The Tigers recalled Horn from Triple-A Toledo to serve as their 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals.

Horn is expected to be returned to Toledo immediately following the second game of the doubleheader. The lefty reliever previously made his lone relief appearance of the season for Detroit back on April 22 against the Padres, striking out two and allowing one hit over 1.1 scoreless innings.

The Mets appointed Warren from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as their 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Brewers. He'll be available for the second game of the twin bill.

Warren has been recalled from the minors for the fourth time this season but is expected to be in line for another abbreviated stay with the big club. He's made just two appearances out of the New York bullpen, tossing 3.1 scoreless innings while striking out three batters.

The Phillies recalled Johnson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Johnson will serve as the 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Padres. He has made one relief appearance with the big club this season, allowing one run over two innings. Johnson is likely to be sent back to Lehigh Valley following the twin bill.

Eisert will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The Dodgers' lineup typically features two left-handed hitters (Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman) in the top four spots in the order, so the White Sox will likely have the left-handed Eisert work the opening frame or two before exiting the contest. Right-hander Sean Burke is slated to work in bulk relief behind Eisert.

Bednar gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his 12th save of the season in a 1-0 win over the Cardinals.

The veteran closer wrapped up a combined shutout begun by Paul Skenes, but Bednar needed 20 pitches (12 strikes) to get the job done. His control is beginning to waver again, as he sports a 9:4 K:BB over his last six innings, but Bednar hasn't allowed an earned run since May 23 as he continues a remarkable turnaround from a rough 2024 and a demotion to Triple-A Indianapolis early in 2025. He needs four more saves to become the sixth pitcher in history to collect 100 in a Pirates uniform, but with the trade deadline looming, it's possible he gets dealt away before he reaches that milestone.

Hader picked up the save Tuesday against the Rockies. He allowed one run on two hits while striking out two over one inning.

The southpaw surrendered a solo shot to Hunter Goodman but still closed out his league-leading 24th save of the season Tuesday. Hader has been dominant in 2025, converting every save opportunity and notching six straight saves in his last six outings. On the year, the veteran closer owns a stellar 1.86 ERA and 0.72 WHIP through 38.2 innings across 37 appearances.

Miller earned the save Tuesday against the Rays, allowing a walk and no hits while striking out two in a scoreless frame.

Miller had another dominant outing to pick up his second save in as many days against the Rays. He opened with a 102-mph fastball to punch out Brandon Lowe and ended the game with back-to-back sliders to retire Josh Lowe. Miller has now converted three straight saves and has four consecutive scoreless outings since his last blown save June 19.

Palencia picked up the save in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Guardians. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out two over a perfect inning.

Palencia quietly set the Guardians down in order Tuesday to notch his ninth save of the season. The right-hander has emerged as the Cubs' most dependable closing option this season, posting a 1.80 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB across 30 innings in 28 appearances. Backed by a 99.5 mph fastball and sharper command than in years past, Palencia has delivered a standout first half.

Rodriguez (forearm) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Rodriguez has been on the injured list since June 11 but appears to be nearing a return. The bullpen session reportedly went well, and he is expected to head on a rehab assignment shortly.

Fairbanks struck out two across a scoreless ninth inning without allowing a baserunner Tuesday against the Athletics.

Fairbanks took his second loss of the season in Monday's outing against the Athletics, but he immediately got the chance to bounce back. He was sharp and managed to redeem himself, though he has allowed multiple earned runs in two of his last seven appearances. Fairbanks allowed multiple runs only twice in his first 27 outings to begin the campaign.
