  • Jason Foley RP | SF

    Tigers' Jason Foley: Earns 13th save

    Foley struck out one over 1.1 innings to earn the save in a 2-1 win over the White Sox on Friday.

    Foley was summoned to protect a 2-1 lead with two outs in the eighth inning and induced a groundout from Andrew Vaughn. He hit Paul DeJong with a pitch in the ninth but ended the game with a double play to earn his 13th save of the season. Foley has not allowed an earned run in seven June appearances and is now 13-for-15 in save chances with a 2.67 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB over 27 innings in 2024.

  • Astros' Kendall Graveman: Slight chance at 2024 return

    Graveman (shoulder) is in the middle of a throwing program and has a chance of returning in September, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Graveman underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum and clean up his rotator cuff in January and was expected to miss the entirety of the 2024 campaign. However, he's been participating in a throwing program and hasn't ruled out a return late in the regular season. Graveman has plenty of steps to complete before reaching that point, however.

  • Hans Crouse SP | BAL

    Angels' Hans Crouse: Brought up to majors

    The Angels selected Crouse's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

    Crouse inked a minor-league contract with the Angels in February and after earning a 2.70 ERA with a 42:7 K:BB across 23.1 innings at Salt Lake, he'll get a much-deserved look in the big leagues. Crouse hasn't appeared in an MLB game since 2021 with Philadelphia.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Scheduled for bullpen session

    Santos (lat) is set to throw a live bullpen session in Miami on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Santos continues to ramp up his activity level as he recovers from a right lat strain that he's been dealing with since February. Saturday's session will mark the first time the right-hander will face live batters, and he's inching closer to a rehab assignment. Santos appeared in 60 games with the White Sox last season, posting a 3.39 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 66:17 K:BB over 66.1 frames.

  • Alex Faedo SP | TB

    Tigers' Alex Faedo: Making second rehab appearance

    Faedo (hip) is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Faedo threw a scoreless inning Wednesday in his first rehab outing and is in line to pitch again Saturday in what could be his final appearance with Toledo. Faedo owns a 3.38 ERA, six holds and a 3-1 record across 34.2 innings with the Tigers.

  • Luis Contreras RP | HOU

    Astros' Luis Contreras: Sent back to Triple-A

    Contreras was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.

    Contreras' demotion is part of a flurry of roster moves made by the Astros on Friday, as the team needed his 26-man roster spot for Jake Bloss. Contreras didn't appear in a game with Houston after being called up June 16.

  • Yankees' Yoendrys Gomez: Back in bullpen

    The Yankees recalled Gomez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

    Gomez fanned the side in his lone appearance with the Yankees earlier this season. He's been used as a starter in the minors but figures to settle in as a long reliever in the majors this time around.

  • Phil Bickford RP | DET

    Yankees' Phil Bickford: Contract selected

    The Yankees selected Bickford's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

    Bickford inked a minor-league deal with the Yankees back in April and has received a call-up to the big club after holding a 2.93 ERA and 35:12 K:BB across 27.2 frames with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He'll work the middle innings for the Yankees.

  • Yankees' Victor Gonzalez: Jettisoned from 40-man roster

    The Yankees designated Gonzalez for assignment Friday.

    Gonzalez was acquired via trade from the Dodgers over the offseason and didn't pitch well in pinstripes, holding a 3.86 ERA but an ugly 11:13 K:BB over 23.1 innings. The 28-year-old had a career 3.22 ERA and 86:31 K:BB in 89.1 innings coming into 2024, so there could be interest by way of waivers or trade.

  • Vinny Nittoli RP | BOS

    Athletics' Vinny Nittoli: First loss despite solid outing

    Nittoli (0-1) took the loss against the Royals on Thursday, allowing an earned run on a solo home run and recording two strikeouts over two innings.

    Nittoli paid dearly for his one mistake, a tie-breaking solo home run surrendered to Bobby Witt in the eighth inning. The Athletics would prove incapable of erasing the one-run deficit in the final two frames, saddling Nittoli with his first major-league loss in 13 career outings. Despite the stumble Thursday, Nittoli has been a solid bullpen piece for manager Mark Kotsay since being summoned from Triple-A Las Vegas in early June, posting a 2.25 ERA across eight innings over seven appearances.
