Jesse Biddle RP | ARI
Reds' Jesse Biddle: Lands on injured list
Biddle was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left shoulder injury, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
The 28-year-old had his contract selected earlier this week and delivered a scoreless appearance during his season debut Thursday, but he apparently picked up the shoulder injury. Biddle will be eligible to be activated Sept. 8, but it's unclear if he's expected to be ready to return at that point.

Robert Gsellman RP | WAS
Mets' Robert Gsellman: Solid in abbreviated start
Gsellman started and worked four innings but didn't factor into the decision Saturday in a 2-1 loss to the Yankees. He gave up a run on four hits while striking out four.
Gsellman was making his third straight turn through the rotation for the Mets, but since he's still in the process of building up after having worked exclusively out of the bullpen the past two seasons, he wasn't able to go very deep into the start. The right-hander was pulled after tossing a season-high 57 pitches, and he was generally solid over his four frames, with his lone mistake being the first-inning solo shot he surrendered to Luke Voit. The Mets have recently returned two other starters (Michael Wacha and David Peterson) from the injured list, so it's unclear if Gsellman will still have a spot in the rotation next week.

Drew Pomeranz RP | CHC
Padres' Drew Pomeranz: Officially activated
Pomeranz (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.
Pomeranz was on the injured list for the minimum amount of time after smoothly recovering from a left shoulder strain. While he was the Padres' top option at closer prior to his injury, he could be in line for more of a setup role going forward after the team acquired Trevor Rosenthal on Saturday.

Padres' Adrian Morejon: Placed on injured list

Pirates' Nick Mears: Sent down by Pirates
Mears was optioned to the Pirates' alternate training site Saturday.
Mears made just one appearance since rejoining the major-league roster Thursday. He allowed one run on two hits and no walks while striking out three over 1.2 innings. He'll return to alternate camp after Carson Fulmer and Kyle Crick (shoulder) were added to the active roster.

Cabrera left Saturday's game as a result of a cracked fingernail on his left middle finger, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Cabrera pitched one scoreless inning Saturday, allowing no hits and one walk while striking out three. However, he was unable to progress as he exited the contest with a trainer prior to the seventh inning. It's unclear whether the southpaw will miss any additional time.

Marlins' Josh D. Smith: Removed from 40-man roster
Smith was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Saturday.
Smith was recently sent to the Marlins' alternate training site, but he'll now be removed from the 40-man roster. It's unclear whether he'll find a spot with another organization via waivers. The southpaw allowed two runs on two hits while striking out four over 1.2 innings during two appearances this year.

Alex Vesia RP | LAD
Marlins' Alex Vesia: Reinstated Saturday
Vesia (undisclosed) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
The Marlins never provided reasoning for Vesia's trip to the injured list, but the young left-hander was officially activated ahead of the team's game against the Rays on Saturday and should find himself pitching in low-leverage scenarios moving forward.
