Sousa (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Justin Wilson's return. Sousa is beginning a rehab assignment with the Brewers' Arizona Coast League affiliate Friday, so he could be ready for activation when first eligible in early August. He's been out since early June with left shoulder nerve irritation.

The Mets recalled Garrett from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

He will fill the spot in New York's bullpen that opened up after David Robertson was traded to Miami on Thursday. Garrett holds a 2.45 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 29.1 innings in the minors this season, but he's struggled badly in prior big-league stints. Until he can produce consistent results in the majors, Garrett will remain a low-leverage option in the Mets' bullpen.

Hudson allowed five runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 innings in Thursday's 10-3 loss to the Cubs. He did not factor in the decision.

Starter Miles Mikolas was ejected for throwing at Ian Happ after the Chicago outfielder caught Willson Contreras (head) with a backswing earlier in the at-bat. Hudson was able to mop up some innings in the blowout loss and tossed a season-high 107 pitches, getting him fully stretched out in case he's needed as a starter again. The right-hander currently isn't part of the Cardinals' rotation, but he could be the next man up if pitchers like Jordan Montgomery and/or Jack Flaherty are dealt ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. Hudson has a 4.19 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB through 19.1 innings over seven appearances (one start) this season.

Raley earned a save against the Nationals on Thursday, issuing one walk and striking out one batter in a scoreless inning.

David Robertson entered the day as the Mets' closer and even warmed up in the bullpen while New York rallied in the eighth inning, but the righty reliever didn't get a chance to pitch following a lengthy rain delay. As it turns out, Robertson ended up being traded to Miami, so Raley's save conversion may be a sign that he'll get more ninth-inning opportunities moving forward. Raley has worked primarily in a setup role this season with 19 holds against just two saves, though he did notch six saves with the Rays last season. Adam Ottavino has finished games at times for the Mets this year -- he has six saves in seven chances -- and figures to be a prominent factor in the team's new closer picture as well.

Clase picked up the save in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the White Sox. He allowed two hits while striking out one over a scoreless inning.

Clase was able to work around a pair of two-out singles, striking out Andrew Benintendi to close out the Guardians' win and pick up his 28th save of the year. Clase has now thrown seven straight scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and a walk in that span. His ERA is down to 3.02 with a 1.09 WHIP and 43:12 K:BB across 47.2 innings this season.

Barnes (hip) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Barnes underwent surgery on his left hip Tuesday and is likely to be out for the rest of the season. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list to create space on the 40-man roster for David Robertson, whom the Marlins acquired from the Mets on Thursday.

Robertson was traded by the Mets to the Marlins in exchange for two prospects Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The Marlins have been trying to bolster their bullpen in the last few days, first flipping Dylan Floro for Jorge Lopez. Now they've added Robertson, who has served as the Mets' primary closer this season and put together a stellar 2.05 ERA and 1.00 WHIP to go along with a 48:13 K:BB across 44 frames. It's unclear if he'll get the full allotment of saves in Miami, though he does pair well with A.J. Puk given their complementary handedness.

Weiss was returned to Triple-A Salt Lake following Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Weiss made his sixth big-league appearance of the season in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader, and he threw 0.2 innings while allowing one earned run. He'll remain a depth option should the Angels need relief help later in the campaign.

Logue was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Logue has pitched primarily with Toledo this season, though he has made three appearances with the big-league club in July. He threw four innings in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Angels, allowing three earned runs on six hits while striking out five. Logue should be back in the majors at some point prior to the close of the campaign.

Curry will start Friday against the White Sox, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

As long as Cleveland is able to avoid using Curry during Thursday's contest, the 25-year-old righty is now set to make his third start of the season. Curry holds a 2.98 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through 54.1 innings across 26 appearances, though he hasn't pitched more than three innings since April.
