The Mariners optioned Burgos to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Burgos did a fine job in his first four major-league relief appearances, yielding three runs with an 8:2 K:BB over 6.2 innings. His spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen is being absorbed by lefty Brandyn Garcia, who was called up from Tacoma.

Nittoli agreed to a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Nittoli opted out of his minor-league pact with the Brewers last week and has quickly landed in a new organization. The 34-year-old last appeared in the big leagues with the Orioles in 2024, making two scoreless appearances. Nittoli will report to Triple-A Norfolk.

The Blue Jays recalled Fluharty from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Fluharty was sent down earlier this month following a rough stretch in which he surrendered 13 runs (12 earned) over his last 7.1 innings. The lefty seemed to right the ship at Buffalo, allowing one run with an 8:2 K:BB in 4.2 frames. Fluharty will give manager John Schneider a third southpaw in the bullpen ahead of a big series against the Yankees.

The Blue Jays optioned Pina to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Pina had been with the big club for more than two weeks but made only one appearance during that time, allowing three runs (one earned) over 1.1 innings. Lefty Mason Fluharty was recalled from Triple-A to take Pina's spot in the bullpen.

Akin (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Akin has missed most of July with left shoulder inflammation but is ready to test himself in a game setting. Because the left-hander's absence has been relatively brief, Akin will likely require just a couple rehab appearances before rejoining the Orioles' active roster.

Nance struck out three over 1.2 perfect relief innings to record his first hold of the season in Sunday's win over the Giants.

The 34-year-old right-hander was called up to bolster an injury-ravaged Toronto bullpen last weekend, and Nance has been surprisingly effective, allowing just an unearned run over three appearances and 3.2 innings with a 5:1 K:BB. With the Blue Jays likely to add more depth at the trade deadline and set to get setup options like Yimi Garcia (ankle/elbow) and Nick Sandlin (elbow) back in the next couple weeks, Nance's stay in the majors could end up being fairly brief.

Sandlin (elbow) has begun playing catch, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old righty has had trouble staying healthy in his first season with the Blue Jays, but he's been effective when available, posting a 2.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB with a save and six holds over 16.1 innings and 19 appearances. Sandlin's latest injury, a bout of elbow inflammation, has sidelined him since July 7, but now that he's resumed a throwing progression he could be ready to rejoin the Toronto bullpen by the end of the month.

Martin is likely to be placed on the 15-day injured list after suffering a left calf strain during Sunday's loss to the Tigers, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The severity of the strain is unclear, but it seems to be bad enough that Martin will be shelved for at least a couple weeks. The veteran reliever has been a high-leverage arm for the Rangers this season, collecting a 2.36 ERA and 36:6 K:BB over 34.1 innings while notching a pair of saves.

Hill earned a hold against Atlanta on Sunday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.

Hill handled the eighth inning Sunday, throwing 10 of 11 pitches for strikes and working around a one-out single to set up closer Devin Williams with a two-run lead. The left-handed Hill is up to 10 holds on the campaign, his most since the 2021 season, when he was with San Diego. Five of those holds have come over his past 11 outings, a span in which he's recorded a 2.31 ERA with a 7:1 K:BB across 11.2 frames.

Stephenson (biceps) has resumed throwing and is currently playing catch from up to 90 feet, per MLB.com.

Stephenson landed on the 15-day injured list due to right biceps inflammation in early June and was subsequently shut down from throwing for several weeks. He resumed playing catch June 30 but continued to experience discomfort and had his throwing program halted again until July 7. Stephenson is now back to building up, but considering that he hasn't yet thrown from a mound, he's unlikely to be activated until August, at the earliest.
