The Dodgers optioned Hurt to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Noah Camras of SI.com reports.

Hurt pitched two shutout innings during his appearance Tuesday against the Padres but will now be sent back to the minors to make room for Tarik Skubal, who returned from the bereavement list Wednesday. Assuming Hurt has thrown is last pitch in the majors this season, he'll close out 2026 with a 4.14 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and a 58:23 K:BB over 45.2 innings.

The Rangers optioned Santos to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Wednesday.

Winston was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday but did not make an appearance during his latest stint in the majors. The 24-year-old righty made his big-league debut July 1, allowing two runs over two innings in Cleveland, but that will go down as his lone outing with Texas this season barring a return as an injury replacement in the final days of the campaign.

The Rangers recalled Collyer from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday,

Collyer replaces Winston Santos in the Texas bullpen after spending the past two-plus months in the minor leagues. The right-handed Collyer made 23 relief appearances with the big club from mid-April to mid-July, posting a 5.09 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 22:19 K:BB in 23 innings.

The Blue Jays optioned Rodriguez to their spring training complex on Wednesday.

Rodriguez pitched a scoreless inning in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against Baltimore, bringing him to 4.2 shutout frames in MLB this season, but he'll be cast off the active roster ahead of the nightcap. With Dylan Cease (shoulder) moving to the injured list between games, Chase Lee and CJ Van Eyk will come up from Triple-A to fill the holes in Toronto's pitching staff.

The Blue Jays recalled Van Eyk from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

Van Eyk will join Chase Lee in moving to Toronto's bullpen to make up for the loss of Dylan Cease (shoulder) and Jose Rodriguez. Van Eyk has allowed three earned runs on 11 hits and two walks during his time with the Jays this season and will likely be limited to low-leverage work in the majors.

The Blue Jays recalled Lee from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

With Dylan Cease (shoulder) landing on the injured list and Jose Rodriguez moving off the active roster, Lee will come up from the minors to replenish Toronto's bullpen depth. The 28-year-old has turned in a 2.01 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 53.2 innings in the minors this year but will likely be limited to low-leverage work with the Jays after coughing up seven earned runs in just eight MLB frames.

The Mets designated Curry for assignment Wednesday, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

After being optioned to Triple-A last week, Curry will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster as well to make room for Philip Abner, who was claimed off waivers from San Francisco on Wednesday. Curry has appeared in nine games for the Mets this season, turning in a 5.48 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 21.1 innings.

The Mets claimed Abner off waivers from the Giants on Wednesday, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

Abner was pushed off the Giants' 40-man roster Monday but will reclaim a 40-man roster spot upon joining his new organization. The 24-year-old owns a 7.11 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 19 innings in the big leagues this season but will likely remain at Triple-A to begin his tenure with the Mets.

Crochet (lat) is not expected to pitch again before the end of the regular season, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The Red Sox had been leaving the door open for Crochet to pitch out of the big-league bullpen before the end of the regular season. Instead, he will throw another live BP session this weekend as he makes his case for the wild-card roster.

Santillan will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a left hip labral tear, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Santillan attemped to pitch through the injury the last couple weeks before officially shutting things down Tuesday. The Reds expect to have a better idea as to Santillan's rehab timeline following the procedure. He finished with a 6.42 ERA and 36:28 K:BB over 40.2 innings in 2026.
