MLB Player News

The Mets recalled Coonrod from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Coonrod has missed most of this season due to a high-grade lat strain, but he's pitched to a 1.69 ERA over 5.1 major-league innings (seven relief appearances) when healthy. The 30-year-old right-hander will be available out of the bullpen Tuesday at Washington.

Sborz was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a hamstring strain, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Sborz took the loss Monday against Houston after he gave up five earned runs over two-thirds of an inning, which capped off a six-appearance stretch during which he surrendered 13 earned runs. The right-hander had a 3.83 ERA through 36 outings prior to that ugly span, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks as he attempts to get healthy.

Fulmer (forearm) is expected to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Fulmer has been playing catch without issue over the last few days and is ready to take the next step in his recovery from the mild right forearm strain that sent him to the injured list Aug. 26. He could potentially skip a minor-league rehab assignment and return to the Cubs' bullpen this weekend if everything continues to go smoothly.

The White Sox claimed Ramirez off waivers from the Pirates on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Ramirez was designated for assignment Friday despite holding a decent 3.67 ERA and 31:14 K:BB through 34.1 innings of relief this season with Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old right-hander could get a look in Chicago's bullpen down the stretch but will head to Triple-A Charlotte for now.

Mariot was designated for assignment by the Reds on Tuesday.

Mariot made his first major-league appearance in seven years Monday versus the Mariners and allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk over 2.2 innings of relief. Kevin Herget will take his place on the 40-man roster as he returns to the Reds' bullpen ahead of Tuesday night's game against Seattle.

Cincinnati selected Herget's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Herget has struggled to a 5.73 ERA in 22 innings this season at the major-league level, but the Reds are in need of fresh arms. The 32-year-old right-hander will likely operate in a low-leverage relief role.

Washington optioned La Sorsa to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

La Sorsa has posted a rough 6.98 ERA in 19.1 innings of relief this season at the major-league level and will head back to the farm as starter MacKenzie Gore returns from bereavement leave.

Voth cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

Voth is no longer on the Orioles' 40-man roster but has accepted the outright assignment and will join Norfolk's roster as swingman depth. He holds a 5.19 ERA through 34.2 innings in the majors in 2023.

Perez (1-2) took the extra-inning loss against the Blue Jays on Monday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits over one-third of an inning.

A day after securing his first major-league victory, Perez fell apart when asked to preserve a 3-3 tie upon entering in the 10th. The left-hander got into immediate trouble by surrendering an RBI double and a run-scoring single to Santiago Espinal and Cavan Biggio, respectively, and he was ultimately charged with an additional run after exiting. The stumble snapped the 26-year-old's season-high three-appearance scoreless streak and pushed his ERA back up to an ugly 6.75 across 10.2 innings.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Sunday that Rainey (elbow) will "get a few more outings" on his minor-league rehab assignment before being activated from the 60-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

Rainey has a bit of achiness in his right arm, but Martinez labeled it as "the norm" for a pitcher who went a full calendar year between live appearances. Now more than 13 months removed from Tommy John surgery, the 30-year-old reliever has posted a 5.14 ERA and 8:6 K:BB in seven rehab innings between the rookie-level Florida Complex League, Single-A Fredericksburg, Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester.
