The Guardians recalled Herrin from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

The addition of Herrin gives Cleveland a third left-handed option in the bullpen along with Erik Sabrowski and Kolby Allard. Over 39 appearances with the big club this season, Herrin owns a 4.06 ERA and 1.55 WHIP and has collected four wins and 11 holds in 31 innings.

The Rangers placed Gray on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right shoulder nerve irritation.

Gray will continue to occupy a spot on the Rangers' 40-man roster upon clearing outright waivers Saturday, after no other team was willing to take on the approximately $3.1 million remaining on his $13 million salary for 2025. The right-hander ended up making a 2.1-inning mop-up appearance in Saturday's 14-2 loss to the Blue Jays and may have been pitching through the shoulder issue during the outing. According to Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, manager Bruce Bochy said that Gray is dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome, which often necessitates a multi-month absence and is likely to end his season. Texas recalled right-hander Caleb Boushley from Triple-A Round Rock to replace Gray in the bullpen.

The Rangers recalled Boushley from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Boushley will provide a multi-inning relief option in place of Jon Gray (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his previous big-league stints this season, Boushley made 19 appearances and turned in a 5.05 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over 35.2 innings.

The Twins selected Cabrera's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Cabrera will be up in the majors with his fourth different team of the season following stints with the Mets, Cubs and Pirates. Over 24 appearances in the big leagues in 2025, Cabrera has posted a 5.79 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 28 innings. He'll likely have to settle for a low-leverage role in the Minnesota bullpen.

The Twins optioned Adams to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

Adams has struggled since he was called up at the start of August, logging a 7.36 ERA and 12:9 K:BB over 11 innings. The right-hander has made two starts among his eight appearances in the majors this season and could join the rotation as he heads back to St. Paul.

The Reds recalled Phillips from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Phillips received a brief look with the Reds in late June and will now get another chance in the majors. The right-hander kept the opposition off the board in three of his four relief appearances for Cincinnati but surrendered four earned runs in the other outing and has a 4:4 K:BB overall in five innings.

The Reds optioned La Sorsa to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

The left-hander will head to the minors after he took the loss Saturday against the Brewers after giving up three runs (two earned) in the 11th inning. Connor Phillips was called up from Louisville to take La Sorsa's spot in the bullpen.

Henriquez tied a Dodgers franchise record for the pitch-tracking era by throwing a 103.3 mph fastball against the Padres on Saturday. He tossed 1.1 scoreless innings in the victory, allowing one hit and issuing one walk while striking out two batters.

The right-hander has always been known as a flamethrower, but he reached a new level against San Diego. The impressive velocity is not an isolated incident though, as Henriquez is averaging 101.3 mph on his fastball in the majors this year. Somewhat surprisingly, that's led to a modest four punchouts over six innings, but he's been very effective in that small sample, as he's yet to give up a run while surrendering just three hits and one walk. Los Angeles will probably need to see more to move Henriquez into a high-leverage role however, as he's posted a far less impressive 6.85 ERA and 1.90 WHIP over 23.2 frames with Triple-A Oklahoma City this season.

The Phillies reinstated Robert (finger) from the 15-day injured list Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

The 30-year-old right-hander had posted a 5.79 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 12 innings out of the bullpen this season before being placed on the IL on Aug. 1 due to a blister on his right middle finger. He's healthy now but will remain with Lehigh Valley, where he had been on a rehab assignment.

Lynch (5-2) earned the win Saturday against the White Sox. He allowed a hit and no walks with no strikeouts over two scoreless innings.

The southpaw came on in relief after Michael Lorenzen worked four innings in his return from the IL. Since returning from the injured list himself with an elbow injury Aug. 3, Lynch has posted a 3.48 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across six appearances, picking up two wins over 10.1 innings.
