Bido earned the save in Thursday's 8-3 win over Minnesota, allowing a run on two hits while striking out four over three innings.

It's the first save for Bido in his three-year MLB career. The right-hander has been decent in a long-relief role of late, posting a 3.18 ERA across 17 innings in his last seven appearances. Overall, Bido sports a 5.37 ERA with a 1.58 WHIP and 49:25 K:BB through 65.1 innings this season.

The Red Sox recalled Fitts from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.

Fitts has been used exclusively as a starter in the majors and minors this season, but the Red Sox will shift him to relief to see if his stuff might play up in shorter stints. The righty holds a 4.83 ERA and 34:13 K:BB over 41 innings during his time with Boston this season.

The Yankees signed Blackburn to a one-year contract Thursday.

Blackburn was recently cut loose by the crosstown Mets but has quickly landed on his feet with a new major-league deal. He has struggled during his time at the big-league level this season, posting a 6.85 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 18:8 K:BB in 23.2 innings. Blackburn will presumably work in long relief for now and offers the flexibility to enter the rotation, should a need arise.

Gusto will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Friday's game against the Blue Jays, Craig Mish of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports.

He's taking the spot in the rotation that belonged to Cal Quantrill, who was claimed off waivers by Atlanta on Thursday. Gusto was acquired from the Astros in the Jesus Sanchez deal at the trade deadline will be making his second start with the big-league club. He spun six innings against Atlanta on Aug. 9, allowing three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight. The rookie right-hander has a combined 4.89 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 95:30 K:BB across 92 innings with Houston and Miami this season.

The Giants will recall Whisenhunt from Triple-A Sacramento to start Friday's game versus Milwaukee, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Whisenhunt made his MLB debut earlier this season and has started three games for the Giants in 2025, turning in a 1-1 record, 5.02 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB across 14.1 innings. He's surrendered five home runs across those three outings and will have a tough road matchup versus the Brewers, who rank third in MLB with 653 runs scored.

Atlanta claimed Quantrill off waivers from the Marlins on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Atlanta has decided to take on what remains of Quantrill's $3.5 million salary for 2025, even though the right-hander had posted a 5.50 ERA and 82:30 K:BB over 109.2 innings for the Marlins this season. Manager Brian Snitker has suggested that Atlanta will roll out a six-man rotation once Chris Sale (ribcage) returns from the 60-day injured lsit, and Quantrill could take the spot of Erick Fedde, who has a 7.11 ERA in four starts since joining the team.

Whisenhunt has been added to the Giants' taxi squad and appears likely to get called up from Triple-A Sacramento to start Friday's game in Milwaukee, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The Giants have a pair of rotation spots open following an injury to Landen Roupp (knee) and the demotion of Kai-Wei Teng. One of those slots will be filled by Whisenhunt, who has made three starts for the Giants this season, collecting a 5.02 ERA and 12:7 K:BB across 14.1 frames. The lefty doesn't make for a desirable streaming option on the road against a tough Brewers lineup.

The Giants optioned Teng to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

Teng has had an excellent season in the minors, but thus far that hasn't translated at the big-league level, as he's posted an 8.78 ERA and 12:9 K:BB over 13.1 frames covering three starts and one relief outing. He'll try to get back on track and earn another opportunity later this season.

Hancock has moved to the bullpen at Triple-A Tacoma and allowed one run on two hits and one walk over one inning of work in his first relief appearance there Wednesday.

The bottom-line results weren't there for Hancock, but he averaged 97.4 mph with his four-seamer in the outing. That's a substantial velocity uptick from the 94.7 mph he's averaged this season during his time as a starter with the Mariners. It's not clear whether this is a permanent move to the bullpen for Hancock, but he could turn into a weapon in relief with his stuff playing up in shorter bursts.

Rasmussen allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings Wednesday against the Yankees. He did not factor into the decision.

Rasmussen allowed a pair of solo home runs but otherwise held the Yankees in check. After having his workload limited during a brief stretch in July, Rasmussen has now turned in three consecutive quality starts. He's allowed only four runs (three earned) across 18 innings in that span, maintaining an excellent 15:2 K:BB.
