Weber's contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

Weber rejoined the Yankees on a minor-league deal in late July and posted a 6.00 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 15 innings over six appearances at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre over the last month. He should serve as a multi-inning reliever now that he's back in the big leagues.

Moran was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Moran rejoined the Twins' bullpen Monday but made just one relief appearance during his stint with the big-league club. He allowed a run on three hits and no walks while striking out five in three innings Wednesday against the Red Sox but will head back to the minors after Tyler Mahle (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list Saturday.

Taylor (back) won't return this season, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Taylor hasn't thrown a major-league pitch this season, and his rehab assignment was shut down in mid-July. With time running out, the Red Sox have now officially confirmed that he'll miss the full year due his back troubles.

Tate (3-3) allowed a hit and struck out one over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Athletics.

Manager Brandon Hyde opted not to go to Felix Bautista for a third straight day. Tate got the last out in the eighth inning and then benefited from Baltimore taking the lead in their half of the frame. He got Vimael Machin to ground into a double play to end the game. Tate has allowed three runs in his last seven innings, adding a save, two holds, a blown save and a win in seven appearances in that span. The setup man has a 2.64 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 52:10 K:BB with three saves and 14 holds through 61.1 innings overall.

Santana will start a bullpen game against the Red Sox on Saturday.

Santana has struck out seven in 3.2 scoreless innings over his last two appearances, and he'll make his first career start as Saturday's opener. The Rangers haven't designated a primary pitcher, but Santana hasn't lasted longer than two innings in any of his appearances this season.

Ridings (shoulder) has been facing live hitters and is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.

Ridings hasn't pitched in a game for over a year and has made very slow progress in his recovery from a right shoulder impingement. However, he appears to have finally turned a corner, as Goodman reports that the righty reliever has been throwing without pain. With the season winding down, it's uncertain if Ridings will have enough time to fully ramp up and join the Yankees' bullpen, but it remains a possibility if he begins a minor-league rehab assignment in short order and doesn't encounter any setbacks.

Rosenberg (arm) was reinstated from Triple-A Salt Lake's injured list last week and returned to action Sunday, covering two innings and striking out three while allowing two earned runs on four hits.

Rosenberg had been out of action since early July with the unspecified arm injury before he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League in mid-August. Though he possesses a spot on the Angels' 40-man roster, Rosenberg may need to string together a few quality performances at Triple-A to earn a promotion back to the majors in September.

Martinez is scheduled to start Sunday's game in Baltimore.

Martinez looked as though he might have been at risk of moving to the bullpen after the Athletics summoned Ken Waldichuk from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Thursday, but at least for this week, Oakland will expand their rotation to six men to open up spots for both rookies. Though Martinez owns an unremarkable 5.28 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over six outings with Oakland this season, he turned in the best start of his young career his last time out Aug. 28, when he limited the Yankees to one run while allowing five baserunners and striking out career-high six batters over 5.1 innings.

Curry, who was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, will start Saturday's game against the Mariners.

He'll be one of two rookie pitchers starting for the Guardians on consecutive days, as Cody Morris made his MLB debut in Friday's 6-1 loss to Seattle after Cleveland placed rotation members Zach Plesac (hand) and Aaron Civale (forearm) on the 15-day injured list prior to the contest. Morris covered only two innings while serving as more of an opener, but Curry should be capable of giving the Guardians more length after he worked at least six frames in seven of his starts in the minors this season. Curry previously made his MLB debut as a spot starter back on Aug. 15, when he took a no-decision against the Tigers after giving up three runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings.

Hentges walked one and struck out one over two scoreless innings during Friday's 6-1 loss to the Mariners.

Hentges saw a 13.1-inning scoreless streak end Wednesday versus Baltimore, but he was right back at it Friday. The southpaw has impressed as a reliever this year, logging a 2.96 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 53:16 K:BB across 48.2 innings while adding a 3-2 record and two holds. Despite his development as a starter previously, it's unclear if he's in contention to stretch out late in the year after starters Zach Plesac (hand) and Aaron Civale (forearm) were placed on the injured list Friday. Cody Morris, who made his major-league debut as Friday's starter, also pitched two innings, surrendering three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks.
