  • Josh Simpson RP | SEA

    Marlins' Josh Simpson: Selected from Triple-A

    The Marlins selected Simpson's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

    Simpson will join the Marlins' bullpen after logging a 3.41 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 31.2 innings in Triple-A. He'll likely work in middle relief while in Miami, and he will replace Robinson Pina on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters.

  • Nate Pearson RP | HOU

    Cubs' Nate Pearson: Recalled from Iowa

    The Cubs recalled Pearson from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Since being optioned to Triple-A in mid-April, Pearson has turned in a 2.22 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 24.1 innings. His turnaround will buy him another shot in the Cubs' bullpen, where he will replace Genesis Cabrera, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Luis Mey RP | CIN

    Reds' Luis Mey: Sent back to Louisville

    The Reds optioned Mey to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday

    Mey gave up one run in 1.1 innings during his outing Thursday, and he'll now be sent back to the minors in favor of Chase Petty. Mey owns a 4.40 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 14.1 frames in the big leagues this season and will likely be back with the Reds down the line.

  • Brent Suter RP | LAA

    Reds' Brent Suter: Set to open Saturday's contest

    Manager Terry Francona said that Suter will serve as the Reds' opening pitcher in a bullpen game Saturday against the Cardinals, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Suter is stepping into the rotation spot vacated by left-hander Wade Miley (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday. The 35-year-old Suter has previously opened two games for the Reds, but since he'll be taking the hill on one day's rest and has maxed out at 3.2 innings and 63 pitches over his 23 appearances on the season, he's unlikely to stay in the game for more than one turn through the batting order. The Reds are expected to call up right-hander Chase Petty from Triple-A Louisville prior to Saturday's game, and he could be tasked with covering multiple innings in relief once Suter exits the contest.

  • Giants' Hayden Birdsong: Can't complete five frames

    Birdsong allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Friday.

    Birdsong ran into trouble in the third inning and also was scored on in the fourth and fifth frames. The Giants tied the game in the bottom of the fifth to spare him from staying on the hook for the loss, but it was another mediocre outing for Birdsong. The right-hander hadn't pitched since June 12 -- no reason was provided for the extended gap between starts, though the Giants' rotation has been in flux between the trade that sent Kyle Harrison to Boston and Justin Verlander's recent return from a pectoral injury. Birdsong has failed to complete five innings in three of his last five outings and now has a 3.25 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 55:20 K:BB through 52.2 innings over 17 appearances (six starts) this season. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home in a favorable matchup versus the Marlins.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Allows homer in save

    Scott allowed a run on one hit over one inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Nationals.

    Scott had to face the top of the Nationals' order and gave up a solo home run to CJ Abrams, but he was able to preserve the lead after that. This was the first earned run Scott had given up since June 2 versus the Mets, and it was the first time he's allowed a baserunner since June 9 in San Diego. The left-handed reliever is up to 15 saves this year while adding seven holds and five blown saves. He's maintained a 3.79 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 40:4 K:BB over 35.2 innings as the head of the Dodgers' closing committee.

  • Ryan Borucki RP | SF

    Pirates' Ryan Borucki: Exits with injury

    Borucki was removed from Friday's game against the Rangers with an apparent injury, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

    Borucki gave up one run and recorded just one out before departing the game with a trainer. It's not immediately clear what is bothering him, but the Pirates should offer some more details once they take a closer look at him.

  • Tommy Henry SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tommy Henry: Will undergo TJ surgery

    Henry (elbow) is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Henry was placed on Triple-A Reno's 7-day injured list June 12 due to left elbow discomfort, and after seeking multiple opinions, Tommy John surgery was elected as the best path moving forward for the 27-year-old southpaw. Henry will miss the rest of the 2025 season, and given the procedure, he'll likely miss most -- if not all -- of 2026. Henry appeared in two major-league games for the Diamondbacks this season but spent most of the year in Triple-A, where he posted a 2-6 record in 11 starts with an 8.12 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 51:21 K:BB across 54.1 innings.

  • Robert Suarez RP | ATL

    Padres' Robert Suarez: Appealing three-game suspension

    Suarez was issued a three-game suspension from Major League Baseball on Friday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

    Suarez was ejected from Thursday's game against the Dodgers after hitting Shohei Ohtani with a pitch, and the 34-year-old closer will now receive a three-game ban on top of it. Suarez is appealing the suspension, so he will remain on the Padres' active roster until a verdict is reached.

  • Dennis Santana RP | PIT

    Pirates' Dennis Santana: Handed four-game suspension

    Santana received a four-game suspension and fine from the league Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    The incident occurred during the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers for "aggressive conduct toward a fan near the bullpen." The suspension was set to start Friday, but Santana has appealed the suspension and will be available out of the bullpen until the process is complete. He has a 1.72 ERA, a 0.83 WHIP, five holds and a 25:5 K:BB across 31.1 innings this season.
