Selby was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

Selby has a 4.24 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 26 strikeouts and four saves in 17 innings for Norfolk. The 26-year-old righty has good stuff and was acquired by Baltimore from Kansas City in July for cash.

Burr is opening Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Burr has not given up a run while notching eight strikeouts in 4.1 innings while working as an opener this season. Ryan Yarbrough could come in to log some bulk innings after Burr exits.

Gilbert was optioned to the Phillies' spring training complex Sunday.

Gilbert logged a 3.24 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and four strikeouts in 8.1 innings across six appearances for the big club. He was unlikely to be used Sunday, so the Phillies opted to summon a bench bat (Buddy Kennedy) for the final game of the regular season.

Dubin was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

Dubin logged a 4.17 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 49 strikeouts, two saves and one win in 45.1 innings for the big club this year. He pitched a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts and a save Saturday, so Dubin may have been optioned simply because he wasn't going to be used Sunday.

Castillo was designated for assignment Sunday.

He loses his spot on the 40-man roster on the final day of the season and will be a free agent this offseason. Castillo walked more batters (eight) than he struck out (six) in the big leagues this season and last recorded a save in 2022 with Seattle.

The Yankees reinstated Leiter from the paternity list Sunday.

Leiter will be available out of the bullpen for the Yankees' regular-season finale against the Pirates. The 33-year-old reliever has a 4.58 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 83:20 K:BB over 57 innings this season.

Yates picked up the save over the Angels on Saturday, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Yates took the mound with a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth and retired the side on just nine pitches to secure his 33rd save of the campaign. The veteran reliever has been spectacular in the month of September, recording eight saves while allowing just one hit over 9.1 scoreless innings (10 appearances). He's also issued just one walk over his last four outings.

Miller was charged with his third blown save of the season in an extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Saturday, allowing two earned runs on two hits over one inning. He struck out three.

Miller surrendered a game-tying, two-run home run to Luke Raley in the bottom of the ninth inning. The blown save was the right-hander's first since June 14, and the pair of earned runs snapped a four-appearance scoreless streak. Despite the stumble, Miller heads into the final day of the 2024 campaign basking in a breakout season that's seen him accrue 28 saves alongside a 2-2 record, 2.49 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and elite 14.4 K/9 across 65 innings (55 appearances).

Burrows (1-0) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks while striking out two to earn the win Saturday against the Yankees.

Burrows followed Paul Skenes into the game to make his major-league debut. Despite his final line, he began 11 of the 14 batters he faced with a strike and managed to throw 60 percent of his pitches over the plate. Most importantly, he has proved healthy and capable of handling a normal workload across the second half of the season after returning from Tommy John surgery. That should put him in a position to compete for a rotation spot in 2025.

Madden allowed three runs on four hits and a walk across three innings of relief during Saturday's 4-0 loss to the White Sox. He struck out two.

Opener Beau Brieske was tagged with the loss for allowing just a single run, but Madden didn't help matters during his uneven relief appearance. The 24-year-old righty had a sharp 2.55 ERA over his first four outings following his first MLB promotion in late August, but he now has a 10.12 ERA over his last two games. The Tigers are headed to the postseason and have some decisions to make with their pitching staff, so it remains to be seen if Madden makes the playoff roster and gets to pitch again during his rookie campaign.
