Nittoli agreed to a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Nittoli opted out of his minor-league pact with the Brewers last week and has quickly landed in a new organization. The 34-year-old last appeared in the big leagues with the Orioles in 2024, making two scoreless appearances. Nittoli will report to Triple-A Norfolk.

The Blue Jays recalled Fluharty from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Fluharty was sent down earlier this month following a rough stretch in which he surrendered 13 runs (12 earned) over his last 7.1 innings. The lefty seemed to right the ship at Buffalo, allowing one run with an 8:2 K:BB in 4.2 frames. Fluharty will give manager John Schneider a third southpaw in the bullpen ahead of a big series against the Yankees.

The Blue Jays optioned Pina to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Pina had been with the big club for more than two weeks but made only one appearance during that time, allowing three runs (one earned) over 1.1 innings. Lefty Mason Fluharty was recalled from Triple-A to take Pina's spot in the bullpen.

Assad (oblique) will resume a rehab assignment with the rookie-level Arizona Complex League Cubs on Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Assad has been sidelined all season after aggravating a left oblique strain during a rehab start back in late April. The right-hander is hoping to be available for the Cubs at some point in August, but it's uncertain what his role would look like at that time.

The Mets transferred Nunez (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

The transaction is merely procedural, as Nunez is slated to miss the rest of the season and likely the entire 2026 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery last Monday. The Mets claimed right-hander Rico Garcia from the Yankees on Monday and will have him take over Nunez's spot on the 40-man roster.

The Mets claimed Garcia off waivers from the Yankees on Monday.

Garcia has now gone from the Mets to the Yankees and now back to the Mets via waivers this month. He threw 4.2 scoreless innings for the Mets earlier in July before coughing up three runs over 2.2 frames in his lone appearance with the Yankees. Garcia is out of minor-league options, so he will be added to the Mets' 26-man active roster.

Diaz (5-0) was credited with the win after blowing a save opportunity Sunday against the Reds, giving up a hit and a walk while striking out one in a scoreless one-third of an inning.

Brought in to protect a one-run lead with one on and two outs in the top of the eighth inning, Diaz loaded the bases with a walk and a single before plunking Spencer Steer to bring home the tying run, which was charged to Reed Garrett. Diaz then didn't come back out for the ninth after throwing 16 pitches, only six of which were strikes. Not counting the All-Star Game, it was the Mets' closer's first blown save since June 2, which was also the last time he gave up a run. Over his last 13 appearances, Diaz has posted a 0.77 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB in 13 innings to go along with his pristine 0.00 ERA while picking up two wins and six saves.

Akin (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Akin has missed most of July with left shoulder inflammation but is ready to test himself in a game setting. Because the left-hander's absence has been relatively brief, Akin will likely require just a couple rehab appearances before rejoining the Orioles' active roster.

Nance struck out three over 1.2 perfect relief innings to record his first hold of the season in Sunday's win over the Giants.

The 34-year-old right-hander was called up to bolster an injury-ravaged Toronto bullpen last weekend, and Nance has been surprisingly effective, allowing just an unearned run over three appearances and 3.2 innings with a 5:1 K:BB. With the Blue Jays likely to add more depth at the trade deadline and set to get setup options like Yimi Garcia (ankle/elbow) and Nick Sandlin (elbow) back in the next couple weeks, Nance's stay in the majors could end up being fairly brief.

Sandlin (elbow) has begun playing catch, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

The 28-year-old righty has had trouble staying healthy in his first season with the Blue Jays, but he's been effective when available, posting a 2.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB with a save and six holds over 16.1 innings and 19 appearances. Sandlin's latest injury, a bout of elbow inflammation, has sidelined him since July 7, but now that he's resumed a throwing progression he could be ready to rejoin the Toronto bullpen by the end of the month.
