  • Thomas Hatch RP | ARI

    Twins' Thomas Hatch: Drawing start Sunday

    Hatch is slated to start Sunday's game against the Tigers at Target Field, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Minnesota will have a couple of holes in its rotation until Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) and Pablo Lopez (shoulder) return from the injured list, and Hatch will fill one of those vacancies Sunday. The right-hander should be able to provide the Twins with some length after making two 4.1-inning bulk-relief appearances since Aug. 6. Between his stops with the Twins and Royals this season, Hatch owns a 5.59 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 6:8 K:BB in 9.2 innings over three outings.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Demoted to Triple-A

    The Guardians optioned Cantillo to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

    Tim Herrin was promoted to replace Cantillo on the active roster, but the Guardians will likely wait until next week before announcing a new fifth starter. Cantillo owns a respectable 3.93 ERA over 66.1 innings in the majors this season, but he had issued at least four walks in three of his five starts since the All-Star break. The young lefty may need to iron out his control issues at Triple-A before he gets another look in the big-league rotation.

  • Tim Herrin RP | CLE

    Guardians' Tim Herrin: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Guardians recalled Herrin from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

    The addition of Herrin gives Cleveland a third left-handed option in the bullpen along with Erik Sabrowski and Kolby Allard. Over 39 appearances with the big club this season, Herrin owns a 4.06 ERA and 1.55 WHIP and has collected four wins and 11 holds in 31 innings.

  • Jon Gray SP | TEX

    Rangers' Jon Gray: Shelved with shoulder issue

    The Rangers placed Gray on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right shoulder nerve irritation.

    Gray will continue to occupy a spot on the Rangers' 40-man roster upon clearing outright waivers Saturday, after no other team was willing to take on the approximately $3.1 million remaining on his $13 million salary for 2025. The right-hander ended up making a 2.1-inning mop-up appearance in Saturday's 14-2 loss to the Blue Jays and may have been pitching through the shoulder issue during the outing. According to Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, manager Bruce Bochy said that Gray is dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome, which often necessitates a multi-month absence and is likely to end his season. Texas recalled right-hander Caleb Boushley from Triple-A Round Rock to replace Gray in the bullpen.

  • Rangers' Caleb Boushley: Back with parent club

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

    Boushley will provide a multi-inning relief option in place of Jon Gray (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his previous big-league stints this season, Boushley made 19 appearances and turned in a 5.05 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 35.2 innings.

  • Twins' Genesis Cabrera: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Twins selected Cabrera's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

    Cabrera will be up in the majors with his fourth different team of the season following stints with the Mets, Cubs and Pirates. Over 24 appearances in the big leagues in 2025, Cabrera has posted a 5.79 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 28 innings. He'll likely have to settle for a low-leverage role in the Minnesota bullpen.

  • Travis Adams P | MIN

    Twins' Travis Adams: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Twins optioned Adams to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

    Adams has struggled since he was called up at the start of August, logging a 7.36 ERA and 12:9 K:BB over 11 innings. The right-hander has made two starts among his eight appearances in the majors this season and could join the rotation as he heads back to St. Paul.

  • Daniel Lynch SP | KC

    Royals' Daniel Lynch: Earns win Saturday

    Lynch (5-2) earned the win Saturday against the White Sox. He allowed a hit and no walks with no strikeouts over two scoreless innings.

    The southpaw came on in relief after Michael Lorenzen worked four innings in his return from the IL. Since returning from the injured list himself with an elbow injury Aug. 3, Lynch has posted a 3.48 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across six appearances, picking up two wins over 10.1 innings.

  • Will Vest RP | DET

    Tigers' Will Vest: Returns to setup role Saturday

    Vest tossed 1.1 scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Twins. He allowed two hits and a walk while striking out two.

    Vest recorded the last out of the seventh inning and then worked the eighth against the top of Minnesota's order to earn his second hold of the season, with Kyle Finnegan covering the ninth for the save. Before Saturday, Vest had rattled off two straight saves, but Finnegan had three consecutive saves prior to that. It appears that both relievers will see ninth-inning work with Vest as the higher-leverage option, giving them each fantasy value but capping their respective ceilings. Vest still leads the Tigers with 18 saves in 23 opportunities.

  • David Bednar RP | NYY

    Yankees' David Bednar: Closes out another win

    Bednar secured the save in Saturday's 12-8 win over the Cardinals, retiring the only batter he faced.

    Bednar came on with two runners aboard and two outs in the bottom of the ninth and sat down Ivan Herrera to close out a high-scoring Yankees victory. The right-hander notched his 20th save of the year and third since joining New York, including saves on back-to-back nights this weekend.
