  • Danny Coulombe RP | TEX

    Orioles' Danny Coulombe: Back from 60-day IL

    The Orioles activated Coulombe (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Coulombe had surgery in mid-June to remove bone chips from his pitching elbow, but he's made it back in time to get in a few appearances down the stretch of the regular season. The lefty was dynamite earlier this season before getting hurt, posting a 2.42 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB over 26 innings.

  • Tyler Holton RP | DET

    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Making start Friday

    Holton will start Friday's game against the Orioles.

    Holton will make his eighth start of the season Friday for Detroit as he continues to serve as an occasional opener. The left-hander has worked his way into the closing mix with eight saves this season, but Jason Foley should get the save chance if Detroit has a lead in the ninth inning Friday. Holton has a 2.12 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 70:15 K:BB across 89 innings this year.

  • Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Rangers optioned Garabito to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

    Garabito has allowed eight runs over seven innings out of the Rangers' bullpen this month. His roster spot is being filled by Dane Dunning.

  • Yankees' Ron Marinaccio: Designated for assignment

    The Yankees designated Marinaccio for assignment Friday.

    Marinaccio has collected a 3.86 ERA and 25:10 K:BB over 23.1 innings during his time with the Yankees this season. A career 12.6 percent walk rate is scary, but the 29-year-old also has a career 28.3 percent strikeout rate and is under team control for multiple seasons. He figures to draw interest via trade or waivers.

  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Astros' Josh Hader: Records 32nd save

    Hader picked up the save in a win over the Angels on Thursday, striking out one over a perfect ninth inning.

    Hader entered the contest with a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth and fanned Logan O'Hoppe on three sliders before needing just four pitches to retire the final two batters. It was the southpaw's 32nd save of the campaign and he's now recorded at least one strikeout in six consecutive appearances. It was also a nice bounce-back performance for Hader after being charged with his third blown save of the campaign in his previous outing. He now carries a 2.57 ERA in September to go along with a 9:2 K:BB and three saves.

  • Jose Suarez SP | ATL

    Angels' Jose Suarez: Solid over five frames

    Suarez did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Astros on Thursday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

    Suarez allowed just two walks and a single over the first three frames before Yainer Diaz reached on a fielding error to open the fourth. The veteran lefty would then see a run come home after surrendering back-to-back singles, but he was able to retire the next six batters in succession to complete five innings for the first time on the campaign. Suarez looked solid in his second start this season and he's now recorded five strikeouts in back-to-back appearances. He'll look to secure his second win of the season next week when the Angels travel to Chicago to take on the White Sox.

  • Elijah Morgan RP | CHC

    Guardians' Eli Morgan: Grabs third win

    Morgan (3-0) walked one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the extra-inning win over the Twins on Thursday.

    Morgan has quietly been reliable late in the year with a 13-inning scoreless streak over his last nine appearances. He has a 12:4 K:BB in that span. Morgan's been lost in the shuffle for an excellent Cleveland bullpen, but he's done his part in a multi-inning role with a 1.64 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB while adding just one hold over 38.1 innings this season.

  • Gregory Soto RP | PIT

    Orioles' Gregory Soto: Nabs win Thursday

    Soto (3-5) didn't allow a baserunner or a run over two-thirds of an inning, earning the win over the Giants on Thursday.

    Seranthony Dominguez allowed the tying run to score in the top of the ninth inning, but Soto got Mark Canha to ground into a double play to keep the game tied at 3-3. In the bottom of the frame, Anthony Santander lifted the Orioles to a 5-3 win with a walk-off home run. Soto's Baltimore tenure started poorly, but he's since allowed just three runs (two earned) over his last 13.2 innings, posting a 17:3 K:BB in that span. Overall, he has a 4.65 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 62:26 K:BB over 50.1 innings between the Orioles and the Phillies.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Strikes out side for 22nd save

    Munoz didn't allow a baserunner and struck out the side in the ninth inning to earn the save Thursday against the Yankees.

    Munoz needed 14 pitches to strike out the side and collect his 22nd save. He's allowed just one total baserunner over his last five appearances, collecting one win, three saves and seven strikeouts over five innings during that stretch.

  • Rays' Garrett Cleavinger: Notches save Thursday

    Cleavinger earned a save against the Red Sox on Thursday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning of work.

    Cleavinger threw 15 of 19 pitches for strikes and recorded multiple punchouts for the first time since Aug. 14. The save was his second of September and his sixth overall this season. The last three Rays saves have been claimed by three different relievers, so it's clear that the team prefers a committee approach to the closer role.
