The Mets recalled Weston from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Weston joined the Mets via waivers Sept. 3 and has since fired 4.1 scoreless innings while fanning eight batters across three appearances at Syracuse. He'll now get a chance to showcase his talents in the majors, replacing Xzavion Curry on the active roster.

The Mets optioned Curry to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Curry's first start in the majors this season didn't go well, as he served up four homers while allowing six earned runs in just three innings Wednesday against Baltimore. He'll now be sent back to the minors in favor of Cameron Weston, who will add to the Mets' bullpen depth.

Montgomery earned the save Thursday in a 7-4 win over the Brewers, allowing two walks while striking out two over 1.1 scoreless innings.

It was another strong performance from Montgomery, who's been nearly untouchable since late July. The southpaw has now delivered 21.2 straight scoreless innings, allowing just eight hits while striking out 32 in that span. Montgomery has converted 14 saves this season while working to a 2.67 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP and 97:25 K:BB across 64 innings and entrenching himself as Pittsburgh's closer.

The Phillies transferred Kilian (oblique) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Kilian initially landed on the injured list Aug. 10 with a left oblique strain, so his move to the 60-day IL will prevent him from returning before the end of the regular season. His place on the 40-man roster will be given to Jose Urquidy, who was claimed off waivers from the White Sox on Thursday.

The Phillies claimed Urquidy off waivers from the White Sox on Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Urquidy was DFA'd by the White Sox on Tuesday after turning in a 4.37 ERA and 1.19 WHIP across 22.2 innings with the team. He won't be eligible to pitch in the postseason now that he's with the Phillies, but he could still make a handful of appearances with the big club during its final 10 regular-season games. Caleb Kilian (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Diaz (neck) will be activated from the 15-day injured list Friday, Jack Harris of the California Post reports.

Per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, Roberts added that Diaz will be used in "low-leverage" situations intially and will have to earn more high-profile assignments. Diaz has been sidelined since mid-August with neck inflammation and posted a 12.46 ERA in five rehab outings, though he did log a scoreless appearance Wednesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers recalled Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Knack has allowed five earned runs in just 7.2 frames with the big club this season but has logged a 2.08 ERA and 33:11 K:BB over 34.2 innings with OKC. The right-hander will provide manager Dave Roberts with a fresh bullpen arm.

The Dodgers optioned Miller to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Miller logged 2.1 innings out of the bullpen in Wednesday's loss to the Reds, allowing a pair of runs. He's being replaced on the roster by Landon Knack, who will give the Dodgers a fresh relief arm.

Franco (forearm) retired two batters and yielded four earned runs on three hits and one walk in a start for Triple-A Louisville after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Cleared to return to Louisville after making one rehab appearance at High-A Dayton, Franco turned in a rough performance in his first outing with the Triple-A club since July 22. For the season, Franco owns a 4.31 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 54:30 K:BB in 56.1 innings over 15 appearances (nine starts) with Louisville.

The Brewers activated Zastryzny (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Thursday and designated him for assignment, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

Zastryzny has not pitched in the majors this season, having been limited to 13 rehab appearances across multiple stints as he dealt with intercostal and shoulder injuries. The lefty finally appears to be healthy now, but the Brewers decided they didn't have room for him on their active roster.
