The Blue Jays recalled Pearson from Triple-A Buffalo ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Astros.

Reliever Rafael Dolis (calf) was moved to the 10-day injured list to clear a spot on the active roster for Pearson, who will be making his 2021 debut for the Blue Jays after a spring groin injury sidelined him for the first month-plus of the season. Pearson worked 3.2 innings and covered 78 pitches in his most recent outing at Triple-A on May 4, so he should be stretched out enough to handle a typical starter's workload Sunday.

Wilson (1-0) earned the win over Washington on Saturday, pitching a perfect inning and striking out a pair.

This was a well-deserved win for Wilson, who had to deal with the extra-innings leadoff runner at second base but managed to keep the Nationals off the scoreboard in the 11th frame. The left-hander had allowed a combined five earned runs over his previous three appearances, so Saturday's effort could go a long way toward righting the ship. Wilson has a 6.23 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB across 8.2 innings this season.

The Mariners selected Chargois' contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

He'll join the Seattle bullpen as a replacement for starter Ljay Newsome, who was placed on the 10-day injured list after exiting his start against the Rangers early Saturday due to right elbow inflammation. The 30-year-old Chargois, who owns a 4.58 ERA across 85 career MLB appearances, is expected to work mostly in lower-leverage spots.

The Orioles placed Tate on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

Tate has worked in middle relief for Baltimore this season, picking up two holds while posting a 3.46 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB in 13 innings over 11 appearances. Rather than replacing Tate on the active roster with another reliever, Baltimore elected to recall outfielder Ryan McKenna from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.

Hentges and Cleveland won't face Cincinnati on Sunday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

The two teams will make up the game Aug. 9. Hentges was scheduled to make his third career MLB start Sunday after he was battered for five runs (four earned) on 11 hits and two walks over 6.1 innings in his first two outings. Due to his poor results and his standing as Cleveland's No. 5 starter, Hentges could be pushed to the back of the team's pitching schedule heading into the upcoming week.

Scrubb threw 1.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's 8-4 loss to Toronto.

Scrubb retired all five batters faced and provided space for Houston's bats to overcome a 5-0 deficit in what was his longest outing of the season. The right-hander has retired nine consecutive batters.

Duffey (0-2) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Tigers after allowing four runs on three hits and a walk across two-thirds of an inning.

Duffey didn't have his best stuff in this game, as he only tossed 12 of his 23 pitches for strikes and was unable to slow down the Tigers' offense. Duffey ended a streak of four straight appearances without an earned run and did it in the worst possible way, allowing season-worst marks in several categories such as runs allowed and hits allowed, while also failing to strike out an opponent for the third time over his last four appearances.

Fulmer (2-2) earned the win in relief Saturday against the Twins after pitching 2.2 scoreless innings, giving up one hit and one walk while fanning three.

Fulmer recorded the final two outs of the fifth inning and cruised until the end of the seventh, allowing just two baserunners and tossing 28 of his 47 pitches for strikes. Fulmer has started in four of his 10 appearances but has been effective as a reliever so far. He has gone five straight appearances allowing two or fewer runs and has now recorded two straight scoreless appearances.

Trivino picked up his sixth save of the season Saturday against the Rays after giving up one hit and one walk while fanning two across 1.1 innings.

Trivino was coming off a woeful performance in his previous outing, but he bounced back here. The 29-year-old right-hander was called upon in the eighth with one out and struck out Mike Brosseau to end the inning, but things got a bit more complicated in the ninth -- he loaded the bases with no outs. However, he still found a way to get the job done. Trivino is now 6-for-7 in save chances and should remain as one of the Athletics' top options for saves.

Lowther (0-1) took the loss Saturday as the Orioles were trounced 11-6 by the Red Sox, surrendering seven runs on seven hits and two walks over 2.1 innings. He struck out three.

The rookie lefty got through the first inning of his first big-league start unscathed, but things went downhill rapidly for Lowther after that. He tossed 40 of 65 pitches before getting the hook, and Baltimore may consider other options rather than give the 25-year-old another turn in the rotation.
