  • Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Back up with big club

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

    Garabito was optioned to Triple-A on Saturday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Rangers one day later after Jose Urena (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 29-year-old right-hander will join righty Jack Leiter as a multi-inning option out of the Texas bullpen.

  • Jose Urena SP | LAA

    Rangers' Jose Urena: Hits IL with shoulder issue

    The Rangers placed Urena on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right shoulder fatigue.

    Urena will be eligible for activation Sept. 29, but since the Rangers will wrap up their regular season that day, he'll most likely be shelved for the remainder of 2024. The right-hander served as an occasional rotation fill-in and long-relief option this season, making 33 appearances (nine starts) and providing a 3.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 70:39 K:BB across 109 innings. Urena is scheduled to become a free agent this winter.

  • Jason Foley RP | SF

    Tigers' Jason Foley: Locks down 23rd save

    Foley earned the save Sunday, striking out two over 1.1 perfect innings against the Orioles.

    Foley was called upon to finish out the eighth inning after an Adley Rutschman homer brought the Orioles to within one. He struck out Coby Mayo, then retired the side in the ninth to finish off his 23rd save of the season. It was a nice rebound effort for Foley, who had allowed two runs in his last appearance, the first time he had allowed an earned run since the end of July.

  • Ben Joyce RP | LAA

    Angels' Ben Joyce: Done for season

    Angels manager Ron Washington confirmed Sunday that Joyce (shoulder) won't return from the 15-day injured list this season, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Joyce's placement on the IL is retroactive to Sept. 7, but the Angels won't rush him back for the final week of the season even though an MRI on his right shoulder returned clean. The hard-throwing right-hander has been diagnosed with an impingement in his right shoulder, but he should be in store for a normal offseason. Barring any high-profile additions to the bullpen this winter, Joyce will likely head into spring training as the favorite to open the 2025 campaign as the Angels' closer. After getting called up from the minors in early June, Joyce produced a 2.08 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB over 34.2 innings while collecting two wins and eight holds and going 4-for-4 in save opportunities.

  • Jose Suarez SP | ATL

    Angels' Jose Suarez: Shifting to rotation

    Suarez will move into the Angels' starting rotation after Sam Aldegheri (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    The left-hander had his contract selected by the Angels on Sept. 9 and had made two appearances out of the bullpen. He's on the same pitching schedule as Aldegheri, as Suarez struck out five over four scoreless innings of relief in Friday's loss to Houston after the former lasted just two innings. Suarez owns a 6.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 46:23 K:BB in 42.1 innings over 20 appearances (one start) with the big club this season.

  • Carson Fulmer RP | LAA

    Angels' Carson Fulmer: Activated, heading to bullpen

    The Angels reinstated Fulmer (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Sunday, and he'll shift to a relief role, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    The right-hander was operating as a starter when he landed on the IL with elbow inflammation in late August, but he'll shift to a relief role now that he's recovered from the injury. Fulmer is returning to the active roster without a rehab assignment, so the move to relief is likely allowing him to more quickly rejoin the Angels.

  • Chris Martin RP | TEX

    Red Sox's Chris Martin: Moves past illness

    Martin (illness) made relief appearances Wednesday against the Orioles and Thursday against the Yankees, tossing a pair of scoreless innings and striking out three batters while giving up one hit and no walks.

    Martin appeared out of the bullpen just once in the first week of September before manager Alex Cora disclosed last Sunday that the reliever was battling an illness. Cora's decision to use Martin on consecutive days would seem to imply that the right-hander is now feeling back to full strength after the bout with the ailment.

  • Ryan Pressly RP | CHC

    Astros' Ryan Pressly: Earns fourth save

    Pressly pitched 1.2 scoreless innings while allowing two hits to earn the save Saturday against the Angels.

    Pressly entered the game with the bases loaded and one out in the eighth inning. He allowed a single to the first batter he faced but still managed to escape the frame with a one-run lead. The ninth inning was less adventurous for Pressly, and he picked up his fourth save. Josh Hader had pitched three times in the last four games and in back-to-back contests, leaving him unavailable Saturday.

  • Jacob Webb RP | CHC

    Orioles' Jacob Webb: Returns from IL

    The Orioles reinstated Webb (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

    Webb will rejoin the Baltimore bullpen for the first time since early August after completing his recovery from right elbow inflammation. Prior to being activated, Webb made four rehab appearances between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk, tossing 3.1 innings while allowing four earned runs on five hits and two walks. He'll likely serve as a lower-leverage or middle-relief option for the Orioles.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Secures third win Saturday

    Munoz (3-6) got the win against the Rangers on Saturday, firing a perfect ninth inning.

    Munoz was called on to protect a 4-4 tie in the ninth inning and delivered by retiring Josh Jung, Ezequiel Duran and Carson Kelly on 11 pitches. The right-hander was then afforded his first victory since way back on May 5 via Randy Arozarena's game-winning single in the home half of the frame, putting a fitting bow on Munoz's third straight scoreless relief appearance. The Mariners' closer is enjoying a strong fantasy season overall, recording a career-high 21 saves to go along with six holds, a 2.10 ERA, an 0.95 WHIP and an 11.5 K/9 across 55.2 innings.
