Bukauskas was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Bukauskas spent a week and a half in the minors and struck out three in 1.2 scoreless innings across two appearances at Triple-A Reno. He should serve as middle-relief help in the big leagues.

Abreu was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Abreu was tagged for six runs without recording an out Thursday against the Rays and will return to the minors. It was by far the worst performance in the majors this year for the 25-year-old, who had previously given up only three earned runs in 14.1 innings.

Snead was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

Snead made his first two big-league appearances in the last two days, throwing 1.2 scoreless innings while striking out three and allowing two hits. Brad Hand, acquired from the Nationals on Thursday, was added to the roster in a corresponding move.

Nittoli was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Nittoli has made just a single career big-league appearance, allowing two runs in a single inning of work back in late June. Unsurprisingly the 30-year-old went unclaimed on waivers, so he'll remain in an organizational depth role.

Mills was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Mills appeared in eight games for the Mariners in May and didn't look particularly good, allowing 10 runs in 8.1 innings of work. He's been far better in 24.2 frames for Triple-A Tacoma, cruising to a 2.92 ERA and 0.91 WHIP.

Santillan was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The right-hander covered 3.2 scoreless frames in his past three outings, but he'll head back to Triple-A with Michael Lorenzen (hamstring) returning from the injured list. Santillan will continue working as a reliever with Louisville and could rejoin Cincinnati's bullpen down the stretch.

Robles (illness) was acquired by Boston from Minnesota in exchange for Alex Scherff on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Robles hasn't pitched since Tuesday, when he surrendered four runs before exiting with dizziness and lightheadedness, but he's apparently healthy enough to pass a physical. The 30-year-old was in the closer's mix with the Twins but is unlikely to see those chances for the Red Sox with a 4.91 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 43:24 K:BB in 45 appearances this year.

Wilson was sent from Atlanta to Pittsburgh along with Ricky DeVito on Friday, with Richard Rodriguez going the other way, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Wilson broke into the majors as a 20-year-old back in 2018 but has thus far shown very little at the big-league level, struggling to a 5.90 ERA in 76.1 innings. At age 23, he still has plenty of time to improve, but he has a lot of work to do just to look like a passable back-end starter. He's at least found himself with an organization that has little reason not to give him the opportunity to prove himself, however.

Lamet (forearm) threw a simulated inning Thursday and could return to game action soon, per MLB.com.

The right-hander appears to have gotten through the sim inning without issue, and Padres manager Jayce Tingler later stated that "it's very realistic" that his next trip to the mound will come in game action. That's likely to take place as part of a minor-league rehab assignment since the hurler hasn't pitched in over a month. Lamet is expected to fill a bullpen role upon his return to the big club.

Curtiss was traded from the Marlins to the Brewers on Friday in exchange for Payton Henry, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

The 28-year-old righty reliever had been excellent for Miami this season, logging a 2.48 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 40 innings. He should work in mid-leverage spots down the stretch for the Brewers.
