  • Braves' Hunter Stratton: Joins big-league bullpen

    Atlanta recalled Stratton from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

    Stratton was acquired from the Pirates in a trade earlier this month and will be making his debut for Atlanta when he gets into a game. The righty has permitted seven earned runs in 2.2 innings at the major-league level in 2025.

  • Dylan Dodd SP | ATL

    Braves' Dylan Dodd: Back up with big club

    Atlanta recalled Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

    Dodd will provide some length in the bullpen. The left-hander has made 11 relief appearances for Atlanta this season, yielding five runs with a 9:2 K:BB across 12 innings.

  • Wander Suero RP | ATH

    Braves' Wander Suero: Dispatched to minors

    Atlanta optioned Suero to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.

    Suero was needed for two innings and 47 pitches out of the bullpen in Tuesday's loss to the Giants, so he's being replaced by a fresh bullpen arm in lefty Dylan Dodd, who was recalled from Triple-A. The righty has allowed six runs over five frames in his three appearances for Atlanta this season.

  • Jake Woodford SP | MIL

    Diamondbacks' Jake Woodford: Charged with blown save

    Woodford (0-1) allowed three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one over 1.2 innings, taking the loss and a blown save in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Houston.

    Woodford came on in the eighth inning with the Diamondbacks leading, 1-0. After getting the first batter to ground out, he gave up a walk and then hung a sweeper to Brice Matthews, who hammered it into the seats in left field for a two-run home run. Woodford stayed in for the ninth, gave up a pair singles and was charged with Houston's final run. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo had already used Kevin Ginkel, perhaps the team's highest-leverage arm, to get out of the seventh inning and had to adapt in the later innings. Woodford has appeared in five games since joining the team earlier this month and has a 4.35 ERA with six strikeouts and four walks over 10.1 innings.

  • Dodgers' Ben Casparius: Exits with trainer

    Casparius was removed from Tuesday's game against the Twins due to an apparent hamstring injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Casparius allowed four consecutive batters to reach base after entering the game in the sixth inning. He grabbed at his right hamstring before calling for a trainer and was removed from the game without recording an out. More information on his status should come once the Dodgers are able to take a closer look at him.

  • Marlins' Ronny Henriquez: Scrapes by with save

    Henriquez picked up the save Tuesday against the Padres, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk with one strikeout across one inning.

    Henriquez inherited a three-run lead in the top of the ninth and nearly squandered the advantage by allowing a leadoff walk and back-to-back doubles that cut the the Padres' deficit to one. However, he rebounded and retired the next three batters he faced to notch his sixth save of the campaign. Henriquez and Calvin Faucher have been battling for closer duties, but neither has done enough to win the job at this point. In his last 10.1 innings, Henriquez has allowed four runs and generated a 15:4 K:BB.

  • Brad Lord P | WAS

    Nationals' Brad Lord: Impresses in return to rotation

    Lord didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Cincinnati, allowing one run on six hits and no walks over four innings. He struck out one.

    As expected, Lord threw just 50 pitches in what was his first start since May 6. The 25-year-old had pitched out of the bullpen since, but Washington opted to push him back into the rotation following the All-Star break. In seven starts this season, Lord owns a 4.15 ERA and a 22:9 K:BB across 30.1 innings. He'll likely still be on a pitch count in his next appearance, which is expected to come early next week against the Astros.

  • Ryne Stanek RP | STL

    Mets' Ryne Stanek: Secures third save Tuesday

    Stanek picked up the save in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Angels, allowing two hits and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

    Closer Edwin Diaz worked each of the past two days for the Mets, which opened the door for Stanek to handle Tuesday's save opportunity and register his third save of the year. As long as Diaz stays healthy, Stanek is unlikely to see very much ninth-inning work out of New York's bullpen. On the season, Stanek owns a troublesome 4.15 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 38:18 K:BB across 34.2 innings.

  • Alexis Diaz RP | TEX

    Dodgers' Alexis Diaz: Back in Los Angeles

    The Dodgers recalled Diaz from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

    With Tanner Scott set to miss at least the next 15 days with elbow inflammation, Diaz will come up from the minors to claim the open bullpen spot. The 28-year-old has surrendered eight earned runs in just six MLB innings this season, so he'll likely be reserved for low-leverage situations with the Dodgers despite his previous experience as a closer in Cincinnati.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Officially placed on IL

    The Dodgers placed Scott on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow inflammation.

    The fact that the team is labeling Scott's injury as "inflammation" suggests the southpaw didn't suffer any structural damage during his outing Monday, but it will still cause him to remain out until at least early August. Alexis Diaz will come up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the open spot in Los Angeles' bullpen, and closing duties will likely be handed to Kirby Yates or Alex Vesia going forward.
