  • Twins' Caleb Boushley: Contract selected

    The Twins selected Boushley's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    After pushing Trevor Richards off the 40-man roster, the Twins will now call upon Boushley to fill the open spot in their bullpen. The 30-year-old has allowed two earned runs over two innings in the big leagues this season, and he owns a 4.97 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 116 innings (22 starts) in the minors. He'll presumably serve as a long reliever while with the Twins.

  • Greg Weissert RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Greg Weissert: Back in majors

    The Red Sox recalled Weissert from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Weissert was just sent down this past Friday but is back to take the spot of the injured Lucas Sims (lat). The right-hander has collected a 4.10 ERA and 49:18 K:BB over 48.1 frames out of the Red Sox' bullpen this season.

  • Brad Keller RP | PHI

    Red Sox's Brad Keller: Booted from 40-man roster

    The Red Sox designated Keller for assignment Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Keller coughed up five runs (three earned) over four innings in an extended relief appearance Monday versus the Blue Jays. He wasn't going to be available for at least a couple days, so the Red Sox have elected to summon another reliever in his spot.

  • Lucas Sims RP | CHW

    Red Sox's Lucas Sims: Placed on IL with lat strain

    The Red Sox placed Sims on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lat strain, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Sims has been terrible since being acquired at the trade deadline, surrendering nine runs with a 7:7 K:BB over 10 innings. Now he will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks, and in all likelihood, longer.

  • Riley O'Brien RP | STL

    Cardinals' Riley O'Brien: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Cardinals recalled O'Brien from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    O'Brien made the Cardinals' Opening Day roster but suffered a flexor strain in his first appearance and missed the remainder of the first half. He has pitched well since resurfacing at Memphis, posting a 1.35 ERA and 9:5 K:BB over 13.1 innings, to earn another look with the big club.

  • Anthony Gose RP | KC

    Guardians' Anthony Gose: Back on 26-man roster

    The Guardians selected Gose's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

    Gose was designated for assignment for the second time in August on Wednesday but inked a minor-league deal with the Guardians on Saturday and will rejoin the active roster. The 34-year-old allowed two runs in his lone appearance with the Guardians this season and has logged a 3.46 ERA across 39 innings for Columbus. Logan Allen was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

  • Cardinals' Shawn Armstrong: Jettisoned from 40-man roster

    The Cardinals designated Armstrong for assignment Tuesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Armstrong was acquired from the Rays in the Dylan Carlson trade and has pitched well with a 2.84 ERA and 12:2 K:BB over 12.2 innings. The Cardinals are likely hoping the right-hander gets claimed so they can clear a bit of salary. Riley O'Brien will replace Armstrong on the roster and in the bullpen.

  • White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Recalled Tuesday

    The White Sox recalled Berroa from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

    The right-hander was sent to Charlotte in early August but will rejoin the big-league bullpen after John Brebbia was designated for assignment. Berroa has made just three appearances in the majors this season and has largely struggled at Triple-A with a 6.60 ERA and 49:35 K:BB over 46.1 innings.

  • John Brebbia RP | COL

    White Sox's John Brebbia: Designated for assignment

    The White Sox designated Brebbia for assignment Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

    The veteran right-hander filled a high-leverage role for Chicago this season and recorded two saves and 13 holds, but he hadn't been particularly effective with a 6.29 ERA in 54 outings. Brebbia posted a sub-4.00 ERA in five of his six MLB campaigns entering the season, so he could receive some interest from other teams.

  • Matt Moore RP | BOS

    Angels' Matt Moore: Goes on IL with forearm injury

    The Angels placed Moore on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left forearm strain.

    Moore had to be lifted from an appearance Sunday versus the Blue Jays due to the injury. He will be sidelined for at least the next two weeks and potentially longer. Ryan Miller is taking Moore's spot on the Angels' roster.
