MLB Player News

Moll (shoulder impingement) is being shut down for the season, MLB.com reports.

The Reds want Moll to focus on offseason treatments. The left-hander had been dealing with a shoulder injury since mid-June, but it worsened Sept. 6 while he was warming up in the bullpen. Moll ends the year with a 3.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 38 strikeouts and 14 walks over 37.2 innings.

Helsley earned a save against the Guardians on Saturday, striking out all three batters he faced in a perfect ninth inning.

Helsley had just a one-run lead to work with upon entering in the ninth frame, but he made things look easy by notching three punchouts on 12 pitches. The right-hander continued an excellent season in which he's tied for the major-league lead with 46 saves while posting a 2.12 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 77:23 K:BB over 63.2 innings. Helsley has really had his strikeout stuff working of late, as he's registered multiple strikeouts in five of his past six appearances and has posted a 15:1 K:BB over seven frames during that stretch.

Roupp (1-1) earned the win against the Royals on Saturday, allowing three hits and three walks with three strikeouts over five scoreless innings.

Roupp was given a 1-0 lead in the first inning and pitched well enough to earn his first major-league victory. The 26-year-old has completed five frames in each of his three starts this season and has allowed just two earned runs across 20 September innings. On the year, he owns a 2.70 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 43:24 K:BB across 46.2 total innings between the rotation and bullpen.

Rasmussen earned the save against the Blue Jays on Saturday, striking out three over two perfect innings.

Rasmussen totaled 28 pitches over two innings and earned his first save since 2021. The 29-year-old has posted a 2.55 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB across 24.2 innings this season while working as an opener and reliever.

Mears (forearm) will throw a simulated game Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Mears has been on the 15-day injured list since Aug. 25 due to a right forearm strain. He's now poised to take the next step in his throwing program, and barring any setbacks, he could return to the Brewers' bullpen during the final week of the regular season. Over his 11 outings with the Brewers this season, Mears has a 6.75 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 10.2 innings.

The White Sox reinstated Leasure (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte.

Leasure allowed three earned runs over 4.1 innings during his rehab assignment with Charlotte, and he will now remain in the minors despite being ostensibly recovered from his shoulder impingement. The 26-year-old carries a 6.32 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through 31.1 innings in the majors this season and most likely won't make another appearance for the White Sox over the final eight games of the year.

The White Sox reinstated Soroka (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Soroka has been on the injured list since mid-July due to a strained right shoulder, but he's been cleared to return to the Pale Hose after giving up three earned runs across nine innings during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte. The 27-year-old has struggled in his first year with Chicago, posting a 5.23 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, but a lack of depth in the Chicago bullpen will keep him in a middle-relief role. Chad Kuhl was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Rangers recalled Garabito from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Garabito was sent out to the minors Friday, but he will now return to the big club to replace Max Scherzer (hamstring), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Garabito holds a 4.88 ERA through 24 innings in the majors this year, though he's allowed eight earned runs over his last 6.1 frames and will most likely be limited to low-leverage work until he bounces back.

The Cardinals recalled Leahy from Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Leahy owns a 4.02 ERA and 1.02 WHIP through 47 innings with the Cardinals this season, and he's given up just one earned run across 5.2 Triple-A frames since making his last MLB appearance Sept. 6. He'll come up to give the Cards some additional bullpen depth as Sonny Gray (forearm) heads to the IL.

Trivino (elbow) agreed in mid-September to extend his minor-league rehab assignment an additional 10 days, per MLB.com.

Trivino continues to work his way back from Tommy John surgery performed last May and a bout of right elbow inflammation that sprung up this April. Though he has a 4.91 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 11 rehab appearances, the veteran reliever has pitched three consecutive scoreless outings during which he's posted a 3:3 K:BB over 3.2 innings. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sept. 14 that Trivino has been "building a lot of good momentum," and there's still a chance the right-hander could join the New York bullpen before the end of the season.
