  • Gabe Speier RP | SEA

    Mariners' Gabe Speier: Returns to majors

    The Mariners recalled Speier from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    With Emerson Hancock heading down to Triple-A, Speier will return to the active roster, at least until the club makes room for Luis Castillo's (hamstring) return from the 15-day injured list. Speier has split his time fairly evenly between Triple-A and the majors this season, posting a 5.66 ERA and 1.35 WHIP in 26 relief appearances with the major-league team.

  • Yennier Cano RP | BAL

    Orioles' Yennier Cano: Takes loss Saturday

    Cano (4-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and struck out two in one inning, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Tigers on Saturday.

    Cano faltered in the 10th inning, allowing a run on a single and another on a sacrifice fly. He had not given up multiple runs in any appearance since June 25. The setup man now has a 2.84 ERA, though his 1.26 WHIP and 63:21 K:BB over 57 innings are not as strong. He's also collected five saves, three blown saves and 33 holds across 66 appearances this season.

  • Tyler Holton RP | DET

    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Slated to open Sunday's contest

    Holton will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    He'll pick up his ninth start of the season and his second of the series after previously covering one inning and giving up two earned runs in Friday's 7-1 loss. Before getting tagged for the two runs, Holton had turned in nine consecutive scoreless appearances and allowed just seven baserunners in 12.2 innings during that span. The Tigers will hope that Holton can get through an inning or two Sunday unscathed before he turns the game over to the bullpen. Ty Madden hasn't pitched since Sept. 14 and could be deployed in bulk relief behind Holton.

  • Beau Brieske RP | DET

    Tigers' Beau Brieske: Secures win Saturday

    Brieske (3-4) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Saturday against the Orioles. He walked one and struck out one.

    Brieske pitched the last two innings of the game, which went into extra innings, and he earned the win when the Tigers scored twice in the top of the 10th. The righty has been a versatile reliever for Detroit this season, often working as a opener and giving the team multiple innings. He has a 3.65 ERA and 65 strikeouts across 61.2 innings this year.

  • Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY

    Blue Jays' Ryan Yarbrough: Set for bulk-relief role

    Yarbrough is expected to serve as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Ryan Burr in Sunday's game against the Rays, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    The lefty hasn't made a start for Toronto since being acquired at the trade deadline July 30, but he should be ticketed for his third outing as a bulk reliever behind Burr. When Burr previously made one- and two-inning starts Aug. 22 against the Angels and Sept. 9 versus the Mets, respectively, Yarbrough followed him and covered five and 3.2 innings out of the bullpen. Yarbrough will be pitching on three days' rest Sunday after logging two scoreless innings out of the bullpen Wednesday against the Rangers.

  • Ryan Burr RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ryan Burr: Slated to open Sunday's contest

    Burr will serve as the Blue Jays' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Rays, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    He'll draw his third opener assignment of the season and his second of September. In his previous two starts, Burr covered one and two innings, so expect him to fall somewhere in that range again Sunday before he turns the game over to the bullpen. Ryan Yarbrough is expected to work in bulk relief behind Burr.

  • Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Earns two-inning save

    Rasmussen earned the save against the Blue Jays on Saturday, striking out three over two perfect innings.

    Rasmussen totaled 28 pitches over two innings and earned his first save since 2021. The 29-year-old has posted a 2.55 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB across 24.2 innings this season while working as an opener and reliever.

  • White Sox's Jordan Leasure: Activated, optioned to Triple-A

    The White Sox reinstated Leasure (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Leasure allowed three earned runs over 4.1 innings during his rehab assignment with Charlotte, and he will now remain in the minors despite being ostensibly recovered from his shoulder impingement. The 26-year-old carries a 6.32 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 31.1 innings in the majors this season and most likely won't make another appearance for the White Sox over the final eight games of the year.

  • Mike Soroka SP | ARI

    White Sox's Michael Soroka: Back from IL

    The White Sox reinstated Soroka (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

    Soroka has been on the injured list since mid-July due to a strained right shoulder, but he's been cleared to return to the Pale Hose after giving up three earned runs across nine innings during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. The 27-year-old has struggled in his first year with Chicago, posting a 5.23 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, but a lack of depth in the Chicago bullpen will keep him in a middle-relief role. Chad Kuhl was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Back in big leagues

    The Rangers recalled Garabito from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    Garabito was sent out to the minors Friday, but he will now return to the big club to replace Max Scherzer (hamstring), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Garabito holds a 4.88 ERA through 24 innings in the majors this year, though he's allowed eight earned runs over his last 6.1 frames and will most likely be limited to low-leverage work until he bounces back.
