Weber was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

Weber was claimed off waivers by the Mariners on July 16, and he'll make his way to the majors Sunday. The right-hander delivered a scoreless frame in his lone appearance for the Brewers before being DFA'd. He also covered 5.2 innings during an outing with the Red Sox and surrendered 11 runs, including four homers.

Peralta (illness) threw a bullpen session at the Yankees' Double-A stadium in Somerset on Saturday, Mike Ashmore of PatriotsBaseball.com reports.

Peralta was one of several Yankees to test positive for COVID-19 in mid-July, and he is just beginning to work his way back into game shape. According to Julio Mosquera, manager of the Double-A Somerset Patriots, Peralta is "trying to get his feet back under him and make sure body responds the right way." The lefty reliever could go on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Fulmer (neck) will toss one inning for Triple-A Toledo on Sunday and is set to rejoin the Tigers on Monday in Minnesota, at which point he could be activated, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Fulmer has been out since June 27 but it sounds like his return is imminent. Once he joins the team Monday, he'll go through a full pregame workout before the medical staff makes a final decision. Even if he's not activated Monday, Fulmer should return early in the week assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks. Gregory Soto leads the Tigers with 11 saves, but Fulmer and his six saves should work back into the late-inning equation. The fact that he's a righty and Soto is a lefty could allow manager A.J. Hinch to mix and match in save situations depending on matchups.

Garcia recorded his 15th save of the season Saturday against the Padres after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, walking one and fanning one.

Garcia handled the ninth inning with a one-run lead and while he walked Trent Grisham to start his outing, he quickly closed things out by striking out Manny Machado and then inducing Wil Myers into a double play. This was Garcia's 15th save of the season and he has converted each of his last six save chances.

Hill (5-5) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Marlins after allowing two runs on three hits and a walk while fanning one across two-thirds of an inning.

Hill pitched the seventh inning but couldn't complete the entire frame, as he gave up runs that would be decisive for the outcome of the contest via two-run single from Jesus Aguilar. This outing ended Hill's run of six straight scoreless appearances, though he only covered 3.1 innings over that span.

Raley (undisclosed) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Sunday, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

The left-hander has been on the shelf since July 8, but he's cleared the health and safety protocols and is ready for game action. Raley made one rehab appearance with Triple-A Sugar Land last week to clear the way for his return.

Lamet (forearm) pitched one inning against live hitters Saturday, MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has been sidelined due to right forearm inflammation since June 26, so Saturday's throwing session represents a tangible step toward a return. Lamet mixed both fastballs and sliders into his simulated inning of work and indicated that he felt good after throwing. According to manager Jayce Tingler, it is unclear where Lamet goes from here. "I don't know what exactly that the next step will be," said Tingler. "If we decide to go on a rehab assignment, or if we do one more [facing live hitters], what exactly that looks like. We wanted to kind of see how this one went, and it went really well."

The Cubs are optioning Megill to Triple-A Iowa to make room on the roster for David Bote (shoulder), who is returning from the injured list Sunday.

Megill has been shuttling between Triple-A and the majors recently, as he was sent to Iowa in late June, recalled Thursday and is now getting sent back down a few days later. The righty has logged 4.2 innings for the Cubs this year, recording an 11.57 ERA. Megill could very well return to the big club at some point, though his fantasy value will be fairly limited in a low-leverage role.

Weathers did not factor in the decision against Miami on Saturday, hurling four scoreless innings during which he allowed two hits and three walks while striking out four. He also hit a solo home run in his only at-bat.

The left-hander returned to the mound after spending nearly two weeks on the shelf with an ankle injury. He had some control issues -- Weathers walked three and threw only 42 of 73 pitches for strikes -- but managed to keep the Marlins off the scoreboard across four innings. He helped his own cause with a third-inning solo shot -- the first long ball of his career. Weathers figures to stick in the rotation now that he is back to full health and is currently slated to make his next start at home against Colorado late next week.

Hill (wrist) was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

Hill made 10 appearances during his rehab assignment with Columbus, notching an ugly 12.96 ERA and 2.72 WHIP across 8.1 innings. Given the poor performance, it's understandable he'll spend more time in the minors as he continues to work his way back from offseason wrist surgery. Cleveland has yet to announce a corresponding 40-man roster move.
