  • Christian Roa SP | HOU

    Marlins' Christian Roa: Brought back up to big club

    Miami recalled Roa from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

    Roa's return to the Marlins was spurred by fellow reliever Tyler Phillips landing on the paternity list. Phillips is allowed up to three days away from the team, so Roa's time with the big-league squad may be short. Roa has just one appearance with Miami this year, allowing one hit and one walk with three strikeouts over two scoreless innings against Philadelphia on Sept. 6.

    Marlins' Tyler Phillips: Placed on paternity list

    The Marlins placed Phillips on the paternity list Saturday.

    Phillips will take at least a day (and no more than three) to be with his growing family. To fill his spot on the 26-man roster and in the bullpen, the Marlins recalled right-handed reliever Christian Roa from Triple-A Jacksonville.

  • Joey Lucchesi SP | LAA

    Giants' Joey Lucchesi: Tosses scoreless outing Friday

    Lucchesi threw a scoreless inning in Friday's 5-1 extra-inning victory over the Dodgers, hitting one batter and striking out one.

    Lucchesi threw eight of his 17 pitches for strikes while retiring three of the four batters he faced. He hasn't allowed a run in nine consecutive outings. The left-hander owns a 2.94 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB across 33.2 innings in 33 appearances this season.

  • Liam Hendriks RP | MIN

    Red Sox's Liam Hendriks: Shut down from throwing

    The Red Sox pulled Hendriks (hip) off his throwing program Saturday after he experienced tightness in his forearm, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    A hip injury sent Hendriks to the injured list in late May, and now that he's been shut down from throwing, he'll almost certainly remain sidelined for the rest of the year. The 36-year-old righty will finish 2025 with a 6.59 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 13.2 innings.

  • Dominic Hamel RP | NYY

    Mets' Dom Hamel: Back in Queens

    The Mets recalled Hamel from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

    Since his demotion to Triple-A in August, Hamel has posted a 7.53 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 14.1 innings. Despite his recent performance, he'll rejoin the big club to provide depth out of the bullpen, replacing Huascar Brazoban.

  • Mets' Huascar Brazoban: Back in minors

    The Mets optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

    After pitching 3.1 shutout innings Friday, Brazoban will be sent back to the minors in favor of a fresh arm in the form of Dom Hamel. The 35-year-old Brazoban owns a 3.67 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with the Mets this season, which helps his chances of returning to Queens before the end of the regular season.

  • Eric Orze RP | MIN

    Rays' Eric Orze: Back in minors

    The Rays optioned Orze to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Orze pitched two innings over two appearances after being recalled from Triple-A on Thursday, giving up two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two batters. He'll now be sent back to the minors while Tampa Bay brings in a fresh arm in the form of Garrett Acton.

  • Garrett Acton RP | MIA

    Rays' Garrett Acton: Contract selected

    The Rays selected Acton's contract from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

    Acton has spent the entire season at Durham, where he owns a 3.64 ERA and 1.11 WHIP to go with a 67:24 K:BB through 54.1 innings. He'll now join an MLB bullpen for the first time since 2023 as a replacement for Eric Orze, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

  • Jayden Murray SP | HOU

    Astros' Jayden Murray: Sharp as opener Friday

    Murray didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-3 rout of Atlanta, allowing one hit over three scoreless innings. He struck out one without walking a batter.

    Making just his third big-league appearance, Murray faced one batter over the minimum as the opener while tossing an efficient 32 of 40 pitches for strikes. The Astros currently have only four healthy starting pitchers and seemingly no help coming from either Triple-A or the injured list, so they could be turning to their well-stocked bullpen every fifth turn through the rotation, with Murray likely to be part of that equation. The 28-year-old righty hasn't given up a run in his first 5.1 MLB innings, and Friday's third-inning single by Marcell Ozuna was the first baserunner he'd allowed.

  • Dylan Smith P | DET

    Tigers' Dylan Smith: Back from IL

    Smith (shoulder) struck out two and allowed one earned run on one hit and one walk over one inning Wednesday in a relief appearance for Triple-A Toledo after being activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

    Smith had been on the shelf at Toledo since the All-Star break due to a right shoulder strain before rejoining the Triple-A bullpen upon completing a six-appearance rehab assignment between the Florida State and Midwest Leagues. The 25-year-old righty possesses a spot on the Tigers' 40-man roster and could be a candidate for a promotion in the final two weeks of the season if Detroit has a need for another bullpen arm.
