The Rangers optioned Santos to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Santos' stint with the big club lasted only one day, and he did not make an appearance. He could join the rotation at Round Rock.

The Rangers designated Gonzales for assignment Friday.

Gonzales permitted a total of one run in a pair of three-inning relief outings for the Rangers, but he's nonetheless being jettisoned to waivers. The southpaw would have the ability to elect free agency if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Pirates recalled Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

Kelly has made a pair of relief appearances for the Pirates this season, giving up five runs with a 1:2 K:BB over 4.1 frames. The right-hander threw five shutout innings in his last relief outing at Indianapolis last Saturday, so he's prepared to provide length out of the Pittsburgh bullpen, if needed.

The Phillies optioned Keller to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

After making just one appearance with the Phillies on June 25, Keller will re-join the Triple-A club. The 32-year-old allowed just one run on two hits while striking out three in three innings during his lone appearance. Philadelphia elevated Andrew Painter from Lehigh Valley to replace Keller on the 26-man roster.

The Pirates optioned Barco to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

Barco gave up two runs on five hits and three walks in three innings as a bulk reliever Thursday versus the Reds. He was not going to be available to pitch for at least a day or two, so the Pirates will replace him in the bullpen with a fresh arm.

The Blue Jays activated Fisher from the bereavement list Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Fisher was away for the series against the Nationals earlier this week but is back in time for the start of a homestand Friday. He's logged a 4.15 ERA and 52:26 K:BB over 52 frames for Toronto in 2026.

The Blue Jays optioned Macko to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Macko gave up 10 runs in 7.1 innings out of the Blue Jays' bullpen this month to earn a trip back to the minors. His spot in the bullpen is being taken by Braydon Fisher, who is back from the bereavement list.

The Mets recalled Curry from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Curry has yielded two runs with a 4:2 K:BB over six innings during his brief time with the Mets this season. Though the righty hasn't made a start since late June at Syracuse, he could eat some innings Friday against the Marlins in what will be a bullpen game for the Mets.

The Mets called up Pintaro from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

With Cionel Perez (forearm) hitting the 15-day injured list, the Mets recalled Pintaro to take his place in the bullpen. Pintaro appeared in five games earlier this season, recording a 5.11 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB through 12.1 innings.

The Mets placed Perez on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left forearm strain.

Perez has tossed 5.2 scoreless frames with a 9:0 K:BB over his last five appearances but will be shelved for at least the next couple weeks. With A.J. Minter having also been dealt, the Mets have added Jonathan Pintaro and Xzavion Curry to their bullpen.
