  • Alan Rangel RP | PHI

    Phillies' Alan Rangel: Headed to big leagues

    The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

    Rangel will provide some immediate help to the Phillies' bullpen ahead of Friday's bullpen game against the Pirates. He'll be making his MLB debut if he gets into a game. The 27-year-old has a 5.02 ERA in 57.1 innings spanning 12 starts for Lehigh Valley this season. Seth Johnson was optioned in a corresponding move.

  • Marlins' Anthony Veneziano: Promoted Friday

    The Marlins recalled Veneziano from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

    The left-hander was demoted to Jacksonville in mid-May after posting a 4.86 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB in his first 20 appearances of the season. Veneziano will rejoin the Marlins on Friday with Jesus Tinoco (forearm) landing on the injured list.

  • Jesus Tinoco RP | MIA

    Marlins' Jesus Tinoco: Goes on IL with forearm strain

    The Marlins placed Tinoco on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right forearm strain.

    Tinoco didn't strike out a single batted over his last five appearances and had been deployed in low-leverage situations lately, so it's possible he's been hurt for a while. Per Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com, an MRI on Tinoco's forearm didn't reveal any structural damage, but it's not clear how long he might be shelved.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Collects 11th save

    Scott surrendered a hit but recorded two strikeouts in the ninth inning to pick up the save during Thursday's 6-5 win over the Mets.

    After his closer status was put into question following a rocky outing Monday, Scott has posted back-to-back scoreless appearances. Right back in a save situation Friday, he needed 21 pitches to finish off his 11th save, but he posted two more strikeouts to make it 31 on the season, for a K/9 rate of 10.1. The 30-year-old southpaw is now 11-for-16 on save opportunities for the season.

  • Camilo Doval RP | NYY

    Giants' Camilo Doval: Rebounds for eighth save

    Doval earned the save in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Padres, allowing two hits while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

    After suffering a blown save in his last appearance Tuesday, Doval found himself in trouble again against the Padres, allowing a pair of singles that put the tying and go-ahead runs on base. However, Doval would rebound to strike out Jake Cronenworth for the final out, closing out a one-run Giants victory. Doval's allowed just two runs in his last 22.2 innings while reclaiming the ninth-inning job in San Francisco. His ERA sits at 1.61 on the year with a 0.96 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB across 28 innings while converting eight of 11 save opportunities.

  • Joe Ross RP | ARI

    Phillies' Joe Ross: Leading off bullpen game

    Ross will start Friday's game against the Pirates, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Ross has pitched exclusively out of the bullpen this season but has gotten more than three outs in nine of his 21 appearances. He is expected to pitch around two innings and will lead off a bullpen game for the Phillies on Friday. Taijuan Walker would have been a candidate to also chip in multiple innings, but he pitched one frame in Thursday's loss to Toronto, so he may no longer be available.

  • Ryan Helsley RP | BAL

    Cardinals' Ryan Helsley: Takes third blown save

    Helsley allowed a run on two hits and a walk to take a blown save in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Royals in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader.

    Helsley converted all nine of his save chances in May, allowing three runs over 11 innings with a 13:3 K:BB for the month. He struggled in his first appearance of June on Thursday after four days without taking the mound. Helsley has been far from elite this year, but he's still finding success with 13 of 16 save chances converted so far. He's added a 3.27 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 22 innings. His 4.9 BB/9 is well above the 3.1 he posted last year, which largely explains his occasional struggles with run prevention in 2025.

  • Scott Blewett RP | STL

    Braves' Scott Blewett: Leaving 40-man roster

    Atlanta is expected to designate Blewett for assignment Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Blewett surrendered five earned runs in just 1.1 innings during Thursday's contest, which saw Atlanta squander a six-run lead in the ninth inning en route to an 11-10 loss against Arizona. Despite his awful outing, the 29-year-old righty still owns a 3.91 ERA through 25.1 frames on the season and may attract interest from other bullpen-needy teams browsing the waiver wire. Craig Kimbrel is expected to replace Blewett on the 26-man and 40-man rosters.

  • Dylan Dodd SP | ATL

    Braves' Dylan Dodd: Rejoining big club

    Atlanta is expected to recall Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Dodd was sent down to Triple-A on Sunday after pitching 1.2 scoreless innings for Atlanta across two appearances, and he's now due to return to the majors as a roster replacement for Daysbel Hernandez (finger). Dodd will presumably work in middle relief while in the majors.

  • Braves' Daysbel Hernandez: Bound for injured list

    Atlanta is expected to place Hernandez (finger) on the 15-day injured list Friday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Hernandez was initially believed to be alright after exiting his outing Wednesday due to numbness in his right pinky, but he'll instead end up spending at least a couple of weeks on the injured list. Dylan Dodd will come up from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill the open spot in Atlanta's bullpen.
