  • Nick Pivetta SP | SD

    Red Sox's Nick Pivetta: Logs quality start

    Pivetta did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits over 6.1 innings against Toronto. He struck out six.

    It's the first time Pivetta pitched six or more innings since July 31. Since rejoining the Red Sox rotation earlier this month, he's gone 0-2 with a 4.41 ERA and 21 strikeouts in three starts covering 16.1 innings. The 30-year-old Pivetta will likely finish out the season as a starter with James Paxton (knee) sidelined. He's currently slated for a home matchup with the White Sox in his next outing.

  • David Bednar RP | NYY

    Pirates' David Bednar: Strikes out three for 36th save

    Bednar picked up the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Yankees. He allowed one hit while striking out three in a scoreless inning.

    Bednar's now gone nine consecutive innings without allowing an earned run, striking out 10 in that span, while converting his last 14 save opportunities. The 28-year-old right-hander is now 36-for-39 in save chances this season with a pristine 1.86 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 72:4 K:BB across 63 innings.

  • Bryce Jarvis RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Back in big leagues

    Jarvis was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Jarvis has a 2.81 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 7:8 K:BB across 16 innings this season, so it's not a major surprise he'll receive another look in the big-league bullpen. Scott McGough (shoulder) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Scott McGough RP | ATH

    Diamondbacks' Scott McGough: Out with shoulder inflammation

    McGough was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    McGough presumably picked up the injury during his last appearance Thursday, when the Mets tagged him for three earned runs over two-thirds of an inning. The veteran right-hander will be eligible to be activated during the final series of the regular season, but he's not guaranteed to be healthy by that point given that he's dealing with an arm issue.

  • Drey Jameson RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Drey Jameson: Needs Tommy John surgery

    Manager Torey Lovullo announced Sunday that Jameson (elbow) will require Tommy John surgery, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    The right-hander elected for the rest-and-rehab route after being diagnosed with a UCL strain in late July, but he'll end up needing Tommy John surgery. Jameson had a 3.32 ERA over 40.2 innings this season but is now likely to be sidelined until 2025 given the typical 12-to-18 month recovery timeline for the procedure.

  • Chase Silseth RP | TEX

    Angels' Chase Silseth: Making rehab start Sunday

    Silseth (concussion) is making a rehab start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    The right-hander continues to work his way back from the concussion he suffered on a cross-infield throw in late August, and his return to game action is a strong indication he's close to rejoining the Angels. If he requires only the one rehab start, Silseth could be back in the Halos' rotation next weekend in Minnesota.

  • Dylan Lee RP | ATL

    Braves' Dylan Lee: Shifts to 60-day IL

    Lee (shoulder) was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

    The left-hander landed on the shelf with shoulder inflammation last week, and his move to the 60-day IL officially ends his season. Lee was a decent bullpen piece for Atlanta in 2023 with a 4.18 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB across 23.2 innings.

  • Jimmy Herget RP | COL

    Angels' Jimmy Herget: Opening Sunday

    Herget will start Sunday's game against the Tigers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Scheduled starter Reid Detmers was scratched due to an illness Sunday, so Herget will end up serving as an opener. Kenny Rosenberg will enter after Herget works an inning or two.

  • Angels' Kenny Rosenberg: Set to work as bulk pitcher

    Rosenberg is expected to pitch behind opener Jimmy Herget against the Tigers on Sunday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Rosenberg lined up to pitch during the upcoming three-game set against the Rays, but he'll instead take the mound Sunday after Reid Detmers was scratched with an illness. The 28-year-old Rosenberg has a 4.50 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB across 18 innings this season.

  • Shelby Miller RP | CHC

    Dodgers' Shelby Miller: Working as opener Sunday

    Miller will start Sunday's game against the Mariners, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Miller will make his first start since 2019 as he serves as an opener for the series finale in Seattle. The veteran right-hander has a 2.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB across 36 frames this season and should cover an inning or two Sunday. Ryan Yarbrough and Gavin Stone are poised to follow Miller as Los Angeles' bulk pitchers, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.
