Atlanta designated Gonzalez for assignment Sunday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

He'll surrender his spot on the 40-man roster to waiver claim Connor Seabold. A 25-year-old right-hander, Gonzalez has yet to make his MLB debut and has spent the entire 2025 season at Triple-A Gwinnett, logging a 3.95 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB in 41 innings out of the bullpen.

Atlanta claimed Seabold off waivers from Tampa Bay on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Though he'll report to Triple-A, Seabold will provide Atlanta with organizational starting pitching depth as the big club navigates numerous injuries to its rotation. Seabold made a pair of multi-inning relief appearances for Tampa Bay but has primarily worked out of the rotation at Triple-A Durham this season, logging a 6.49 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 57:26 K:BB across 61 innings.

The White Sox recalled Peguero from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Claimed off waivers from Milwaukee last weekend, Peguero was optioned to Charlotte but will now move up to the majors after making just one Triple-A appearance. The 28-year-old righty previously made six appearances out of the Milwaukee bullpen this season, logging a 4.91 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over 7.1 innings.

The White Sox recalled Booser from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Chicago summoned Booser and Elvis Peguero from Charlotte to provide fresh bullpen arms in place of Bryan Hudson and Wikelman Gonzalez. Over 24.2 innings in the majors this season, Booser has posted a 5.11 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 27:14 K:BB.

The White Sox optioned Hudson to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Chicago will move Hudson and Wikelman Gonzalez off the roster and replace them with a pair of fresh bullpen arms in lefty Cam Booser and righty Elvis Peguero. After being claimed off waivers from the Brewers, Hudson made three appearances for Chicago and surrendered three earned runs on six hits and one walk over 3.2 innings.

The White Sox optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Chicago will move Gonzalez and Bryan Hudson off the roster and replace them with a pair of fresh bullpen arms in lefty Cam Booser and righty Elvis Peguero. After being called up Friday, Gonzalez worked in relief in the first two games of the series, tossing three scoreless frames.

The Phillies optioned Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Rangel will give up his spot in the bullpen to veteran right-hander David Robertson, whom the Phillies called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Over his five appearances this season, Rangel had notched a save and allowed three earned runs on 10 hits and six walks over 11 innings.

The Phillies recalled Robertson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Robertson agreed to a one-year deal with Philadelphia on July 20 and agreed to report to Triple-A as part of his ramp-up process. Over five outings with Lehigh Valley, the veteran righty allowed six earned runs on 11 hits over 5.1 frames, but he struck out three over 1.2 scoreless innings in his last two appearances. Trade-deadline acquisition Jhoan Duran is locked in as the team's new closer, but Robertson could find a spot as part of the bridge to the ninth inning.

Slaten (shoulder) is scheduled to throw bullpen sessions Monday and Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

The second of those bullpen sessions is expected to include an up-and-down. Following that, Slaten should be ready to face hitters, which would be the final step before going on a rehab assignment.

Montero tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Angels. He allowed a hit and struck out one.

After allowing two earned runs in an inning during his team debut Tuesday, Montero was better in his second outing since coming over at the trade deadline. The righty is still carrying a 5.49 ERA overall, making him hard to trust in any fantasy format given his middle relief role. Montero should continue to see medium-leverage work for the Tigers.
