  • Nick Raquet RP | BAL

    Orioles' Nick Raquet: Moves up from Triple-A

    The Orioles recalled Raquet from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

    Raquet has logged three appearances for the Orioles this season, giving up three runs with a 1:2 K:BB. The left-hander will give the club a fresh bullpen arm as it opens a series Tuesday versus the Cubs.

  • Woo-Suk Go RP | MIN

    Twins' Woo-suk Go: Added to bullpen

    The Twins selected Go's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

    Go was acquired via trade from the Tigers on Sunday and is reporting directly to the major-league roster. The Korean reliever holds a 1.96 ERA and 54:13 K:BB over 41.1 innings between the Double- and Triple-A levels this season. Go -- who turns 28 in August -- will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

  • Spencer Miles RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Spencer Miles: Set to start Tuesday

    Miles will start Tuesday's game against the Giants, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Miles will be making his third start of the season in what will be his first appearance since last Wednesday, when he fired three scoreless innings as a bulk reliever to pick up a win against the Mets. The 25-year-old may have trouble pitching deep enough to qualify for a possible victory in San Francisco since he hasn't thrown more than 40 pitches in an appearance since early June, but he should still be able to provide Toronto with a few frames to begin the game. Patrick Corbin worked behind Miles in last Wednesday's matchup with the Mets and could do so again Tuesday.

  • Rays' Jesse Scholtens: Slated for game action

    Scholtens (wrist) is scheduled to pitch three innings in a rehab appearance Tuesday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, MLB.com reports.

    A right wrist strain has shelved Scholtens since late May, but the right-hander is gearing up for a return at some point after the All-Star break. Given that the Rays are having him open his rehab assignment with a three-inning appearance, Scholtens looks as though he could be getting stretched out for a starting role, though he won't necessarily have a rotation spot waiting for him once he's activated. Scholtens made two starts and seven relief appearances for Tampa Bay prior to landing on the injured list, posting a 3.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB in 37.2 innings.

  • Braydon Fisher RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Braydon Fisher: Goes on bereavement leave

    The Blue Jays placed Fisher (personal) on the bereavement list Monday.

    Fisher will be away from the team while tending to a personal matter. The righty reliever has posted a 3.33 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 46:21 K:BB while gathering three wins, eight holds and one save across 46 innings this season.

  • Cody Laweryson RP | MIN

    Twins' Cody Laweryson: Returning to Triple-A

    The Twins optioned Laweryson to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

    A corresponding move has yet to be announced, but the Twins' decision to option Laweryson comes after Minnesota acquired Woo-suk Go from Detroit. Go is expected to be added to Minnesota's 26-man roster prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Guardians, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Laweryson has appeared in 15 games out of the Minnesota bullpen this season, posting a 4.86 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, one save and an 18:8 K:BB across 16.2 innings.

  • Cameron Weston RP | BAL

    Orioles' Cameron Weston: Moves to Triple-A

    The Orioles optioned Weston to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

    Weston was called up by the Orioles on Wednesday but didn't make any appearances before being sent back down to the minors. He's appeared in 19 games (seven starts) at Triple-A this season, producing a 7.23 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 53:24 K:BB across 37.1 innings.

  • Alec Gamboa RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Alec Gamboa: Sent out to Triple-A

    The Red Sox optioned Gamboa to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

    After being recalled from Triple-A last Wednesday, Gamboa made two appearances out of the Red Sox bullpen, giving up two earned runs in 3.1 innings. He'll head back to the minors to clear room on the active roster for left-hander Patrick Sandoval (biceps), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and is expected to join the rotation later this week.

  • Edwin Uceta RP | TB

    Rays' Edwin Uceta: Yet to resume throwing

    Rays manager Kevin Cash said Monday that Uceta has yet to resume throwing and will meet with a doctor to have his nagging right shoulder injury examined, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Uceta has been limited to four rehab appearances due to a right shoulder strain and has remained shut down since he suffered a setback in late May. It's unclear whether surgery to address the injury is a possibility, but even if a procedure isn't on the table, Uceta is nowhere close to being ready to pitch in a game.

  • Rays' Chris Roycroft: Joins big club

    The Rays recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Durham on Monday.

    Tampa Bay optioned right-hander Mason Englert to Triple-A to open up a spot on the active roster for Roycroft, who will join the big club for the first time since being acquired via trade with St. Louis on June 23. Roycroft owns a 5.02 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB in 28.2 innings at the Triple-A level this season and will likely be limited to a low-leverage relief role while he's up with the Rays.
