  • Travis Adams P | MIN

    Twins' Travis Adams: Sent back to St. Paul

    The Twins optioned Adams to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

    The transaction comes one day after Adams was roughed up for five earned runs over 3.1 innings during an extended relief outing Sunday against the Nationals. The Twins will announce a corresponding roster move prior to Monday's game against the Red Sox.

  • Braves' Hunter Stratton: Sent back to minors

    Atlanta optioned Stratton to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

    He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Erick Fedde, who has officially reported to the team after being acquired via trade with the Cardinals on Sunday. Stratton made one appearance during his brief time with Atlanta, tossing two-thirds of a scoreless inning despite yielding one hit, one walk and one hit batsman.

  • Royals' Carlos Estevez: Nails down save No. 27

    Estevez picked up the save Sunday against Cleveland, allowing one hit with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.

    Estevez is back on track after a rough three-appearance stretch in which he yielded five runs and blew three saves over 2.1 innings, as he hasn't allowed a run in three appearances since. The 33-year-old has a 2.62 ERA in 44.2 innings, and his 27 saves are tied for the second most in baseball.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: First loss of 2025

    Cantillo (2-1) took the loss Sunday against Kansas City, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks with four strikeouts over four innings.

    The Guardians have deployed Cantillo as a starter in July, and he took his first loss of the campaign Sunday in his fifth start, throwing 76 pitches. Control has been an issue for Cantillo as a starter, having walked at least three batters in all but one start thus far. He has a 4.57 ERA and a 27:11 K:BB across 21.2 innings since the role swap. His next appearance is expected to come next weekend against Minnesota.

  • Travis Adams P | MIN

    Twins' Travis Adams: Struggles in long relief

    Adams (1-1) was the pitcher of record in Sunday's 7-2 loss to Washington, striking out three while allowing five earned runs on five hits and two walks over 3.1 innings.

    Adams ate some innings for the Twins during a bullpen game, throwing 83 pitches once opener Cole Sands exited the contest. Overall, Adams has an 8.03 ERA in 12.1 innings over four appearances in the majors this season. With Bailey Ober (hip) set to return from the injured list soon, Adams' stay with the Twins could soon be coming to an end.

  • Marlins' Ronny Henriquez: Blows save

    Henriquez blew the save Sunday against Milwaukee, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over one inning. He struck out one.

    Henriquez took the mound for the eighth inning and yielded ground-rule doubles to Jackson Chourio and Andrew Vaughn, the second of which plated the game-tying run. Henriquez and Calvin Faucher have been the primary members of Miami's closing committee of late, and it doesn't appear that either has pulled ahead. Henriquez has allowed a run in three of his last four appearances, and his ERA stands at 3.06 after 50 innings this season.

  • Trevor Megill RP | MIL

    Brewers' Trevor Megill: Nabs win

    Megill (3-2) allowed one hit and no walks with one strikeout during a scoreless ninth inning Sunday to earn the win against Miami.

    Megill wound up with the win Sunday after Blake Perkins delivered a walk-off single in the bottom half of the ninth frame. The closer has 23 saves on the season, and he's a few days from finishing a near-perfect month. In seven appearances during July, Megill has allowed just two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. On the year, Megill has a 2.21 ERA across 36.2 innings.

  • Giants' Spencer Bivens: Works bulk innings Sunday

    Bivens allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over three innings of relief in a no-decision versus the Mets on Sunday.

    This was a bullpen game for the Giants, though Bivens had the heaviest workload. He threw 41 of 58 pitches for strikes in a decent performance to help give the Giants' ailing rotation a day off. Bivens has a 4.58 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 43:17 K:BB through 53 innings over 35 relief appearances this season. He has minimal past experience as a starter, so expect the 31-year-old right-hander to continue to serve as a multi-inning reliever.

  • Edwin Diaz RP | LAD

    Mets' Edwin Diaz: Works out of trouble for save

    Diaz walked two and hit a batter while striking out two over a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

    Diaz loaded the bases with one out but was able to clean up the mess without snapping his scoreless streak, which is up to 17.1 innings. The closer's lone mistake in that span was allowing an inherited runner to score July 20 versus the Reds to take a blown save. He's plunked four batters over his last five appearances, but he's not at risk of losing closing duties at this time. For the season, Diaz has been elite with a 1.48 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 64:16 K:BB while converting 23 of 25 save chances through 42.2 innings.

  • Emilio Pagan RP | CIN

    Reds' Emilio Pagan: Notches save Sunday

    Pagan struck out one batter in a perfect inning and earned a save against Tampa Bay on Sunday.

    Pagan threw 10 of 13 pitches for strikes and made quick work of the Rays' 2-3-4 hitters to close out the 2-1 victory. It was his seventh straight scoreless appearance, and he's allowed just two runs over 18.2 frames (0.96 ERA ) since the start of June. Pagan owns a 2.64 ERA with a 53:14 K:BB and 22 saves over 44.1 innings.
