The Twins recalled Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Houston recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.

Hernandez will take Brandon Walter's (elbow) spot on the active roster as Walter heads to the injured list. Hernandez has a 1.70 ERA in 37 innings of relief with Sugar Land this season, and he's yielded two runs in two innings with the Astros.

With Hunter Harvey (shoulder) back from the 60-day IL, Bowlan will be dispatched back to the minors. Bowlan has appeared in 16 games out of the bullpen for the Royals this season, registering a 4.64 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across 21.1 innings of action.

The Royals activated Harvey (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

Harvey hasn't pitched in the big leagues since April 7 due to a shoulder strain, but he appeared in three rehab games and is ready to return to the Royals' bullpen. Harvey was off to a hot start this season, registering a 0.00 ERA, 0.19 WHIP and 7:0 K:BB across 5.1 innings prior to his injury. Harvey should slot back in as a top setup man for Kansas City.

Foster and Wellington Aracena were acquired by the Orioles from the Mets on Friday in exchange for reliever Gregory Soto, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

A 14th-round pick by the Mets in 2022, Foster is now on the move ahead of the trade deadline. The 26-year-old has spent most of this season at the Double-A level, where he has a 1.01 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 34:5 K:BB across 26.2 innings.

Miller struck out one and walked one in 1.1 scoreless innings to secure the save in Thursday's 4-2 win against the Astros.

Miller has converted his past six save chances and hasn't given up a run in his last 10 appearances. It's been a bit of an up-and-down campaign for the A's closer, but he still has a 3.86 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 58:18 K:BB over 37.1 innings while going 20-for-23 in save opportunities.
