  • Tyler Zuber RP | MIA

    Rays' Tyler Zuber: Recalled from Durham

    The Rays recalled Zuber from Triple-A Durham on Friday.

    Zuber pitched out of the Rays' bullpen Monday against the Yankees, allowing one run across 1.1 innings before being sent back down to Durham the next day. Across 18 outings in Triple-A this season, Zuber has a 2.49 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB across 21.2 innings.

  • Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Angels optioned Rosenberg to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

    Rosenberg yielded three homers and six runs Thursday during his first start of the season and was returned to Triple-A after the outing. Davis Daniel was called up in a corresponding move. Rosenberg owns a 3.74 ERA in 77.0 innings with Salt Lake this season.

  • Zach Pop RP | PHI

    Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Recalled from Buffalo

    The Blue Jays recalled Pop from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

    The trade of Yimi Garcia to the Mariners on Friday cleared a spot in the Blue Jays' bullpen, so Pop will come up from the minors to fill the opening. The 27-year-old righty owns a 5.90 ERA and 1.41 WHIP through 29 innings in the majors this season, and he'll likely be limited to middle relief while in Toronto. Jonatan Clase was optioned to Buffalo in a corresponding move.

  • Vinny Nittoli RP | BOS

    Orioles' Vinny Nittoli: Designated for assignment

    The Orioles designated Nittoli for assignment Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Nittoli will lose his spot on the Orioles' roster following the acquisition of Zach Eflin in a trade with Tampa Bay on Friday. The 33-year-old Nittoli has been a reliable option out of the bullpen this season, posting 1.50 ERA through 12 innings between the Athletics and Orioles, making it likely another team claims him off waivers.

  • Liam Hendriks RP | MIN

    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Completes bullpen session

    Hendricks (elbow) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Hendricks has been ramping up in July, but he has yet to mix in his full array of pitches during a bullpen session. Still, it's an encouraging sign for the 35-year-old in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. Hendricks could advance to facing live hitters soon before beginning a rehab assignment.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Mariners' Yimi Garcia: Headed to Seattle

    The Mariners acquired Garcia from the Blue Jays on Friday in exchange for outfielder Jonatan Clase and catcher Jacob Sharp, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Garcia has been one of the better relievers in baseball this season, posting a 2.70 ERA and 42:8 K:BB K:BB over 30 innings while recording five saves. He will be part of the late-inning picture in Seattle but will likely be behind Andres Munoz in the pecking order for saves.

  • Chris Martin RP | TEX

    Red Sox's Chris Martin: Resumes throwing program

    Martin (elbow) has resumed throwing and is playing catch, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports Friday.

    Martin's throwing program was paused July 13 due to discomfort in his right elbow, but he's beginning to ramp up again. The 38-year-old has been on the injured list since July 5 due to elbow inflammation and seems to be multiple weeks away from returning.

  • Blue Jays' Yerry Rodriguez: Summoned from minors

    The Blue Jays recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Rodriguez appeared in 12 games with the Rangers earlier this season, allowing 13 runs with a 12:11 K:BB over 17 innings. He figures to operate in low-leverage spots.

  • Ryan Burr RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ryan Burr: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Blue Jays optioned Burr to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    The Jays are swapping out relievers, replacing Burr with Yerry Rodriguez. Burr holds a 5.40 ERA and 9:4 K:BB over 10 innings at the big-league level this season.

  • Yennier Cano RP | BAL

    Orioles' Yennier Cano: Nabs fourth win

    Cano (4-2) struck out the only batter he faced and earned the extra-inning win Thursday over the Marlins.

    Cano was able to prevent the Marlins from walking it off in the ninth inning after an implosion from Craig Kimbrel. The Orioles then pulled ahead for good in the 10th, with Cano collecting his first win since May 24. The right-hander has an active six-inning scoreless streak, a span in which he has a 7:2 K:BB. For the year, the setup man has a 2.72 ERA despite a 1.31 WHIP and 40:19 K:BB over 39.2 innings, and he's added three saves, 24 holds and three blown saves.
