  • Jovani Moran RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Bound for Worcester

    The Red Sox are expected to option Moran to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

    Moran never appeared in a game after being recalled Tuesday, and he's now due to head back to Triple-A to clear a roster spot for Justin Slaten (shoulder), who will be activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday. Moran has given up three earned runs in four innings with the big club this season, and his 3.54 ERA at Worcester keeps him in play for another promotion in September.

  • Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Dominant again for 26th save

    Chapman earned the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Baltimore, striking out three in a perfect ninth inning.

    Chapman continued his stellar run with a three-strikeout effort Wednesday. The southpaw's gone 11.2 innings without allowing a hit, issuing just four walks while striking out 14 in that span. The 37-year-old Chapman's converted 26 of 28 save chances this season while posting a stellar 1.04 ERA, a 0.67 WHIP and 74:14 K:BB across 52 innings.

  • Jason Foley RP | SF

    Tigers' Jason Foley: Begins throwing again

    Foley (shoulder) initiated a throwing progression Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Foley isn't in line to pitch again this season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder in May, but his ability to start playing catch again could put him in position to have something resembling a normal offseason. If Foley is free of any restrictions to begin spring training, he'll get the chance to compete for a role in the Detroit bullpen in 2026. After saving 28 games for the Tigers in 2024, Foley was optioned to Triple-A Toledo prior to this season following a rough showing in spring training. He had been pitching well at Toledo before straining his shoulder and requiring the season-ending procedure.

  • Paul Sewald RP | DET

    Tigers' Paul Sewald: Completes another side session

    Sewald (shoulder) threw his second bullpen session Tuesday since resuming his throwing program earlier this month, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Sewald threw all fastballs in his first side session over the weekend, but he may have been able to incorporate some breaking pitches into Tuesday's workout. The right-hander is expected to complete at least a couple more bullpen sessions before he advances to facing hitters, and eventually, returns from the 60-day injured list in September. Sewald has yet to make his Tigers debut after he was initially placed on the Guardians' IL on July 15 due to a right shoulder strain before being traded to Detroit just over two weeks later.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Hangs on for 31st save

    Munoz earned the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Padres, allowing a run on two hits in the ninth inning.

    Munoz allowed a run on a pair of doubles in the ninth inning, though he managed to strand the tying run on third base to pick up his 31st save this year. While Munoz has converted 10 straight save chances, he's been a bit shaky of late, allowing a run in three of his last four appearances. Overall, the right-hander sports a 1.56 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP and 66:24 K:BB across 52 innings this season.

  • Cade Smith P | CLE

    Guardians' Cade Smith: Nabs extra-inning win

    Smith (6-5) picked up the win Wednesday, striking out one during a perfect 10th inning in a 4-3 victory over the Rays.

    The right-hander needed only seven pitches (six strikes) to breeze through Tampa Bay's 8-9-1 hitters and leave designated runner Jake Mangum stranded at third base, setting the stage for Kyle Manzardo to walk it off in the bottom of the 10th with an RBI single. Smith allowed runs in three straight appearances last week, but he appears to have righted his ship against the Rays, collecting a win and a save in back-to-back scoreless outings. Through 13.1 innings in August, Smith sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB.

  • Pete Fairbanks RP | MIA

    Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Blows fifth save

    Fairbanks was charged with his fifth blown save of the season in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Guardians, giving up one run on one hit in the ninth inning. He struck out two.

    Brought in to protect a 3-2 lead, Fairbanks instead served up a game-tying homer to improbable hero Nolan Jones, who came into Wednesday mired in a 53-game power drought, with his last long ball having come June 13. Fairbanks has coughed up just five home runs on the season, but four of them have come in his last 10 appearances -- a stretch in which he's gone 4-for-6 in converting save chances.

  • Rangers' Caleb Boushley: Back in MLB

    The Rangers recalled Boushley from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

    The 31-year-old will claim the roster spot vacated by Nathan Eovaldi, who landed on the injured list Wednesday with a season-ending shoulder injury. Boushley has turned in a 5.22 ERA through 39.2 innings with the Rangers despite owning a 1.08 ERA in Triple-A, and he'll presumably take on a multi-inning role out of the bullpen now that he's back in Arlington.

  • Sam Bachman RP | LAA

    Angels' Sam Bachman: Dispatched to Salt Lake

    The Angels optioned Bachman to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

    Bachman gave up one run in two innings during his appearance Tuesday, bringing his ERA down to 4.96 through 16.1 innings in the majors. He'll now head back to Triple-A, where he owns a 0.49 ERA, to make room for Wednesday's starter, Jack Kochanowicz.

  • Orioles' Yaramil Hiraldo: Sent to Norfolk

    The Orioles optioned Hiraldo to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

    Hiraldo has been sent down one day after he was touched up for three runs in a 1.1-inning relief outing in the Orioles' 5-0 loss to the Red Sox. The righty reliever has collected a 5.65 ERA and 12:6 K:BB over 14.1 frames with the Orioles this season.
