The Royals selected Gose's contract from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

Gose has spent the entire season at Triple-A, where he owns a 4.94 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 59:31 K:BB across 47.1 innings. Although his performance has been unremarkable, the 36-year-old will now return to the big leagues for the first time since 2024 to give Kansas City's bullpen a fresh arm, replacing Mason Black.

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

Curry will provide bullpen protection after the Mets' relief corps was needed for five frames in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers. The right-hander has logged a 2.81 ERA and 10:7 K:BB over 16 innings during his time with the big club in 2026.

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

McDermott tossed two innings and threw 48 pitches in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers, so he's being sent out in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. Xzavion Curry will absorb McDermott's spot on the roster.

Rodriguez earned a save against Pittsburgh on Wednesday, allowing two hits and striking out two batters over two scoreless innings.

Rodriguez entered in the eighth inning and quickly got into trouble by allowing back-to-back singles to start the frame, but he recovered by retiring the next three batters without letting any runs cross the plate. With primary closer Mason Miller unavailable after having pitched each of the previous two days, Rodriguez returned for the ninth inning and had a much smoother go, retiring the side in order on 12 pitches. The save was Rodriguez's second of the season, both of which have come over his past five appearances. With those two saves and four holds over his past 12 outings -- and a minuscule 0.63 ERA along with a 19:1 K:BB across 14.1 frames during that span -- it's clear that Rodriguez has become a trusted high-leverage arm in the Padres' bullpen. However, Miller is immensely secure in his closer role, so any future save opportunities Rodriguez receives will likely be dependent on Miller being unavailable.

The White Sox optioned Cannon to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Cannon registered a three-inning save in Wednesday's win over the Rangers. He threw 66 pitches over his three innings, however, so he was not going to be available to pitch for at least a couple days. Tyler Davis is grabbing Cannon's spot on the roster.

The White Sox recalled Davis from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Davis has made 24 appearances out of the Chicago bullpen this season, logging a 4.10 ERA and 22:15 K:BB over 26.1 frames. The righty will provide a fresh arm in middle relief.

Graceffo will draw the start Thursday against the Orioles in what's expected to be a bullpen game for the Cardinals, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Graceffo is a former starting pitcher, but he's been a full-time reliever in 2026 and hasn't thrown more than 28 pitches in any of his last eight appearances. Once Graceffo exits the game after likely pitching the first inning or two, the Cardinals will lean on a collection of relievers as they aim to avoid a series sweep.

The Cardinals placed Strzelecki on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right forearm extensor inflammation.

Strzelecki has been worked hard by the Cardinals this month, throwing 30-plus pitches in all six of his appearances, so it's not terribly surprising he's now hurt. It's unclear how much time the reliever will miss.

The Cardinals selected Winquest's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

Winquest made the Yankees' Opening Day roster as a Rule 5 pick, but he was returned to the Cardinals before making an appearance. The 26-year-old right-hander got off to a slow start this season and missed some time with an undisclosed injury, but he's been locked in since the calendar flipped to August, tossing 10.1 scoreless innings with just three hits allowed and a 17:5 K:BB. Winquest will be making his major-league debut when he enters a game.

The Tigers released Sandlin on Tuesday.

Sandlin appeared in eight games at the big-league level with the Angels earlier this season before losing his spot on the 40-man roster and electing free agency in May. He joined the Tigers on a minor-league deal shortly thereafter but was unable to earn another look in the majors despite submitting a 3.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 46:20 K:BB in 36 innings at Triple-A Toledo. Given those strong results, the 29-year-old righty shouldn't have much difficulty finding work in another organization.
