The Angels will recall Aldegheri from Triple-A Salt Lake, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

The Angels have not announced any probable pitchers for their weekend series in Colorado, and Aldegheri could slot into the rotation one of those days. Aldegheri boasts a 2.52 ERA and 50:20 K:BB over 60.2 innings covering his last 10 starts between Double-A Rocket City and Salt Lake. The lefty has made two relief appearances for the Angels this season, yielding seven runs (five earned) across 4.1 frames.

The Royals recalled Avila from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

Avila was just sent down Wednesday but eligible to be recalled because he's replacing an injured player in Kyle Isbel (hamstring) on the roster. The rookie right-hander has allowed just one run with an 11:4 K:BB over 9.1 innings this season at the big-league level.

Cruz (shoulder) struck out two and gave up a hit and no walks over 1.1 innings in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

Cruz has yet to allow a run in four rehab outings with Triple-A Omaha as he works back from right shoulder tendinitis. Before the injury, he posted a 3.61 ERA and 1.18 WHIP across 42.1 innings in 43 appearances out of Kansas City's bullpen. A return to the majors should come soon, giving the club a fresh relief option after a taxing series against Seattle.

Devenski was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

The journeyman reliever carried a 5.92 ERA in 83.2 innings from 2022-24, but Devenski has a 2.30 ERA in 15.2 innings for the Mets this season, in part due to a 5.9% HR/FB and 80.9 LOB%. He should work in low-leverage situations.

Brazoban was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

The 35-year-old righty has a 3.67 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 51:27 K:BB in 56.1 innings across 47 appearances for the Mets this season. Brazoban should work in low-leverage situations during this stint in the majors.

Garrett was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right elbow sprain.

The move is retroactive to Sept. 15, but it nonetheless means the end of Garrett's regular season. He has logged an 8.25 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 14 strikeouts in 12 innings since the beginning of August.

Civale (4-9) tossed three scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Wednesday's 8-4 victory over the Pirates. He allowed one hit and struck out three.

With starter Matthew Boyd scuffling through three innings, Chicago turned to Civale in long relief, and the veteran earned his first win with his new team since getting claimed off waivers at the end of August. Civale has looked sharp with the Cubs, as he's allowed just one run across eight innings in three appearances, and he's struck out eight batters as well. The righty's fantasy value is capped in his current role, though it looks like he could be a positive addition to Chicago's bullpen down the stretch.

Suarez earned the save in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Mets, allowing a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

Tasked with protecting a three-run lead, Suarez worked around a leadoff single to Brett Baty and a two-out walk to Francisco Lindor, but he held firm to lock down the win for San Diego. The right-hander has been reliable in September, posting a 2.61 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB across 10.1 innings, converting four consecutive saves in that stretch. The 34-year-old is now just one save away from becoming the fifth Padres closer ever to reach the 40-save milestone, and he sits only one behind Carlos Estevez for the MLB lead.

King earned a save against the Rangers on Wednesday by pitching 1.1 perfect innings. He did not record any strikeouts

King entered with two outs in the eighth inning, inheriting two runners on base. He got Dylan Moore to fly out, then retired all three batters he faced in the ninth to close out the contest. The save was King's second of the campaign and his first since July 22. Bryan Abreu has taken over closer duties for Houston with Josh Hader (shoulder) out of action, but Abreu was held out Wednesday after pitching each of the previous two days. It makes sense that the Astros turned to King late in the game, as he's now given up just one run while posting a 17:2 K:BB over his past 17 innings spanning 16 appearances.

Fairbanks earned the save in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Called upon to protect a one-run lead, the right-hander locked down his 27th save of the season with ease, continuing his bounce-back form after a rocky stretch in which he allowed six earned runs over seven appearances. Since then, Fairbanks has gone four straight outings without allowing a hit, converting three saves in that span. The 31-year-old now sports a 2.98 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 58:18 K:BB across 57.1 innings this season.
