Hernandez will have his contract selected from Triple-A Columbus ahead of Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Guardians Prospective reports.

Hernandez has been decent at Triple-A since being activated from the 60-day injured list near the end of July, though one blowup outing against Saint Paul on Aug. 20 has inflated his ERA to 5.40 over 13.1 innings (12 appearances). He'll be called on to provide bullpen support for the Guardians once rosters expand Tuesday.

Leasure underwent surgery to repair a torn UCL in August, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Leasure will miss the remainder of this season and likely all of next season while on the mend. Fegan notes that the right-hander hopes to be ready for spring of 2028. Leasure landed on the injured list in late May with a right flexor strain, and while he had been cleared to resume throwing side sessions at the beginning of August, it was ultimately determined that he needed to go under the knife to repair his UCL.

Texas recalled Peoples from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

The Rangers cleared a spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Peoples by placing Cole Winn (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list. Over his two previous stints with the Rangers this season, Peoples made 14 relief appearances and pitched to a 2.51 ERA and 1.19. WHIP across 14.1 innings.

The Rangers recalled Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Just four days after being sent down to Round Rock, Ahlstrom is back with the big-league club. His numbers with Texas this season include a 3-1 record, 6.03 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB over 31.1 innings. The Rangers placed Peyton Gray (elbow) on the 15-day injured list, freeing a spot on the active roster for Ahlstrom.

The Rangers placed Winn on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a right rotator cuff strain.

Winn hadn't pitched since Tuesday, when he allowed two runs on five hits over 1.1 innings in a relief appearance against the White Sox. The Rangers haven't revealed the severity of Winn's strain, but he won't be eligible for activation until at least Sept. 12 as a result of the transaction. Texas recalled right-hander Ben Peoples from Triple-A Round Rock to replace Winn in the bullpen.

Texas placed Gray on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right elbow inflammation.

The 31-year-old has struggled over his last 15 appearances out of the Texas bullpen, registering a 5.17 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB through 15.2 innings. The Rangers recalled Robby Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock to replace Gray in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster.

The Tigers designated Rainey for assignment Monday.

Rainey was charged with three runs while recording only one out in an appearance Sunday versus the Dodgers, and in seven innings with the Tigers this season has a 6:8 K:BB. He will likely pass through waivers.

The Tigers recalled Diaz from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

After being claimed off waivers in late June, Diaz has turned in a 2.37 ERA and 21:14 K:BB over 19 innings with Toledo and has made one scoreless appearance for the Tigers. Diaz is likely ticketed for middle relief in Detroit.

Crochet (lat/shoulder) was spotted playing catch off the mound Monday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Crochet has taken the latest step forward in his throwing progression as he works his way back from left shoulder and lat discomfort, which has kept him out of commission since late April. The southpaw won't have enough time to rebuild his stamina to return as a starting pitcher, but the Red Sox are optimistic that he can contribute as a reliever at some point in September.

The Mariners placed Davila on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right SC joint sprain in his shoulder.

Davila had just been recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, and he hurt himself in an appearance later that day in the Mariners' 7-0 loss to the Blue Jays. Though he will be eligible for activation in mid-September, the nature of the injury points to Davila being out longer than that, possibly for the rest of the season.
