The Astros selected Scott's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Scott had a strong spring to win a spot in the Astros' Opening Day bullpen. He figures to be used in low-leverage spots by manager Joe Espada.

The Yankees selected Burdi's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

Burdi has struggled to avoid the injured list during his professional career, but he's healthy now and won a bullpen spot after an impressive spring. The hard-throwing righty should work in the middle innings to begin the season.

The Yankees placed Moore on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right knee bursitis.

Moore didn't pitch this spring because of the injury, and it's not clear how long he might be out. The Yankees claimed the right-handed reliever off waivers from the Phillies back in February.

The Angels placed Stephenson on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder inflammation.

The 31-year-old recently resumed throwing but remains without a timetable to make his season debut. Once healthy, Stephenson is poised to serve in a setup role in front of closer Carlos Estevez.

The Guardians acquired Strzelecki from the Diamondbacks on Thursday for cash considerations and optioned him to Triple-A Columbus.

Strzelecki had been designated for assignment by Arizona and has now found a new home. The reliever will head to Columbus for now but should be an option for Cleveland's bullpen eventually.

Romano (elbow) isn't expected to need much time to build back up once he's cleared to start throwing off a mound again, and Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins believes the right-hander will only need a minimum stay on the injured list, Gregor Chisholm of the Toronto Star reports.

The Toronto closer was given an anti-inflammatory injection early last week after an MRI on his elbow showed no structural issues. A backdated placement on the IL for Romano and a minimum 15-day stay could have him back in the Jays bullpen as early as April 9 against the Mariners. In the right-hander's absence, Yimi Garcia, Chad Green and Tim Mayza are all candidates to handle save chances.

The Royals placed Brentz (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Brentz suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain in mid-March. The injury will likely keep him sidelined for the first several weeks of the season.

The Royals placed Taylor on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a left arm/biceps nerve injury.

Taylor dealt with back and biceps issues this spring but pitched well when healthy. It's not clear how long the biceps injury might keep the left-handed reliever on the shelf.

The Royals placed Hernandez on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right shoulder impingement.

Hernandez missed all of spring training with the shoulder issue. He resumed mound work about a week ago, but there's no timetable for his return to the active roster.

The Twins placed Weiss (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

As expected, Weiss won't be part of the Twins' season-opening bullpen while he recovers from a right shoulder strain. Once activated, Weiss will likely be in line for low-leverage relief work.
