Kahnle pitched a scoreless inning against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter.

Kahnle had been out all season with a biceps injury before he was activated Thursday. The veteran reliever made his campaign debut against the team for which he played last year, though a forearm injury limited him to just 13 regular-season appearances with Los Angeles. Kahnle handled a pretty hefty workload Friday, tossing 29 pitches (17 strikes) and fanning James Outman after allowing a two-out double followed by a walk. The right-hander will likely get a chance to work in high-leverage situations for the Yankees pretty quickly, but with only 15 big-league games under his belt since 2019, he may not pitch in back-to-back contests for awhile.

The Rockies reinstated Mears (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Mears has been on the IL since May 15 with a left oblique strain. He's allowed two runs over six innings out of the big-league bullpen this season, but he will return to Triple-A where he holds a 6.97 ERA and 2.08 WHIP on the year.

Soriano was recalled Saturday from Double-A Rocket City, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Soriano will get his first taste of MLB action at age 24, presumably operating as a low-leverage bullpen option for the Angels. He had pitched to a 4.24 ERA with 31 strikeouts through 23.1 innings this season at the Double-A level.

Silseth was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Jose Soriano will join the Angels' bullpen in a corresponding roster move. Silseth has posted a 5.30 ERA and 15:13 K:BB in 18.2 innings this season at the MLB level.

Bruihl was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Michael Grove (groin) is off the injured list in a corresponding move and will start for the Dodgers on Saturday against the Yankees. Bruihl has posted a 4.41 ERA in 16.1 innings of relief for Los Angeles this year.

Santillan (knee/hamstring) resumed throwing bullpen sessions Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Santillan suffered a setback in May that shut him down from throwing, but he is now back doing mound work. He's slated to throw live batting practice next week and could begin a rehab assignment shortly thereafter.

Toronto recalled Jackson from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

The 35-year-old will give the Blue Jays an extra bullpen arm as starter Chris Bassitt heads out on paternity leave. Jackson will probably be sent back down when Bassitt returns next week, or when Zach Pop (hamstring) is activated from the IL.

Pittsburgh optioned Bolton to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

Bolton has been lit up for 11 earned runs on 15 hits and nine walks in eight innings of relief this season at the major-league level, so it's no surprise to see him sent down.

The Pirates recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

De Los Santos will join the Pirates as the team searches for depth in its bullpen. He will replace Cody Bolton -- who was optioned to Triple-A on Saturday -- and is likely to work in low-leverage situations. De Los Santos holds a 5.60 ERA and a hefty 2.56 WHIP through 17.2 innings in the minors.

The Pirates selected Perdomo's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

Perdomo holds a 3.18 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 35:16 K:BB ratio through 22.2 innings with Indianapolis. He has a bit of MLB experience -- 19.2 innings with the Brewers between 2020-21 -- but didn't find much success with 18 earned runs allowed. Chris Owings was designated for assignment to make room for Perdomo on the active roster.
