  • Rays' Brian Van Belle: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Rays transferred Van Belle (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    The right-hander landed on the injured list over the weekend due to elbow inflammation and will now be sidelined for the rest of the season. The results of Van Belle's MRI have yet to be disclosed, so it's unclear if he's expected to be available for the start of spring training.

  • Rays' Caleb Boushley: Claimed by Rays

    The Rays claimed Boushley off waivers from the Rangers on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham.

    Boushley has posted a 6.02 ERA in 43.1 innings during his time with the Rangers this season. The 31-year-old has minor-league options remaining will report to Durham for now, but he could join the major-league club later this month.

  • Paul Sewald RP | ARI

    Tigers' Paul Sewald: Nearing return?

    Sewald (shoulder), who has logged two scoreless innings in a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan, could return from the injured list as soon as Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

    Sewald has yet to pitch for Detroit after getting acquired in a trade before the deadline. The 33-year-old righty last saw the mound on July 11 when he was with Cleveland, and he posted a 4.70 ERA and 18 strikeouts across 15.1 innings for the Guardians before going down with a right shoulder strain. The Tigers are hoping Sewald can provide some veteran bullpen depth for the stretch run, though he's unlikely to see save chances ahead of Will Vest and Kyle Finnegan (groin) once he's healthy.

  • Steven Cruz RP | KC

    Royals' Steven Cruz: Ready for rehab assignment

    Cruz (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    Cruz has missed more than a month of action with right shoulder tendinitis but is ready to test things out in a game setting. As long as things go well, the righty reliever shouldn't require too many rehab outings before being reinstated from the 15-day injured list.

  • Danny Coulombe RP | BOS

    Rangers' Danny Coulombe: Rehab assignment coming

    Coulombe (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Friday, MLB.com reports.

    Coulombe last pitched Aug. 26 against the Angels, when he allowed a pair of home runs. He'll join Frisco for its final three games of the regular season. That gives the left-handed reliever ample opportunity to prepare for a potential activation Sept. 16, the earliest date on which he could return.

  • Andres Munoz RP | SEA

    Mariners' Andres Munoz: Locks down 33rd save

    Munoz picked up the save in Monday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

    The hard-throwing righty made quick work of St. Louis, issuing only a one-out walk to Ivan Herrera before striking out Alec Burleson and Nolan Gorman to secure his 33rd save of the season. It was Munoz's first outing since Aug. 31, as Seattle's schedule since then featured a four-game losing skid followed by back-to-back blowout wins over Atlanta that didn't require his services.

  • Caden Dana SP | LAA

    Angels' Caden Dana: Punches out nine in loss

    Dana (0-1) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on five hits and five walks over 4.2 innings in a 12-3 loss to the Twins. He struck out nine.

    Dana flashed both his potential and his flaws in his latest outing, piling up nine strikeouts but also issuing five walks and serving up two home runs. The right-hander has made four big-league appearances this season, including two starts since being recalled Sept. 3, and sits with a 6.32 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 15.2 innings. While his 19 strikeouts show the swing-and-miss upside, 11 walks and continued issues with home runs highlight the command struggles holding him back.

  • Jacob Latz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob Latz: Quiets Brewers over 5.2 innings

    Latz (2-0) notched the win Monday against the Brewers, allowing three hits and one walk in 5.2 shutout innings. He struck out four.

    It was was perhaps Latz's finest effort as a starter so far this season, as it was his first scoreless start of the year. The left-hander has gone at least five innings in four of his six starts in 2025, and he's in line to remain in the rotation with Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. Latz has a 2.91 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 66:32 K:BB across a career-high 74.1 frames. He's next slated for a tall task on the road against the Mets this weekend.

  • Andrew Wantz RP | TB

    Rays' Andrew Wantz: Returns from lengthy IL stint

    Wantz (elbow) threw a scoreless inning and struck out one during Saturday's game against Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Wantz was officially activated from the 60-day injured list Sept. 1 after recovering from right elbow surgery. He's looked sharp in three appearances since his return to Triple-A, firing three scoreless frames while registering two strikeouts and one walk.

  • Orioles' Rodolfo Martinez: Cut loose by Orioles

    Martinez (undisclosed) was released by Baltimore on Sept. 4.

    Martinez appeared in 16 games at Triple-A Norfolk this season, recording a 4.96 ERA and 1.99 WHIP with 21 strikeouts across 16.1 innings. He missed a good chunk of the season while on the mend from an undisclosed injury and hadn't yet returned from a rehab assignment before being handed his release.
