The White Sox transferred Leone (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

Leone was deactivated in late May due to right elbow inflammation, and his move to the 60-day IL ensures he'll be sidelined through the All-Star break. As a result of the transaction, Leone will move off the 40-man roster and open up a spot for right-hander Drew Thorpe, whose contract was selected from Double-A Birmingham ahead of his first MLB start Tuesday in Seattle.

The White Sox optioned Peralta to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Just two days after being selected from Charlotte and giving up a run in one-third of an inning during his season debut, Peralta will now head back to the minors. He'll keep his spot on the White Sox's 40-man roster, though a 7.16 ERA through 16.1 innings at Triple-A doesn't bode well for a return to the big leagues anytime soon.

The Mariners recalled Diaz from Triple-A Tacoma, and he'll start Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander will start in place of Bryan Woo, who was scratched Tuesday for unspecified reasons. It will be Diaz's first MLB appearance of the campaign, but he's enjoyed a strong year at Tacoma with a 2.98 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 67:16 K:BB across 66.1 innings. The lack of walks is a notable improvement from 2023, as Diaz had a 4.4 BB/9 at Triple-A and walked seven over seven frames in the big leagues.

The Mariners recalled Bazardo from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Bazardo owns a 5.87 ERA through 7.2 innings in the majors this season, though he has given up just one run in five innings since returning to Triple-A on May 26. He'll now rejoin the Mariners' bullpen to replace Matt Bowman, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Bachman (shoulder) will move his rehab assignment to Double-A Rocket City on Thursday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Bachman allowed an earned run on three hits across three innings while recording two strikeouts in his most recent rehab outing in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Saturday. The righty will now head to Double-A as he gets stretched back out following offseason shoulder surgery.

Faedo (hip) played catch Tuesday and will ramp up his throwing volume throughout the week, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Faedo was placed on the 15-day IL Wednesday with right hip inflammation and has resumed a throwing program. While it's unclear if he'll require a minor-league rehab stint, Faedo seems to be on track to return in late June.

The Orioles recalled Baker from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Baker had spent all of 2024 at Norfolk until now and pitched to a 6.55 ERA, albeit with 30 strikeouts across 22 frames. He was a useful middle reliever for Baltimore from 2022-23, collecting a 3.53 ERA and 127:50 K:BB over 114.2 innings.

The Orioles placed Coulombe on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow inflammation.

Coulombe had given no indication that something might be wrong, having turned in five straight scoreless appearances. It's not clear how long he might be out, but his absence will be felt in the Orioles' bullpen, where he's posted a 2.42 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB over 26 innings.

Stanek (4-1) got the win over the White Sox on Monday, allowing two hits and recording three strikeouts over a scoreless ninth inning.

Stanek got a couple of days to rest his arm and clear his head after taking a loss against the Royals in a 24-pitch outing Saturday, and the veteran was able to bounce back during a laborious but successful ninth inning. The right-hander worked around a pair of singles he allowed to Oscar Colas and Nicky Lopez by recording swinging strikeouts of Korey Lee, Corey Julks and Luis Robert. Stanek then became the pitcher of record when Cal Raleigh slugged a walk-off grand slam in the home half of the final frame, capping off the reliever's sixth scoreless effort in the last seven outings with a victory.

The Twins optioned Castillo to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

Castillo allowed just two runs over seven relief innings during his brief time with the Twins, but that came with a 3:7 K:BB. The veteran reliever will head back to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for right-hander Louie Varland, who was called up from St. Paul to make a spot start Tuesday against the Rockies.
