The Angels recalled Eder from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

The left-hander spent the past three weeks at Salt Lake but will rejoin the Halos ahead of Sunday's series finale versus Miami. Eder has given up two earned runs over 2.1 frames in the majors this season and has a 4.78 ERA in six starts at Triple-A.

The Padres optioned Jacob to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Jacob has been up with San Diego all season and had been pitching decently with a 3.34 ERA through 20 appearances, but he surrendered 10 earned runs over his past two outings, including four runs Saturday in Atlanta. The right-hander will head to the minors in favor of Omar Cruz, who will bolster the Padres' bullpen depth.

The Padres recalled Cruz from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

The left-hander cracked San Diego's Opening Day roster but was sent down in early April after making just two appearances in the majors. Cruz is rejoining the Padres as bullpen depth Sunday after posting a 3.20 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 21:17 K:BB across 19.2 innings with El Paso.

The Padres recalled Morgan from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

The right-hander will fill the roster spot vacated by Michael King (shoulder), who was placed on the injured list Sunday. Morgan spent a week in the majors in late April and early May but has yet to make his MLB debut.

The Red Sox optioned Criswell to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Criswell served as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader with the Orioles but went unused in both contests. The right-hander hasn't made an appearance for the Red Sox or Worcester since May 8, but he could be a candidate to make a spot start or work as a bulk reliever for Boston against the Brewers on Tuesday, when the team will need to break in a temporary sixth member of the rotation due to a stretch of six games in five days.

The Blue Jays designated Walker for assignment Sunday.

The lefty reliever will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to catcher Ali Sanchez, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. Walker made three appearances out of the Toronto bullpen earlier this season but has otherwise spent the entire campaign at Buffalo, where he's compiled a 7.20 ERA, 2.10 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB across 10 innings.

Beck surrendered one earned run on two hits while striking out two over three innings in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Nationals.

The 28-year-old worked in long relief after being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, following the placement of Justin Verlander (pectoral) on the 15-day injured list. Beck threw 26 of his 38 pitches for strikes and delivered two scoreless innings before allowing two singles and a run in his final frame. Before being recalled, Beck posted a 3.24 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB over 25 relief innings in 15 games for Sacramento.

The Red Sox recalled Kelly from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Kelly will likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role in Boston's bullpen. He's previously made seven relief appearances for the big club this season, logging a 9.00 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB in 10 innings.

The Red Sox optioned Guerrero to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Guerrero was up with the big club for just one day and will be sent back to the minors after giving up an earned run on two hits and three walks over 1.1 innings in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader. Right-hander Zack Kelly was recalled from Triple-A to take Guerrero's spot in the bullpen.

Hanifee (2-2) allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits over an inning of work to take the loss Saturday against the Guardians. He walked one and struck out one.

Working the top of the 10th inning with the score tied 3-3, Hanifee picked an inopportune time to have his worst outing of the season. Coming into Saturday, the righty had allowed only six earned runs all year and had yet to allow more than one earned run in any single appearance. Hanifee still has a strong 3.24 ERA despite the hiccup, and he remains a key member of Detroit's bullpen.
