Foley got the save Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out one in two-thirds of an inning against Oakland.

Foley entered the game in the ninth after the first out was already recorded and immediately gave up a single, but he worked around to earn his 21st save. The 28-year-old has lowered his ERA to 2.92 following yet another scoreless outing. Foley has not allowed an earned run since July, going 17 straight appearances without an earned run.

Altavilla cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Triple-A Omaha.

The Royals dropped Altavilla from their 40-man roster immediately upon activating him from the 60-day IL on Thursday, but he'll remain within the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 31-year-old righty has allowed six runs in only 3.2 major-league innings this season, though he's been more effective in Triple-A, pitching to the tune of a 4.11 ERA through 35 frames.

Manager Alex Cora said that Jansen (lat) is available to pitch in Saturday's game against the White Sox, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Jansen was unavailable Friday due to a lat issue and missed out on a save opportunity. However, he's feeling well enough to suit up and pitch Saturday as needed. Jansen has 25 saves and a 3.70 ERA across 48.2 innings this season.

The Yankees outrighted Maciejewski to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday, per MLB.com.

Maciejewski was designated for assignment Sept. 1 but will remain with the organization. The lefty reliever has impressed through four games in the majors this season, posting a 7:2 K:BB while allowing two runs over seven innings. However, he's been much less effective in the minors, registering a 6.25 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 60:24 K:BB across 59 frames between Double-A and Triple-A.

The Red Sox recalled Campbell (elbow) from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday and placed him on the 60-day injured list, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for Trevor Story (shoulder), who's being activated from the 60-day IL on Saturday. Campbell hasn't pitched since July 13 and it's unclear if he'll be healthy before the regular season ends.

Wantz (elbow) recently had a setback , and it's not clear when (or if) he'll be able to pitch next season, per MLB.com.

When it was initially clarified that Wantz's season-ending surgery wasn't Tommy John, the expectation was that he'd be ready to take the mound again for spring training in 2025. However, he's since suffered a setback, casting uncertainty about his outlook moving forward. Wantz pitched in only one big-league game this season, allowing one run on one hit while striking out three batters over 1.1 innings June 30 against the Tigers.

Moore (forearm) hadn't yet resumed throwing as of Wednesday, per MLB.com.

Moore has been on the injured list since Aug. 27 due to a left forearm strain. The southpaw said this week that he hopes to return to game action before the end of the campaign but also indicated that he doesn't plan to take any risks that could impact his long-term availability. Given that the Angels are well out of playoff contention, it seems likely that they will be conservative in determining when (or if) he will return to game action this season.

Fulmer (elbow) has been playing light catch and is hoping to return to game action before the end of the season, per MLB.com.

Fulmer landed on the injured list Aug. 30 due to right elbow inflammation. He first noticed the issue during his Aug. 25 start but continued pitching, and he attempted to throw a bullpen session days later before the decision was made to put him on the IL. While the injury doesn't appear to be serious and there remains a chance of Fulmer returning to action this season, the Angels are unlikely to rush his recovery since they are well out of the playoff race.

Hanifee will serve as the Tigers' opener in Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Hanifee has posted an impressive 1.47 ERA and 0.98 WHIP through 18.1 innings in the majors this season, and he'll now be trusted to make his second career MLB start. He will likely be removed from the game after an inning or two, at which point Brant Hurter is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

Adams (forearm) came away from Friday's live batting practice feeling good and could soon embark on a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

Adams had also thrown a bullpen session Tuesday without any setbacks, so he seems to be making steady progress. If he makes it through the weekend without any residual effects from having faced hitters, Adams could head out to Triple-A Las Vegas early in the week to begin what would likely be a relatively brief rehab assignment.
