The Athletics reinstated Suarez (hip) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Suarez has fully recovered from a right hip strain that landed him on the 15-day injured list Aug. 12. He'll return to the Athletics' bullpen with a 5.22 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, three holds and a 60:25 K:BB over 58.2 innings across three teams this season. Drew Rom was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move.

The Twins designated Go for assignment Friday.

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Walker Jenkins. Go surrendered four runs over four innings of work with the Twins earlier this season and has been knocked around for 13 runs across 8.1 frames with St. Paul.

The Rangers recalled Macko from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Macko will come up for his first stint with the big-league club since being traded from Toronto on Aug. 3. With Round Rock, the 25-year-old has posted a 5.63 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB over eight innings. Texas demoted Robby Ahlstrom to Triple-A to make room for Macko in the bullpen.

The Blue Jays recalled Van Eyk from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

He's grabbing the roster spot vacated by Simeon Woods Richardson, who was designated for assignment. Van Eyk last pitched for Buffalo on Sunday, throwing four innings in a start, so he is rested and will give the Toronto bullpen some long relief protection.

The Blue Jays designated Woods Richardson for assignment Friday.

The transaction comes one day after Woods Richardson was tagged for six runs while recording only three outs in Thursday's loss to the Royals. Because he's previously been outrighted, Woods Richardson would have the ability to elect free agency if he passes through waivers again. The 25-year-old has collected a 6.68 ERA and 40:37 K:BB over 66 innings between the Twins and Blue Jays in 2026.

The White Sox promoted Gilbert from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Gilbert will make his first appearance with the big-league club since early June after being sidelined for almost two months with a shoulder injury. Over 20 games in Charlotte, the southpaw owns a 5-2 record, 4.64 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB in 33 innings this season. Chicago placed Tyler Schweitzer on paternity leave to create room for Gilbert on the active roster.

The White Sox placed Schweitzer on the paternity leave list Friday.

Schweitzer will miss up to three contests while welcoming a new child to the family. The White Sox recalled Tyler Gilbert to fill Schweitzer's spot in the bullpen.

Way (back/shoulder) was pulled off his rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha and will be re-evaluated Friday in Kansas City, per MLB.com.

Way made two rehab appearances, one with Double-A Northwest Arkansas and another with Triple-A Omaha, without experiencing any issues related to the low-back spasms and tightness that landed him on the injured list. However, mild right shoulder discomfort has now paused his progress. The 27-year-old has made 19 appearances with the Royals this season, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB across 23.1 innings, but any kind of significant setback in his recovery could prevent him from pitching in the majors again in 2026.

The Rangers optioned Ahlstrom to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

Ahlstrom loses his spot in the bullpen after being knocked around for 10 runs over his last 5.1 innings covering six appearances. It's unclear what the corresponding roster move will be, but the Rangers will announce one before Friday's game in Milwaukee.

Blubaugh earned a hold in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Yankees, allowing one hit while striking out three over two scoreless innings.

Blubaugh continues to impress since shifting to Houston's bullpen. The right-hander has held opponents scoreless in 11 of his last 13 appearances, posting a 0.93 ERA and 0.78 WHIP across 19.1 innings in that span. Blubaugh's ERA is down to 3.17 through 82.1 innings this season with a 1.17 WHIP and 84:34 K:BB. He's totaled seven holds and one save.
