The Angles designated Anderson for assignment Wednesday.

Anderson was acquired by the Angels in March in a trade with Atlanta. He's given up at least three earned runs in three of his seven outings with the Angels this season and has an 11.57 ERA and 2.57 WHIP across 9.1 innings. Anderson will report to Triple-A Salt Lake if he does not get claimed off waivers.

The Angels selected Edwards' contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old righty will join the active roster to replace Ian Anderson, who was designated for assignment Wednesday. Edwards has been a strong bullpen option for Salt Lake this year, logging a 1.54 ERA through 11.2 innings alongside a 13:3 K:BB. He'll likely be used in middle relief while with the Angels, and he's also capable of working multiple innings out of the bullpen.

Harvey (shoulder) played catch Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Harvey landed on the 15-day injured list April 11 due to a right teres major strain. He's progressed enough in his recovery to start a throwing program, and he'll continue to ramp up his activity over the coming weeks. Harvey tossed 5.1 scoreless innings across six outings prior to going on the IL, allowing one hit and striking out seven batters without issuing a walk over that span.

Leclerc was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right lat strain.

The right-hander departed Tuesday's contest with what was originally labeled shoulder soreness, but he's since been diagnosed with a lat strain. Leclerc will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks, but a lengthier absence wouldn't be surprising given the nature of the injury. Justin Sterner and Tyler Ferguson should serve as the Athletics' high-leverage relievers ahead of closer Mason Miller.

The Athletics optioned Lopez to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Lopez has pitched 4.1 scoreless innings across three appearances since being recalled from Triple-A on Friday, but the 27-year-old will be sent back down to the minors in favor of fresh arms Hogan Harris and Grant Holman. Lopez also owns a 2.45 ERA through 14.2 minor-league innings this season, and there's a good chance he'll end up back in the Athletics' bullpen at some point.

The Athletics recalled Holman from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Holman and southpaw Hogan Harris will bolster the A's bullpen after Jacob Lopez was optioned to Triple-A and Jose Leclerc (lat) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Holman hasn't yielded a run over nine innings of work in Las Vegas, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out nine. He appeared in 18 games for the Athletics in 2024 and finished with a 4.02 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB in 15.2 innings.

The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

With Jacob Lopez heading down to the minors and Jose Leclerc (lat) landing on the injured list, the A's will promote Harris and Grant Holman to replenish their bullpen depth. Harris has made six appearances at Las Vegas this season, giving up five earned runs across 9.1 innings while striking out 12 batters and walking five. He'll presumably work in middle relief while with the big club.

The Mariners optioned Lao to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Lao allowed one unearned run with a 3:0 K:BB over a 1.2-inning relief appearance during his major-league debut Tuesday against the Red Sox. He's being replaced by a fresh bullpen arm, with Casey Lawrence absorbing his spot on the roster.

The Mariners selected Lawrence's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Lawrence was just outrighted off the 40-man roster Tuesday but is back again to provide length in the bullpen. The veteran right-hander has permitted two earned runs with a 1:1 K:BB over five frames in the majors this season.

White Sox manager Will Venable confirmed that Wilson will start Wednesday's game against the Twins in Minnesota, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.

After Venable previously suggested that Wilson was on track to serve as a bulk reliever Wednesday, the right-hander will instead begin the game on the mound as he steps into the rotation spot vacated by Martin Perez (elbow), who isn't expected back until late in the 2025 season. Though he's previously made 52 career starts in the majors, Wilson has operated exclusively as a reliever in 2025 and will likely have his workload monitored carefully Wednesday. Wilson, however, should be capable of providing more length than a typical opening pitcher, as he made a three-inning, 64-pitch appearance back on April 4. With a strong showing Wednesday, Wilson should have a chance at sticking around in the rotation on a more permanent basis while Perez faces a long-term absence.
