  • Bailey Horn P | DET

    White Sox's Bailey Horn: Removed from 40-man roster

    Horn was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Horn has been knocked around this season at Triple-A Charlotte, posting an 11.32 ERA and 15:10 K:BB over 10.1 frames. He was acquired via trade from the Cubs over the offseason.

  • Griffin Jax RP | TB

    Twins' Griffin Jax: Secures fourth save

    Jax earned the save Thursday against the White Sox, striking out one over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.

    Jax entered the game with one out and the bases loaded to protect a four-run lead in the top of the ninth inning, and he got Eloy Jimenez to go down swinging before Robbie Grossman reached on a fielding error, bringing home a run. Jax's next pitch coaxed a groundout from Andrew Vaughn to secure his fourth save of the season. The right-hander has not allowed a run in any of his last four appearances and has held his opponents hitless in each of his last three, striking out four over that stretch while not issuing any walks. However, Jax's stint as closer is likely about to end with Jhoan Duran (oblique) on a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul and poised to make his 2024 debut within the next week or so.

  • Mason Miller SP | SD

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Keeps rolling with another save

    Miller notched a save against the Yankees on Thursday, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings during which he allowed one hit and struck out three batters.

    Miller continues to flourish in the closer role -- he's a perfect six-for-six in save opportunities so far and hasn't given up a run since his first outing of the campaign. The right-hander's heater is also paying off with big strikeout numbers, as he's racked up an impressive 23 punchouts over 11.1 frames. Despite the fact that Miller plays for one of the league's worst teams, he's quickly evolving into one of fantasy's most desirable closers.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Perfect for save No. 3

    Munoz pitched a perfect ninth inning Thursday against the Rangers to earn a save.

    Munoz picked up his first save since April 6, making quick work of Wyatt Langford, Travis Jankowski and Jonah Heim to close out the Mariners' win. He's now 3-for-4 in save chances this season, and Thursday's outing could give him more leeway with Ryne Stanek breathing down his back for save chances.

  • Brock Stewart RP | LAD

    Twins' Brock Stewart: Scoreless streak continues

    Stewart allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning to earn a hold in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the White Sox.

    The right-hander has thrown 11.1 scoreless innings to begin the season with a 15:6 K:BB ratio. He hasn't finished any games or had any save chances with Jhoan Duran (oblique) sidelined, as Stewart has been used primarily in the eighth inning. However, he's amassed six holds.

  • Hunter Gaddis SP | CLE

    Guardians' Hunter Gaddis: Earns first win

    Gaddis (1-0) earned the win, allowing a hit in two-thirds of an inning without being charged with a run Thursday versus the Red Sox. He did not strike out or walk a batter.

    Gaddis allowed an inherited runner to score, which cut the Guardians' lead to 5-4 at the time. He was able to escape the jam, and he was ultimately credited with the win despite being the third reliever to pitch after starter Triston McKenzie. Gaddis has not been charged with a run over 12.1 innings this season, adding a 16:3 K:BB and six holds across 13 appearances. The right-hander's strong start to the campaign has earned him a setup role, though Thursday's outing shows that he's trusted to work in any high-leverage situation.

  • Cody Morris RP | NYY

    Yankees' Cody Morris: Sent back to minors

    Morris was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

    Morris was called up to the majors Saturday but did not make an appearance. He'll head back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he's allowed six earned runs and maintained a 9:6 K:BB across eight innings early on in the campaign.

  • Josh Sborz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Sborz: Tosses scoreless frame

    Sborz threw a scoreless ninth inning in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Seattle.

    Sborz, who was activated off the injured list Thursday, retired the side in order, needing just nine pitches. He was placed on the IL due to a shoulder injury April 7 after just three appearances. The back end of the bullpen has changed since then -- Kirby Yates replaced Jose Leclerc as the closer -- but Sborz should remain part of the setup group.

  • Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE

    Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Locks down eighth save

    Clase earned the save Thursday against the Red Sox, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    It's the fifth straight scoreless outing from Clase -- he's allowed just one hit while striking out eight in his last five innings. Overall, the right-hander is 8-for-10 in save chances this year with a stellar 0.69 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 14:1 K:BB over 13 innings.

  • Chase Anderson RP | TEX

    Red Sox's Chase Anderson: Struggles in first start

    Anderson (0-1) took the loss Thursday against the Guardians, allowing five runs on three hits and three walks over 1.2 innings. He didn't record a strikeout.

    After working his way out of trouble in the first inning, Anderson allowed a solo home run to Will Brennan in the second before Jose Ramirez launched a grand slam with two outs in the frame. The 36-year-old Anderson opened the year in Boston's bullpen, though he was thrust into the rotation with injuries to Brayan Bello (lat), Nick Pivetta (elbow) and Garrett Whitlock (oblique). While Thursday's outing certainly wasn't encouraging, the Red Sox may need Anderson to make at least one more start until other options are healthy.
