The Blue Jays designated Seabold for assignment Wednesday.

Following his acquisition from the Tigers on May 27, Seabold made five appearances out of the Toronto bullpen and gave up three earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter in 3.1 innings. The 30-year-old right-hander will give up his spot on the roster to Max Scherzer (ankle/forearm), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Phillies.

Cleavinger gave up one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning Wednesday to record his second save of the season in a 7-5 win over the Red Sox. He struck out one.

A solo shot by Caleb Durbin accounted for the damage off Cleavinger, who got the call in a save situation with Bryan Baker having pitched the prior two days. The long ball was only the second Cleavinger has served up this season, and through 15.1 innings he's produced a 4.70 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB in 15.1 innings with one win and eight holds over 17 appearances, in addition to his two saves.

The Mariners placed Brash on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right lat strain.

Seattle recalled right-hander Domingo Gonzalez from Triple-A Tacoma to take Brash's spot in the bullpen. Brash has served as one of the top setup arms in front of closer Andres Munoz this season, notching three wins and six holds while accruing a 0.54 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB across 16.2 innings over his 20 appearances.

The Mariners recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Gonzalez has tossed 5.2 scoreless frames with a 5:3 K:BB during his time this season in the majors. The 26-year-old will operate in a middle relief role.

The White Sox recalled Murphy from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

He's taking the roster spot vacated by the injured Tyler Gilbert (shoulder). Murphy has given up seven runs with a 9:8 K:BB over 9.1 frames during his time in the Chicago bullpen this season. He'll be used in low-leverage spots.

The White Sox placed Gilbert on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left shoulder impingement.

Gilbert retired one of three batters faced in Tuesday's extra-innings win over Atlanta and finds himself on the IL a day later. Chris Murphy will take over Gilbert's vacated roster spot.

The Mets recalled Pintaro from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Pintaro made two scoreless appearances with the Mets earlier this season and holds a 3.16 ERA and 38:13 K:BB over 31.1 innings with Syracuse. The former starting pitcher is capable of covering multiple innings for the Mets, if needed.

The Giants reinstated Sanmartin (hip) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

A waiver pickup from the Reds back in November, Sanmartin ended up having his Giants debut delayed several months after suffering a significant right hip flexor strain back in spring training. The 30-year-old lefty was cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment in mid-May and compiled a 2.79 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB across 9.2 innings over nine appearances between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Triple-A Sacramento to convince the Giants he was ready to join the big-league bullpen. He's likely to be deployed in middle relief initially.

The Mets optioned Gerber to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Gerber covered two innings in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals, yielding one run. The Mets are replacing him on the roster with Jonathan Pintaro, who will give the club a fresh bullpen arm.

The Giants optioned Beck to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

The right-hander tossed two innings and 27 pitches in relief during Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals, so he might not have been available for Wednesday's series finale. As a result of his recent usage along with the fact that he had a minor-league option remaining, Beck ended up giving his spot in the bullpen and on the active roster to Reiver Sanmartin (hip), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list.
