The Brewers selected Kuhnel's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Kuhnel signed a minor-league deal with Milwaukee on June 11, and he'll now get another shot in the majors after giving up two earned runs while striking out eight batters and walking three through five innings with Nashville. Although the 29-year-old right-hander has found success in the minors this season across the three organizations he's been a part of, his 6.30 career ERA in the majors will likely limit him to low-leverage situations while with the Brewers. Carlos F. Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A to clear space for Kuhnel on the active roster, and Robert Gasser (elbow) was moved to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot.

The Athletics recalled O'Loughlin from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

The A's sent O'Loughlin to the minors June 9 after he had thrown seven shutout innings across three appearances out of the bullpen. He has since started two Triple-A games, allowing six earned runs in just 7.2 frames. He'll likely return to a multi-inning relief role while in Oakland, taking the place of Aaron Brooks on the MLB roster.

Hendriks (elbow) is slated to throw a bullpen session later this week, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

It will be his first time throwing off a mound since he underwent Tommy John surgery in early August of last year. Hendriks is hoping to join the Red Sox' relief corps at some point during the final two months of this season, and while that's possible, the bigger-picture goal is having him healthy and ready to roll as a member of Boston's 2025 bullpen.

The Mariners recalled Snider from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The right-hander joins the Mariners on Tuesday for his third stint in the majors this season. Snider has allowed two earned runs with a 5:2 K:BB over five innings for the Mariners, and he has a 3.44 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 17 outings at Triple-A.

Faedo (hip) is scheduled to make his third rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

After tossing a scoreless inning in his first minor-league appearance, Faedo surrendered four hits, two walks and a run across 1.1 innings Saturday. He's been on the injured list since June 5 but is expected to rejoin the major-league roster soon. In fact, Tuesday's outing could be his last at Toledo.

Hartlieb cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

Hartlieb was removed from the 40-man roster Saturday after having his contract selected June 8. He made five relief appearances for the Rockies, giving up 10 runs (nine earned) over nine innings.

The Marlins transferred Sanchez (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Austin Kitchen, who was claimed off waivers. Sanchez had been hoping to be cleared to throw a bullpen session soon, but this move would seem to suggest that won't happen. The righty has been out since early June with right shoulder inflammation and now won't be eligible to return until the beginning of August at the earliest.

The Marlins claimed Kitchen off waivers from the Rockies on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Kitchen was up briefly with the Rockies recently but didn't make an appearance. The left-handed reliever holds a 3.00 ERA and 1.27 WHIP through 33 innings at Triple-A Albuquerque this season.

The Tigers recalled Lucas from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Lucas will join the big-league club for the first time since being claimed off waivers by Detroit on May 18. He made three appearances with the Athletics before being moved off the 40-man roster, allowing seven runs (six earned) across 3.2 innings. He also struggled at Toledo, accumulating a 6.14 ERA across 14.2 innings.

The Tigers optioned Englert to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

They need to free up a roster spot for Keider Montero, who will start Wednesday versus the Phillies, and Englert's locker at Comerica Park has been cleaned out. Englert holds a 5.95 ERA and 14:4 K:BB over 19.2 relief innings this season.
