The Twins recalled Adams from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Adams made his MLB debut earlier this season, pitching in four games out of the bullpen for the Twins. He registered an 8.03 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB across 12.1 innings of work. Adams will help fill the void in Minnesota's bullpen following the trade deadline.

Scholtens (elbow) resumed his rehab assignment July 13 and has allowed six runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out 11 over 8.1 innings in three outings with Triple-A Charlotte.

Scholtens, who is working his way back from March 2024 Tommy John surgery, began a rehab assignment May 6 before experiencing elbow discomfort June 4. After taking about a month off, the righty is now building back up again. He tossed 3.1 innings and 64 pitches in his latest start for Charlotte this past Saturday, so he'll likely require at least one or two more rehab outings before he'll be ready for activation. The White Sox wouldn't appear to have a starting role available for Scholtens, so he could work out of the bullpen or out of the rotation at Triple-A once he's reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

Dubin (forearm) made his first rehab appearance Tuesday at Triple-A Sugar Land, striking out a batter while allowing an earned run on one hit over two-thirds of an inning.

Tuesday's appearance was Dubin's first at any level since June 20, as he's been on the shelf for more than a month while recovering from a right forearm strain. He'll likely remain with Sugar Land at least through the weekend to continue his rehab assignment before Houston potentially adds him back to the big-league bullpen in the first week of August.

Criswell will start Friday's game against the Astros, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The right-hander was called up from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday and will step into Boston's rotation to fill the spot vacated by Richard Fitts' demotion earlier this week. Criswell, who's worked out of the bullpen in each of his six MLB appearances this year, has a 5.06 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 5:3 K:BB over 10.2 innings. The 29-year-old righty may be in line for just a spot start, as the newly acquired Dustin May is scheduled to start Sunday's series finale and could stick as the fifth member of the rotation over Criswell moving forward.

Ferguson threw a clean seventh inning with no strikeouts in Thursday's 6-0 win over the Rangers.

Ferguson got off on the right foot in his team debut, though it's worth noting he entered in a low-leverage situation as the Mariners nursed a 6-0 lead. While the 29-year-old southpaw may not be part of the high-leverage mix right off the bat, it's not out of the question that he'll eventually work his way into a setup role behind closer Andres Munoz. Ferguson is just one of two active lefties in Seattle's bullpen along with Gabe Speier.

Thornton was on crutches following Thursday's game against the Rangers and believes he suffered a serious Achilles injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Thornton was injured while trying to cover first base late in Thursday's game and appeared to suffer a serious leg injury. He'll be sent for an MRI on Friday, at which time a diagnosis should become official.

Thornton suffered a left leg injury Thursday against the Rangers and departed on a cart, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Thornton entered the game in the eighth inning and successfully recorded five outs. He then suffered what appeared to be a serious leg injury while trying to cover first base. Thornton will almost certainly need a stint on the injured list, but just how long he'll be sidelined remains to be seen.

Hiraldo was recalled by the Orioles on Thursday.

Hiraldo has spent most of the season in the minors but has made three appearances in the majors. The Orioles are dealing with injuries and also traded away depth in their bullpen, so Hiraldo could get an extended look in the majors down the stretch.

De Los Santos was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

De Los Santos was activated from the injured list Saturday and has made two scoreless appearances since. The Yankees made a flurry of additions to their bullpen at the trade deadline, costing De Los Santos his spot on the big-league roster.

Hamilton was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

Hamilton had been fairly effective for the first three months of the season, but his ERA ballooned to 6.10 across 10.1 innings in July. He could contribute in the majors again in 2025, though he'll likely be limited to low leverage given New York's stacked bullpen.
