  • Austin Cox RP | ATL

    Braves' Austin Cox: Heading back to Gwinnett

    Atlanta optioned Cox to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

    Cox was hammered for seven runs in a three-inning relief appearance Thursday in Philadelphia, throwing 68 pitches. He wasn't going to be available to pitch for a few days, so Atlanta is replacing him with a fresh bullpen arm.

  • Nathan Wiles RP | ATL

    Braves' Nathan Wiles: Recalled from Triple-A

    Atlanta recalled Wiles from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

    Wiles was knocked around in his major-league debut earlier this season with Atlanta, allowing three runs over one inning. He's been used mostly as a starter at Gwinnett, so Wiles will offer length in the bullpen after starter Cal Quantrill lasted only 3.1 innings in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.

  • John Brebbia RP | COL

    Braves' John Brebbia: Added to roster

    Atlanta selected Brebbia's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

    Brebbia posted a 1.89 ERA and 21:3 K:BB over 19 innings with Gwinnett after inking a minor-league contract with Atlanta in June. The veteran reliever holds an unsightly 7.71 ERA at the big-league level this season and will work in middle relief.

  • Ty Adcock RP | SD

    Mets' Ty Adcock: Sent outright to Triple-A

    The Mets outrighted Adcock to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

    The 28-year-old is now off the Mets' 40-man roster, clearing a spot for Jonah Tong, who was called up from Syracuse to make his major-league debut Friday versus the Marlins. Adcock has made three appearances in the big leagues this season, allowing one run while striking out five over three frames.

  • Michael Kopech SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Return set for next week

    Kopech (knee) is expected to be activated off the injured list during the Dodgers' next road trip, which begins Tuesday in Pittsburgh, per MLB.com.

    Kopech is six outings into a minor-league rehab assignment, during which he's posted a 7.20 ERA, 2.40 WHIP and 4:6 K:BB over five innings. While those numbers aren't pretty, three of the four runs he's allowed came in his first rehab appearance, and he followed that matchup with four consecutive scoreless outings. By waiting until after Sept. 1 to activate Kopech, Los Angeles won't need to make a corresponding roster move, as the veteran reliever is slated to be one of the team's two players added when rosters expand.

  • JoJo Romero RP | STL

    Cardinals' JoJo Romero: Collects fifth save Thursday

    Romero allowed one hit and no walks with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning for the save Thursday against Pittsburgh.

    Romero picked up his fifth save of the season, and each of which have come following the trade of Ryan Helsley. Riley O'Brien worked a clean eighth inning for a hold, and Romero should continue sharing ninth-inning work with O'Brien based on matchups to finish out the campaign. Romero owns a 2.25 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 45:22 K:BB over 48 innings in 2025.

  • Calvin Faucher RP | MIA

    Marlins' Calvin Faucher: Registers 13th save

    Faucher struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

    Faucher took care of business on a tidy seven pitches (six strikes) to secure his second save in as many outings. It's been an uneven August for the right-hander -- he's taken two losses while adding three saves and a hold, and he's given up four runs (two earned) over 10 innings. On the year, he's 13-for-18 in save chances with six holds, a 3.35 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB through 51 innings. Faucher looks to still have the edge over Ronny Henriquez for save chances, though the Marlins haven't produced a lot of those opportunities this month.

  • Pirates' Braxton Ashcraft: Continues steady run Thursday

    Ashcraft didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

    Ashcraft turned in his third consecutive start of at least five innings while yielding one run or zero. With Andrew Heaney having been designated for assignment by the Pirates, Ashcraft has a fairly clear path to a starting role in the rotation to wrap up the season. The rookie right-hander has a promising 2.58 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB across his first 52.1 innings, though a scheduled matchup against the Dodgers next week might curb his streaming appeal a bit for his next turn.

  • Nabil Crismatt RP | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Nabil Crismatt: Grabs second win

    Crismatt (2-0) earned the win Thursday over the Brewers, allowing four runs (two earned) on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out two.

    Crismatt stumbled out of the gate Thursday, giving up at least one run in each of his first three innings. However, the right-hander managed to limit the damage against the Brewers, ultimately coming away with his second win in three appearances this season. The 30-year-old Crismatt has surrendered just three earned runs through his first 14.2 innings despite allowing 15 hits and five walks. He should remain in Arizona's rotation while Anthony DeSclafani (thumb) is sidelined. Crismatt's currently lined up to face the Rangers at home in his next outing.

  • Giants' Dakota Jordan: Shelved at Single-A

    Single-A San Jose placed Jordan on its 7-day injured list Aug. 12 due to an unspecified injury.

    A fourth-round draft pick in 2024, Jordan had been in the midst of an excellent first full season in professional ball before landing on the shelf. The 22-year-old outfielder maintained a .310/.378/.500 slash line with 14 home runs and 27 stolen bases over 410 plate appearances in 87 games with San Jose.
