Melton collected his first hold of the season while allowing one earned run on two hits and one walk over 1.1 innings of relief in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

After earning his third win of the season while tossing five scoreless frames against the White Sox in an Aug. 13 start, Melton has since shifted back to the bullpen. Melton will likely fill a flexible relief role for Detroit for the time being, but after tossing 12 shutout innings between his last two starts, he should rank as the top option to join the rotation if a spot opens up at some point over the final five weeks of the season.

Vargas gave up two runs on three hits and one walk in the seventh inning during Sunday's 11-4 win over the Athletics. He struck out one.

Vargas was brought on with the Mariners in possession of a commanding 11-1 lead, so his rough showing didn't play much of a factor in the outcome of the game. The right-hander will likely remain being used primarily as a middle reliever and low-leverage arm, given Vargas owns a 5.57 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB over his last 21 innings since the start of July.

Akin picked up the save Sunday against the Astros, striking out three while not allowing a baserunner across 1.2 innings.

Akin has been part of a closing committee the Orioles have deployed recently, and he was called upon Sunday to secure Baltimore's victory. He had blown his last two save opportunities, so it wasn't a guarantee Akin would continue to be a ninth-inning option. He may have pitched his way into more save chances after retiring all five of the batters he faced Sunday. Akin has a 3.12 ERA, a 47:26 K:BB and three saves in 49 innings this season.

Bernardino will serve as the Red Sox's opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Orioles, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Bernardino will toe the rubber for his second start of the 2025 campaign, likely working one or two innings before giving way to bulk reliever Richard Fitts. Over his last 13 appearances with Boston, the lefty has allowed five hits and five walks while striking out 12 batters over 15.1 scoreless frames.

Guerrero (elbow) threw a 25-pitch live batting practice session Aug. 12 and could soon head out on a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

Guerrero is eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list later this week, but he'll need additional time to complete a rehab assignment before making his return to the Boston bullpen. Before landing on the shelf June 28 due to a right elbow strain, Guerrero compiled a 4.15 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 10:14 K:BB in 17.1 innings over 13 appearances.

The Athletics announced Aug. 12 that Holman (finger/shoulder) has advanced to gripping drills and is building toward a throwing progression, MLB.com reports.

Holman has been stuck on the injured list since June 19, and though he's no longer shut down from activity, he remains without a clear timeline for a return. The reliever was initially placed on the shelf due to rotator cuff tendinitis in his right shoulder, but the Athletics are now classifying his injury as a strained right middle finger.

Gomez did not factor into the decision Sunday against Minnesota, allowing two hits and three walks over 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.

While Gomez was able to hold the Twins scoreless, he was unable to qualify for a win after throwing 89 pitches before departing with two outs in the fifth inning. Still, the 25-year-old Gomez has been solid overall in three starts since shifting into the rotation, allowing four earned runs across 14.2 innings while striking out 16. He's currently lined up to face the Yankees at home his next time out.

Estevez earned the save in Sunday's 10-8 win over the Tigers, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Estevez has been perfect in five straight appearances while posting a 1.29 ERA in his last seven innings. He's up to 34 saves on the year, tied with Robert Suarez for the MLB lead, with a 2.67 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 48 strikeouts across 57.1 innings.

The Angels placed Mederos on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right shoulder inflammation.

Mederos made his third start of the season in Saturday's 12-1 loss to the Cubs and was the pitcher of record after yielding six earned runs on four hits and two walks across four innings. Following the game, Mederos told Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register that his shoulder felt off toward the end of his start, and the Angels decided to deactivate him while they look to glean more information about the injury. Mederos is expected to undergo an MRI in the coming days before the Angels provide a potential timeline for his return. Caden Dana delivered a 13-strikeout gem in his most recent start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday and could be a top candidate to step in for Mederos the next time his turn in the rotation comes up.

The Angels placed Fulmer on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation.

According to MLB.com, Fulmer sustained the injury while throwing a changeup during his relief appearance in Saturday's 12-1 loss to the Cubs. Before departing, Fulmer was charged with six earned runs on seven hits and one walk over 1.1 innings, bringing his ERA up to 5.83 for the season. Though the Angels are labeling his injury as inflammation, Fulmer will undergo further testing as the team looks to rule out a more significant issue to his elbow, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.
