Ryan Watson steps in for save against Mariners

Ryan Watson

LAA Relief Pitcher #56

Player Stats

Ryan Watson tossed a scoreless ninth inning to convert the save against the Mariners on Tuesday.

Ben Joyce got the night off after pitching in two of the last three games. It was Ryan Watson who got the call in the ninth to close out the game against the Mariners with a one-run lead. He worked around a base hit, inducing a ground ball double-play to end the contest with his third save of the season.

Ryan Watson was charged with a blown save and the loss in Wednesday’s 4-3 defeat to the Guardians.

Watson was summoned to protect a one-run lead in the top of the ninth, but he allowed two earned runs on three hits and a walk, squandering the save opportunity. Ben Joyce was seemingly unavailable, as he has yet to pitch on back-to-back days since joining the big league club on August 5.
Ryan Watson

LAA Relief Pitcher #56

Angels claimed RHP Ryan Watson off waivers from the Red Sox.

Watson, a Rule 5 Draft selection this year, has a 4.53 ERA in 55 2/3 innings with the Red Sox this year. He’ll provide depth to the Angels pen.
Ryan Watson

BOS Relief Pitcher #56

Red Sox designated RHP Ryan Watson for assignment.

Watson is essentially the odd-man out in a roster crunch after the Red Sox picked up reliever Erik Miller from the Giants at the trade deadline. The 28-year-old has delivered a respectable 4.53 ERA across 55 2/3 innings in his first shot at the highest level. There should be some interest on waivers.
Tyler Samaniego

BOS Starting Pitcher #78

Red Sox optioned LHP Tyler Samaniego to minor league camp.

The 27-year-old left-hander came over from the Pirates in a trade this offseason along with Johan Oviedo. Samaniego had a good spring, throwing 5 1/3 shutout innings while allowing just one hit and striking out six. However, he has minor league options left, and the Red Sox have three other left-handed relievers in their bullpen, so they opted to send Samaniego to the minors and kept Ryan Watson on the team. Watson is a Rule 5 pick, so he would have needed to be sent back to the Athletics if he didn’t make the Opening Day roster.

BOS Relief Pitcher

Red Sox acquired RHP Ryan Watson from the Athletics in exchange for INF Justin Riemer.

Watson was drafted in the Rule 5 draft by the A’s, but his chance to make his MLB mark will come with Boston. The 28-year-old will need to pitch well this spring to have any shot of making the Opening Day roster.
Ryan Watson

ATH Relief Pitcher

Athletics selected RHP Ryan Watson from the Giants with the sixth pick in the Rule 5 draft.

He’ll be traded to the Red Sox for infielder Justin Riemer, according to MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo. The 28-year-old Watson has been a steady minor league reliever for several years, but it wasn’t enough to get him a chance with the Orioles or with the Giants, who acquired him in Aug. 2024. He had a 4.26 ERA and a 64/16 K/BB in 50 2/3 innings for the Giants’ Triple-A club last season.
Ryan Watson

SF Relief Pitcher

Giants acquired RHP Ryan Watson from the Orioles for cash considerations.

The 26-year-old hurler has done a nice job in his limited minor league action this season, registering a 2.38 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and a 23/7 K/BB ratio over 22 2/3 innings between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk. He’ll add bullpen depth for the Giants.

Giants placed INF Nate Furman on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to September 16, with a right oblique strain.

The Giants had been hopeful that Furman would be able to play through the issue, but after a couple of days it made more sense to sit him down and let the injury heal properly. Victor Bericoto was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Friday night.

Giants recalled RHP Duncan Davitt from Triple-A Sacramento.

Davitt will get his first opportunity to show the Giants what he can do after he was plucked off of waivers from the Braves earlier in the month. the 26-year-old hurler holds a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 1/1 K/BB ratio over two innings in two appearances at the MLB level this season.

Giants placed RHP Logan Webb on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to September 15, with a right middle finger blister.

That will unfortunately end the 29-year-old right-hander’s season prematurely. Webb finishes the 2026 campaign with a 4.31 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 134/41 K/BB ratio over 160 2/3 innings in his 27 starts. He obviously has plenty of time to overcome the blister issue before the start of the 2027 season.

Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Friday that Jazz Chisholm Jr. (thumb) is doing well and is expected to be activated from the injured list during the team’s upcoming homestand.

Chisholm has been shelved since September 9 due to a right thumb sprain. It sounds like he’s making considerable progress in his recovery though and could only be days away from a return to the Yankees’ lineup.

The Angels announced that the MRI on the injured pitching arm of left-hander Samy Natera Jr. revealed no structural damage and that he will not require surgery.
