    Nationals' Jose Ferrer: Hangs on for 11th save

    Ferrer earned the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the White Sox, allowing a run on three hits while striking out three in the ninth inning.

    While Ferrer managed to hang on for his 11th save, it certainly didn't come easy for the left-hander -- Ferrer's now given up at least one run in five of his last six appearances, allowing eight earned runs on 14 hits across seven innings in that span. Overall, the 25-year-old Ferrer sports a 4.48 ERA with a 1.27 WHIP and 71 strikeouts over 76.1 innings this season.

  • Sammy Peralta RP | MIL

    Angels' Sammy Peralta: Called up Saturday

    Peralta was called up from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

    Peralta will return to the major-league bullpen following a demotion Monday, replacing Luis Garcia (oblique) after he was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Peralta owns an inflated 8.38 ERA and 2.07 WHIP with seven strikeouts over 9.2 innings in four appearances with the Angels in September.

  • Luis Garcia RP | NYM

    Angels' Luis Garcia: Season over

    Garcia (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to Sept. 25.

    Garcia is dealing with a left oblique strain, and he will now be forced to miss the team's final two contests of the 2025 campaign. Left-hander Sammy Peralta was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake to replace Garcia in the major-league bullpen Saturday.

  • Will Vest RP | DET

    Tigers' Will Vest: Picks up 23rd save

    Vest earned the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    Vest's turned in three straight scoreless innings after giving up five earned runs over 1.2 frames in the two outings prior. The 30-year-old right-hander has converted 23 of 30 save chances overall this season while posting a 3.01 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 75:22 K:BB across 68.2 innings.

  • Will Klein RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Will Klein: Dispatched to ACL

    The Dodgers optioned Klein to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.

    Klein pitched 4.2 shutout innings after being recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 19, but he'll lose his place in Los Angeles' bullpen to make room for the newly promoted Andrew Heaney. Klein has turned in a 2.35 ERA over 15.1 innings for the Dodgers this season, making him a candidate to contribute at some point during the team's postseason run.

  • Astros' AJ Blubaugh: Returning to starting role Saturday

    Blubaugh is slated to start Saturday's game against the Angels in Anaheim, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    The rookie right-hander has handled a versatile role for the Astros down the stretch, as he'll be making his second start in September after having yet to yield a run while striking out 17 and scattering five hits and four walks across 14 innings. Though he'll be taking the hill Saturday on six days' rest, Blubaugh may not be stretched out enough to reach the five innings he would need to qualify for a win. Most likely, the Astros will plan for an abbreviated start for Blubaugh before turning to a slew of higher-leverage bullpen arms to close out the contest as Houston looks to remain alive in the AL wild-card race.

  • Jacob Latz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob Latz: Making start Saturday

    Latz is slated to start Saturday's game against the Guardians in Cleveland.

    With the Rangers recently welcoming Tyler Mahle back from the injured list, Latz had shifted to the bullpen following his most recent start Sept. 14 against the Mets. He has since made a pair of relief appearances, but Latz will be back in a starting role as the season winds down while the Rangers having shifted to a six-man rotation since being eliminated from playoff contention. Through 32 appearances (seven starts) on the campaign, Latz has gone 2-0 with a 2.80 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 70:37 K:BB in 80.1 innings.

  • Casey Legumina RP | SEA

    Mariners' Casey Legumina: Optioned to ACL

    The Mariners optioned Legumina to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.

    Legumina will give up his spot in the Mariners' bullpen for Logan Evans (elbow), who returned from the injured list Saturday. Assuming he's thrown his last pitch in the majors this year, Legumina will close the book on 2025 with a 5.62 ERA and 1.45 WHIP alongside a 55:25 K:BB across 49.2 innings.

  • Dominic Hamel RP | NYY

    Rangers' Dom Hamel: Claimed by Rangers

    The Rangers claimed Hamel off waivers from the Orioles on Saturday and optioned him to the Arizona Complex League.

    Hamel will join his third organization this month after having previously been waived by the Mets and Orioles. The 26-year-old righty tossed a scoreless inning against the Padres during his MLB debut Sept. 17 but finished the Triple-A season with a 5.32 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 67.2 frames. Marcus Semien (foot) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

  • Jordan Wicks SP | CHC
