MLB Player News

Wilson (3-7) dealt with hamstring cramps during Saturday's start against the Marlins and left after five innings, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports. He picked up the win after allowing two runs on four hits with three strikeouts and a walk.

Wilson apparently felt the cramping on every pitch during the fifth frame, which is when Miami tallied both its runs off him via a two-run homer from Nick Fortes. The right-hander pitched well even with the injury, as he threw 48 of his 68 pitches for strikes. Wilson downplayed the issue after the contest, so he may be able to make his next turn through the rotation.

Kranick will be added to the major-league roster to start Sunday against the Marlins, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

The right-hander has been with the Pirates over the past few days as a member of the taxi squad, and he'll officially rejoin the big-league roster to start Sunday's series finale. Kranick has a 7.66 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB across 24.2 innings this season, and it's unclear whether or not he'll remain in the rotation for the final two weeks of the campaign.

Criswell was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Criswell made his MLB debut in late August but was demoted after giving up three runs on six hits over 1.1 innings. The right-hander started in that outing but figures to work out of the bullpen this time around.

Long was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Long was promoted from Triple-A on Thursday and will return there after delivering 1.1 scoreless frames in his lone appearances. Alex Wood (illness) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Jansen struck out the only batter he faced and recorded his 34th save in the Dodgers' 5-1 win over the Reds on Saturday.

Jansen inherited a two-on, two-out situation Saturday and got Eugenio Suarez swinging to secure the victory for the Dodgers. The right-hander has now gone 14 appearances and 13.1 innings without allowing an earned run and has a K:BB of 16:3 over that span.

Moll was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Moll will take the roster spot left vacant by Daulton Jefferies, who landed on the injured list with an elbow issue. Jefferies had been scheduled to start Saturday against the Angels, so Moll could potentially be involved right away if Oakland elects to go with a bullpen game.

Solomon was recalled by the Astros on Saturday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Solomon has thrown three scoreless innings at the major-league level this season, the last of which came back in early July. He owns a 4.70 ERA in 97.2 innings for Triple-A Sugar Land. Brandon Bielak was optioned to clear space for Solomon on the roster.

Frias was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Frias was promoted from Double-A Amarillo to Triple-A Reno on Aug. 16. Since, he's posted a 5.82 ERA and 1.75 WHIP while walking 16 hitters across 21.1 frames and five starts with Reno. While it's unclear when Frias will first take a major-league mound, it's likely that he'll draw a start in the coming days.

Krehbiel's contract was selected by the Rays on Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Krehbiel made a pair of major-league appearances for the Diamondbacks in 2018 but has been in the minors ever since. He owns a 4.19 ERA in 43 innings for Triple-A Durham this season. He'll fill the roster spot left vacant by Kevin Kiermaier, who was placed on the COVID-19 injured list.

Flores was designated for assignment Saturday.

Flores was claimed off waivers by the Rockies in late June. However, he's managed to pitch only 2.1 innings at Triple-A Albuquerque after spending two months on the injured list.
