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

Warren made one scoreless appearance for the Mets in May and is back for another opportunity. The 29-year-old will provide manager Carlos Mendoza with a fresh bullpen arm.

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

Pintaro was roughed up for two runs while recording only two outs in his major-league debut Wednesday against Atlanta and finds himself back in the minors a day later. Austin Warren will absorb his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Wrobleski is expected to start or pitch in bulk relief during Sunday's game in Kansas City, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The Dodgers are holding off naming a starter for the series finale against the Royals, likely because they're planning to use an opener in front of Wrobleski. The southpaw has fared much better in bulk relief than he has as a traditional starter, posting a 1.96 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB over 18.1 innings in the former role.

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

Klein pitched well during his brief time in the majors, tossing 3.2 scoreless frames with a 5:1 K:BB. However, he wasn't going to be available for a day or two after throwing two innings and 36 pitches Wednesday. Klein should get another chance later this season.

The Dodgers activated Garcia (adductor) from the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Garcia has been shelved since early June due to a right adductor strain, but he's ready to roll after making one scoreless rehab appearance. Will Klein was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.

Pintaro gave up two runs on two hits and two walks over two-thirds of an inning in Wednesday's win over Atlanta. He struck out one.

Making his big-league debut, Pintaro entered in a low-leverage spot with the Mets ahead 7-1 and struggled to find the plate, tossing 16 of 29 pitches for strikes. Some nerves were to be expected from the 27-year-old righty, and New York will likely give him another chance or two to help bolster a fraying bullpen before churning his roster spot for a fresh arm.

The Cubs designated Fulmer for assignment Thursday.

Fulmer tossed three scoreless frames over two appearances during his brief time with the Cubs. The veteran right-hander elected free agency after being removed from Boston's 40-man roster earlier this season, and he's likely to become a free agent again if he passes through waivers.

Atlanta optioned Cox to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Right-hander Michael Petersen was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move and will provide Atlanta with a fresh arm in the bullpen for Thursday's series finale versus the Mets. After being called up from Gwinnett over the weekend, Cox made two appearances for Atlanta, covering three innings and allowing one earned run on three hits while striking out five.

Atlanta recalled Petersen from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Atlanta will send left-hander Austin Cox to Triple-A in a corresponding move while the right-handed Petersen takes his spot in the bullpen. Petersen has previously made two appearances for Atlanta this season, giving up two earned runs on three hits and no walks over three innings.

Faucher (3-2) earned the win but blew a save against the Giants on Wednesday, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk over one inning.

Though he was credited with the victory, this was far from a good outing by the right-hander. Faucher hit two batters and walked another during his time on the mound, and the single he allowed would have ended the game if not for Jung Hoo Lee getting thrown out trying to score. The blown save was Faucher's first since May 26, and he recorded six saves across 10.2 innings during that span. With that in mind, he's probably still the Marlins' top option for saves despite Wednesday's rough appearance.
