Strickland (shoulder) is progressing in his recovery from a right shoulder strain but isn't yet throwing, per MLB.com.

The details of how Strickland is "progressing" aren't clear, but it's nonetheless the first positive report on the reliever since he landed on the IL with a right shoulder strain July 7. While the injury was considered significant, it didn't require surgery, and there remains a possibility that Strickland could be back with the Angels sometime in September. However, in order for that to happen, he'll likely need to begin a throwing progression in the relatively near future.

White (hip) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

White has been on the injured list since Aug. 19, one day after making his third appearance in the majors this season. It's unclear if he'll stick in the White Sox's bullpen upon his activation.

Romero allowed one hit and no walks with no strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning for the save Thursday against Pittsburgh.

Romero picked up his fifth save of the season, and each of which have come following the trade of Ryan Helsley. Riley O'Brien worked a clean eighth inning for a hold, and Romero should continue sharing ninth-inning work with O'Brien based on matchups to finish out the campaign. Romero owns a 2.25 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 45:22 K:BB over 48 innings in 2025.

Faucher struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Faucher took care of business on a tidy seven pitches (six strikes) to secure his second save in as many outings. It's been an uneven August for the right-hander -- he's taken two losses while adding three saves and a hold, and he's given up four runs (two earned) over 10 innings. On the year, he's 13-for-18 in save chances with six holds, a 3.35 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB through 51 innings. Faucher looks to still have the edge over Ronny Henriquez for save chances, though the Marlins haven't produced a lot of those opportunities this month.

Abreu notched the save Thursday against Colorado, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

Abreu secured his fourth save of the year and extended his scoreless streak to 13 innings. With Josh Hader (shoulder) likely to be out until the playoffs, Abreu has established a fairly strong grip on Houston's closer gig. The veteran right-hander has a 1.47 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 93:25 K:BB over 61.1 innings.

Ashcraft didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Ashcraft turned in his third consecutive start of at least five innings while yielding one run or zero. With Andrew Heaney having been designated for assignment by the Pirates, Ashcraft has a fairly clear path to a starting role in the rotation to wrap up the season. The rookie right-hander has a promising 2.58 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB across his first 52.1 innings, though a scheduled matchup against the Dodgers next week might curb his streaming appeal a bit for his next turn.

Manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Loaisiga (elbow) will miss the remainder of the season due to a right flexor strain, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

The 30-year-old righty will conclude the year with a 4.25 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 29.2 innings. Although Loaisiga's season was cut short by an injury, he reportedly won't need to undergo surgery to address the issue, which significantly boosts his chances of being available for the start of the 2026 campaign.

Crismatt (2-0) earned the win Thursday over the Brewers, allowing four runs (two earned) on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out two.

Crismatt stumbled out of the gate Thursday, giving up at least one run in each of his first three innings. However, the right-hander managed to limit the damage against the Brewers, ultimately coming away with his second win in three appearances this season. The 30-year-old Crismatt has surrendered just three earned runs through his first 14.2 innings despite allowing 15 hits and five walks. He should remain in Arizona's rotation while Anthony DeSclafani (thumb) is sidelined. Crismatt's currently lined up to face the Rangers at home in his next outing.

Matz worked around a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Orioles.

With Aroldis Chapman having pitched twice in Boston's last three games, it was Matz who was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning. The southpaw would surrender a leadoff double to Dylan Carlson, though he'd be erased on a fielder's choice as Matz cruised to his second career big-league save. The 34-year-old Matz has been impressive out of the bullpen since joining the Red Sox at the trade deadline, allowing just one run on six hits through his first 11.1 innings.

Single-A San Jose placed Jordan on its 7-day injured list Aug. 12 due to an unspecified injury.

A fourth-round draft pick in 2024, Jordan had been in the midst of an excellent first full season in professional ball before landing on the shelf. The 22-year-old outfielder maintained a .310/.378/.500 slash line with 14 home runs and 27 stolen bases over 410 plate appearances in 87 games with San Jose.
