  • 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.

    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.

  • Lucas Sims RP | CHW

    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.

  • White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Recalled Tuesday

    The White Sox recalled Berroa from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

    The right-hander was sent to Charlotte in early August but will rejoin the big-league bullpen after John Brebbia was designated for assignment. Berroa has made just three appearances in the majors this season and has largely struggled at Triple-A with a 6.60 ERA and 49:35 K:BB over 46.1 innings.

  • John Brebbia RP | COL

    White Sox's John Brebbia: Designated for assignment

    The White Sox designated Brebbia for assignment Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

    The veteran right-hander filled a high-leverage role for Chicago this season and recorded two saves and 13 holds, but he hadn't been particularly effective with a 6.29 ERA in 54 outings. Brebbia posted a sub-4.00 ERA in five of his six MLB campaigns entering the season, so he could receive some interest from other teams.

  • Matt Moore RP | BOS

    Angels' Matt Moore: Goes on IL with forearm injury

    The Angels placed Moore on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left forearm strain.

    Moore had to be lifted from an appearance Sunday versus the Blue Jays due to the injury. He will be sidelined for at least the next two weeks and potentially longer. Ryan Miller is taking Moore's spot on the Angels' roster.
