The Royals transferred Marsh (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Luke Maile. Marsh re-started a throwing program last week after being shut down for a bit, but he will need several weeks to ramp up, so the move to the 60-day IL doesn't alter his timetable.

The Mets optioned Adcock to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Adcock spent 24 hours with the big club and threw 18 pitches out of the bullpen Thursday against the Diamondbacks. He faced four batters and surrendered one hit and one walk. With Adcock going back down to Triple-A, the Mets have recalled fellow reliever Austin Warren.

The Mets recalled Warren from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

In a corresponding move, the Mets optioned Ty Adcock to Triple-A Syracuse. Warren has tossed 10.1 innings at Triple-A this season, registering a 4.35 ERA and 14:9 K:BB. He'll work in middle relief for New York.

The Guardians selected Festa's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

The Guardians acquired Festa via trade earlier this week and have now added him to their big-league bullpen. Festa has been dominant at the Triple-A level this season, tossing 14.2 scoreless innings with a 20:7 K:BB.

The Astros reinstated Abreu from the paternity list Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

The 28-year-old Abreu spent 48 hours away from the team but is back to assume his role as the team's top setup man. Through 13 innings of work this season, Abreu has a 2.08 ERA and an 18:8 K:BB.

The Cardinals recalled Munoz from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Munoz made three appearances with St. Louis earlier this season, allowing three runs with a 4:1 K:BB over 2.2 innings. The right-hander will give manager Oliver Marmol a fresh bullpen arm.

The Cardinals recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Roycroft was sent down last month after allowing seven runs (five earned) on six hits and six walks over 5.2 innings. He seemed to get back on track at Memphis, permitting two runs with a 6:2 K:BB across six frames.

The Cardinals optioned O'Brien to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

He's being replaced by a fresh relief arm after throwing 34 pitches over 1.2 frames Thursday versus the Reds. O'Brien will get another opportunity later this season.

The Cardinals optioned Svanson to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Svanson wasn't going to be available for a day or two after throwing two innings and 44 pitches in a relief appearance Thursday in Cincinnati, so he's being replaced with a fresh bullpen arm. Roddery Munoz and Chris Roycroft have been added to the St. Louis relief corps.

The Pirates optioned Stratton to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Stratton had been called up earlier this week and made two appearances, allowing a total of four runs over 1.2 innings. Utility player Liover Peguero is taking his spot on the roster.
