  • Mason Miller SP | SD

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Loses against Texas

    Miller (1-2) allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits and a walk over 1.2 innings Sunday, striking out one and taking a loss against the Rangers.

    Miller threw a scoreless ninth inning and recorded two outs to begin the 10th before falling apart. He gave up an RBI single to Adolis Garcia before Josh Jung ripped a three-run, walk-off homer. Miller had thrown 12.1 straight scoreless frames through most of July and August but has been tagged with five earned runs over his last three appearances. He's now sporting a 2.52 ERA with an 87:19 K:BB and 23 saves through 53.2 innings.

  • Jose Urena SP | LAA

    Rangers' Jose Urena: Works in bulk relief Sunday

    Urena gave up one run on eight hits and one walk while striking out two across 4.2 innings of relief in Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Athletics.

    For the sixth appearance in a row, Urena covered at least four innings, with each of the latter three outings coming out of the bullpen. With Walter Pennington serving as the Rangers' opening pitcher and recording the first five outs, Urena came on to spell him as a bulk reliever. Urena was on track for a win after departing with a 2-1 lead following the sixth inning, but the Athletics rallied for the tying run in the top of the eighth to deny him the victory.

  • Owen White RP | CHW

    Rangers' Owen White: Summoned to big leagues

    The Rangers recalled White from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Athletics.

    The right-hander is likely to fill a low-leverage role out of the Texas bullpen over the final four weeks of the season. White previously made a pair of relief appearances for the Rangers back in May, giving up six earned runs on six hits and one walk while retiring only three batters.

  • Diego Castillo RP | COL

    Twins' Diego Castillo: Moves up to majors

    The Twins selected Castillo's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

    Castillo had previously given up just two earned runs over seven innings over five appearances out of the Minnesota bullpen earlier this season, but the shiny 2.57 ERA came with an ugly 1.71 WHIP and 3:7 K:BB. He was bumped off the Twins' 40-man roster in June before he elected free agency, only to re-sign with the organization on a minor-league deal in early July. Castillo has continued to show spotty control at St. Paul this season (21 walks in 32.1 innings), so the Twins are unlikely to turn to him for high-leverage work during his latest stint in the big leagues.

  • Eduard Bazardo RP | SEA

    Mariners' Eduard Bazardo: Returns to majors

    The Mariners recalled Bazardo from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels. He tossed a perfect inning of relief, striking out two of the three batters he faced.

    Bazardo's appearance Sunday was his 14th of the season for Seattle but his first since July 11, as he had largely toiled away with Tacoma since the All-Star break. He's shown the ability to miss bats between his stops in the majors and Triple-A this season, but an elevated walk rate could prevent him from taking hold of a high-leverage role in the Seattle bullpen down the stretch.

  • Jhonathan Diaz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Jhonathan Diaz: Moves up from Triple-A

    The Mariners recalled Diaz from Triple-A Tacoma prior to Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

    Diaz had started in all but one of his 24 appearances for Tacoma this season, logging a 4.73 ERA and 120:54 K:BB in 118 innings. With all five of the Mariners' starting pitchers healthy at the moment and new manager Dan Wilson having yet to express a desire to move to a six-man rotation, Diaz looks like he'll serve as a long-relief option for now.

  • Jason Foley RP | SF

    Tigers' Jason Foley: Collects 20th save

    Foley earned the save Sunday, striking out one during a perfect ninth inning against the Red Sox.

    Foley needed just seven pitches to close the door on his 20th save. The Detroit closer began September in the same manner as he ended August as he holds a 0.00 ERA and 0.50 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over 12 innings since the end of July.

  • Dillon Tate RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Dillon Tate: Scooped up by Toronto

    The Blue Jays claimed Tate off waivers from the Orioles and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

    Toronto designated right-hander Paolo Espino for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for Tate, who had made 186 relief appearances for the Orioles over parts of five of the last six seasons. He had been a trusted setup option for Baltimore from 2020 through 2022, but after spending the entire 2023 campaign on the injured list while recovering from a flexor strain, Tate has struggled to bounce back in 2024. He turned in a 4.59 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 33.1 innings with the Orioles before being designated for assignment last week.

  • Jacob Webb RP | CHC

    Orioles' Jacob Webb: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Webb (elbow) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Webb, who has been on the 15-day injured list since Aug. 7 with right elbow inflammation, will likely require at least another rehab appearance after Sunday before the Orioles would feel comfortable activating him. The right-hander has been a key late-inning arm for Baltimore in 2024, notching one win, two saves and 12 holds while compiling a 3.08 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 49.2 frames.

  • Astros' Forrest Whitley: Up with big club

    The Astros recalled Whitley from Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

    Whitley will receive his first look in the majors since mid-April, when he allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning during his MLB debut. The right-hander has been an effective bullpen piece at Sugar Land this season with a 2.17 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 40:9 K:BB across 29 innings.
