Horn (elbow) struck out a batter and worked around two walks in a scoreless inning of relief Wednesday for Triple-A Toledo after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list.

Horn missed just under a month of action for the Triple-A club while he recovered from left elbow inflammation. The 27-year-old southpaw holds a spot on the Tigers' 40-man roster and previously made one relief appearance for the big club in April, but he'll likely stick around in Toledo for the foreseeable future.

The Tigers recalled Smith from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Smith will serve as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader versus the Pirates and will be available for both contests of the twin bill. The 25-year-old has made two relief appearances for the Tigers this season, allowing two runs over three innings.

Sborz (shoulder) threw about 25 pitches in a live batting practice Wednesday at Globe Life Field, MLB.com reports.

Sborz has thrown a few sessions of batting practice, and manager Bruce Bochy confirmed he'll throw one or two more before heading out on a rehab assignment. The right-handed reliever has been working his way back from shoulder surgery he underwent in November of 2024.

The White Sox Sox" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" data-league-abbreviation="MLB" data-team-abbreviation="CHW">White Sox recalled White from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

White will serve as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. The right-hander will provide some length in the bullpen, which the White Sox will likely need in the second game with Mike Vasil making just his third start following a long stint as a reliever.

The Yankees placed De Los Santos on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to right elbow discomfort.

He'll be replaced in the bullpen by lefty Jayvien Sandridge, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. De Los Santos has worked in middle relief over his three stints in the big leagues this season, logging a 1.80 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 13:12 K:BB in 20 innings.

The White Sox recalled Gilbert from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Gilbert will provide a fresh arm for the bullpen ahead of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals. The left-hander has posted a 4.20 ERA and 17:7 K:BB over 15 frames with the big club this season.

Sabrowski (elbow) allowed two runs on three hits while striking out one over one inning for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Sabrowski, who's battled left shoulder inflammation, continues up the rehab ladder. He threw two outings in the ACL followed by one at Double-A Akron. Tuesday's outing was his third with the Clippers. Sabrowski could be activated any day now.

Clase notched a save against the Giants on Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

Clase inherited a two-run ninth-inning lead and worked around a two-out single to retire the side on 14 pitches. Though the veteran closer has allowed at least one baserunner in each of his past five appearances and has a mediocre 4:4 BB:K across 4.2 frames during that span, he's converted three of four save opportunities in that stretch. It certainly hasn't been Clase's smoothest season -- he's currently holding a 3.69 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, each of which is on pace to be a career-worst mark -- but he's managed to go 16-for-19 in save chances to remain comfortably in control of Cleveland's closer role.

Fairbanks struck out one without allowing a baserunner across a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday against the Orioles.

Fairbanks was called upon to protect a four-run lead in a non-save situation and set down the Orioles on only 12 pitches. Wednesday's outing was Fairbanks' 30th of the season, 26 of which have been scoreless. Despite racking up only 26 strikeouts across 29.1 innings for the season, Fairbanks has been effective as the locked-in closer for the Rays, converting 13 of 15 save chances with a 2.15 ERA.

Armstrong will start Thursday against the Royals in what's expected to be a bullpen game for the Rangers, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The Rangers remain without a No. 5 starter while Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) is on the injured list, so Armstrong will be called upon to fill the gap again after he previously covered the first three innings of last Friday's win over the White Sox. Jacob Latz will be available on four days' rest and could be called upon to fill multiple innings once Armstrong exits the contest. The 34-year-old Armstrong has been enjoying a nice bounce-back campaign, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through 30 innings.
