Yimi Garcia RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Moves to 60-day IL
The Blue Jays transferred Garcia (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
The Blue Jays announced Friday that Garcia would require season-ending surgery to clean up scar tissue around his right elbow, so it was only a matter of time before he was shifted to the 60-day IL to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. The right-hander finished the 2025 campaign with a 3.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB over 21 innings. Garcia is owed $7.5 million for 2026 and is expected to be healthy for the start of spring training.

Bryse Wilson RP | CHW
White Sox's Bryse Wilson: Called up Sunday
The White Sox selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.
After Wilson produced a 6.65 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 27:19 K:BB in 45.1 innings over 19 appearances (five starts) in the majors, the White Sox pushed him off their 40-man roster June 10. He remained in the organization upon clearing waivers, and he's performed well as a swingman for Charlotte, netting a 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 36:8 K:BB in 39.2 innings over 14 appearances (seven starts). Assuming he isn't needed in relief Sunday, Wilson could slot into the rotation spot vacated by Aaron Civale, who had been scheduled to start Monday's game in Minnesota before he was claimed off waivers by the Cubs.

Hogan Harris RP | ATH
Athletics' Hogan Harris: Scoreless streak continues
Harris allowed a hit and no walks with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Rangers.
While the Athletics' pitching staff struggled in Saturday's loss, Harris turned in a clean outing when called upon in the fifth inning. The left-hander has pieced together a scoreless August, tossing 10 innings across eight outings, a sharp improvement on the 4.35 ERA and 1.65 WHIP he carried over 41.1 innings in 30 big-league appearances through July.

Tyler Holton RP | DET
Tigers' Tyler Holton: Takes loss in relief
Holton (5-4) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk in two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Saturday against the Royals.
Holton served up the key hit Saturday, a two-run home run by Bobby Witt in the bottom of the eighth inning that proved to be decisive in a 3-1 Kansas City victory. It wasn't a great matchup for the lefty reliever, as he has better numbers against same-handed hitters, and Witt crushes southpaws to the tune of a .934 OPS. Despite the setback, Holton still has a serviceable 3.84 ERA across 65.2 innings this season, and he remains part of Detroit's high-leverage crew.

Carlos Estevez RP | KC
Royals' Carlos Estevez: Records save No. 36
Estevez earned a save against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.
Estevez had a two-run lead to work with when he entered in the ninth, and he worked around a one-out double to keep Detroit off the scoreboard. The veteran righty extended his scoreless streak to seven appearances and has now registered 11 consecutive successful conversions since his last blown save. With 36 total saves on the campaign, Estevez ranks first in the majors and has surpassed his previous career-high mark of 31.

Kenley Jansen RP | DET
Angels' Kenley Jansen: Locks down 24th save
Jansen earned the save in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Astros, walking one a scoreless ninth inning.
The veteran closer was summoned to protect a three-run lead and worked around a leadoff walk to notch his 24th save of the season. The outing was another step toward Jansen's former self after he had given up four earned runs over his previous six appearances. Even with the few recent bumps, Jansen has still converted eight of his last nine save chances and looks to be getting back on track.

Camilo Doval RP | NYY
Yankees' Camilo Doval: Earns first save as a Yankee
Doval earned the save in Saturday's 5-3 win over the White Sox, allowing one unearned run in a hitless 11th inning.
Called upon in the 11th inning to protect a three-run lead, Doval worked around an RBI groundout by Will Robertson but faced the minimum amount of hitters to lock down his 16th save of the season, and his first since being acquired by New York. The outing was another encouraging step (his fourth straight appearance without an earned run allowed) for the right-hander, who entered Saturday with a 5.23 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and two blown saves in two chances since joining the Yankees.

Cade Smith P | CLE
Guardians' Cade Smith: Notches ninth save
Smith earned a save against the Mariners on Saturday, striking out three batters over 1.1 perfect innings.
Smith entered with two outs in the eighth inning and got Josh Naylor to ground out on two pitches. The right-handed hurler returned for the ninth and carved up Seattle's 4-5-6- hitters, striking out the side on 14 pitches. Smith seems to be rounding back into form following a rough three-game stretch during which he blew two saves and gave up four runs over 2.1 innings. Smith has subsequently gone 2-for-2 in save chances and picked up one win while giving up just one hit across three scoreless frames over three appearances.

Caleb Ferguson RP | CIN
Mariners' Caleb Ferguson: Rocky start to Mariners tenure
Ferguson allowed one run on two hits and one walk in the seventh inning Saturday against the Guardians. He struck out one.
Ferguson has now surrendered at least one run in four of his past six outings. The 29-year-old southpaw has certainly been inconsistent when called on from the Mariners' bullpen since joining the team in late July -- Ferguson has a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB through his first 12 innings for Seattle.

Gabe Speier RP | SEA
Mariners' Gabe Speier: Continues excellent August
Speier threw a clean eighth inning Saturday against the Guardians. He struck out one.
Speier's scoreless streak is now up to 5.1 innings, and he's given up just one run over 11 frames in the month of August. The 30-year-old left-hander has been an outstanding setup man in the Seattle bullpen for most of the year -- Speier owns a 2.20 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 34:6 K:BB across his last 28.2 frames (37 outings).
