  • Travis Adams RP | MIN

    Twins' Travis Adams: Drawing start Monday

    Adams will start Monday's game in Detroit, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    All four of Adams' appearances to this point at the major-league level have come in relief, but he has gone at least 3.1 innings in three of those outings, including during his last appearance July 27. While Adams may not be in line for a traditional start Monday, he's stretched out to provide anywhere from 3-to-4 innings before turning the game over to the bullpen.

  • Joey Lucchesi RP | LAA

    Giants' Joey Lucchesi: Scoreless outing Sunday

    Lucchesi threw a scoreless inning in Sunday's 12-4 win over the Mets, allowing two hits while striking out one.

    Lucchesi delivered a bounce-back performance after surrendering two earned runs on just 11 pitches over one-third of an inning during Friday's win over the Mets. While it took the 32-year-old 23 pitches to escape the inning Sunday, he stranded two Mets runners. He now owns a 2.41 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and an 18:3 K:BB across 18.2 innings in 18 outings this season.

  • Diamondbacks' Anthony DeSclafani: Receiving another start

    DeSclafani is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Padres at Chase Field.

    After working out of the bullpen in each of his previous three appearances, DeSclafani joined the Arizona rotation this past weekend as a replacement for Merrill Kelly, who was shipped to the Rangers ahead of the trade deadline. While making his first start for Arizona since July 6 on Friday in Sacramento, DeSclafani was dealt a loss while giving up four earned runs on five hits and three walks over 2.1 innings against the Athletics. Despite the rough showing, DeSclafani will get at least one more chance to solidify his spot in the Arizona rotation. Another poor outing, however, could prompt the Diamondbacks to go in a different direction with their No. 5 starter.

  • Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Secures 14th save

    Iglesias gave up two hits and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Sunday to record his 14th save of the season in a win over the Reds.

    Atlanta surprisingly didn't move Iglesias at the trade deadline despite an overheated market for late-inning relievers, and he's rewarded the team by collecting saves in back-to-back appearances since. The veteran right-hander has been scored upon only twice in his last 22 outings, posting a 2.18 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB through 20.2 innings over that stretch while converting six of seven save chances.

  • Hunter Harvey RP | CHC

    Royals' Hunter Harvey: Earns first win

    Harvey (1-0) earned the win Sunday against the Blue Jays. He allowed a hit and no walks while striking out one over a scoreless inning.

    Harvey pitched a clean ninth inning to send the game to extras, where a Royals offensive outburst secured him the win. The right-hander missed more than three months with a shoulder injury but has been excellent when available. Since being activated July 27, he has logged 3.1 scoreless innings, improving his season totals to a 0.00 ERA and 0.46 WHIP over 8.2 innings across 10 appearances. While the sample size remains small, it is worth noting that Harvey's fastball velocity has dipped to a career-low 95.9 mph, but he has yet to issue a walk.

  • Clayton Beeter RP | WAS

    Nationals' Clayton Beeter: Expected to be recalled

    The Nationals will recall Beeter from Triple-A Rochester, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

    Acquired from the Yankees in the Amed Rosario trade, Beeter has had an uneven 2025 season. He's been rocked for six runs with a 1:4 K:BB over 3.2 innings at the big-league level and held a 3.70 ERA and 40:20 K:BB over 24.1 frames during his time at Triple-A. The Nationals have a lot of uncertainty in their bullpen right now, so Beeter could work his way into a high-leverage role if he's able to throw enough strikes.

  • Ryan Miller RP | DET

    Ryan Miller: Cut by Tigers

    The Tigers released Miller on Monday.

    Miller made 13 relief appearances for the Angels in 2024 but has spent the entirety of the 2025 season at the Triple-A level after joining the Tigers over the winter on a minor-league deal. In 37 appearances for Triple-A Toledo, Miller delivered a 4.32 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 44:16 K:BB in 50 innings. He shouldn't have much difficulty securing a minor-league contract with another organization.

  • Tigers' Joseph Montalvo: Shuttered for season

    Double-A Erie placed Montalvo (undisclosed) on its full-season injured list Monday.

    The 23-year-old right-hander had been on the 7-day IL since June 6, and he apparently didn't make enough progress in his recovery in the two months since to convince the organization that he would be ready to pitch again in 2025. Montalvo posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 34:18 K:BB in 44 innings over his 11 appearances (10 starts) for Erie before being shut down.

  • Zach Penrod RP | WAS

    Dodgers' Zach Penrod: Outrighted to Triple-A

    The Dodgers outrighted Penrod to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    Penrod cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and will remain in the organization. The lefty has a 4.85 ERA with a 7:13 K:BB over 13 innings at Oklahoma City since being acquired via trade from the Red Sox in late June.

  • Ian Gibaut RP | CIN

    Reds' Ian Gibaut: Starts rehab assignment

    Gibaut (shoulder) tossed a perfect inning Sunday in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Louisville.

    Gibaut has been cleared for game action after being shelved for more than a month with a right shoulder impingement. He will could require at least one more rehab appearance before rejoining the Reds' bullpen.
