Tidwell is slated to start Monday's game against the Astros in San Francisco.

After dealing away Tyler Mahle and Robbie Ray last week, the Giants had two openings in the rotation, and Tidwell was summoned from Triple-A Sacramento to fill one of those spots. The 25-year-old right-hander acquitted himself well in his first start as a member of the Giants last Tuesday, taking a no-decision on the road against the Rangers while allowing two earned runs on six hits and one walk across five innings. Tidwell will be awarded a second turn through the rotation and will tentatively line up for two starts during the upcoming week, with a home start against the Rockies likely on tap next Sunday.

Helsley (elbow) said Sunday that he's about a week into his throwing program but is likely a couple of weeks away from getting back on a mound, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

On the shelf for the second time this season due to a right elbow injury, Helsley looks like he'll be eased along slowly during his rehab program. He's expected to gradually increase his throwing distance off flat ground for the next two weeks before he begins throwing bullpen sessions. After that, Helsey will then need to resume facing hitters and complete a rehab assignment before potentially making his return to the Baltimore bullpen. Given the multiple hurdles Helsley still needs to clear, he doesn't appear likely to make it back from the 60-day injured list until at least early September.

Booser picked up a hold Sunday against Seattle, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless seventh inning. He struck out two.

After struggling to a 5.52 ERA in 31 innings for the White Sox in 2025, the 34-year-old left-hander continues to serve as a legitimate weapon out of Tampa Bay's bullpen this season. Booser has a 2.08 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB over 26 frames while logging seven holds.

Richards secured the save against the Guardians on Sunday, allowing one run on no hits and two walks in the ninth inning.

A two-hour rain delay forced the White Sox into a bullpen game Sunday, and Chicago elected to throw most of its high-leverage arms earlier in a close contest. Grant Taylor, who looks to have worked his way into the closer spot as of late, might have also been unavailable after throwing three innings in the past three days, so it certainly appears as though the stars aligned for Richards' rare save chance. Through 48.1 innings for the White Sox, the right-hander has a hold and a save in two attempts while posting a 3.54 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Jameson (hip) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno during the upcoming week, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

Per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com, Jameson threw 32 pitches over two innings in an unofficial game at extended spring training Saturday. Assuming Jameson bounces back well from that outing, he'll report to Reno in the coming days and will likely make at least a couple appearances before returning from the injured list. Jameson posted a 4.67 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 17.1 innings out of the Arizona bullpen before landing on the IL on July 21 due to right hip inflammation.

Gonzales re-signed Friday with the Rangers on a minor-league contract.

Gonzales will report to Triple-A Round Rock after coming to terms on a new deal with Texas just five days after electing free agency. The 34-year-old lefty previously made two appearances at the big-league level for the Rangers, giving up one earned run on seven hits and four walks over six innings.

Iglesias (1-2) earned the win in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Yankees, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Iglesias shut down the heart of the Yankees' order in the bottom of the ninth inning before Atlanta took the win in the 10th. It was a clutch effort after the veteran closer allowed two earned runs in back-to-back outings, including a blown save Friday. On the season, he's 24-for-27 in save chances with a 2.95 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 48:12 K:BB across 42.2 innings.

Holton struck out the side in a clean inning of relief to earn the save in Sunday's 3-1, 10-inning victory over the Giants.

Regular closer Kenley Jansen worked the bottom of the ninth inning in a 1-1 tie, and just like Holton, struck out the side. Holton then came on in the bottom of the 10th to protect a 3-1 lead, and he needed 12 pitches to mow down the Giants in order and record his second save of the season. The lefty has been good this year with a 2.78 ERA overall, and he's been even better lately, posting a 1.38 ERA and 0.85 WHIP across his last 10 appearances.

Jansen (3-4) struck out the side in a clean inning of relief and earned the win in Sunday's 3-1, 10-inning victory over the Giants.

Jansen worked the bottom of the ninth inning and needed 15 pitches to tally three strikeouts and keep the game tied 1-1. The veteran reliever then earned the win when Detroit scored twice in the top of the 10th, with Tyler Holton coming on for the save. Jansen has been sharp lately with a 0.90 ERA and 14 strikeouts across 10 innings of work in his last 10 appearances. Overall, he's sitting on a 3.82 ERA and leads the Tigers with 13 saves in 17 chances this season.

Seymour (9-3) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Sunday.

Seymour has won his last three outings (two starts), allowing just three runs over 16.2 innings with a 20:3 K:BB in that span. He had some ups and downs in July but looks to be getting on course as a starter after stretching out in the majors over the last couple of months. Seymour is at a 4.08 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 106:30 K:BB through 90.1 innings over 38 games (nine starts) this season, though he's also had some bulk-relief assignments. The southpaw's next appearance is projected to be at home versus the Orioles, and he should have some security in the rotation while Shane McClanahan (back) and Griffin Jax (elbow) are on the injured list.
