Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE
Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Saves in four straight days
Clase earned the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Cubs, working around one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.
Clase now has four saves in four consecutive days. The right-hander's converted his last 24 save chances, allowing just three earned runs over 33 innings in that span. Overall, Clase's up to a league-leading 37 saves with a pristine 0.64 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 49:7 K:BB across 56.1 frames. He figures to almost certainly have the day off Wednesday, should a fifth straight save opportunity arise.

Beau Brieske RP | DET
Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opening Wednesday's game
Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Brieske turned in a strong outing when he worked as an opener in Friday's game against the Giants, striking out five batters over three scoreless innings in what matched his longest appearance of the season. He may be asked to handle a similar workload against Seattle before handing the game over to the bullpen. Bryan Sammons is available out of the bullpen on five days' rest and could be an option to serve as a bulk reliever behind Brieske.

Jordan Leasure P | CHW
White Sox's Jordan Leasure: Will start throwing Thursday
Leasure (shoulder) will begin a throwing program Thursday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Leasure landed on the injured list July 20 due to a right shoulder impingement, but he has finally been given the green light to begin throwing again. The White Sox haven't specified a target date for the 25-year-old to return to their bullpen, though as a reliever, it shouldn't take too long for him to build back up.

Mike Soroka SP | ARI
White Sox's Michael Soroka: Throws off mound
Soroka (shoulder) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Soroka only threw fastballs during his first session of mound work, but he seems to be trending in the right direction since a right shoulder strain sent him to the IL in mid-July. However, there is still no telling how far away he is from a return to Chicago's bullpen.

Kenny Rosenberg RP | LAA
Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Recalled from Salt Lake
The Angels recalled Rosenberg from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Since being optioned to the minors July 26, Rosenberg has allowed nine earned runs in just seven innings. Despite his poor performance, he'll now rejoin the Angels and presumably serve as a long-relief option. Davis Daniel was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Liam Hendriks RP | MIN
Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Tossing another live BP
Hendriks (elbow) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Wednesday and the Red Sox will discuss next steps following the session, with a rehab assignment the likeliest outcome, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Manager Alex Cora didn't commit to sending Hendriks on a minor-league rehab assignment but indicated that it will probably be the next step in Hendriks' recovery from Tommy John surgery. Hendriks hasn't pitched in a game since June 10, 2023 and will likely need several appearances in the minors before being activated.

Brendan White RP | DET
Tigers' Brendan White: Recalled, placed on 60-day IL
The Tigers recalled White from Double-A Erie on Tuesday and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a right elbow strain.
The transaction clears a spot on Detroit's 40-man roster for Kerry Carpenter, who came off the 60-day injured list Tuesday. White has been limited to just 7.1 innings this season because of elbow issues and hasn't pitched in nearly two months. He is being tested for a potential radial nerve injury, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.

The Guardians optioned Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
He's clearing out to make room for Tuesday's starter, Matthew Boyd. Strzelecki has permitted three runs with a 9:3 K:BB over 11.2 relief innings for the Guardians this season.
