Carasiti (shoulder) was activated from the 15-day injured list Sunday and optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Carasiti is recovered from the right shoulder inflammation that sent him to the IL in late June, but the Rockies don't currently have a spot for him in their bullpen. The 32-year-old holds a career 7.28 ERA in 47 major-league innings.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Kelly is still experiencing forearm discomfort, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Kelly tried to throw a bullpen session Friday and it didn't go well, though Roberts said that the veteran reliever is still expected back at some point this season. He's been on the 15-day injured list since Aug. 13 due to a bout of right forearm inflammation.

Kolarek was designated for assignment by the Mets on Sunday.

Kolarek had worked 4.2 scoreless innings of relief for New York, but he'll get the boot from the 40-man roster as the Mets activate Mark Vientos (wrist) from the 10-day IL and recall Jeff Brigham from Triple-A Syracuse.

The Mets recalled Brigham from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Brigham returns as a fresh bullpen arm ahead of Sunday's series finale against the Angels. The 31-year-old right-hander has posted a 5.16 ERA and 33:13 K:BB in 29.2 major-league innings this season.

Beck will serve as the Giants' starting pitcher for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Beck will be picking up his first MLB start Sunday, but he may not be able to reach the five innings he would need to qualify for a win. After making a one-inning relief appearance Wednesday in Philadelphia, Beck will be taking the hill on three days' rest. Beck hasn't covered more than four innings in any of his relief outings with the Giants since the start of June, turning in a 2.85 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB over 41 frames during that stretch.

Pittsburgh recalled Bolton from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Bolton will return to the Pirates' bullpen ahead of Sunday's series finale against the Cubs. The 25-year-old right-hander has surrendered 11 earned runs on 20 hits and 11 walks in 11 major-league innings this season.

Chargois will serve as the Marlins' opening pitcher in Sunday's game against the Nationals, the Associated Press reports.

The Marlins will treat the series finale as a bullpen day, with Chargois expected to cover no more than an inning or two before exiting the contest. Bryan Hoeing worked 4.2 innings in his last appearance out of the bullpen Monday and could be deployed as a bulk reliever behind Chargois.

St. Louis placed Zuniga on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right forearm strain.

Zuniga has made only two appearances this season at the major-league level and could struggle to make it back before the end of the 2023 campaign. James Naile has been called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move to provide aid to the St. Louis bullpen.

St. Louis recalled Naile from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

Naile has posted an ugly 9.64 ERA in 14 innings of work this season at the major-league level, but the Cardinals need a fresh bullpen arm after having to place Guillermo Zuniga (forearm) on the 15-day injured list.

The Dodgers optioned Hudson to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Hudson struggled with his command in a relief appearance Saturday at Boston and carries a 7.27 ERA in 8.2 major-league innings this year. Gavin Stone has been called up in a corresponding roster move to serve as the Dodgers' bulk reliever in Sunday's series finale against the Red Sox.
