  • Casey Legumina RP | SEA

    Mariners' Casey Legumina: Back with Seattle

    The Mariners recalled Legumina from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

    Legumina has fired 5.2 shutout innings while striking out eight batters since being sent down to Triple-A in mid-August. He'll now return to Seattle to take on a middle-relief role and replace Jose Castillo, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Astros' Josh Hader: Yet to resume throwing

    Hader (shoulder) has yet to resume throwing, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Hader has yet to resume throwing since being shut down Aug. 15 due to a left shoulder capsule injury. The 31-year-old previously indicated that he'd need roughly three weeks to ramp up once cleared to throw. It's unclear when he'll start throwing at this point, but his postseason availability will be threatened if he doesn't begin soon.

  • Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Placed on injured list

    The Tigers placed Gipson-Long on the 15-day injured list Friday against Miami due to neck stiffness.

    Gipson-Long gave up seven runs in 2.1 innings in a start Thursday, and he'll now head to the injured list. Gipson-Long will be eligible for reinstatement Sept. 27, one day before the Tigers' final regular-season contest. Detroit activated Jose Urquidy (elbow) from the injured list in a corresponding move, but it's unclear who'll take Gipson-Long's spot in the rotation.

  • Beau Brieske RP | DET

    Tigers' Beau Brieske: Recalled, placed on 60-day IL

    The Tigers recalled Brieske (forearm) from Triple-A Toledo on Friday and placed him on the 60-day injured list.

    Brieske has already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2025 campaign due to a right forearm strain, so the Tigers will perform a bit of roster manipulation that will allow the team to give the 27-year-old's 40-man spot to the newly activated Jose Urquidy (elbow). Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck) was also placed on the 15-day IL as part of Friday's roster moves.

  • Jose Urquidy SP | DET

    Tigers' Jose Urquidy: Returns from injured list

    The Astros reinstated Urquidy (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Urquidy has spent the entire season working his way back from a Tommy John procedure he underwent last June. The 30-year-old righty began a rehab assignment in early August and has since turned in a 3.20 ERA and 0.86 WHIP across 19.2 innings between Single-A Lakeland and Triple-A Toledo. Now cleared to pitch in the majors for the first time since 2023, he will presumably work out of the bullpen for the final few weeks of the regular season and aim to return to the starting rotation in 2026. Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck) was placed on the 15-day IL to make room for Urquidy on the active roster, and Beau Brieske (forearm) landed on the 60-day IL to free up a spot on the 40-man roster.

  • Jordan Hicks RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Jordan Hicks: Could return later this month

    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that Hicks (shoulder) could return before the end of the season, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Hicks landed on the 15-day injured list one week ago with right shoulder tendinitis. It's unclear whether he has resumed a throwing program, but it seems he's progressed enough in his recovery that his manager believes Hicks can rejoin the bullpen later this month. Hicks holds an 8.20 ERA and 15:12 K:BB over 18.2 innings during his time with the Red Sox.

  • Justin Topa RP | MIN

    Twins' Justin Topa: On IL with oblique injury

    The Twins placed Topa on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a left oblique strain.

    Topa was removed from Sunday's game with left knee discomfort, but he'll head to the injured list Friday with a different ailment. The 34-year-old has been serving as a high-leverage arm since Jhoan Duran was dealt to the Phillies. He's blown two of his six save chances during that stretch and has allowed seven runs (six earned) across his last nine appearances. Cody Laweryson was brought up from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move. Cole Sands, Kody Funderburk and Michael Tonkin are candidates for save chances.

  • Cody Laweryson RP | LAA

    Twins' Cody Laweryson: Joins big-league roster

    The Twins selected Laweryson's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

    Laweryson's next appearance with the Twins will be his MLB debut. The 27-year-old right-hander has logged 44 innings of work between Double-A and Triple-A this season, posting a 2.86 ERA and 9.2 K/9. Laweryson will likely slot into Minnesota's bullpen in middle relief.

  • Red Sox's Brennan Bernardino: Hits IL

    The Red Sox placed Bernardino on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 10, due to a left lat strain, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Bernardino hadn't pitched since Sept. 6. He'll be eligible to return Sept. 25 -- four days before the Red Sox's regular-season finale -- but with Boston on track for postseason play, he could be given more time to recover. Chris Murphy was recalled from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move.

  • Chris Murphy RP | CHW

    Red Sox's Chris Murphy: Rejoins big-league bullpen

    The Red Sox recalled Murphy from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

    Murphy was just optioned Wednesday but is eligible to be recalled since he's replacing an injured player in Brennan Bernardino (lat). He'll give manager Alex Cora a left-handed relief option.
