  • Alex Vesia RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Alex Vesia: Locks down fourth save

    Vesia earned the save in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Reds, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

    Tasked with protecting a one-run lead, Vesia delivered a clean ninth inning, fanning two batters and allowing no baserunners to secure his fourth save of the season, and his first since July 11. The left-hander has been nearly untouchable of late, giving up just one earned run across his last 15 appearances. Vesia now holds a 2.42 ERA, .90 WHIP and 62:13 K:BB through 44.2 innings this season and remains one of the Dodgers' top high-leverage bullpen arms.

  • Mets' Huascar Brazoban: Demoted to Triple-A

    The Mets optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse following Monday night's game.

    Brazoban came on in relief of Frankie Montas during the fifth inning of Monday's game against the Padres, inheriting runners on second and third with one out and a 5-3 lead. While he eventually recorded the last two outs of the inning, Brazoban allowed three hits and a walk, which led to the Padres taking the lead with their sixth run of the game. In a corresponding move, the Mets re-signed Chris Devenski to the active roster Tuesday.

  • Chris Devenski RP | PIT

    Mets' Chris Devenski: Re-signed by Mets

    The Mets signed Devenski to a one-year major-league contract Tuesday.

    Devenski rejoins the Mets after being designated for assignment by them July 22. He had elected free agency Saturday, but the Mets resigned him Tuesday after they optioned Huascar Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Resumes throwing

    Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Scott (elbow) has begun a throwing progression, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Scott still has several hurdles to clear before he can come off the injured list, but his return to throwing is a positive sign nonetheless. The 31-year-old reliever landed on the IL last Tuesday with elbow inflammation and remains without a clear return timeline, though he's still expected back in the Dodgers' bullpen before the end of the year.

  • Cubs' Gavin Hollowell: Back in big-league bullpen

    The Cubs recalled Hollowell from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

    Hollowell has a 5.24 ERA with a 34:12 K:BB in 22.1 innings across 20 games for Triple-A Iowa in 2025. Since being optioned back down May 12, he has a 6.23 ERA across 13 innings. With the 27-year-old returning to the active roster, Chris Flexen was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Rob Zastryzny RP | MIL

    Brewers' Rob Zastryzny: Hopes to resume rehab soon

    Zastryzny (ribs) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday and hopes to resume his rehab assignment this weekend, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

    Zastryzny had to be pulled off his rehab assignment Monday, but evidently the setback was deemed minor. The left-hander could be ready to rejoin the Brewers' bullpen by early August if all goes well.

  • Easton McGee SP | MIL

    Brewers' Easton McGee: Back up with big club

    The Brewers recalled McGee from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    He'll provide a fresh relief arm after the bullpen was needed for five innings in Monday's win over the Cubs. McGee has allowed two runs with a 7:3 K:BB over seven innings during his time in the majors this season.

  • Craig Yoho RP | MIL

    Brewers' Craig Yoho: Sent back to minors

    The Brewers optioned Yoho to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    Yoho was in the majors for just one day and walked two over two-thirds of a scoreless inning in his lone appearance. Easton McGee is taking Yoho's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

  • Blake Treinen RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Struggles in return to mound

    Treinen allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out two batters over two-thirds of an inning against the Reds on Monday.

    Treinen was reinstated Sunday from a lengthy stay on the injured list due to a forearm injury and saw his first MLB game action in over three months Monday. Though he didn't enter in a save situation, the right-hander did get the ball in the ninth inning with Los Angeles holding a 5-1 lead. Treinen looked rusty in the outing, throwing just 15 of 25 pitches for strikes and walking a pair. After issuing a free pass to TJ Friedl to load the bases with two outs, manager Dave Roberts elected to turn to Jack Dreyer, who was able to nab a save by getting Matt McLain to ground out. With Tanner Scott (elbow) currently on the IL and without a definite timeline for a return, the Dodgers' closer situation is nebulous, and Treinen could certainly factor into the mix, though Roberts may first want to allow him to shake off any cobwebs lingering from the extended absence. The Dodgers are also rumored to be seeking bullpen help as the trade deadline approaches.

  • Andrew Nardi RP | MIA

    Marlins' Andrew Nardi: Resumes mound work

    Nardi (back) has begun throwing off a mound, MLB.com reports.

    The southpaw reliever has yet to pitch in 2025 due to lower-back inflammation that cropped up in spring training, but he began a throwing progression in mid-June and has now graduated to mound work. It's not clear exactly what that entails or when he might be ready to face live batters, or even if he's done so already, but a return to the Marlins' bullpen some time in August could be feasible.
