  • Tom Cosgrove RP | CHC

    Cubs' Tom Cosgrove: Joins big club for doubleheader

    The Cubs recalled Cosgrove from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Cosgrove will join the Cubs ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Brewers, though it's unclear if he or another player will be sent back to Iowa once the twin bill concludes and Chicago needs to reduce its active roster to 26 men. The 29-year-old southpaw reliever has made just two appearances in the majors this season but has seen ample usage for Iowa, logging a 4.66 ERA and 1.65 WHIP while striking out 47 batters across 38.2 innings over 33 outings.

  • Luke Little RP | CHC

    Cubs' Luke Little: Optioned to Iowa

    The Cubs optioned Little to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Little's stint in the majors lasted only one day, and he allowed one unearned run while fanning four over two innings of relief in Monday's 7-0 loss to the Brewers. The big left-hander is being replaced on the active roster by Tom Cosgrove, who was recalled from Triple-A.

  • Connor Seabold RP | ATL

    Braves' Connor Seabold: Recalled by Atlanta

    Atlanta recalled Seabold from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

    Seabold was claimed off waivers earlier this month and is now headed to the majors. The right-hander has permitted one run with a 5:3 K:BB over 6.2 frames at the big-league level this season. Seabold has made 10 starts in 2025 at the Triple-A level, so he has the ability to eat up some innings out of the bullpen.

  • Dane Dunning RP | ATL

    Braves' Dane Dunning: Back up with big club

    Atlanta recalled Dunning from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

    Dunning has been torched for nine runs over 5.2 innings during his time with Atlanta. He will give the bullpen some length.

  • Braves' Hunter Stratton: Dispatched to Gwinnett

    Atlanta optioned Stratton to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

    Stratton has tossed six scoreless innings during his time with Atlanta -- which includes a three-inning save in his last appearance -- but will nonetheless head back to the minors to make room for another reliever.

  • Braves' Daysbel Hernandez: Sent back to minors

    Atlanta optioned Hernandez to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

    Hernandez has managed a 2.72 ERA in 36.1 innings this season, but a 33:30 K:BB doesn't paint a pretty picture. He'll report to Gwinnett as Atlanta adds a fresh bullpen arm in his place.

  • Scott Barlow RP | CIN

    Reds' Scott Barlow: Collects first save of season

    Barlow walked one and struck out four over 1.1 scoreless and hitless innings to earn the save in Monday's 4-1 win over the Angels.

    The Reds were a bit thin in the bullpen Monday, as all of Emilio Pagan, Tony Santillan and Graham Ashcraft had pitched Saturday and Sunday. Barlow stepped up for the four-out save, throwing 14 of 25 pitches for strikes. While this was his first save of 2025, Barlow had earned 58 saves from 2019-2024. He's added 13 holds and a blown save while pitching to a 3.54 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 61:34 K:BB across 56 innings. He's not the top option for ancillary saves, but Barlow remains part of the Reds' high-leverage mix.

  • Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Records fourth save

    Rodriguez allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

    Rodriguez has been a little shaky since taking over closing duties at the tail end of July. He's allowed five runs in six innings while converting just three of five save chances and taking three losses over his last six appearances. Despite the recent struggles, Rodriguez is still boasting strong season-long numbers with a 1.63 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 66:11 K:BB over 49.2 innings. He's up to four saves as well as 13 holds in 49 appearances.

  • Dennis Santana RP | PIT

    Pirates' Dennis Santana: Notches eighth save

    Santana collected the save in Monday's 5-2 win versus Toronto, striking out one in a clean inning.

    The Pirates closer required only eight pitches, six of which were strikes, to pick up his second save of the month. Santana appears to have settled in since his last blown save Aug. 6 against San Francisco, as he's now logged four consecutive scoreless appearances. Across 53.1 total frames, the 29-year-old has pitched to a 2.36 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 42:11 K:BB while going 8-for-10 in save opportunities.

  • Michael Kopech SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Michael Kopech: Shaky so far in rehab stint

    Kopech (knee) has tossed two rehab outings with Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 1.2 combined innings.

    Kopech particularly struggled in his first rehab appearance with OKC on Aug. 14, as he gave up three runs and uncorked two wild pitches along with his two walks. Though the veteran reliever was better two days later in his second outing -- he fanned two batters in a scoreless frame -- he issued another free pass and threw just 12 of 24 pitches for strikes. Kopech is on the 60-day IL and isn't eligible to be activated until Aug. 27, so he should have multiple more minor-league outings to try to straighten out his control and shake off lingering rust.
