    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Opening Monday's contest

    Holton will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher during Monday's game against the Padres.

    Holton has been an important member of Detroit's bullpen this season, posting a 2.44 ERA and 0.83 WHIP across 77.1 innings. Most of his appearances have lasted more than one inning, and he was able to reach three frames as recently as Aug. 17. Once the 28-year-old lefty exits Monday's contest, Ty Madden is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

  • Ian Hamilton RP | ATL

    Yankees' Ian Hamilton: Set for rehab outing Wednesday

    Hamilton (lat) tossed a bullpen session Sunday and will make a rehab appearance with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday, per the Associated Press.

    Hamilton was expected to pitch for Somerset on Friday, but he was scratched due to back spasms. The reliever is apparently past the issue given his ability to toss a bullpen Sunday. Wednesday's outing could be Hamilton's final minor-league appearance, and he could be back in New York's bullpen shortly thereafter.

  • Jhoan Duran RP | PHI

    Twins' Jhoan Duran: Secures save Sunday

    Duran picked up the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Blue Jays, striking out a batter in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Duran reeled off his second save of the weekend. He began his outing with a strikeout and navigated around a hit batter to pick up his 20th save of the season, his second consecutive campaign with at least 20 saves. Duran has now had to work around a batter on the bases in seven straight appearances but has only allowed an earned run one of those outings. For the year, the 26-year-old has a 3.60 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 50:13 K:BB in 45 innings.

  • Chad Green RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Chad Green: Takes loss Sunday

    Green (4-4) took the loss and blew a save Sunday against the Twins, allowing three runs on three hits while striking out a batter over one inning.

    Green entered with a 3-1 lead and blew his first save of the season. He retired the first batter he faced before allowing back-to-back singles and then surrendered a three-run homer to Royce Lewis to give the Twins their first lead of the game and eventually the win. Before Sunday's outing, Green was a perfect 16-for-16 in save opportunities, and he had gone five straight outings without giving up a run. The 33-year-old is still putting together one of the best seasons of his career, posting a 2.17 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB in 45.2 innings.

  • Rays' Manuel Rodriguez: Takes loss Sunday

    Rodriguez (3-4) allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk to take the loss Sunday against the Padres.

    Rodriguez entered the game with the score tied at 3-3 in the ninth inning. He allowed the first two batters he faced to reach base, which was enough to allow the Padres to scratch across the game-winning run. Rodriguez has recorded two of the five saves for the Rays since Pete Fairbanks (lat) went down but has also suffered two losses and given up three earned runs across 7.1 innings.

  • Anthony Gose RP | NYM

    Guardians' Anthony Gose: Re-ups with Cleveland

    Gose re-signed with the Guardians on a minor-league contract Saturday.

    Gose has now re-signed with the Guardians on two occasions within the past month after electing free agency when he was twice outrighted off Cleveland's 40-man roster. The 34-year-old could get another call-up at some point in September if the Guardians require another lefty in the bullpen, but even in that scenario, he's unlikely to maintain a 40-man roster spot heading into 2025.

  • Will Vest RP | DET

    Tigers' Will Vest: Earns hold Sunday

    Vest tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn a hold in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox. He struck out one.

    Vest continues to be a reliable bullpen option for the Tigers with a 3.05 ERA across 59 innings this season to go along with nine holds, which is second on the team. The veteran has four of those holds dating back to the beginning of August as well as his first and only save of the season on Aug. 11. Jason Foley and Tyler Holton are the top closing options in Detroit, though Vest has proven himself capable of handling high-leverage work.

  • Tim Herrin RP | CLE

    Guardians' Tim Herrin: Back in action Sunday

    Herrin (arm) struck out two and hit one batter in a scoreless and hitless inning during Sunday's 6-1 win over the Pirates.

    Herrin exited Saturday's appearance after being struck in the arm by a batted ball, but he's no worse for wear after returning to the mound a day later. He's pitched five of the last seven days, so he may still be due some standard rest in the coming days. Herrin has been effective while seeing time in some high-leverage spots with a 2.10 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB over 55.2 innings while adding 14 holds.

  • Ryan Miller RP | DET

    Angels' Ryan Miller: Grabs hold in return

    Miller (leg) allowed a hit and struck out two over a scoreless inning, earning his first hold in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

    Miller was hit in the left leg by a comebacker in Friday's game, but it appears he's no worse for wear after just a one-day absence. The 28-year-old has allowed one run and posted a 4:1 K:BB over his first 2.1 innings in the majors since his call-up Tuesday. He's likely to see mostly low-leverage work as long as he stays with the big club.

  • Ben Joyce RP | LAA

    Angels' Ben Joyce: Converts save Sunday

    Joyce allowed a hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

    Joyce's scoreless streak is up to seven innings over his last six appearances. In that span, he has three saves, a hold and a win while striking out eight and walking none. The flame-throwing right-hander is up to four saves and eight holds while pitching to a 2.14 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB through 33.2 innings in the majors this season.
