Rays land Kimbrel on MLB deal to reinforce relief corps

The Tampa Bay Rays signed veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to a major league contract after he was designated for assignment by the Mets, adding a veteran arm as Jesse Scholtens lands on the 15-day IL with a right wrist strain. Kimbrel, 37, has 440 career saves across 11 teams and could be in the Rays’ bullpen for tonight’s game against the Orioles. The move aims to bolster a bullpen dealing with injuries and late-season usage, with Kimbrel’s turbulent recent stretch contrasted by the Rays’ history of reviving veteran arms.

Rainy-day bullpen gamble costs Red Sox in 6-5 loss to Twins

In a rain-soaked Fenway Park game, the Red Sox fell 6-5 to the Minnesota Twins after interim manager Chad Tracy rolled the dice in the sixth by sending 35-year-old Tyron Guerrero to protect a one-run lead; Guerrero, making his second major-league appearance of the decade, retired two of four batters as Boston’s ongoing bullpen experimentation continues and the club sits near the bottom of the AL East.

Red Sox feast on Royals' miscues for a 7-1 win in KC

Boston capitalized on a string of Kansas City miscues and a rough start from Bailey Falter (after Kris Bubic’s elbow soreness) to roll to a 7-1 victory in Kansas City. The Sox took the lead thanks to defensive errors, then pulled away in the ninth with Jarren Duran belting a three‑run homer and reaching base four times, while Isiah Kiner‑Falefa also reached base four times. The bullpen locked things down late, giving Boston a win built more on gifts than guts.

The bullpen faltered with Keller, Alvarado and Kerkering allowing runs, but Bryson Stott hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth to cap a 5-4 Phillies win.

Tim Hill's third-base gamble sinks Yankees in Milwaukee

In Milwaukee, the Yankees led 3-2 in the 10th until reliever Tim Hill tried to force out a runner at third on Brice Turang's grounder instead of throwing to first, loading the bases and setting up a Brewers walk-off sacrifice fly by William Contreras. Aaron Judge's throw from right was offline, and Hill later admitted the decision was bad, costing New York the game in extras.

Yankees Promote Spencer Jones, Call Up Kervin Castro to Strengthen Bullpen

New York promoted top outfield prospect Spencer Jones to the majors after injuries thinned the outfield, and recalled right-hander Kervin Castro from Scranton to bolster the bullpen; Brendan Beck is expected to be sent back to Scranton to remain stretched out as a starter. Jones has shown thump and improving contact this spring, posting a .258/.366/.592 line with 11 homers in 33 games, while Castro brings MLB experience and a 3.14 ERA in 14.1 innings at Scranton this season, and the moves expand the 40-man roster as the Yankees juggle lineup and bullpen needs.
