Lange blew a save opportunity against the Yankees on Thursday, allowing three runs on three hits while striking out one batter over one inning.

Coming into the ninth frame, New York had managed just two hits while falling behind by three runs. The Yankees were able to erase that deficit against Lange when Anthony Volpe blasted a two-out, three-run homer to right field. This was the first blown save in seven attempts since the All-Star break for Lange, who had been surviving with a 1.80 ERA over 15 second-half innings despite a 1.53 ERA and 17:18 K:BB. He and Jason Foley have been sharing closer duties, though Foley worked a perfect seventh and notched a hold in Thursday's contest.

Green (elbow) will return from the 60-day injured list Friday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Green has been on the 60-day IL all season while working his way back from the Tommy John procedure he underwent in June 2022. After giving up two runs across 12.1 innings in his rehab assignment, the 32-year-old reliever is now set to join the Jays' active roster as rosters expand from 26 to 28 players Friday. Green will likely be limited to a middle-relief role upon returning.

The Angels reinstated Daniel (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Daniel logged a 1.78 ERA and 0.95 WHIP alongside a 37:5 K:BB during his rehab assignment across rookie and High-A ball. He's been on the injured list since February due to a strained right shoulder, and the Angels will allow him to keep developing in Triple-A rather than adding him to their major-league rotation. He put up a 4.49 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 102.1 innings with Triple-A Salt Lake in 2022.

The Angels recalled Marte from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

After losing four members of their pitching staff via waiver claims Thursday, Marte will come up from the minors to help replenish lost depth in the Angels' bullpen. The 27-year-old righty has spent most of the season working his way back from an elbow injury, and he holds a 7.80 ERA and 2.20 WHIP across 15 major-league innings in his career.

Kelly (back) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Double-A Akron.

Kelly landed on the 15-day injured list two weeks ago, so he'll likely require only one or two tune-up outings in the minors before being ready to rejoin the Cleveland bullpen. Prior to being deactivated, Kelly posted a 2.84 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 12.2 innings across 11 relief appearances.

The Mariners designated Sweet for assignment Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

In order to make room on the roster for Dominic Leone, who was claimed off waivers from the Angels on Thursday, Sweet will be pushed off the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old righty made just two appearances in the majors this season, allowing two runs over two innings of work.

Krehbiel will be recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday when rosters expand, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Krehbiel has gone back-and-forth between the majors and minors a few times this season but has appeared in just two games for the Orioles, tossing 1.2 scoreless frames. He'll be used in low-leverage situations down the stretch.

Daniel (shoulder) struck out 10 and allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings in his latest rehab start Tuesday for Single-A Inland Empire.

Daniel made the sixth start of his rehab assignment Tuesday and his fourth in a row in the California League, where he's produced a 1.77 ERA and 0.98 WHIP while striking out 28 over 20.1 innings. With the right-hander's 30-day rehab window nearing its end, he should be activated from the Angels' 60-day injured list within the next few days. However, since the 26-year-old right-hander has yet to make his MLB debut, the Angels may not be willing to include him in the big-league rotation right away and could instead option him to either Double-A Rocket City or Triple-A Salt Lake upon his reinstatement.

Leone was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Leone holds a 4.74 ERA and 44:20 K:BB across 43.2 innings of relief work for the Mets and Angels this season. It's a homecoming of sorts for Leone, who came up in the Mariners system and debuted for them back in 2014. He will be used in middle relief for the American League West leaders.

Moore was claimed off waivers by the Guardians on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

The Guardians were busy Thursday, adding Moore and Reynaldo Lopez to their bullpen and Lucas Giolito to their rotation via the waiver process. Moore has had an excellent season, putting up a 2.66 ERA and 49:12 K:BB over 44 frames as a setup man for the Halos. He'll give Cleveland a left-handed bridge to closer Emmanuel Clase.
