The Phillies placed Romano on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to right middle finger inflammation.

It's unclear when the finger issue first surfaced for Romano, who surrendered 10 earned run in his past four outings. After inking a one-year, $8.5 million contract with the Phillies in December, the veteran right-hander has put up a disastrous campaign with an 8.23 ERA in 49 appearances.

The Phillies recalled Robert from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

The right-hander was sent to Lehigh Valley after coming off the injured list in mid-August but is now back with the MLB club. Robert has made 12 appearances for Philly this year and has a 5.79 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 12:8 K:BB across 9.1 innings.

The Phillies released Ross on Tuesday.

Ross surrendered three runs in in his one-inning relief appearance in Monday's 13-3 loss to the Mets, which apparently prompted the Phillies to re-evaluate his place in their bullpen. The veteran right-hander joined Philadelphia on a one-year, $4 million deal during the offseason and nothced a 5.12 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 39:18 K:BB over 51 innings in 2025.

The Astros placed Rooney on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to left elbow inflammation, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

He will be eligible to return Sept. 9, but given the nature of the injury, Rooney might need more time to make a full recovery. The lefty reliever has made one appearance for Houston this season, surrendering one run over 1.1 frames.

The Astros recalled Blubaugh from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Blubaugh has made one start and two relief appearances for the Astros this season, yielding 11 runs (six earned) with a 15:3 K:BB over 13 innings. He will pitch out of the bullpen.

The Red Sox recalled Moran from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Moran has permitted three runs with a 5:3 K:BB over four innings covering two relief outings for the Red Sox this season. He will give manager Alex Cora another lefty in the bullpen.

The Pirates recalled Moreta from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.

The right-hander will rejoin the big-league bullpen after spending the 15-day minimum in the minors after being demoted Aug. 11. Moreta has made five appearances for Pittsburgh this year and has given up two earned runs with a 7:1 K:BB over 4.2 innings.

The Red Sox will recall Moran from Triple-A Worcester prior to Tuesday's game in Baltimore, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

He'll take the roster spot vacated by Richard Fitts (biceps). Moran has made a couple relief appearances with the Red Sox this season, allowing three runs with a 5:3 K:BB over four innings. The lefty has often been used for multiple innings during his outings in the majors and minors this season, so he'll offer the bullpen some length.

The Orioles transferred Blewett (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The right-hander has been sidelined by elbow discomfort since July 13, and he now won't be eligible to be reinstated until mid-September. Blewett has pitched for three MLB clubs this season and has a combined 5.48 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 35:18 K:BB over 44.1 innings.

The Orioles designated Bowman for assignment Tuesday.

Bowman allowed two runs over 1.1 innings in his lone appearance during what was his fourth stint with the Orioles this season. He's accepted three previous outright assignments from Baltimore and could do so again.
