  • Brett de Geus RP | TOR

    Marlins' Brett de Geus: Set for Marlins debut

    The Marlins recalled de Geus from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

    De Geus was claimed off waivers Monday and threw a scoreless inning in his only appearance for Jacksonville. He'll join a Marlins bullpen in need of reliable arms. The right-hander appeared in four games before being designated for assignment by Seattle, allowing one run across 3.1 innings.

  • John McMillon RP | MIA

    Marlins' John McMillon: Recalled from Triple-A

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

    McMillon was claimed off waivers from the Royals a week ago and will now receive an opportunity in the big-league bullpen. The right-hander made four appearances with Kansas City last season, allowing one run. He's posted a 6.32 ERA and 37:27 K:BB over 31.1 innings at the Triple-A level in 2024.

  • Marlins' Emmanuel Ramirez: Departs active roster

    The Marlins optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

    Ramirez had been part of the 26-man roster since July 26, but after yielding seven runs (five earned) without logging an out Thursday, he'll be sent down to Triple-A. Prior to Thursday's outing, Ramirez had allowed four runs in 16.1 innings for Miami.

  • Marlins' Darren McCaughan: Moved to Triple-A

    The Marlins optioned McCaughan to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

    McCaughan joined the Marlins on Tuesday and allowed one run across five innings spanning two appearances. He'll return to Jacksonville as part of a flurry of transactions made by Miami on Friday. McCaughan has generated a 5.75 ERA across 36.0 innings for Jacksonville this season.

  • Jhony Brito RP | SD

    Padres' Jhony Brito: Brought up to big leagues

    The Padres recalled Brito from Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Brito will join the big club for the first time since being optioned June 24, taking Randy Vasquez's place on the 26-man roster. Brito has pitched 41.1 innings for the Padres this season, logging a 4.35 ERA with a 26:9 K:BB. He hasn't recorded a hold and has blown three saves.

  • Kai-Wei Teng RP | SF

    Giants' Kai-Wei Teng: Returns to action at Triple-A

    Teng (undisclosed) has struck out five and has given up three earned runs on five hits and one walk over 6.2 innings over two appearances for Triple-A Sacramento since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 28.

    Teng had been on the shelf for three weeks before he made his return to Sacramento. The 25-year-old righty made four appearances out of the San Francisco bullpen earlier this season but is likely to serve as a swingman for Sacramento for the foreseeable future. He holds an 8.66 ERA and 1.76 WHIP over 44.2 innings for the Triple-A club in 2024.

  • JoJo Romero RP | STL

    Cardinals' JoJo Romero: Handed loss Thursday

    Romero (5-2) allowed one run on one hit over 1.1 innings Thursday to take the loss versus the Rays.

    Romero also allowed an inherited runner to score on a two-run home run by Brandon Lowe, which put the Rays ahead for good. Since the start of July, Romero has allowed just two runs over 11 innings, but he's been charged with three blown saves in that span while adding three holds. He remains the Cardinals' top lefty setup man, posting a 2.44 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB with 28 holds and six blown saves over 48 innings this season.

  • Derek Law RP | WAS

    Nationals' Derek Law: Seeing massive workload

    Law leads all big-league relievers with 72.1 innings pitched so far this season, posting a 2.99 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 60:18 K:BB with six wins, 11 holds and a save in 58 appearances.

    The veteran right-hander has worked more than an inning in four of his last five appearances as the Nationals' rotation struggles to provide consistent length, putting additional pressure on the bullpen. Per Mark Zuckerman of MASN, Law is on pace to become the first reliever in Nats history to toss more than 100 innings in a season -- Saul Rivera holds the record with 93 innings in 2007. Law has already set new career highs in innings and wins, and he's closing in on his personal bests in holds (14) and strikeouts (67).

  • Peter Lambert RP | COL

    Rockies' Peter Lambert: Bruises thumb in relief appearance

    Lambert was removed from his relief appearance in Thursday's 9-1 loss to the Mets due to what Rockies manager Bud Black described as a "severely bruised" left thumb, MLB.com reports. "It ballooned up as the outing went on," Black said after Lambert was struck by a Francisco Lindor line drive in the fourth inning. "It got to the point where it was becoming a little bit of a distraction for him to pitch, so that's why we got him out of there. We took X-rays, and they were negative."

    Coming on in the top of the fourth inning to replace laboring starter Austin Gomber, Lambert allowed a one-out single to Tyrone Taylor, then got a double play when Lindor's liner ricocheted off the right-hander's glove to shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, who stepped on second base and threw to first. Lambert went on to pitch two more innings and struck out three batters on the day, but his overall effectiveness waned as he pitched through the thumb injury, and he ended up giving up two earned runs on five hits and one walk. Though X-rays came back negative, Lambert could be a candidate to go on the injured list if any issues are discovered once the swelling goes down.

  • Grant Hartwig RP | NYM

    Mets' Grant Hartwig: Returns to action for Double-A club

    Triple-A Syracuse activated Hartwig (knee) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday and assigned him to Double-A Binghamton.

    Hartwig had been on the shelf at Triple-A since mid-June with a torn meniscus in his left knee, but after making a full recovery from surgery, he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment at Single-A St. Lucie on July 30. After making two appearances, Hartwig was bumped up to Double-A, and he'll likely remain with Binghamton until a spot opens in the Triple-A bullpen. In his first appearance with Binghamton on Tuesday, Hartwig gave up one earned run on two hits and one walk while recording one out.
