  • Austin Warren RP | NYM

    Mets' Austin Warren: Sent down to Triple-A

    The Mets optioned Warren to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

    After starter Frankie Montas was tagged for seven earned runs in four innings in Sunday's 12-4 loss to the Giants, Warren stepped in admirably to save the New York bullpen from overuse. He struck out five over four shutout frames in relief, but because he was unlikely to be available for at least a couple of days following the 58-pitch appearance, he'll be swapped out in favor of a fresh arm. Right-hander Dom Hamel was called up from Syracuse to replace Warren in the bullpen.

  • Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Resumes rehab with sharp outing

    Gipson-Long (neck) tossed three scoreless innings in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Friday. He hit a batter and struck out five.

    Other than hitting the one batter, Gipson-Long kept the opponent of the base paths and looked sharp in the outing, during which he tossed 42 pitches. The righty had last appeared for Toledo on July 18, but he was pulled off his rehab assignment after he reported continued neck stiffness plus general fatigue coming out of that start. Following a few weeks off, Gipson-Long appears to be rounding into form, and he could return for the Tigers later this month, though it remains to be seen what his role might be with the team.

  • Elijah Morgan RP | CHC

    Cubs' Eli Morgan: Making progress in rehab

    Morgan (elbow) has built back up to throwing off a mound, but he's without a definitive target date for a return from the 60-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

    Morgan is dealing with a right elbow impingement, which has kept him out since the middle of April. After beginning a rehab assignment in June, the veteran reliever suffered a setback, and he's been slowly building himself back up since then. While his ability to throw off a mound is a good sign, Morgan doesn't appear particularly close to returning from the 60-day injured list.

  • Jose Cuas RP | KC

    Jose Cuas: Heads to open market

    Atlanta released Cuas on Monday.

    Cuas made 13 relief appearances in the majors in 2024 between stops with the Cubs and Blue Jays, but he's pitched exclusively in the minors in 2025 as a member of the Philadelphia and Atlanta organizations. After being cut loose by Philadelphia in May, Cuas quickly caught on with Atlanta and reported to Double-A Columbus, where he had logged a 3.22 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 23:18 K:BB in 22.1 innings over 18 relief appearances.

  • Travis Adams P | MIN

    Twins' Travis Adams: Drawing start Monday

    Adams will start Monday's game in Detroit, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    All four of Adams' appearances to this point at the major-league level have come in relief, but he has gone at least 3.1 innings in three of those outings, including during his last appearance July 27. While Adams may not be in line for a traditional start Monday, he's stretched out to provide anywhere from 3-to-4 innings before turning the game over to the bullpen.

  • Giants' Joey Lucchesi: Scoreless outing Sunday

    Lucchesi threw a scoreless inning in Sunday's 12-4 win over the Mets, allowing two hits while striking out one.

    Lucchesi delivered a bounce-back performance after surrendering two earned runs on just 11 pitches over one-third of an inning during Friday's win over the Mets. While it took the 32-year-old 23 pitches to escape the inning Sunday, he stranded two Mets runners. He now owns a 2.41 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and an 18:3 K:BB across 18.2 innings in 18 outings this season.

  • Diamondbacks' Anthony DeSclafani: Receiving another start

    DeSclafani is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Padres at Chase Field.

    After working out of the bullpen in each of his previous three appearances, DeSclafani joined the Arizona rotation this past weekend as a replacement for Merrill Kelly, who was shipped to the Rangers ahead of the trade deadline. While making his first start for Arizona since July 6 on Friday in Sacramento, DeSclafani was dealt a loss while giving up four earned runs on five hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against the Athletics. Despite the rough showing, DeSclafani will get at least one more chance to solidify his spot in the Arizona rotation. Another poor outing, however, could prompt the Diamondbacks to go in a different direction with their No. 5 starter.

  • Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Secures 14th save

    Iglesias gave up two hits and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Sunday to record his 14th save of the season in a win over the Reds.

    Atlanta surprisingly didn't move Iglesias at the trade deadline despite an overheated market for late-inning relievers, and he's rewarded the team by collecting saves in back-to-back appearances since. The veteran right-hander has been scored upon only twice in his last 22 outings, posting a 2.18 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB through 20.2 innings over that stretch while converting six of seven save chances.

  • Hunter Harvey RP | CHC

    Royals' Hunter Harvey: Earns first win

    Harvey (1-0) earned the win Sunday against the Blue Jays. He allowed a hit and no walks while striking out one over a scoreless inning.

    Harvey pitched a clean ninth inning to send the game to extras, where a Royals offensive outburst secured him the win. The right-hander missed more than three months with a shoulder injury but has been excellent when available. Since being activated July 27, he has logged 3.1 scoreless innings, improving his season totals to a 0.00 ERA and 0.46 WHIP over 8.2 innings across 10 appearances. While the sample size remains small, it is worth noting that Harvey's fastball velocity has dipped to a career-low 95.9 mph, but he has yet to issue a walk.

  • Clayton Beeter RP | WAS

    Nationals' Clayton Beeter: Expected to be recalled

    The Nationals will recall Beeter from Triple-A Rochester, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

    Acquired from the Yankees in the Amed Rosario trade, Beeter has had an uneven 2025 season. He's been rocked for six runs with a 1:4 K:BB over 3.2 innings at the big-league level and held a 3.70 ERA and 40:20 K:BB over 24.1 frames during his time at Triple-A. The Nationals have a lot of uncertainty in their bullpen right now, so Beeter could work his way into a high-leverage role if he's able to throw enough strikes.
