  • Logan VanWey RP | HOU

    Astros' Logan VanWey: Set for major-league debut

    VanWey is expected be called up from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    VanWey will join the Astros ahead of their series in Seattle after making four appearances out of the bullpen for Sugar Land so far this season, posting a 4.50 ERA and 2.00 WHIP with seven strikeouts over four innings. Houston is expected to option Luis Contreras to Triple-A to clear a spot in the bullpen for VanWey, who will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

  • John Brebbia RP | COL

    Tigers' John Brebbia: Earns first 2025 win

    Brebbia (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the White Sox.

    Brebbia worked the top of the ninth inning with the Tigers down 3-1 and ended up walking away with his first win of the season when Detroit scored three times in the bottom half of the frame. The veteran righty was 0-6 with a 5.86 ERA for the White Sox and Atlanta last year, but he's got a sparkling 0.00 ERA across five innings so far in 2025 to go along with his 1-0 record.

  • Royals' Carlos Estevez: Collects second save

    Estevez secured the save in Sunday's 4-1 win against the Orioles, pitching a clean inning with a strikeout.

    After blowing a save in his last outing Wednesday against Milwaukee, Estevez righted the ship with this performance, retiring the side succinctly on nine pitches. The offseason addition continues to be the main saves source in Kansas City over Lucas Erceg, as Estevez has entered the ninth in all three save chances for the Royals.

  • Angels' Michael Darrell-Hicks: Summoned to big-league bullpen

    The Angels selected Darrell-Hicks' contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

    Darrell-Hicks will get his first call-up to the big leagues and will join the bullpen as a replacement for Caden Dana, who was optioned to Triple-A so that he could presumably continue to stay stretched out as a starter. A 27-year-old righty, Darrell-Hicks had given up two earned runs while striking out four over 4.1 innings for Salt Lake this season. He split time between Triple-A and Double-A Rocket City in 2024, logging a 2.60 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 69:13 K:BB over 62.1 innings.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Perfect relief appearance

    Cantillo struck out two over 2.1 scoreless and hitless innings in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Angels.

    Cantillo had his best outing of the season, retiring all seven batters he faced in a low-leverage situation. The 25-year-old left-hander, who was moved to the bullpen after losing out on a bid for the rotation, had allowed five runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks over his first three innings.

  • Guardians' Triston McKenzie: Has wayward command

    McKenzie allowed three runs on three hits, four walks and a wild pitch Saturday while striking out three over 1.2 innings in a 10-4 loss to the Angels.

    Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt hoped the right-hander could provide some length after starter Tanner Bibee was chased with none out in the fifth inning, but McKenzie did nothing to quiet the Angels. The Guardians have been waiting for the 27-year-old to rediscover his 2022 form (2.96 ERA as a starter), but to no avail. He was moved to the bullpen after a rocky Cactus League season in which he allowed 10 runs, 15 hits and eight walks over 13 innings.

  • Luke Jackson RP | SEA

    Rangers' Luke Jackson: Closes out another game

    Jackson allowed one hit across a scoreless ninth inning to record the save Saturday against the Rays.

    Jackson was called upon to maintain a two-run lead, and he did so comfortably. The only hit he allowed was an infield single with two outs, and he has now successfully converted five consecutive save chances. Jackson has also maintained a 5:2 K:BB across 5.1 frames on the season.

  • Mason Miller SP | SD

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Records another save

    Miller earned a save against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one scoreless inning.

    Miller had a relatively easy time preserving a three-run lead -- he gave up a one-out infield single but needed just 13 pitches to retire the side. The save was the second in as many days and third overall for the flamethrowing righty, who has yet to give up a run through four innings this season. He's been as dominant as ever with an 8:1 K:BB and just two hits allowed over that span.

  • Angels' Ryan Zeferjahn: Likely unavailable Saturday

    Zeferjahn (hamstring) is likely unavailable Saturday against the Guardians, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Zeferjahn was removed from Friday's game with the hamstring issue. The exact timeline for his return remains unclear, though the Angels' bullpen looks likely to be shorthanded again Saturday.

  • Sean Newcomb RP | CHW

    Red Sox's Sean Newcomb: Starting Game 1 on Sunday

    Newcomb is scheduled to start for Boston in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against St. Louis, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    Saturday's matchup was postponed due to inclement weather, and the two teams will consequently play a twin bill Sunday. Newcomb is scheduled to oppose Andre Pallante in the opener, and the Red Sox have yet to announce their starter for the nightcap. Newcomb struggled in his first start of the campaign, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four batters over four innings in a loss to Baltimore on March 31.
