  • Twins' Caleb Boushley: Optioned to St. Paul

    The Twins optioned Boushley to Triple-A St. Paul after Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Boushley was selected from Triple-A ahead of Tuesday's contest, during which he threw two shutout innings, and he'll now head back to the minors in order to clear space for Michael Tonkin, who was claimed off waivers from the Yankees. The 30-year-old Boushley will keep his spot on the 40-man roster, however, leaving open the possibility of a return to Minneapolis before the end of the season.

  • Jacob Webb RP | CHC

    Orioles' Jacob Webb: Beginning assignment soon

    Manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Webb (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk within the next several days, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Webb landed on the injured list Aug. 7 with elbow inflammation and has been throwing since Aug. 17, and he has now been given the green light to return to a competitive environment. The Orioles skipper didn't say exactly how many appearances Webb will make in the minors before returning to Baltimore's bullpen, though it shouldn't take him very long to build back up.

  • Mason Miller SP | SD

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Escapes with 22nd save

    Miller earned the save in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Reds, allowing two runs on four hits with two strikeouts in the ninth inning.

    Miller allowed two runs on a season-high four hits before striking out Amed Rosario with two runners in scoring position to end the game. Consider it an off night, as the 26-year-old entered Tuesday's appearance having fired 12.1 consecutive scoreless frames and has now converted 10 straight save chances. On the season, he owns a 2.12 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 122:33 K:BB across 51 innings.

  • Red Sox's Josh Winckowski: Back in big leagues

    The Red Sox recalled Winckowski from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    With Luis Garcia (elbow) headed for the injured list, Winckowski will now return to Boston just one day after being optioned to Triple-A. The 26-year-old righty owns a 4.37 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through 59.2 frames in the majors this year, though those numbers are heavily inflated by a six-run, three-inning performance during his appearance against Arizona on Friday.

  • Luis Garcia RP | NYM

    Red Sox's Luis Garcia: Placed on injured list

    The Red Sox placed Garcia on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Since joining the Red Sox in late July, Garcia has allowed 13 earned runs in just 11.1 innings out of the bullpen, and he'll now be held out of action for at least the next 15 days. Josh Winckowski was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to fill the open roster spot.

  • Twins' Caleb Boushley: Contract selected

    The Twins selected Boushley's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    After pushing Trevor Richards off the 40-man roster, the Twins will now call upon Boushley to fill the open spot in their bullpen. The 30-year-old has allowed two earned runs over two innings in the big leagues this season, and he owns a 4.97 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 116 innings (22 starts) in the minors. He'll presumably serve as a long reliever while with the Twins.

  • Greg Weissert RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Greg Weissert: Back in majors

    The Red Sox recalled Weissert from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Weissert was just sent down this past Friday but is back to take the spot of the injured Lucas Sims (lat). The right-hander has collected a 4.10 ERA and 49:18 K:BB over 48.1 frames out of the Red Sox' bullpen this season.

  • Brad Keller SP | PHI

    Red Sox's Brad Keller: Booted from 40-man roster

    The Red Sox designated Keller for assignment Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Keller coughed up five runs (three earned) over four innings in an extended relief appearance Monday versus the Blue Jays. He wasn't going to be available for at least a couple days, so the Red Sox have elected to summon another reliever in his spot.

  • Red Sox's Lucas Sims: Placed on IL with lat strain

    The Red Sox placed Sims on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lat strain, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Sims has been terrible since being acquired at the trade deadline, surrendering nine runs with a 7:7 K:BB over 10 innings. Now he will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks, and in all likelihood, longer.

  • Anthony Gose RP | NYM

    Guardians' Anthony Gose: Back on 26-man roster

    The Guardians selected Gose's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

    Gose was designated for assignment for the second time in August on Wednesday but inked a minor-league deal with the Guardians on Saturday and will rejoin the active roster. The 34-year-old allowed two runs in his lone appearance with the Guardians this season and has logged a 3.46 ERA across 39 innings for Columbus. Logan Allen was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
