Jansen was reinstated from the paternity list prior to Tuesday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 33-year-old had been away from the team since Sunday and will return to his role as the closer for the Dodgers. Since July 24, he has converted all 11 of his save opportunities while posting a 1.29 ERA and 11.1 K/9 over 21 innings. Mitch White was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in corresponding move.

Yang was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Yang served as added bullpen depth while the Rangers dealt with a COVID-19 outbreak but will head back to the minors as players start to return to the roster. He owns an unremarkable 5.60 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 35.1 major-league innings this season.

De Los Santos was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

De Los Santos was claimed off waivers from the Phillies on Monday, and he'll join Pittsburgh's active roster after David Bednar (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The right-hander made 26 relief appearances for Philadelphia this year and posted a 6.75 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 28 innings.

Bednar was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right oblique strain Tuesday.

Bednar was unavailable for Sunday's series finale against the Nationals due to a side issue, and he'll require a stint on the injured list after he was diagnosed with a right oblique strain. With just under three weeks remaining in the regular season, it's not clear whether he'll have enough time to return to game action in 2021. Chris Stratton will likely take over as Pittsburgh's closer while Bednar is sidelined.

Diaz was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Diaz made three relief appearances after he was called up in early September, but he'll head back to the minors after he gave up four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one in 1.1 innings against the Cardinals on Monday. He's made 12 outings in Albuquerque and has posted an 8.16 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in 14.1 innings.

Reed (forearm) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Reed landed on the 10-day injured list Aug. 20, but he'll rejoin the Mets' bullpen after missing just under a month. The 28-year-old has made two relief appearances since he was claimed off waivers by the Mets in early August, and he struck out five in four scoreless innings during that time.

Diplan was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk prior to Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Diplan was sent back to Norfolk after allowing two runs on two hits and two walks in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against Toronto. He'll return to the Orioles with Tanner Scott (knee) shifting to the IL, and he should have plenty of opportunities to pitch during the season's closing weeks.

Scott was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left knee sprain.

Scott last pitched Saturday, allowing six runs on six hits in just one-third of an inning against Toronto. He'll be eligible to come off the injured list Sept. 22 against Philadelphia, but per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, manager Brandon Hyde said the southpaw's season is probably over. If he is indeed done for the year, Scott will conclude the campaign with a 5.17 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 70:37 K:BB across 54 innings.

Lambert (elbow) will have his rehab transferred to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Lambert has been recovering since he underwent Tommy John surgery in July of 2020; his move to Albuquerque represents the final step in his rehab process. The 24-year-old has made six rehab appearances since mid-August and has recorded a 4.73 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 13.1 innings. Manager Bud Black is optimistic that Lambert will rejoin the Rockies prior to the end of the regular season, but it's not yet clear whether the right-hander will be built up to a starter's workload.

Sewald recorded his 12th hold in a win over the Red Sox on Monday despite allowing two earned runs on two hits over an inning during which he also recorded two strikeouts.

Sewald encountered trouble for the third straight appearance after opening the frame with consecutive strikeouts of Enrique Hernandez and Kyle Schwarber. Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers subsequently tagged him for back-to-back solo home runs to bring the Red Sox within a run before Sewald escaped by retiring J.D. Martinez. The hard-throwing right-hander boasted a 2.39 ERA and 0.98 WHIP as recently as Sept. 5, but a three-appearance stretch where he's given up five earned runs over three innings has bumped those figures up to 3.12 and 1.02, respectively.
