Faedo (5-3) allowed two runs on two hits across 1.2 innings of relief to take the loss Tuesday against the Guardians. He struck out one.

Faedo followed opener Tyler Holton and didn't have much luck as he continued his recent struggles. After notching wins in five straight decisions between mid-April and July 20, Faedo has now taken the loss in consecutive appearances out of the bullpen. Over his last eight outings, the righty has allowed eight runs across 11.1 innings. Faedo has still been mostly solid this season with a 3.81 ERA and should be able to get back on track soon.

The Blue Jays optioned Eisert to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Eisert will head back to Buffalo after he served as the Blue Jays' 27th man for Monday's doubleheader with the Orioles. He mopped up after an abbreviated start by Yariel Rodriguez in the Blue Jays' 11-5 loss in the opening game of the day, giving up three earned runs on four hits and one walk over 2.2 innings.

Krook was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Krook has spent the majority of 2024 campaign with Triple-A Norfolk, where he'll likely remain if he clears waivers. The left-hander owns a 4.11 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 41 strikeouts over 35 innings in 34 appearances out of Norfolk's bullpen this year. With the Orioles acquiring a handful of players during Tuesday's trade deadline, Krook appears to have been one of the odd men out on the 40-man roster.

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

Dobnak will join the Twins for the first time since the 2021 season after posting a 3.61 ERA and 1.45 WHIP through 99.2 innings at Triple-A.Though he's served primarily as a starter in the minor leagues, he'll likely operate out of the bullpen as a multi-inning reliever while with Minnesota. In order to create space on the 40-man roster, the Twins transferred Alex Kirilloff (back) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL.

The Astros recalled Dubin from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The right-hander has a 5.14 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 36:19 K:BB over 35 innings for the Astros this season, and he'll rejoin the big club for Tuesday's matchup with the Pirates. Dubin should fill a low-leverage role while up in the majors.

The Blue Jays recalled Rodriguez from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Just a day after being optioned to Triple-A, Rodriguez will now return to the Blue Jays to opening on the roster that was created when reliever Trevor Richards was traded to Minnesota on Tuesday. Rodriguez has posted a 7.71 ERA and 1.71 WHIP through 18.2 innings in the majors this season and will likely be limited to low-leverage appearances out of the Toronto bullpen.

The Red Sox designated Wingenter for assignment Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

The right-hander was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Monday but didn't stick on the big-league roster for long. Wingenter has given up seven earned runs over 2.1 frames in his two appearances for Boston this season.

The Yankees optioned Gomez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Gomez was able to get through his two-inning appearance Monday without giving up a run, bringing his ERA down to 3.97 through 11.1 frames in the majors. He'll now return to Triple-A following the acquisition of Mark Leiter from the Cubs, though Gomez could still return to New York later in the year should the Yankees need a fresh bullpen arm.

The Yankees acquired De Los Santos and right-hander Thomas Balboni from the Padres in exchange for outfielder Brandon Lockridge on Tuesday.

De Los Santos had a 4.46 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 48:13 K:BB over 40.1 innings for the Padres this season, but he was expendable with the club adding major bullpen pieces at the deadline. The right-handed journeyman had a 3.18 ERA in 120 outings for the Guardians across the previous two seasons, and he's likely to work in middle relief for the Yankees.

The Phillies traded Soto to the Orioles on Tuesday in exchange for Seth Johnson, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Soto owns a 4.08 ERA and 1.58 WHIP through 35.1 innings with the Phillies this season. He's capable of handling high-leverage situations, recording two saves and seven holds on the year, though he'll most likely handle middle relief while with the O's.
