Weber's contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Weber rejoined the Yankees on a minor-league deal last week and tossed 3.1 scoreless innings at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. He allowed a run on two hits and no walks while striking out one in 3.2 innings during his first big-league appearance of the season and should serve as a low-leverage reliever now that he's back on the active roster.

Hudson (6-4) gave up three earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings to earn the win in a 5-3 victory over the Marlins on Tuesday.

Hudson gave up three runs in the third inning, but his offense bailed him out with a four-run tally in the bottom of the fifth to help him to his sixth win of the season. Hudson hasn't yet snapped fully back to form following Tommy John surgery, as he's only recorded 44 strikeouts over 80 innings and carries a pedestrian 1.35 WHIP. The most encouraging sign for the 27-year-old right-hander is that he's healthy and consistently making starts in a Cardinals rotation which has been hit with injuries to Steven Matz (shoulder), Jack Flaherty (shoulder) and Jordan Hicks (forearm). Look for him to take the mound Sunday at Philadelphia.

Beeks is scheduled to serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Bally Sports Sun reports.

Beeks is pitching on three days' rest and hasn't tossed more than 2.1 innings or 43 pitches in any of his 19 appearances this season, so he won't be in line for a traditional start. Wednesday had been Jeffrey Springs' day to pitch, so he'll likely be the top candidate to serve as a bulk reliever behind Beeks, if the Rays decide to go that route.

Helsley earned his sixth save in Tuesday's win over the Marlins, pitching a perfect ninth inning during which he struck out the side.

Helsley was dominant when called in to protect a two-run lead in the ninth. He fanned Garrett Cooper and Avisail Garcia with high-90s four-seamers and Jesus Aguilar with a nasty 79 mph curveball. The power pitcher continues to hold up his end of the closer tandem with Giovanny Gallegos and now has six saves on the season to go along with an elite 12.7 K/9 rate.

Heasley (1-4) gave up seven earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings to take the loss in an 8-3 defeat to the Rangers on Tuesday.

Heasley had his worst start of the year at the hands of the Rangers, which chased him from the game before the end of the fourth inning. The 25-year-old rookie only mustered six swings-and-misses over the course of his start and was taken deep by Marcus Semien for a three-run shot in the third. The Royals' No. 8 prospect is unlikely to earn many wins this season due to his inflated 5.20 ERA and weak supporting offensive cast, which is now without slugger Salvador Perez (thumb). Heasley is tentatively slated for a tough matchup in his next start Monday at Houston.

Rogers (0-4) allowed a run on two hits and a hit-by-pitch while striking out three in 1.2 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Rogers entered with the bases loaded in the eighth inning and promptly allowed the tying run to score when he plunked Carson Kelly. The game remained tied into the ninth, where Rogers allowed two-out singles to Josh Rojas and Ketel Marte. Christian Walker then got aboard on a fielder's choice that scored the winning run, leaving Rogers with a loss in addition to his fourth blown save. He's pitched to a 2.84 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB while adding 22 saves in 31.2 innings.

Manaea allowed three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven in six-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Manaea threw six shutout innings before running into trouble in the seventh. The Padres' bullpen fared no better in the late innings, which ultimately cost Manaea the win as he took a third straight no-decision. The southpaw owns a 3.92 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 89:31 K:BB through 85 innings in 14 starts this year. He's projected for a home start versus the Mariners next week as he looks to get back into the win column.

Melancon (3-6) earned the win Tuesday over the Padres. He struck out two and walked one in a scoreless inning.

Melancon was the beneficiary of the Diamondbacks' comeback, which culminated in a walkoff in the ninth inning. The 37-year-old hasn't logged a save since June 3, but that's been due to a lack opportunities more than anything else. The veteran reliever has a 5.47 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB through 26.1 innings. He's 11-for-13 in saves chances.

Silseth allowed three runs on five hits and struck out six over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox.

Silseth cruised through four innings but ran into trouble in the fifth. He exited after giving up a game-tying two-run home run to Josh Harrison. Long balls were a problem during Silseth's previous stint in the majors, and he's now given up five homers in 20.2 innings. The rookie right-hander has a 5.23 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB in five major-league starts. It's unclear if he'll get another turn -- if he does, he lines up to start in Miami next week. The Angels could opt to take advantage of off days Thursday and Monday to temporarily switch to a five-man rotation.

Brebbia allowed a run on two hits and struck out one in one inning, earning a hold in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Tigers.

Brebbia has picked up four holds in his last six outings, allowing two runs (one earned) in five innings in that span. The right-hander has steadied himself after a bumpy May, and he now has a 2.78 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB in 32.1 innings overall. His hold Tuesday was his eighth of the year, and he should continue to serve in a middle-innings role.
