The Sox hadn't used such a high pick on a pitcher since Tanner Houck in 2017, after years of the Chaim Bloom-led front office pursing a deliberate strategy of swerving pitchers in the early rounds of the draft. It isn't hard to see why Craig Breslow and company liked Tolle so much. Tolle was named the Big XII Pitcher of the Year in 2024, after he put up a 3.21 ERA for TCU, striking out 125 batters in 81.1 innings pitched.

The Mets are set to promote top pitching prospect for his major league debut, reports Will Sammon of The Athletic. They'll need to clear space on both the 40-man and 26-man rosters in order to formally select his contract from Triple-A Syracuse.

There is some feeling within the Mets organization that right-handed pitching prospect could make his MLB debut before the 2025 season is up, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports. Tong only just made his debut with Triple-A Syracuse on August 16 and hadn't been projected as "a consideration for the Major League roster this year," Puma writes, but "that stance has changed in recent days."

I'm really looking forward to it, It's been nothing but good vibes here, (since) when I first got here, so I've been looking forward to it for a while.

Tigers right-hander won't pitch competitively this year, manager A.J. Hinch told reporters (including Evan Woodbery of MLive) yesterday. While the Tigers have announced that Madden is working on a return-to-play throwing progression, Hinch revealed that the goal of that program is to set him up for a "productive offseason" rather than to try and get him back on the mound for game action before the year ends.

Brandon Sproat, a top Mets pitching prospect, pitched six innings allowing three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four batters.

Nationals manager Davey Martinez expressed cautious optimism about Jarlin Susana's Grade 1 UCL sprain, considering it a 'best-case scenario' despite remaining concerns about his recovery.
