  • Chase Silseth RP | LAA

    Angels' Chase Silseth: Called up by Halos

    The Angels recalled Silseth from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

    Although Silseth has transitioned to a relief role in the minors this season, he could be used out of the Angels' rotation this weekend against the Cubs while Jose Soriano (personal) is on the paternity list. Silseth last saw major-league action in 2024, when he made two starts and posted a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over eight innings.

  • Jacob Latz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob Latz: Moving up from Triple-A

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

    Caleb Boushley will begin the game on the mound for the Rangers on Wednesday in Kansas City, but since he'll be pitching on one day of rest and hasn't covered more than one frame since making a three-inning appearance for Round Rock on Aug. 10, he'll likely be in line for an abbreviated start. As one of the fresher arms in the bullpen who's capable of providing length, Latz could be called upon for multiple innings of relief Wednesday. Latz is available on three days' rest and worked five-plus innings on three previous occasions for Texas this season, most recently doing so July 20 versus Detroit.

  • Cole Winn SP | TEX

    Rangers' Cole Winn: Lands on IL with nerve irritation

    The Rangers placed Winn on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to nerve irritation in his right hand, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Winn's hand injury may have played a factor in his poor relief appearance in the Rangers' 5-2 loss to the Royals on Tuesday, when he hit two batters with a pitch and yielded a two-run home run across 1.1 innings. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury, but the 25-year-old reliever won't be eligible to be reinstated from the IL until Sept. 4. Southpaw Jacob Latz was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

  • Blue Jays' Braydon Fisher: Sent packing to minors

    The Blue Jays optioned Fisher to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

    Fisher has been one of the team's better relievers this season, posting a 3.03 ERA and 50:12 K:BB over 38.2 innings. However, he has allowed a total of four runs over his last four appearances, and having minor-league options remaining certainly worked against him. His spot on the active roster will be taken over by Shane Bieber (elbow), who is slated to come off the 60-day injured list to make his season debut with a start Friday in Miami.

  • White Sox's Wikelman Gonzalez: Back up with big club

    The White Sox recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

    Gonzalez has permitted two runs with a 6:4 K:BB over eight innings in his first five appearances at the big-league level. The 23-year-old will join the Chicago bullpen and the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Elvis Peguero (elbow), who was placed on the injured list.

  • Elvis Peguero RP | CHW

    White Sox's Elvis Peguero: Goes down with strained elbow

    The White Sox placed Peguero on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right elbow strain.

    Peguero recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday and evidently hurt his elbow during his appearance in the White Sox's 11-10 loss to Atlanta later that night. He'll be eligible for activation Sept. 4, but given the nature of the injury, the righty might not be ready at that time.

  • Chris Martin RP | TEX

    Rangers' Chris Martin: Trying PFPs again Wednesday

    Martin (calf) will attempt to go through pitchers' fielding practice Wednesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Martin suffered a setback with his left calf strain last week when he tried going through PFPs, but he will give it another go Wednesday. The veteran reliever has been sidelined for most of the second half and is likely to need at least a couple rehab appearances before being activated, even if things go better for him Wednesday than they did last week.

  • Rangers' Caleb Boushley: Starting Wednesday's game

    Boushley will start for the Rangers in Wednesday's game versus the Royals, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Boushley has made five starts at Triple-A Round Rock this season and often pitches multiple innings in his relief outings with the Rangers. However, he will be taking the hill on one day of rest and last covered more than one inning in an appearance 10 days ago, so the Texas bullpen will be heavily involved Wednesday. Boushley shouldn't be expected to work deep enough into the start to qualify for a win.

  • Felix Bautista RP | BAL

    Orioles' Felix Bautista: Undergoes shoulder surgery

    Bautista underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn labrum and torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder, and he is expected to be sidelined at least 12 months, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    The Orioles had previously ruled Bautista out for the season with what they referred to as a significant shoulder injury, but the reliever requiring both a labrum and rotator cuff repair is about the worst-case scenario. While the club seems to be leaving open the possibility that Bautista could return late in the 2026 season, it's likelier he's out until the 2027 campaign. Additionally, with the nature of the operation, there's a chance Bautista is never an effective pitcher again. The 30-year-old will be eligible for salary arbitration in 2026 and 2027.

  • Guardians' Carlos Hernandez: DFA'd by Guardians

    The Guardians designated Hernandez for assignment Wednesday.

    The transaction frees up spots on the active and 40-man rosters for Parker Messick, who's been summoned from Triple-A Columbus to start Wednesday's game in Arizona. Hernandez has allowed three runs with a 3:3 K:BB over seven innings since arriving in Cleveland via waiver claim and will now go through the waivers process again.
