Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz was charged with his seventh loss of the season in Tuesday's 7-6 game against the Reds.

Ben Joyce Progressing

Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin said that rookie relief pitcher Ben Joyce (elbow) threw an inning of relief at the team's spring training facilities in Arizona on Aug. 31 and came out of it without any setbacks. "We'll take it slow with him," Nevin said. "He feels great. We'll see how he progresses in […]

Louie Varland To Work In Relief

Minnesota Twins right-hander Louie Varland returned to the team on Monday from Triple-A St. Paul, but for now, the former starter will work in a relief role out of the bullpen. Varland, who posted a 1.95 ERA in August after being sent to the minors, is OK moving to a relief role, but he wants […]

Ryan Walker Serving As Opener For Giants

San Francisco Giants rookie right-hander Ryan Walker will serve as the team's opener for their game at Wrigley Field on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. This will be the 12th "start" for Walker as an opener this year, but he's unlikely to go more than three innings, so fantasy managers looking for a streamer should […]

JoJo Romero Lands On Injured List

The St. Louis Cardinals placed relief pitcher JoJo Romero (knee) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Sept. 2) on Monday with left-knee patellar tendinitis and activated left-hander Matthew Liberatore (back) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. It's a significant development for the Cardinals' bullpen, as Romero had been serving as the […]

Ryne Stanek Injures His Ankle Monday

Houston Astros relief pitcher Ryne Stanek (ankle) injured his ankle while covering first base on Monday in the game against the Texas Rangers and was eventually carted off the field. The severity of the injury is unknown at this time, but the fact that he was carted off the diamond probably means he's at least […]

Yennier Cano Earns Sixth Save Of Season Monday

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Yennier Cano earned his sixth save of the season in Monday's 6-3 win over the Angels. Cano came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth up by three and delivered a 1-2-3 inning with no strikeouts. It was the 29-year-old's second save since star closer Felix Bautista (elbow) went on […]

Kenny Rosenberg Toeing The Rubber Monday Versus Orioles

Los Angeles Angels pitcher Kenny Rosenberg will be on the mound Monday night as he takes on the Baltimore Orioles in what marks his first start at the MLB level this season. The southpaw has made a pair of long relief appearances for the Halos this season but has worked as a starter at the […]

Corey Kluber Making Good Progress

Boston Red Sox right-hander Corey Kluber (shoulder), who last pitched in a minor-league rehab outing on July 26, is making progress. Manager Alex Cora said Kluber will throw a bullpen session soon, and the hope is that if all goes well, he will go on another rehab assignment. Cora said on Saturday that the Red […]

Giovanny Gallegos Picks Up Save Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals right-handed pitcher Giovanny Gallegos picked up his 10th save of the season on Sunday, holding down a 6-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Gallegos didn't allow a baserunner and struck out one in his inning of work. The Cardinals seem to be using a closer-by-committee approach right now, with JoJo Romero getting […]

Tanner Scott Appears To Be Marlins Closer

Miami Marlins left-handed pitcher Tanner Scott threw a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his fourth save on Sunday in a 6-4 win over the Washington Nationals. Scott allowed just a hit while striking out one. It appears that the Marlins have settled on the lefty as their go-to guy in the ninth, with Scott […]

Alex Lange Collects 21st Save

On Sunday, Detroit Tigers Alex Lange secured his 21st save in 2023. His team knocked off the White Sox 3-2. Despite a blown save just two days prior, the 27-year-old Lange has continued to be the closer for manager A.J. Hinch. The once-former starter has posted an ERA of 3.79 with 66 strikeouts in 54/2 […]

Jorge Lopez Returns To Baltimore

The Baltimore Orioles claimed relief pitcher Jorge Lopez off waivers from the Miami Marlins on Saturday. The Marlins will save around $600,000 with the move. Lopez was dealt by the Orioles to the Minnesota Twins at the trade deadline in 2022 for, among others, reliever Yennier Cano. The 30-year-old previously served as the Orioles closer […]
