The Pirates recalled Stratton from Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Stratton was sent down to Triple-A on Aug. 9, but he returns to the 26-man roster Monday at the expense of Ryder Ryan, who was designated for assignment. After a rough start to the 2024 season, Stratton hadn't allowed a run in 7.1 innings out of the Pittsburgh bullpen before he was placed on the IL.

The Pirates designated Ryan for assignment Monday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Ryan will lose his spot on the 40-man roster for the second time in three weeks as part of a flurry of roster moves by Pittsburgh on Monday. The 29-year-old appeared in two games during this stint in the majors, allowing three runs across 3.2 innings. He has a 5.66 ERA in 20.2 innings for Pittsburgh this season.

The Royals optioned Hernandez to Triple-A Omaha on Monday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Hernandez allowed just one earned run with a 6:1 K:BB over four innings during his most recent stint in the majors but nonetheless is being sent out. John Schreiber is back from the injured list to absorb his roster spot.

The Royals activated Schreiber (knee) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Schreiber will rejoin the Royals bullpen after a three-week stay on the injured list due to right knee soreness. The 30-year-old has a 4.14 ERA and a 30:13 K:BB across 37 innings for the Royals this season. Carlos Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

The Rangers recalled Anderson from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Anderson will replace Gerson Garabito -- who threw four scoreless innings Sunday -- on the 26-man roster, giving the Rangers a fresh arm for the start of a three-game series against the Pirates. In 22.2 innings with the Rangers, Anderson has a 7.54 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP.

The Rangers optioned Garabito to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Garabito had been with the Rangers since July 29, posting a 3.48 ERA across 10.1 innings for the team, including four scoreless frames Sunday. However, the Rangers will cycle in Grant Anderson and his fresh arm for some immediate bullpen help.

The Red Sox recalled Weissert to Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Weissert was sent down in late July after yielding 17 runs across 12.2 innings covering his last 11 relief appearances. He appeared to right the ship at Worcester, allowing one run with a 7:2 K:BB over six frames.

The Red Sox optioned Horn to Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Horn was busy over the past week, allowing three runs in four innings covering five appearances. He's being replaced by a fresh bullpen arm in Greg Weissert.

The Brewers optioned Peguero to Triple-A Nashville on Monday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Peguero had posted a 1.38 ERA and 13:6 K:BB over his last 13 innings covering 15 appearances but nonetheless finds himself back in the minors. The Brewers have not yet announced a corresponding move, but Trevor Megill (back) returning from the injured list appears highly probable.

The Guardians transferred Hentges (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Hentges has been on the shelf since July 12 due to left shoulder swelling and was removed from his rehab assignment Aug. 9 with soreness in the shoulder. The move to the 60-day IL means that Hentges won't be eligible to return until Sept. 10. Anthony Gose was called up from Triple-A Columbus to take Hentges' spot on the 40-man roster.
