  • Matt Krook RP | WAS

    Yankees' Matt Krook: Shuffled back to minors

    Krook was returned to Triple-A Scranton/Wikes-Barre after Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    Krook was called up to provide depth to the Yankees' bullpen, and he worked 1.1 innings in the opening game of the doubleheader. That outing was his second appearance in the majors, and he could return to work low-leverage relief innings in the second half of the campaign.

  • Michael King SP | SD

    Yankees' Michael King: Secures win in Game 2

    King (2-4) allowed a hit and struck out two without walking a batter over 3.1 innings of relief to earn the win in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

    King covered the most innings of the six pitchers the Yankees deployed in a bullpen game. He's no stranger to longer relief outings -- he's gone past an inning in 20 of his 27 appearances on the year, though Saturday's effort was his longest of the season. King now has a 2.84 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 48:14 K:BB through 44.1 innings overall while adding five saves and three holds. He remains in the mix for some high-leverage work, but his ability to go multiple innings makes him a versatile part of the New York bullpen.

  • Paul Sewald RP | TOR

    Mariners' Paul Sewald: Logs five-out save

    Sewald allowed a hit and struck out three over 1.2 scoreless innings to earn the save in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Rays.

    Justin Topa worked into a jam in the eighth inning, but Sewald got a double play to escape it after allowing an inherited runner to score. This was Sewald's longest outing of the year, though he was efficient, needing just 17 pitches (15 strikes) to get the five outs. The Mariners' closer is up to 15 saves in 18 chances with a 2.70 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 45:11 K:BB through 33.1 innings.

  • Peter Lambert SP | HOU

    Rockies' Peter Lambert: Starting bullpen game

    Lambert will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the Tigers, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

    The Rockies will be utilizing their bullpen to get through the game, but Lambert will start the contest. He has pitched as many as 3.1 innings this season, though both of his most recent outings have lasted only one frame. He's unlikely to work deep enough into the game to qualify for the win.

  • Ian Hamilton RP | ATL

    Yankees' Ian Hamilton: Opening against Cardinals

    Hamilton will serve as the opener for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    The Yankees will use their bullpen to get through the second game of the doubleheader. Hamilton has pitched as many as three innings in an outing this season, though he has made only one appearance -- he threw one inning -- since returning from a six-week absence in late June.

  • Shawn Dubin RP | ARI

    Astros' Shawn Dubin: Set for Sunday's start

    Dubin will start Sunday's game against the Rangers, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Dubin made his big-league debut June 18 and has pitched twice in relief. He's worked multiple innings on both occasions, though he may not pitch long enough to be eligible for a win. Dubin's effectiveness will also be a question, as he has allowed six earned runs across five major-league innings.

  • Brendan White RP | SEA

    Tigers' Brendan White: Starting in bullpen game

    White will start on the mound for the Tigers on Saturday against Colorado, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Saturday will mark the first start of White's MLB career -- and his first start at any level since 2021 with High-A West Michigan. The 24-year-old righty holds a 5.23 ERA and 1.16 WHIP on the season through 10.1 innings, and he will likely only remain on the mound for an inning or two Saturday.

  • Jalen Beeks RP | TEX

    Rays' Jalen Beeks: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Rays recalled Beeks from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    With Shane McClanahan (back) landing on the injured list Saturday, Beeks will be called upon to replace McClanahan on the Rays' pitching staff. Beeks has made seven starts this year -- though most of his work has come out of the bullpen -- and holds a 5.82 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through 34 innings.

  • Justin Bruihl RP | STL

    Dodgers' Justin Bruihl: Sent to Triple-A

    Bruihl was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    Bruihl will be the player to make way as Julio Urias (hamstring) returns from the injured list. His latest stint on the big-league roster lasted just two days, but he got into a game in both of them, scattering three hits across three scoreless innings. Bruihl owns a 3.72 ERA and 15:3 K:BB in 19.1 major-league innings this season.

  • George Soriano RP | STL

    Marlins' George Soriano: Back in big leagues

    Soriano was recalled by the Marlins on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Soriano is now on his third stint with the big-league club this season. During his previous time with the team, he recorded a 2.70 ERA in 10 innings despite a modest 6:4 K:BB. Archie Bradley was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
