Snead was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Snead had a one-day stint with the Blue Jays in early September and will now return to the major-league club. The 26-year-old has appeared in seven games for Toronto and given up two runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts and two walks over 7.2 innings.

Zimmermann (ankle) is expected to start Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

He gave up five earned runs while striking out nine in 6.1 innings through two rehab starts. Zimmermann will take the rotation spot of Keegan Akin, who is done for the year with a left adductor strain. Zimmermann could make two starts next week if the Orioles stick with a five-man rotation.

With Tyler Wells (shoulder inflammation) done for the season, Sulser seems like the most likely candidate to get saves for Baltimore down the stretch.

He has a 1.34 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, 11 strikeouts, two wins, two saves and three holds over his last 13.1 innings and currently boasts a nine-inning scoreless streak. Wells got two saves this week prior to landing on the injured list. The Orioles have a three-game homestand against Boston next week before finishing the season with a three-game road series in Toronto.

Cisnero (elbow laceration) is unlikely to return this season, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Manager AJ Hinch said Saturday that it would be "improbable" for Cisnero to return this year, although the team is not ruling it out. He is still dealing with swelling around the laceration in his elbow and he's got less than 10 days before the season wraps up.

Fleming was recalled from Triple-A Durham prior to Saturday's game against the Marlins, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

He compiled an 8.84 ERA, 2.07 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 18.1 innings across five MLB appearances in August. Dietrich Enns was sent down in a corresponding move. Fleming is likely to work as a low-leverage reliever.

Staumont walked two and struck out two over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn a hold in Friday's 3-1 win over Detroit.

The right-hander got the last out of the seventh inning after Jake Brentz struggled. Staumont then worked out of his own jam in the eighth to record his 15th hold of the season. The 27-year-old has added five saves and a 3-3 record across 61 appearances while logging a 3.03 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 69:27 K:BB as a reliable high-leverage option.

Tapia (4-0) allowed a run on two hits and a walk in one inning, earning the win Friday versus Detroit.

The right-hander took a blown save when he allowed a game-tying RBI single to Eric Haase in the sixth inning, but Kansas City restored its lead in the seventh. Tapia saw his 13-inning scoreless streak end Friday, but he's still given up just three runs with a 20:11 K:BB in 25.2 innings since the start of August. He owns a 1.76 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB over 30.2 innings overall while gradually working into more high-leverage spots.

Stephan (3-1) took the loss Friday, allowing one run on two hits with three strikeouts in two innings versus the White Sox.

The 25-year-old gave up the only run in the game on a Luis Robert solo home run in the fifth inning. Stephan's ratios aren't great this year (4.62 ERA, 1.43 WHIP), but Friday's loss was the first he's taken in 41 appearances. He's added a save and two holds, but he's also posted a 5.58 FIP, which indicates he's gotten a little lucky. Expect the right-hander to finish the year in a low-leverage role.

Herget (2-2) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit while striking out one and recording just one out to take the loss to the Mariners on Friday.

Herget entered the game with two outs and runners on the corners in the sixth inning. He got out of the inning without letting any runs score, but in the seventh he allowed the first two runners to reach base and eventually score. He has allowed three runs in 10.1 innings over 10 appearances in September. The 27-year-old has a 3.94 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 18 strikeouts in 16 innings this season.

Sewald pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out one to earn the save in the win over the Angels on Friday.

Sewald entered the ninth inning with a one-run lead. He intentionally walked two batters and gave up a double to load the bases with one out. However, he had a crucial strikeout against Jack Mayfield and managed to get out of the inning to secure his save and the win. This was Sewald's second save in back-to-back games, and he and Drew Steckenrider both have four saves each in September. The former is 11-for-15 in save opportunities this season.
