  • White Sox's Jordan Leasure: Records sixth save

    Leasure picked up the save in a 4-3 win over the Twins on Wednesday, allowing one hit and one walk with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Leasure turned in his sixth save of the season, and it was also his fourth consecutive scoreless outing. The right-hander had a 4.62 ERA for the year through July 28, but he's been exceptional out of the Chicago bullpen since the start of August. Over his last 14 innings, Leasure has a 2.57 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 22:4 K:BB with four saves to enhance his ERA to 4.08 for the campaign.

  • Drew Pomeranz RP | LAA

    Cubs' Drew Pomeranz: Another poor outing Wednesday

    Pomeranz allowed two runs on three hits while only retiring two batters in relief during Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Atlanta.

    Pomeranz came on in the top of the seventh inning with two runners on and Chicago up 1-0, and the lefty promptly served up a three-run home run. That saddled Ben Brown with the loss in relief, though it was certainly a discouraging outing for Pomeranz, who has allowed two runs on three hits in two of his last three appearances. Despite the hiccup, the veteran still has a tidy 2.45 ERA on the season, and his track record this year suggests he'll be able to get back on track.

  • Dennis Santana RP | PIT

    Pirates' Dennis Santana: Grabs 13th save

    Santana earned the save in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over the Dodgers, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

    Santana's now 13-for-15 in save opportunities this season while converting his last seven chances, and he's given up just two earned runs over 11 appearances in that stretch. His ERA is down to 2.40 with a 0.92 WHIP and 49:15 K:BB across 60 innings this year.

  • Yennier Cano RP | BAL

    Orioles' Yennier Cano: Grabs second save

    Cano earned the save in Wednesday's 7-5 win over San Diego, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

    Cano was sharp Wednesday, striking out a pair to lock down his second save this season, his first since July 5. The 31-year-old Cano has pitched better of late, allowing just one run in his last six appearances (5.2 innings) to reclaim a high-leverage role in Baltimore's bullpen. Overall, his ERA sits at 5.07 with a 1.45 WHIP and 47:22 K:BB across 49.2 innings this season.

  • Ryan Rolison RP | CHC

    Rockies' Ryan Rolison: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Rockies optioned Rolison to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

    Rolison was recalled from Albuquerque on Monday when the Rockies' active roster expanded from 26 to 28 men, but he'll end up heading back to the minors just two days later after Colorado needed to make room for waiver-wire pickup Roansy Contreras. The left-handed Rolison has made 27 appearances (one start) for Colorado this season, logging a 7.15 ERA and 1.82 WHIP over 39 innings.

  • John Rooney RP | TB

    Astros' John Rooney: Shifts to 60-day IL

    The Astros transferred Rooney (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Elbow inflammation sent Rooney to the injured list last week, and moving to the 60-day IL will officially put an end to his regular season. The 28-year-old turned in a 2.56 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 38.2 innings in Triple-A and gave up one run in 1.1 frames during his MLB debut. Jayden Murray was selected to the active roster in a corresponding move.

  • Jackson Kowar RP | BAL

    Mariners' Jackson Kowar: Option reversed, lands on IL

    The Mariners recalled Kowar from Triple-A Tacoma and placed him on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right shoulder impingement, retroactive to Aug. 19.

    Kowar was sent down to Triple-A in mid-August but hasn't pitched for Tacoma since being demoted. Now dealing with a shoulder issue, the 28-year-old will return to the big-league club to rehab his injury. He'll be eligible to return from the IL as soon as he's healthy, but there's currently no telling how close he is to activation.

  • Grant Anderson RP | MIL

    Brewers' Grant Anderson: Slated for rehab assignment

    Anderson (ankle) is slated to pitch one inning in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Anderson landed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 25 due to right ankle tendinitis, but the 28-year-old reliever is progressing well in his recovery and shouldn't require an extended stay on the shelf. Before being deactivated, Anderson posted a 2.87 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 66:27 K:BB across 62.2 innings this season.

  • Ryan Brasier RP | TEX

    Cubs' Ryan Brasier: Cleared for rehab assignment

    Brasier (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Brasier has missed the last couple weeks of action after tweaking his groin, but he's ready to test things out in a game setting. Because the absence has been brief, Brasier shouldn't require more than one or two rehab outings before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

  • Max Lazar P | PHI

    Phillies' Max Lazar: Back up in majors

    The Phillies recalled Lazar from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

    Lazar will join the Philadelphia bullpen as a replacement for Daniel Robert (forearm), who was placed on the injured list. The right-handed Lazar has made 28 relief appearances for the Phillies in 2025, posting a 4.78 while managing just 21 strikeouts over 32 frames.
