re-evaluation

    Harvey (shoulder) will be re-evaluated Tuesday with the hope of getting cleared to begin throwing, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Harvey was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right teres major strain April 11 after he felt it the day prior while warming up. The injury isn't believed to be a serious concern, but the right-hander will likely need a bit of time to build his arm back up even if he restarts his throwing program next week.

  • Alec Marsh RP | KC

    Royals' Alec Marsh: Scheduled for re-evaluation

    Marsh (shoulder) will be re-evaluated Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Marsh's evaluation is following a 10-day shutdown period which was the result of a minor setback he suffered while rehabbing his right shoulder at the beginning of April. A return timeline could come into focus once he's able to restart a throwing program.

  • Jason Foley RP | SF

    Tigers' Jason Foley: To Triple-A IL with shoulder strain

    Foley was placed on the 7-day injured list by Triple-A Toledo on Thursday due a right shoulder strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Foley struck out nine and permitted just one hit over 6.2 scoreless innings in his first five appearances with Toledo, but he hadn't pitched in several days and now it's been revealed why. It's not clear how long he might be sidelined, but the former Tigers closer will not be an option for the big club for a while.

  • Sean Guenther RP | DET

    Tigers' Sean Guenther: Starting rehab assignment

    Guenther (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Guenther has been on the 7-day injured list all season with Triple-A Toledo due to lumbar spine inflammation. He'll eventually move up to Toledo once deemed ready and could help the Tigers' bullpen at some point later this season.

  • Michael Tonkin RP | MIN

    Twins' Michael Tonkin: Cleared for rehab games

    Tonkin (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Tonkin landed on the 15-day injured list before the season with a right shoulder strain, but he's ready to test things out in a game setting. Barring a setback, the veteran reliever will have a shot to rejoin the Twins' bullpen before the end of April.

  • Will Klein RP | LAD

    Mariners' Will Klein: Heads back to minors

    The Mariners optioned Klein to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

    Klein was with the big club for only one day and did not make an appearance. He is making room on the roster for Emerson Hancock, who has been recalled to start Thursday in Cincinnati.

  • Greg Weissert RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Greg Weissert: Stellar work in win

    Weissert (1-0) struck out three over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win in Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Tampa Bay.

    Boston's bullpen dominated the Rays with Weissert kicking off the effort. He entered in the bottom of the fifth inning with two on and two out and struck out Yandy Diaz after falling behind 2-0. The righty then set down all three hitters in the sixth, including two by strikeout. It was the eighth scoreless appearance out of nine for Weissert, who owns a 2.08 ERA with 11 strikeouts and one walk over 8.2 innings.

  • Red Sox's Garrett Whitlock: Two bridge innings in win

    Whitlock allowed one hit and struck out four over two scoreless innings to earn a hold in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Rays.

    The Red Sox received stellar work from the bullpen, which allowed one hit and struck out nine over 4.1 innings. Whitlock, who made his fifth multi-inning appearance, threw 24 pitches (21 strikes) to navigate the seventh and eighth innings for his second hold. That set up the save for Justin Slaten. Whitlock sports a 2.31 ERA with nine hits and four walks allowed while striking out 15 over 11.2 innings (seven outings).
