  • Reid Detmers SP | LAA

    Angels' Reid Detmers: Lands on IL

    The Angels placed Detmers on the 15-day injured list Thursday with left elbow inflammation.

    Detmers had to depart Wednesday's game against the Twins due to the injury after not liking how the ball was coming out of his hand. The injury may end the southpaw's campaign as he won't be eligible to return until the final series of the season. In a corresponding move, the Angels recalled Chase Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake.

    Angels' Chase Silseth: Recalled back up

    The Angels recalled Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

    The moves comes as the Angels place Reid Detmers (elbow) on the 15-day injured list. Silseth appeared in one game for Triple-A Salt Lake after his demotion Sunday, in which he allowed no runs on two hits in one inning.

  • Keegan Akin RP | BAL

    Orioles' Keegan Akin: Picks up fifth save

    Akin earned the save in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Pirates, allowing one hit while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Akin is up to five saves this season, with two coming since the start of September. The left-hander has pitched well of late, working to a 1.88 ERA in his last 12 appearances (14.1 innings). Akin and Yennier Cano should continue to share closing duties down the stretch. Through 57.1 innings this season, Akin sports a 3.14 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP and 54 strikeouts.

  • Drew Sommers P | DET

    Tigers' Drew Sommers: Back in Toledo

    The Tigers optioned Sommers to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    The 25-year-old lefty joined the big-league bullpen Tuesday when Bailey Horn went on the paternity list and will now head back to the minors following the latter's return. Sommers has given up six earned runs in just three MLB innings this year, but he's put himself in a position to audition for next year's Opening Day bullpen by turning in a 3.03 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through 35.2 frames in Triple-A.

  • Bailey Horn P | DET

    Tigers' Bailey Horn: Rejoins team

    The Tigers reinstated Horn from the paternity list Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Horn will reclaim a middle-relief role in the Tigers' bullpen after spending two days away from the team for the birth of his child. Drew Sommers was sent back to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.

  • Joey Gerber RP | NYM

    Rays' Joey Gerber: Summoned from minors

    The Rays recalled Gerber from Triple-A Durham on Thursday.

    Gerber was added to the 40-man roster in July, but this will be his first stint in the big leagues since 2020. The 28-year-old has collected a 6.23 ERA with Durham this season, but that has come with an impressive 54:15 K:BB over 43.1 innings.

  • Eric Orze RP | MIN

    Rays' Eric Orze: Back up with big club

    The Rays recalled Orze from Triple-A Durham on Thursday.

    Orze has spent the last two months in the minors despite holding a 2.72 ERA and 38:15 K:BB over 39.2 innings for the Rays this season. He'll give manager Kevin Cash a fresh relief arm after a bullpen game Wednesday.

  • Joe Rock P | TB

    Rays' Joe Rock: Sent back to minors

    The Rays optioned Rock to Triple-A Durham on Thursday.

    Rock covered 2.2 scoreless innings Wednesday against the White Sox, and his reward is a trip back to the minors. The Rays have summoned Eric Orze and Joey Gerber to supplement their bullpen.

  • Rays' Mason Montgomery: Optioned after poor relief outing

    The Rays optioned Montgomery to Triple-A Durham on Thursday.

    Montgomery was dinged for five runs while recording just two outs in Wednesday's loss to the White Sox, and he finds himself back in the minors a day later. The Rays are adding a couple fresh relief arms after a bullpen game Wednesday.

  • Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Handling bulk role Thursday

    Gipson-Long is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Tyler Holton in Thursday's game against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Gipson-Long filled a starting role last week following his promotion from Triple-A Toledo, but he didn't impress in his outing against the Mets, taking a loss while allowing six earned runs on five hits and two walks over four innings. The Tigers will keep Gipson-Long in the rotation for another turn, but the team will hope to get better results from him by using him out of the bullpen. Holton is likely to work just one or two innings before giving way to Gipson-Long, who should cover multiple frames.
