The Rangers recalled Anderson from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Anderson will return to the Rangers to give the team extra bullpen depth as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees. The 27-year-old owns an 8.53 ERA and 1.63 WHIP through 19 frames in the big leagues, but he has allowed just two runs (both unearned) in eight Triple-A innings since being optioned to the minors in early July.

Rasmussen is slated to serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

After returning from the 60-day injured list Wednesday upon completing his recovery from the internal brace procedure he underwent last July, Rasmussen was summoned from the bullpen later that evening and was electric in his 2024 MLB debut, striking out three Cardinals batters over two perfect innings. Though the Rays intend to have Rasmussen slot back into the rotation in 2025, he's expected to be limited mostly to 1-to-2-inning appearances coming out of the bullpen for the rest of the current season. Though he's technically starting Saturday, Rasmussen is unlikely to work more than once through the batting order before turning the game over to lefty Tyler Alexander, who is expected to operate as a bulk reliever.

Brieske allowed one walk and struck out five over three scoreless and hitless innings while taking a no-decision Friday in the Tigers' 3-2 loss to the Giants.

Brieske made his third start of the season and matched his longest outing. He threw 31 of 49 pitches for strikes in the impressive turn as an opener, though it doesn't appear he has a path to the rotation at this time. He last functioned primarily as a starter in 2022 and has worked out of the bullpen for 24 of his 27 appearances in 2024. For the season, Brieske has a 4.57 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB over 41.1 innings.

Thielbar threw two perfect innings while striking out two in Friday's 6-3 win over the Guardians.

Thielbar struggled to start the season with a 8.04 ERA and 5.2 BB/9 in his first 15.2 innings. However, he's turned his season around since June 12 with a 2.81 ERA and 19:5 K:BB over his last 16 innings. He had seemingly lost the ability to control his looping curveball early in the season, but has gotten back to peak form. He could play a key role in high-leverage spots for the Twins as the top southpaw in the bullpen, and he's picked up two of his eight holds on the year in his last three appearances.

Manager Matt Quatraro said Friday that Harvey has been dealing with back tightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Harvey picked up his first save of the season Sunday against the Tigers, but his back issues have prevented him from pitching since then. The Royals skipper didn't give any indication that the 29-year-old reliever will need to spend time on the injured list, but there is also no telling when he'll be available out of the bullpen again.

Winckowski will start Saturday's game against the Astros, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Cooper Criswell (illness) landed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday and Nick Pivetta is having his turn in the rotation skipped, so Winckowski will step into the rotation for his first start since July 6. In nine appearances since moving to the bullpen, the 26-year-old right-hander hasn't worked more than 2.2 innings in any appearance and has allowed five earned runs while striking out five batters and walking six over 10.2 total frames. He'll be taking the hill Saturday on just two days' rest, so he'll likely be limited from a workload perspective and could end up being deployed in tandem with Brad Keller, who had been starting for Triple-A Worcester before being recalled Friday.

Richards earned the save during a 6-3 win over the Guardians in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. He struck out one in a perfect ninth inning.

After Jhoan Duran earned the save in the first game of the doubleheader, Richards got the call in the nightcap, setting down Cleveland in order to earn his first save of the year. It's a nice bounce-back effort from Richards, who allowed three runs while issuing five walks in just two-thirds of an inning in his last appearance. Overall, the 31-year-old Richards sports a 4.82 ERA with a 1.18 WHIP and 53:29 K:BB across 56 innings between the Twins and Blue Jays this year.

Green threw a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-1 win over the Athletics.

Green got the job done on only 11 pitches (six strikes). The 33-year-old continues to shine in the closer's role, securing all 11 of his save chances to go along with a 1.67 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB across 37.2 innings this season.

Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opener for Friday's contest against the Giants, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Brieske will technically be making his third start of the season Friday. He got roughed up in his last assignment as an opener against the Guardians on July 29, taking the loss while allowing three runs on five hits and striking out one batter across 0.2 frames. Both Brant Hurter and Kenta Maeda are options to serve in bulk relief once Brieske is done for the evening.

Schreiber (knee) threw a bullpen session Thursday and is scheduled to throw off a mound again Sunday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Schreiber has been progressing well from a right knee patella tendon injury he sustained in late July. While he's feeling good from a pitching standpoint, he'll need to do more fielding work before the next step in his rehab is determined. Prior to the injury, Schreiber tallied a 4.14 ERA across 37.0 innings out of the bullpen.
