Gage was recalled by the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Gage was optioned Friday but will return just one day later with Trevor Richards (neck) hitting the injured list. Gage allowed one run on two hits across five innings of relief work during his previous stint in the majors, his only big-league experience to date.

Richards was placed on the 15-day injured list with a neck strain Saturday.

Richards hasn't been pitching well lately, allowing 12 runs in eight innings across his last eight appearances, though it's unclear exactly how much of that can be attributed to the injury. Matt Gage was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.

Neris is available out of the Astros' bullpen for Saturday's game against the White Sox after serving his three-game suspension, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Neris was unavailable for the last three games after MLB determined that he intentionally threw at the Mariners' Eugenio Suarez on June 7. Over five appearances since the start of June, the right-hander picked up two holds while giving up six runs in four innings.

Gillaspie was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

Gillaspie pitched well during most of his time with the major-league club, but he gave up four runs on five hits and no walks in one-third of an inning during his most recent appearance. The right-hander will head back to the minors after Joey Krehbiel (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Krehbiel (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Krehbiel dealt with right shoulder inflammation over the last few weeks but will rejoin the Orioles' bullpen after missing the minimum of 15 days. Over his last 10 relief appearances, he picked up three holds while posting a 2.31 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 11.2 innings.

Kay (undisclosed) began a rehab assignment with the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Coast League affiliate Saturday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

Kay has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury since late April but has been cleared for a rehab assignment nearly two months later. Once he's back to full health, he should be assigned to Triple-A Buffalo.

Pardinho (elbow) will join the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Coast League affiliate for a rehab assignment Saturday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

Pardinho underwent Tommy John surgery in February of 2020, but he's built up over the last few months and has been cleared to return to game action. The right-hander sustained a setback while playing rookie ball last year, so the Blue Jays will likely exercise plenty of caution before ultimately sending him to another minor-league affiliate.

Rosenberg will be called up from Triple-A Salt Lake to start Sunday's game against the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rosenberg's first two major-league appearances came as a reliever, and he allowed five runs while striking out seven in six innings. He was sent to the minors in early June but will rejoin the big-league club to make his first career start in the majors Sunday. Over seven starts with Salt Lake this year, he's posted a 2.34 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 34.2 innings.

Bautista (3-2) earned the win Friday over the Rays. He struck out three across 1.1 perfect innings.

Bautista was the beneficiary of Adley Rutschman's RBI single in the seventh inning, which accounted for the lone run in the contest. Across his last 12.1 innings, Bautista has allowed only one unearned run with eight hits and four walks while adding 12 strikeouts. The 26-year-old continues to dominate in a high-leverage role with a 1.65 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 29:10 K:BB, two saves and seven holds through 27.1 innings this season.

De Los Santos walked one and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning to earn his first career save in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.

The right-hander put the winning run on base with two outs in the 10th inning, but he struck out Justin Turner to end the threat. The save chance Friday fell to De Los Santos after Emmanuel Clase had converted saves on four of the five previous days and needed rest. De Los Santos has a hold and a 1-0 record to go with a steady 2.45 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB through 18.1 innings overall, though he's not expected to compete for closing duties any time soon.
