  • Royals' Walter Pennington: Returned to Omaha

    The Royals returned Pennington to Triple-A Omaha following Wednesday's doubleheader against St. Louis.

    Pennington didn't pitch in either of Wednesday's games while serving as the Royals' 27th man. He's been a reliable option for Omaha, however, posting a 2.22 ERA and 0.96 WHIP alongside an 81:21 K:BB through 56.2 innings. Should Kansas City need to bring another fresh arm into its bullpen, the 26-year-old southpaw would be a likely candidate for promotion.

    Tigers' Jason Foley: Earns 15th save

    Foley earned a save in Wednesday's win over the Guardians, walking one and recording the final two outs in the ninth inning.

    Foley was summoned to protect a 5-4 lead with one out in the ninth inning and stranded a runner on third to secure his 15th save in 17 attempts. It was a gutsy effort, as he entered Wednesday having yielded four earned runs over his previous four appearances. On the season, the 28-year-old owns a 3.41 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB over 31.2 innings.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Earns 15th save

    Munoz earned a save against the Padres on Wednesday, walking two and striking out two over 1.1 scoreless innings.

    Munoz struck out Jurickson Profar with two outs in the eighth inning and worked around two walks in the ninth to secure his 15th save of the season. The righty has yielded just one earned run over his past 10 appearances and is 15-for-17 in save chances this season. He owns a 1.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB over 37.1 innings.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: MiLB outing pushed back again

    Garcia (elbow) didn't make a rehab appearance Wednesday with Triple-A Buffalo as planned due to neck stiffness, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Garcia's rehab appearance has now been pushed back twice due to the neck issue that popped up Tuesday. He threw a side session instead to make up for not getting into a game and is now slated to pitch for Buffalo on Thursday, barring any further setbacks.

  • Jhoan Duran RP | PHI

    Twins' Jhoan Duran: Nabs 14th save

    Duran picked up the save in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the White Sox, striking out a pair in a perfect ninth inning.

    Duran's held opponents scoreless in his last seven appearances, striking out seven while notching three saves in that span. Overall, the right-hander's ERA is down to 3.03 with a 0.98 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB across 29.2 innings this year.

  • Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Angels recalled Rosenberg from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

    Rosenberg has spent all season in the minors, where he's posted a 3.74 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 77 innings over 14 starts. Although he's served exclusively as a starter during his time in Salt Lake this year, he'll likely be moved to the bullpen upon joining the Angels. Davis Daniel was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move

  • Michael Kopech SP | LAD

    White Sox's Michael Kopech: Immaculate inning for ninth save

    Kopech earned the save in the opening game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Twins, striking out the side in a perfect ninth inning.

    Kopech struck out Brooks Lee, Matt Wallner and Max Kepler on nine pitches, recording an immaculate inning while securing his ninth save this season. The 28-year-old Kopech has turned in consecutive scoreless appearances after giving up six runs in his previous 2.2 innings. While he can be dominant, as illustrated Wednesday, Kopech has struggled to find consistency in the ninth inning for the White Sox this year. Overall, his ERA sits at 5.18 with a 1.43 WHIP and 55:23 K:BB across 40 innings.

  • Erik Swanson RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Erik Swanson: Could be recalled soon

    The Blue Jays are considering recalling Swanson from Triple-A Buffalo soon, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Swanson was pulled from his most recent appearance with Buffalo this past Thursday due to a heat-related illness, but he's expected to be fine. The reliever was dreadful in his first 12 appearances with Buffalo after being sent down May 28, posting a 15.30 ERA and 11:12 K:BB. However, he's turned in consecutive scoreless outings, and his improved form of late seems to have convinced the Blue Jays that he's ready to help out the big-league bullpen.

  • Matt Foster RP | CHW

    White Sox's Matt Foster: Rehab paused due to strained back

    Foster's (elbow) returned to Chicago on Wednesday after his rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte was paused due to a strained back, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Foster will be further examined in Chicago, but he doesn't appear to be dealing with a major setback, as the White Sox haven't ruled out sending him back out on his rehab assignment as soon as this weekend. The right-hander hasn't pitched in the majors since September 2022 after undergoing Tommy John surgery but could be a factor in the White Sox's bullpen in the second half.

  • Scott Barlow RP | ATH

    Guardians' Scott Barlow: Bounces back with third win

    Barlow (3-3) allowed a walk in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the extra-inning win Tuesday over the Tigers.

    Barlow was on the hook for the loss Monday, but he was better Tuesday as the Guardians evened the series at one game apiece. The right-hander's biggest problem this season has been with free passes -- he has a 5.3 BB/9 and a 1.35 WHIP. Barlow is still finding plenty of success with his slider and curveball, which collectively account for nearly 70 percent of his pitches. This is the second year in a row he's had significant struggles with his four-seam fastball, which opponents have batted .360 and slugged .520 against in 2024. With a 3.58 ERA and 17 holds, Barlow has yet to lose out on high-leverage looks, but all of Hunter Gaddis, Tim Herrin and Cade Smith have produced better results while seeing similar usage, though Barlow's 12.7 K/9 is tops on the team.
