Aroldis Chapman RP | BOS
Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Secures one-out save
Chapman struck out the only batter he faced and earned a save against Minnesota on Tuesday.
Chapman made his first appearance since dealing with back tightness against the Dodgers on Sunday. He showed no signs of injury in Tuesday's short outing; the veteran southpaw struck out Mickey Gasper on three pitches, ending with a 101 mph sinker. Chapman owns an outstanding 1.29 ERA and 62:13 K:BB through 42 frames. He's converted 19 of his 21 save chances this season.

Kolby Allard RP | CLE
Guardians' Kolby Allard: Starting bullpen game Wednesday
Allard will start Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
Allard has been enjoying a career season in 2025, posting a 2.83 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 41.1 innings in 21 appearances (one start). The 27-year-old southpaw had started in all four of his appearances for Triple-A Columbus prior to being recalled July 9, but since he hasn't covered more than three innings in an appearance since late May, he's unlikely to work deep enough into Wednesday's game to qualify for a win.

Aroldis Chapman RP | BOS
Red Sox's Aroldis Chapman: Available Tuesday
Manager Alex Cora said Chapman (back) is available to pitch Tuesday against the Twins, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
The veteran left-hander was unavailable for Monday after exiting Sunday's game due to back tightness, but he's been cleared to take the mound after playing catch prior to Tuesday's contest. Chapman has surrendered just one earned run in his past 22 appearances, and he's converted 10 of 11 save chances with a 33:5 K:BB during that stretch.

Huascar Brazoban RP | NYM
Mets' Huascar Brazoban: Demoted to Triple-A
The Mets optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse following Monday night's game.
Brazoban came on in relief of Frankie Montas during the fifth inning of Monday's game against the Padres, inheriting runners on second and third with one out and a 5-3 lead. While he eventually recorded the last two outs of the inning, Brazoban allowed three hits and a walk, which led to the Padres taking the lead with their sixth run of the game. In a corresponding move, the Mets re-signed Chris Devenski to the active roster Tuesday.

Chris Devenski RP | PIT
Mets' Chris Devenski: Re-signed by Mets
The Mets signed Devenski to a one-year major-league contract Tuesday.
Devenski rejoins the Mets after being designated for assignment by them July 22. He had elected free agency Saturday, but the Mets resigned him Tuesday after they optioned Huascar Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

Elvin Rodriguez RP | ARI
Orioles' Elvin Rodriguez: Up from minors
The Orioles recalled Rodriguez from Double-A Chesapeake on Tuesday.
Rodriguez has thrown 2.2 innings of one-run ball with the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate since joining the organization in mid-July. He'll now join the big-league bullpen for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, though he will almost certainly be limited to low-leverage outings after turning in an 8.68 ERA in 18.2 innings with the Brewers. Yaramil Hiraldo was optioned to Double-A in a corresponding move.

Chad Green RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Chad Green: Pushed off 40-man roster
The Blue Jays designated Green for assignment Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Green will end up as the odd man out of a spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters in Toronto following the acquisition of Seranthony Dominguez from Baltimore on Tuesday. Green has regressed considerably from last season, posting a 4.85 ERA and 1.41 WHIP alongside a 34:13 K:BB through 42.2 innings.

Tanner Scott RP | LAD
Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Resumes throwing
Manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Scott (elbow) has begun a throwing progression, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Scott still has several hurdles to clear before he can come off the injured list, but his return to throwing is a positive sign nonetheless. The 31-year-old reliever landed on the IL last Tuesday with elbow inflammation and remains without a clear return timeline, though he's still expected back in the Dodgers' bullpen before the end of the year.

Austin Adams RP | BOS
Austin Adams: Released by Red Sox
The Red Sox released Adams on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Adams was activated by Triple-A Worcester on April 22, but he was unable to find much success. In 24 appearances, he had a 9.13 ERA with a 34:21 K:BB across 23.2 innings. After playing in at least 32 games in 2023 and 2024, he has yet to crack the big leagues in 2025.
