Wilson (hamstring) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday, Mike Persak of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Wilson landed on the shelf Sunday after exiting Saturday's start with the hamstring injury, and he'll be sidelined for the final two weeks of the season. The right-hander made 15 big-league starts between Atlanta and Pittsburgh this season and finished with a 4.88 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 44:18 K:BB across 72 innings.

Solomon was optioned to Houston's taxi squad on Monday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

The right-hander allowed one run over four innings of long relief Sunday and has been removed from the big-league roster in favor of a fresh arm. However, Solomon will remain with the team on the taxi squad and could rejoin the active roster before the end of the season.

Stanek landed on the paternity list Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Players typically spend three days on paternity leave, so Stanek will likely return Thursday. Brandon Bielak was recalled to take his place on the roster.

Payamps will start Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader versus Cleveland, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

The 27-year-old will make his first start the majors with Kansas City set to employ a bullpen game to close out the twin bill. Payamps has pitched two frames in each of his past two outings and is likely to have a similar workload Monday.

Wittgren will start Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader versus the Royals.

Wittgren will make the first start of his MLB career with Cleveland utilizing a bullpen game in the nightcap. The 30-year-old hasn't thrown more than two innings during a single appearance this season and is unlikely to pitch beyond that Monday.

Warren was activated off the COVID-19 injured list Monday.

Warren has been out since late August. He was cleared to return to the team nearly two weeks ago but has been limited to simulated games since then. He's now ready for game action, with Cooper Criswell heading to the minors to clear a spot in the bullpen.

Criswell was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Criswell was recalled Saturday, but he didn't make any appearances during his stint with the major-league club. He'll head back to Salt Lake, where he's recorded a 6.75 ERA and 1.61 WHIP in 36 innings across seven starts this year.

Suter hasn't pitched recently due to an illness, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Suter hasn't made an appearance since Sept. 8, and manager Craig Counsell revealed Monday that the southpaw has been unavailable due to an illness. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but he should currently be considered day-to-day.

Flores cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Flores was designated for assignment over the weekend and will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 26-year-old has one big-league appearance and surrendered one run on a hit and two walks without recording an out.

The Blue Jays will include Hatch (hamstring) on their taxi squad for their seven-game road trip that begins Monday in Tampa Bay, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Hatch isn't expected to be added to the 28-man active roster unless the Blue Jays need lose a pitcher to an injury or need someone to eat innings out of the bullpen, but his inclusion on the taxi squad is an indication nonetheless that he's moved past the hamstring issue he picked up his last appearance with the big club Sept. 11 in Baltimore. The Blue Jays optioned Hatch to Triple-A Buffalo a day later, but he didn't make an appearance for the affiliate before joining the taxi squad.
