Cody Poteet SP | NYY
Yankees' Cody Poteet: Sent back to SWB
The Yankees optioned Poteet to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Poteet made one appearance during his three-day stint in the majors, giving up one earned run across 3.1 innings Wednesday against Baltimore. Rather than keeping him in the bullpen to finish the regular season, the Yankees will instead send him back out to the minors in favor of Will Warren.

Will Warren SP | NYY
Yankees' Will Warren: Back in majors
The Yankees recalled Warren from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.
Warren owns a 9.55 ERA and 1.85 WHIP over 21.2 innings across five big-league starts this season, and it seems likely he'll be available out of the bullpen for New York during the final two games of the regular season. Cody Poteet was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Garrett Crochet SP | CHW
White Sox's Garrett Crochet: Another four-inning start
Crochet didn't factor into the decision Friday against Detroit, allowing four hits and a walk over four scoreless innings. He struck out six.
Crochet's workload decreased dramatically down the stretch, though he was still impressive in limited work, allowing just one run over 12 innings in his final three outings. It was a breakthrough season overall for the left-hander, who proved to be one of the White Sox's few bright spots. Crochet will finish the year at 6-12 with a 3.58 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 209:33 K:BB across 146 innings.

Gustavo Campero C | LAA
Angels' Gustavo Campero: Nabs third steal
Campero went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Rangers.
The 27-year-old switch hitter swiped his third bag in 11 games since his late-season promotion, a stretch in which he's also batting .260 (10-for-38) with three RBI and five runs. Campero didn't come into the season with much of a prospect profile, but after slashing .279/.392/.472 in 107 games between Double-A Rocket City and Triple-A Salt Lake this year and then holding his own in a big-league cameo, he may have a spot in the Angels' outfield plans for 2025.

Reid Detmers SP | LAA
Angels' Reid Detmers: Fans 12 in Friday's loss
Detmers (4-9) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs on eight hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over five innings as the Angels fell 5-2 to the Rangers. He struck out 12.
The southpaw displayed both the good and bad sides of his profile, generating 32 called or swinging strikes among his 95 pitches but serving up back-to-back homers to Wyatt Langford and Adolis Garcia in the first inning, before Carson Kelly tagged him for another long ball in the fourth. Over five September starts, Detmers posted a brutal 8.14 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 3.0 HR/9 despite a superficially impressive 39:11 K:BB through 24.1 innings. The 25-year-old still has four years of team control and is only heading into his first year of arbitration eligibility this winter, however, so it's unlikely the Angels will give up on his upside quite yet.

Vaughn Grissom 2B | BOS
Red Sox's Vaughn Grissom: Three-hit night in loss
Grissom went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay.
Grissom, who started for the fourth time in the last five games, is 7-for-18 (.389) with a double, two RBI and two steals since being called up last week. It was a rough year for the 23-year-old, whose spring training groin/hamstring injury lingered for months. A positive finish to the season, including a productive stint at Triple-A Worcester, should put him in line to be Boston's starter at second base in 2025.
