Bachman exited his start for Double-A Rocket City on Saturday due to back spasms, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Bachman is merely considered day-to-day for now. Through four starts for Rocket City this season, he owns a 1.98 ERA, but his 8:8 K:BB hardly suggests that performance is anything close to sustainable.

Garcia left Friday's Triple-A contest with two outs in the second inning after losing feeling in his fingers, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

The organization has yet to release an update on Garcia's status, so it's unclear if he suffered an injury or was removed for precautionary reasons. Before his exit, the right-hander allowed three runs and five hits -- all in the second inning -- and didn't walk or strike out any batters. Garcia has struggled in the minors this season, posting a 10.38 ERA, 2.26 WHIP and 18:16 K:BB across 21.2 innings.

Giles (finger) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Giles injured a tendon in his right middle finger shortly before the start of the regular season, delaying his return from Tommy John surgery. He'll pitch in an official game for the first time in over 20 months when he first appears for Tacoma, though he'll likely need more than just an outing or two before he's activated from the injured list given the length of his absence.

Pruitt's contract was selected by the Athletics on Saturday.

Pruitt joined the Athletics on a minor-league deal in March, and he posted a 3.27 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 22 innings over 12 relief appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas to begin the year. The right-hander made just six major-league appearances between the Marlins and Astros last year, and he should serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever in Oakland.

Moran was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The southpaw was sent to the minors in early May, but he'll rejoin the Twins with Danny Coulombe (hip) going on the 15-day injured list. Moran made two relief appearances for the Twins earlier in the year and struck out five over 2.2 scoreless innings.

Coulombe was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left hip impingement.

Coulombe was reinstated from the 15-day IL on Friday, but he aggravated his hip injury during his relief appearance against the Royals in which he allowed a run on two hits and two walks in one-third of an inning. The southpaw had a fairly brief stint on the injured list recently, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to miss more time during his latest absence.

Perez (3-0) retired the only batter he faced to earn the win in Friday's game versus the Red Sox.

Perez got the last out in the eighth inning to keep the game tied at eight, and the Orioles' offense tacked on four runs in the ninth to earn him the win. Perez has not seen much work in high-leverage situations, but he has posted a 0.64 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB across 14 innings. He's added three holds, though his 3.64 FIP and .364 BABIP suggest he's been fairly fortunate in 2022.

The Orioles recalled Reyes from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com. He's expected to start the second game of the team's doubleheader with the Red Sox.

Baltimore also selected the contract of Triple-A rotation mate Cody Sedlock, so Reyes could have a short leash in his first MLB start if Sedlock goes unused in the first game of the twin bill and is available for the nightcap. Over his five outings at Norfolk this season, Reyes has produced a solid 28:5 K:BB across 24 innings, but he's posted a 6.38 ERA and 1.42 WHIP.

Sedlock's contract was selected by the Orioles on Saturday.

Sedlock made eight appearances (four starts) at Triple-A Norfolk to begin the season, and he posted a 5.83 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 29.1 innings. Although the right-hander has operated in a hybrid role in the minors, he'll pitch out of the bullpen to begin his major-league career.

Brasier was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

Brasier struggled with the Red Sox over the first month and a half of the season, posting a 6.28 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 14.1 innings over 18 relief appearances. The right-hander was sent down last week but tossed two scoreless innings in Worcester following his demotion. He'll now rejoin Boston's bullpen after Hansel Robles (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday.
