The Red Sox recalled Bernardino from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

Victor Mederos RP | LAA
Angels' Victor Mederos: Falls behind early in loss
Mederos (0-1) allowed three runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss versus the Reds on Monday.
Mederos gave up a two-run home run to Gavin Lux in the first inning, and the Angels were never able to overcome that early damage. Over his first two big-league starts, Mederos has allowed six runs on 12 hits and six walks across nine innings. He'll need to cut down on the baserunners to have a chance to be more effective in a starting role. Should he get another start, he is tentatively projected for a home outing versus the Cubs this weekend.

Cade Smith P | CLE
Guardians' Cade Smith: Secures seventh save
Smith allowed one run on a hit and a walk while striking out two over one inning to earn the save in Monday's 3-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
Smith entered Monday on a 10-inning scoreless streak, but he allowed an RBI triple to Geraldo Perdomo in the ninth inning, though he was able to strand the Arizona shortstop 90 feet from home. Smith has performed admirably since taking over the closer role from Emmanuel Clase, who is on non-disciplinary leave. Smith now has seven saves on the year, four of which have come in August. He's added a 2.73 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 76:19 K:BB through 56 innings this season.

Carlos Estevez RP | KC
Royals' Carlos Estevez: Slams door for 32nd save
Estevez picked up the save in Monday's 4-3 win over Texas, throwing a clean ninth inning with no strikeouts.
Estevez is now up to 32 saves on the season, and he's now fired three consecutive spotless frames after giving up four runs in his first six outings of the month. The right-hander has had his share of hiccups since the start of July -- he has a 3.92 ERA over his last 20.2 innings -- but he remains Kansas City's clear-cut top option for ninth-inning work. Estevez is first in the American League in saves so far in 2025.

Yoendrys Gomez RP | TB
White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Strikes out three in third win
Gomez (3-1) notched the win Monday against Atlanta, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk in five-plus innings. He struck out three.
Gomez was well on his way to his second straight start of at least five innings while yielding only one run, but he was unable to record an out before conceding two more earned runs in the sixth inning. With Chicago optioning Sean Burke to the minor leagues Monday, Gomez should be able to maintain a spot in the rotation going forward. That said, Gomez has a weak 5.53 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 23:15 K:BB across 27.2 frames in 2025, so he likely won't categorize as an appealing streaming option versus the division-rival Twins this weekend.
