  • Justin Wilson RP | BOS

    Yankees' Justin Wilson: Responding well to treatment

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Wilson (hamstring) is responding to treatment and "doing really well," MLB.com reports.

    Wilson has been on the injured list since May 29, but he appears to be making progress from the right hamstring issue that Boone said had been nagging the reliever for "a few weeks." It's not yet clear when Wilson could return to the Yankees' bullpen.

  • Daniel Norris RP | CLE

    Tigers' Daniel Norris: Melts down in 11th inning

    Norris (0-2) allowed five runs (four earned) on three hits and two walks in one inning, taking the loss versus Seattle on Wednesday.

    Norris was on the mound for all of Seattle's five-run rally in the top of the 11th, and Detroit wasn't able to cover the damage. It's been a difficult year for the southpaw, who has a 6.65 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 23 innings. He's added five holds and two blown saves, but his inconsistent pitching will likely keep him from earning more high-leverage work.

  • JT Chargois RP | TEX

    Mariners' JT Chargois: Collects extra-innings win

    Chargois (1-0) allowed an unearned run and struck out two in one inning to earn the win in extra innings versus Detroit on Wednesday.

    Chargois allowed Detroit to re-tie the game when he uncorked a wild pitch in the 10th inning. Seattle then rallied for five runs in the 11th, and Chargois ended up with his first win of the year. The right-hander has pitched well with a 1.80 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB across 15 innings this season, adding five holds and a blown save in 15 appearances.

  • Conner Menez RP | CHC

    Giants' Conner Menez: Impresses in hold

    Menez allowed one hit and struck out three in two shutout innings, earning a hold in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Rangers.

    Menez has now pitched two scoreless frames in each of his three appearances since being called up May 31. Further, he's fanned seven batters and walked none. Continued success may earn the left-hander more high-leverage opportunities going forward.

  • Cubs' Craig Kimbrel: Sharp again in save chance

    Kimbrel worked a scoreless ninth inning to record the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Padres.

    Kimbrel failed to record a strikeout in an outing for the first time since early May, but he still retired San Diego in order to secure his 15th save of the season. The veteran has been rolling along with a 0.72 ERA and 14.8 K/9, and he should be a fixture in all fantasy lineups moving forward.

  • Sean Manaea SP | NYM

    Athletics' Sean Manaea: Hurls six shutout frames

    Manaea (5-2) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out three in six scoreless innings, earning the win in Wednesday's 4-0 victory over the Diamondbacks.

    The lefty entered an enticing matchup (at home against the Diamondbacks) and didn't disappoint. Manaea labored a bit through the first couple innings, but he made it through six innings on 111 pitches and lowered his ERA to 3.09. He's been superb of late while allowing just two earned runs over 26.2 innings in his last four starts, and he's expected to next pitch Monday against the Angels.

  • Royals' Carlos Hernandez: Recalled by Royals

    The Royals recalled Hernandez to the big-league roster Wednesday.

    The righty has struggled considerably in four relief appearances this season, having allowed multiple runs in three of his four appearances en route to a 8.22 ERA. In his only scoreless outing, Hernandez walked three batters without recording an out. Regardless, he's being called upon once again to provide some added bullpen depth.

  • Tyler Rogers RP | TOR

    Giants' Tyler Rogers: Blows save

    Rogers allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in two innings and was responsible for a blown save in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

    As reliable as the funky righty has been this season, he has converted just eight of his 12 save opportunities. Even so, Rogers still boasts a stellar 1.71 ERA and is tied for second in MLB with 30 relief appearances. Further, Wednesday was only the fourth appearance in which he's yielded an earned run.

  • Rays' J.P. Feyereisen: Garners first hold Tuesday

    Feyereisen recorded his first hold in a win over the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing no hits but issuing three walks over one-third of an inning.

    Feyereisen had an extremely labor-intensive sub-one-inning outing, getting only 12 of 26 pitches into the strike zone while creating a heap of trouble that Ryan Thompson was able to subsequently wiggle out of. The 28-year-old is working on a five-appearance scoreless streak and sports an outstanding 1.04 ERA, but his 5.8 BB/9 across 28 innings remains an albatross.

  • Brett Martin RP | TEX

    Rangers' Brett Martin: Earns win in relief

    Martin (1-2) allowed one hit and an unearned run across two innings, earning the victory in Wednesday's 4-3, extra-innings win over the Rangers.

    The lefty was very efficient, requiring just 16 pitches (14 of which were strikes) to get through the 10th and 11th innings. Martin yielded four runs in an inning Sunday after recording 15 straight scoreless appearances, but he appears to be back on track after that one rough showing.
