  • Michael Fulmer RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Michael Fulmer: Designated for assignment

    The Red Sox designated Fulmer for assignment Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Fulmer was knocked around in his lone appearance with the big club, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over 2.2 innings. It was the first outing in the majors for the 32-year-old since 2023, as he missed the entire 2024 season while recovering from UCL revision surgery. It's possible there will be interest via trade or waivers in Fulmer, who offers versatility after being stretched out as a starter at Triple-A Worcester.

  • Troy Taylor RP | SEA

    Mariners' Troy Taylor: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Mariners optioned Taylor to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

    Taylor started the season on the 15-day injured list due to a right lat strain he suffered in spring training. He was activated from the IL on Monday, but in his 2025 debut against the Reds on Wednesday he allowed three runs on three hits while failing to record an out. Taylor could get a call back up to the majors when the Mariners need right-handed depth out of the bullpen. Seattle selected the contract of Casey Lawrence from Tacoma in a corresponding move.

  • Noah Davis RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Noah Davis: Joins major-league roster

    The Dodgers recalled Davis from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

    It's the corresponding roster move for Bobby Miller getting optioned to Oklahoma City on Thursday. Acquired from the Red Sox in a trade this offseason, Davis has allowed five runs but struck out nine over 5.2 innings in the minors this season. He'll give the bullpen some length.

  • A.J. Minter RP | NYM

    Mets' A.J. Minter: Notches fourth hold

    Minter worked a perfect eighth inning Thursday to record his fourth hold of the season in a win over the Cardinals.

    The southpaw needed only nine pitches (six strikes) to breeze through the top of the St. Louis batting order. Minter has had a strong start to the season as one of the primary setup men for Edwin Diaz, posting a 2.16 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 12:1 K:BB through 8.1 innings over nine appearances.

  • Beau Brieske RP | DET

    Tigers' Beau Brieske: Yet to hit stride

    Brieske, who allowed a run during an inning of relief in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Royals, has an 8.59 ERA so far this season.

    Brieske has now allowed seven earned runs across 7.1 innings in 2025 and has only struck out four. Last year, the righty posted a 3.59 ERA and 69 strikeouts across 67.2 regular-season innings, emerging as one of Detroit's most dependable relievers. Brieske should be able to get back on track eventually, and as yet he hasn't been removed from his high-leverage role in the Tigers bullpen.

  • Luke Little RP | CHC

    Cubs' Luke Little: Optioned to Triple-A

    The Cubs optioned Little to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.

    Little made just one appearance during his brief time with the big club and allowed one run while walking four over one-third of an inning. The Cubs will announced a corresponding roster move prior to Friday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

  • Robert Garcia RP | TEX

    Rangers' Robert Garcia: Registers rare save Thursday

    Garcia earned the save in Thursday's win 5-3 over the Angels, throwing a clean ninth inning and striking out one.

    Garcia didn't have to do much to net his first save of the year, inducing two quick groundouts after fanning the leadoff batter on three pitches. Each of his five pitches overall landed for strikes. Closer Luke Jackson worked each of the past two days, and setup man Chris Martin was summoned to retire the top of the Angels' lineup in the eighth inning. That said, Garcia has five holds as opposed to one save in 2025, so he's unlikely to see very much ninth-inning work going forward despite producing a 2.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB through nine frames of work.

  • Devin Williams RP | NYY

    Yankees' Devin Williams: Tallies fourth save Thursday

    Williams earned the save after throwing a clean ninth inning in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Rays.

    While he didn't record a strikeout, Williams put the Rays away on just six pitches (five strikes) Thursday. The All-Star closer has been shaky at times to begin his Yankees tenure, as evidenced by his 5.14 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB over seven innings, but Williams is unscored upon in his past four outings and has still converted each of his first four save chances as New York's closer.

  • Tommy Kahnle RP | DET

    Tigers' Tommy Kahnle: Logs third save

    Kahnle tossed two scoreless innings in Thursday's 6-1 win over Kansas City to earn his third save of the season.

    Kahnle inherited two baserunners when he was called in for the eighth inning with Detroit leading 4-1, but he was able to force two-straight groundouts (the first of which resulted in a double play) to get out of the frame unscathed. After the Tigers tacked on two insurance runs, he came back out for the ninth inning and needed just nine pitches to retire the side and register his third save of the 2025 campaign. Kahnle has a 1.29 ERA, 0.43 WHIP and 5:0 K:BB across seven innings, as he has settled into the closer role.

  • Edwin Diaz RP | NYM

    Mets' Edwin Diaz: Works around leadoff walk for save

    Diaz picked up the save after allowing one walk in a scoreless ninth inning to close out Thursday's 4-1 win over the Cardinals. He struck out two.

    Although it was Diaz's third straight outing in which he allowed the leadoff batter to reach base, he didn't face much resistance from the Cardinals otherwise. The hard-throwing right-hander still has work to do to improve on his 5.87 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB over 7.2 innings, but Diaz has converted each of his first four save opportunities as New York's closer in 2025.
