Contreras will start Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

The 24-year-old was acquired from the Pirates in May and has worked out of the bullpen for his first nine appearances for the Halos. Contreras has pitched to a 3.29 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 13.2 innings with Anaheim, and manager Ron Washington said the club is hoping the right-hander can cover about four or five innings versus Oakland, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

The Athletics recalled O'Loughlin from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

The A's sent O'Loughlin to the minors June 9 after he had thrown seven shutout innings across three appearances out of the bullpen. He has since started two Triple-A games, allowing six earned runs in just 7.2 frames. He'll likely return to a multi-inning relief role while in Oakland, taking the place of Aaron Brooks on the MLB roster.

Hendriks (elbow) is slated to throw a bullpen session later this week, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

It will be his first time throwing off a mound since he underwent Tommy John surgery in early August of last year. Hendriks is hoping to join the Red Sox' relief corps at some point during the final two months of this season, and while that's possible, the bigger-picture goal is having him healthy and ready to roll as a member of Boston's 2025 bullpen.

The Mariners recalled Snider from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The right-hander joins the Mariners on Tuesday for his third stint in the majors this season. Snider has allowed two earned runs with a 5:2 K:BB over five innings for the Mariners, and he has a 3.44 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 17 outings at Triple-A.

Faedo (hip) is scheduled to make his third rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

After tossing a scoreless inning in his first minor-league appearance, Faedo surrendered four hits, two walks and a run across 1.1 innings Saturday. He's been on the injured list since June 5 but is expected to rejoin the major-league roster soon. In fact, Tuesday's outing could be his last at Toledo.

The Tigers recalled Lucas from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Lucas will join the big-league club for the first time since being claimed off waivers by Detroit on May 18. He made three appearances with the Athletics before being moved off the 40-man roster, allowing seven runs (six earned) across 3.2 innings. He also struggled at Toledo, accumulating a 6.14 ERA across 14.2 innings.

The Tigers optioned Englert to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

They need to free up a roster spot for Keider Montero, who will start Wednesday versus the Phillies, and Englert's locker at Comerica Park has been cleaned out. Englert holds a 5.95 ERA and 14:4 K:BB over 19.2 relief innings this season.

Boushley is a candidate to be called up to replace injured Chris Paddack in the Minnesota rotation, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Boushley is already on the 40-man roster, a designation top prospect David Festa, who's also in Triple-A St. Paul's rotation, doesn't possess. Boushley gave up two runs over two innings in his lone appearance in the majors this season, and he has a 3.52 ERA and 7.8 K/9 at St. Paul. The Twins will likely call up a pitcher to start Thursday at Arizona.

The Rays recalled Uceta from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

The 26-year-old was up with the Rays for five days in May and will rejoin the big club ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Mariners. Uceta has pitched four scoreless frames for Tampa Bay but has a 5.77 ERA across 22 outings at Triple-A this year.

The Rays designated Devenski for assignment Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

The move comes after Devenski was scored upon Monday versus the Mariners for the third time in as many appearances. Devenski holds a 6.75 ERA in 19 relief outings in 2024 and will likely pass through waivers unclaimed.
