Balazovic was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

Balazovic spent just two days on the active roster in his latest stint in the majors and did not get into a game. He'll make way for Joe Ryan, who returns from a groin injury in a corresponding move.

Bautista was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a UCL injury, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Bautista left his outing Friday against the Rockies with right arm discomfort, and it looks like the injury is potentially a serious one. The Orioles haven't specified an exact diagnosis or timeline for Bautista, but Tommy John surgery would seem to be a possibility given that he's dealing with UCL troubles. Even a lesser injury would still be a huge blow to the Orioles, as Bautista has been the best reliever in baseball this season, riding a 46.4 percent strikeout rate to a 1.48 ERA and 33 saves. Yennier Cano is likely to step into the ninth inning in his absence.

Kelley was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Kelley's latest stint on the big-league roster lasted just two days. In his lone appearance Friday against the Yankees, he gave up four runs in two innings of relief. Jalen Beeks was called up to take Kelley's place on the roster.

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

Beeks has thrown 39.1 innings at the major-league level this season, with his 6.41 ERA more than doubling his 2.80 mark from last season. His ERA in 17.2 frames for Durham sits at 5.60. Reliever Trevor Kelley was optioned to Durham in a corresponding move.

The Angels optioned Rosenberg to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

Rosenberg was returned to Triple-A one day after he was called up and appointed as the Angels' 27th man for a doubleheader with the Reds. He covered two innings out of the bullpen in the Angels' 9-4 loss in the first game of the twin bill, giving up one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out three.

Campbell (4-0) got the win against the Royals on Friday, firing a perfect fifth inning during which he recorded a strikeout.

Campbell got through his one frame on just nine pitches -- seven of which he pounded in for strikes -- after starter Bryce Miller labored through the first four frames. The rookie right-hander had conceded an earned run in each of his last two outings, but he's still carrying an impressive 2.76 ERA across his first 16.1 big-league innings.

Moore earned a hold against the Mets on Friday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.

Moore had a rare blow-up his previous time on the mound, giving up three runs in one inning against Cincinnati. He was back in form Friday, escaping with a scoreless frame despite seeing the first two batters he faced reach base via a double and an error. Moore has held the opponent scoreless in 13 of his last 14 appearances, notching eight holds while posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB over 14 innings during that span. The southpaw leads the Angels with 20 holds on the campaign.

Hall was recalled by the Orioles on Saturday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

The 24-year-old lefty has struggled to a 5.94 ERA in 16.2 career MLB innings despite a 32.9 percent strikeout rate. He recorded a 4.57 ERA in 11 Triple-A starts at the beginning of this season before the Orioles elected to back him off and rebuild his arm strength at the team's spring training complex, as his velocity was down nearly three ticks. He's since returned to strike out 18 batters in 7.2 innings of relief and could be a weapon out of the bullpen down the stretch in Baltimore. A corresponding move has yet to be announced.

Newcomb fired two scoreless innings in a win over the White Sox on Friday, allowing no hits and one walk while recording three strikeouts.

Making his second appearance for the Athletics after a promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Newcomb was once again impressive while firing 28 of his 42 pitches for strikes. The veteran left-hander, once a 12-game winner as a starter with Atlanta back in 2018, figures to continue drawing plenty of multi-inning assignments in Oakland down the stretch and could certainly see his fair share of hold opportunities and decisions in the process.

Neal (1-0) picked up the win in Friday's 12-4 victory over the White Sox, giving up four runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out two.

The 34-year-old righty wasn't exactly sharp -- four of the five hits off Neal went for extra bases, including homers by Lenyn Sosa and Eloy Jimenez -- but he got plenty of run support and lasted just long enough to qualify for the win in his first start at the big-league level this season. Neal tossed 87 pitches (53 strikes) and likely did enough to stick in an A's rotation in need of healthy arms. If he stays on turn, Neal's next start appears ticketed for next week in Seattle.
