The Blue Jays transferred Sandlin (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

This move doesn't affect Sandlin's timeline for a return, as he had been on the shelf since July 8. His throwing program has been paused multiple times during his ramp-up from right elbow inflammation, and he recently got an anti-inflammatory injection. Sandlin is expected to resume throwing once the shot takes full effect.

The Blue Jays selected Tate's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Tate was up in the majors earlier this season, yielding three runs with a 7:6 K:BB over 5.1 innings. He'll operate in middle relief down the stretch.

The Guardians recalled Kent from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

Kent will be up with the Guardians for the sixth time this season, though he made just four relief appearances over his previous five stints in the majors and gave up five earned runs across 7.1 innings. He'll likely see most of his usage in lower-leverage spots during the final month of the season.

The Twins recalled Davis from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

Davis has made seven appearances in the majors this season between the Dodgers and Twins, getting bludgeoned for 19 runs (18 earned) over nine innings. He'll provide Minnesota with a fresh bullpen arm but is unlikely to be used in high-leverage spots.

The Twins recalled Adams from Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

Adams will give the Twins some length in the bullpen during the final month of the season. The righty holds a 7.71 ERA and 21:12 K:BB over 23.1 innings covering two starts and six relief appearances in the majors in 2025.

The Tigers recalled Lee from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

The 27-year-old righty sits around 89 miles per hour with his two fastballs and leans heavily on his wipeout 80-mph sweeper. Lee has a 4.10 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 36 strikeouts and four wins in 37.1 innings out of the big-league bullpen this season.

The Red Sox recalled Kelly from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Kelly will be back with the Red Sox for the first time since late June, as he had been on the shelf throughout July with an oblique injury before being activated and optioned to Worcester on Aug. 2. Since getting reinstated from the IL, Kelly had posted a meager 5.56 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 11.1 innings out of the Worcester bullpen, so he'll likely be ticketed for low-leverage relief work with Boston.

Bido struck out a batter and allowed two earned runs on three hits and no walks over 2.1 innings of relief in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Rangers.

Bido made a three-inning start in his last appearance Tuesday against the Tigers, but he shifted back to the bullpen over the weekend and looks poised to serve as a reliever moving forward. Rookie Mason Barnett entered the Athletics rotation Saturday, and Luis Severino (oblique) is set to be activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, so the team won't have a starting spot available for Bido.

Cruz (shoulder) threw a bullpen session of about 20 pitches Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Cruz has now completed two side sessions since landing on the injured list Aug. 3 and is expected to increase the volume and intensity of his bullpen work during the upcoming week before advancing to facing live hitters. The right-hander will likely require a rehab assignment prior to being activated from the injured list but could be ready to rejoin the Kansas City bullpen around mid-September.

Jansen picked up the save Sunday against the Astros, throwing a perfect ninth inning. He did not record a strikeout.

Jansen became the ninth player in baseball to hit the 25-save milestone this season, and he did so by retiring Yordan Alvarez, Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa in order. Jansen has now fired three consecutive hitless innings, a streak that follows back-to-back losses during which Jansen yielded three runs across two innings total. He has a 2.94 ERA in 52 innings this season.
