  • Robert Suarez RP | ATL

    Padres' Robert Suarez: Converts 38th save

    Suarez struck out three without allowing a hit or a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 9-6 win over the Rockies.

    One batter reached on an error, but Suarez was able to overcome that to log his 38th save of the year. The right-hander has posted an 11:1 K:BB over 8.1 innings in September, though he has allowed three runs, including two home runs in that span. Suarez is now at a 3.06 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 70:15 K:BB through 64.2 innings this season and remains firmly in control of the closer role for the Padres.

  • Joey Wentz SP | ATL

    Braves' Joey Wentz: Goes four innings vs. Houston

    Wentz did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Astros, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out five.

    It's the third straight start that Wentz has failed to make it past the fourth inning, though Sunday's outing is certainly a step in the right direction after he was tagged for eight runs (six earned) in just 2.1 frames his last time out against the Mariners. Overall, Wentz is 3-5 with a 4.75 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 54:19 K:BB across 55 innings with Atlanta this season.

  • Clayton Beeter RP | WAS

    Nationals' Clayton Beeter: Picks up first save

    Beeter earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Pirates, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out three in a scoreless ninth inning.

    With Cole Henry (back) landing on the IL and Jose Ferrer presumably unavailable, the Nats turned to Beeter in the ninth inning Sunday, and he was able to work out of trouble en route to his first major-league save. Beeter has been excellent recently, holding opponents scoreless in his last 14 appearances (13.2 innings) while allowing just two hits in that span. Overall, the right-hander sports a 4.03 ERA with a 1.07 WHIP and 28 strikeouts through 22.1 innings this season.

  • Cam Sanders RP | PIT

    Pirates' Cam Sanders: Getting another look in majors

    The Pirates recalled Sanders from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    This will be Sanders' third promotion to the big-league club since early August. In five appearances so far, he's allowed five runs with a 4:4 K:BB over five innings. Sanders' stay in the majors could be short this time around, as he was called up to take the bullpen spot of Yohan Ramirez, who can miss up to three games while on the paternity list.

  • Yohan Ramirez RP | PIT

    Pirates' Yohan Ramirez: Placed on paternity list

    The Pirates placed Ramirez on the paternity list Sunday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Ramirez will be able to take up to three days away from the team to be with his growing family. The right-hander hasn't seen much high-leverage work of late, as his most recent hold came July 26 against Arizona. To fill Ramirez's spot in the bullpen and on the 26-man roster, Pittsburgh recalled righty hurler Cam Sanders from Triple-A Indianapolis.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Dominates to earn hold

    Wrobleski notched a hold against the Giants on Saturday, striking out four batters over 2.1 perfect relief innings.

    Both teams turned on the offense early in the contest, and when Wrobleski entered in the bottom of the fifth frame, Los Angeles was clinging onto a two-run lead with the tying run coming to the plate. The southpaw struck out Heliot Ramos to end that threat, then cruised through two more perfect frames while the Dodgers tacked three runs onto their lead. Wrobleski went through a rough stretch in mid-August during which he took two losses and gave up five runs over three outings spanning 5.1 innings. He's turned things around dramatically since then -- over his past four appearances, Wrobleski has pitched 7.1 scoreless frames while posting a sizzling 13:1 K:BB.

  • Pirates' Braxton Ashcraft: Returning to starting role Monday

    The Pirates list Ashcraft as their probable starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Cubs at PNC Park.

    In his most recent appearance during Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Orioles, Ashcraft covered three innings out of the bullpen while piggybacking starter Mike Burrows, who was lifted after covering the first four frames. The Pirates look set to break up the tandem and move to a six-man rotation during the upcoming week, as Burrows will start Sunday's series finale in Washington while Ashcraft gets the ball for the first contest of a six-game homestand. Though he's returning to a starting role, Ashcraft could still have his workload monitored carefully Monday since he's already tossed 32.2 more innings in 2025 than he did during the 2024 season.

  • Keaton Winn SP | SF

    Giants' Keaton Winn: Allows one run Saturday

    Winn allowed one earned run on two hits while striking out one over one inning in Saturday's 13-7 defeat to the Dodgers.

    Winn entered the game in the ninth, surrendering a single and a double while throwing 11 of his 13 pitches for strikes. The right-hander has appeared in four outings since being recalled to San Francisco on Aug. 26, allowing four earned runs on nine hits -- including one home run -- and one walk while striking out six in six innings. In six appearances this season, he owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB across eight innings.

  • Pirates' Carmen Mlodzinski: Earns win Saturday

    Mlodzinski (4-8) allowed one hit and struck out three across two scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday against the Nationals.

    Mlodzinski followed Bubba Chandler into the game, entering in the seventh inning with the score tied 1-1. Mlodzinski generated six swinging strikes on 30 total pitches to turn in his second consecutive scoreless relief appearance. Since the start of August, he has a 2.55 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with a 29:10 K:BB across 24.2 innings while pitching primarily in a bulk-relief role.

  • Brad Keller SP | PHI

    Cubs' Brad Keller: Snaps scoreless streak, takes loss

    Keller (4-2) allowed a run on two hits and a walk across an inning of relief to take the loss Saturday against the Rays.

    Keller worked the top of the ninth inning in a 4-4 game and promptly served up a go-ahead home run to Nick Fortes to take the loss. It was the first run allowed by the veteran righty since July 12, a streak of 22 appearances coming into Saturday. Keller still has a sparkling 2.20 ERA and 0.98 WHIP overall, and he should maintain a key role in Chicago's bullpen, though it appears that Andrew Kittredge is the next man up as closer with Daniel Palencia (shoulder) on the injured list.
