Heasley signed a minor-league contract with the Royals on Tuesday.

Heasley has been a free agent since the White Sox released him at the end of March and hasn't pitched in a game at any level this season. The 28-year-old righty owns a 5.89 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP through 139 career innings in the majors and will likely serve as organizational depth while pitching for Triple-A Omaha.

Montero allowed two runs on two hits and a walk across an inning of relief in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Twins.

Montero, who was traded to Detroit from Atlanta before last Thursday's deadline, was making his first appearance in exactly a week. Perhaps as a result of some rust, the veteran righty wasn't particularly sharp in his team debut, and his season ERA climbed to 5.72. Montero can miss some bats, as he has 39 strikeouts in 39.1 innings this year, though he's too volatile at this point to see high-leverage work with the Tigers, which minimizes his fantasy appeal.

The Padres recalled Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

JP Sears was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday in a corresponding move. Reynolds made three appearances with Triple-A El Paso after being optioned June 30. He allowed no runs with a 4:2 K:BB across 2.2 innings, and he also earned a save in his last game Aug. 2.

Jimenez has been shut down from throwing after feeling soreness in his surgically repaired left knee, Grant McAuley of the Marietta Daily Journal reports.

Jimenez began throwing off a mound a little over a month ago and had appeared close to a rehab assignment, but now his timetable is up in the air. The reliever has been sidelined all season after undergoing surgery last November to repair damaged cartilage in his left knee.

The White Sox recalled Hudson from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Hudson was claimed off waivers from the Brewers on Sunday and will join the big-league roster before making an appearance with Charlotte. The big lefty was a standout in the Milwaukee bullpen in 2024, but he has a 4.35 ERA and 13:12 K:BB over 10.1 innings in the majors and a 6.84 ERA at the Triple-A level in 2025.

The Pirates selected Sanders' contract from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

The right-hander will receive his first taste of the majors after making a mechanical adjustment in the minors earlier this season. Sanders has dominated at both the Double-A and Triple-A levels this season with a 1.91 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 51:20 K:BB across 42.1 innings.

He's clearing out to make room for Bryan Hudson, who will join the active roster after being claimed off waivers Sunday. White had been recalled over the weekend but did not make an appearance.

The Cubs recalled Pearson from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Mike McGraw of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.

The right-hander has made just one appearance with the Cubs since late April, but he's back in the big leagues Tuesday with Michael Soroka (shoulder) heading to the injured list. Pearson has struggled in his nine big-league outings this year with a 12.66 ERA, 2.53 WHIP and 6:9 K:BB over 10.2 innings.

Minnesota designated McCaughan for assignment Tuesday.

The right-hander joined the big club Monday but will lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters just a day later. McCaughan made three appearances for the Twins early in the season and allowed one earned run with a 6:1 K:BB over 5.1 innings, but he's struggled to a 5.35 ERA in 17 outings (10 starts) with Triple-A St. Paul.

The Twins claimed Kriske off waivers Tuesday.

The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Cubs over the weekend, and the Twins claimed him in order to round out their bullpen coming out of the trade deadline. Kriske delivered six scoreless frames with a 4:5 K:BB with Chicago and has a 3.13 ERA at the Triple-A level this season.
