Wilson was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Wilson was optioned to El Paso earlier this month, but he will rejoin the big club and take the place of Tanner Scott (finger), who landed on the injured list in the corresponding move.

Scott was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday retroactive to Aug. 13 with a right third finger laceration.

The extent of Scott's injury is unclear, but he will miss at least a couple weeks of action. Steven Wilson was added to the Padres' bullpen in the corresponding move.

Kelly (illness) is available out of the bullpen Monday against the Astros, Scot Gregor of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

Kelly was removed from Thursday's game against the Royals due to lightheadedness and didn't pitch during the weekend series against the Tigers. He's posted a 2.25 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in eight innings over nine appearances since the All-Star break.

Pearson (lat) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Pearson increased his throwing distance last week and has now been cleared to throw off a mound for the first time since he sustained his lat injury in June. The right-hander will likely ramp up his intensity over the next few weeks and will presumably require a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the Blue Jays.

Foster was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Foster made five relief appearances for the White Sox in August and posted a 1.80 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in five innings. The right-hander had been with the major-league club since the start of the regular season but will head to the minors after Vince Velasquez (finger) was reinstated from the injured list Monday.

Vasquez was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Monday.

Vasquez was claimed off waivers by the Phillies on Aug. 2 after he was DFA'd by the Blue Jays, but he will now either remain with Lehigh Valley, get claimed by another team or get released outright. Although he's struggled in limited major-league action this year, the left-hander has produced a 2.40 ERA over 15 innings in 14 appearances at Triple-A this season.

Brash (3-4) took the loss against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing two earned runs on two hits and a wild pitch over two-thirds of an inning.

Brash's control has been one of his Achilles heels thus far in his professional career, and that surfaced somewhat again Sunday. Entrusted with preserving a 3-3 tie when he entered in the seventh, Brash retired Josh Smith and Marcus Semien to open the frame before surrendering a double to Corey Seager, advancing him to third on a wild pitch and subsequently conceding an RBI single to Adolis Garcia. He was also charged post-exit with the run Garcia scored on the double Erik Swanson surrendered to Nathaniel Lowe, making it the first time Brash had given up multiple earned runs in an outing since his May 4 against the Astros.

Coonrod (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Coonrod will return to the Phillies' bullpen after suffering a shoulder strain in March and missing the entirety of the season to this point. The right-hander produced a 4.04 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 48 strikeouts over 42.1 innings in 42 appearances with Philadelphia last year. He will replace Corey Knebel (lat) on the active roster after Knebel was placed on the 15-day IL Monday.

Karinchak was reinstated from the restricted list Monday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Karinchak will return to the team after missing the three-game series versus the Blue Jays while on the restricted list. The reliever has produced a 1.72 ERA and 1.02 WHIP with 28 strikeouts over 15.2 innings in 14 appearances since joining the big-league roster July 3.

Curry was called up from Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Curry is set to make his major-league debut Monday, facing the Tigers in Game 2 of a doubleheader. The 24-year-old has produced a 3.09 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with 33 strikeouts over 32 innings in six starts with Columbus this season. Curry will likely return to Triple-A following Monday's outing.
