Hudson (elbow) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Jim Hayes of Bally Sports Midwest reports.

Hudson has already made four rehab starts in the minors, and he allowed one run on two hits with three strikeouts and two walks over five innings during his last outing Sunday. The 26-year-old is expected to fill a relief role upon his activation from the injured list, but he clearly stretched out as a starter during the rehab stint and could be in the mix for a spot start down the stretch, especially with a doubleheader against the Cubs scheduled for Sept. 24.

Yang cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

Yang was cast off the 40-man roster Wednesday, but he'll remain in Round Rock after he went unclaimed on waivers. The southpaw has made 10 appearances (nine starts) at the Triple-A level this year and has recorded a 5.60 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 45 innings.

Patino will start Friday's game against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Patino was initially slated to start Saturday, but he'll be pushed up a day. However, the right-hander will still be pitching on normal rest since he last pitched Sunday versus the Tigers, when he gave up two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three in 4.1 innings.

Jimenez (illness) has reported to Triple-A Toledo to resume working out, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Jimenez tested positive for COVID-19 in early September, but he'll now begin building back up with the minor-league club. The right-hander will require at least one rehab appearance before he's activated, but it's not yet clear when he'll pitch for Toledo.

Loaisiga (shoulder) is expected to resume throwing Friday, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

Loaisiga landed on the 10-day injured list with a strained rotator cuff Sept. 5, and he'll resume playing catch just under two weeks later. The right-hander doesn't yet have a clear timetable to return, but his status should come into focus once he's able to ramp up his throwing.

Lopez (ankle) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Lopez's move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural after the Orioles announced last week that the right-hander has been shut down and won't return in 2021 due to a sprained ankle. Right-hander Brooks Kriske was claimed off waivers from the Yankees and optioned to Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.

Mayers (5-5) earned the win over the White Sox on Wednesday, striking out the side in his lone inning of work.

The right-hander took over in the seventh inning with the score tied 2-2. He needed 16 pitches to strike out all three batters he faced, and he picked up the win as a result of Brandon Marsh's homer in the top of the following frame. Mayers has struck out 82 batters in 66.1 innings this season while notching a career-high 15 holds and two saves.

Long was recalled by the Giants on Thursday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Long has made five starts and six relief appearances at the big-league level this season, posting an unimpressive 5.72 ERA. He'll likely serve as a low-leverage relief option for now. Jay Jackson was optioned to open a spot for Long's return.

Jackson was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Jackson was called up Friday, and he made two appearances during his time with the major-league club. The right-hander allowed two hits and a walk in three scoreless innings, but he'll head back to the minors after left-hander Sammy Long was recalled Thursday.

Peralta (5-3) took the win over Baltimore on Wednesday, allowing one hit and retiring one batter via strikeout.

Peralta came into the contest with two outs in the eighth inning and the Yankees down by a run. He allowed a single to Anthony Santander but finished the frame by striking out Ramon Urias. The southpaw was credited with the win as a result of New York rallying for two runs in the top of the ninth. Peralta has struck out five batters in his last 3.2 frames but has also walked five over that stretch.
