  • Diamondbacks' Anthony DeSclafani: Booted off 40-man roster

    The Diamondbacks designated DeSclafani for assignment Monday.

    DeSclafani made two appearances after returning from a thumb injury, giving up five home runs and six runs in total over 5.2 innings. His spot on the active roster and in the bullpen is being absorbed by Juan Morillo.

  • Grant Taylor RP | CHW

    White Sox's Grant Taylor: Throws bullpen session

    Taylor (groin) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Monday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Taylor had to be removed from an outing last Wednesday due to a right groin strain and hasn't made an appearance since. The White Sox will see how the reliever rebounds Tuesday before determining when he might be available to pitch again.

  • Orioles' Carson Ragsdale: DFA'd by Orioles

    The Orioles designated Ragsdale for assignment Monday.

    Ragsdale was torched for eight runs over three innings in his major-league debut during Sunday's loss to Toronto and now finds himself off the 40-man roster a day later. It's the second time during the second half that he's been designated for assignment, as he was traded from the Giants to the Orioles in late July after San Francisco booted him from its 40-man roster.

  • Albert Suarez SP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Shelved with sore elbow

    The Orioles placed Suarez on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow discomfort.

    Suarez pitched well in an abbreviated start during Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays, striking out five over three innings of one-run ball. However, he came out of it with a sore pitching elbow, which will sideline him for the remainder of the season. Suarez had previously missed most of the season with a right shoulder strain. He will undergo an MRI on his elbow Monday night to determine the severity of the injury, per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com.

  • Jose Castillo RP | BAL

    Orioles' Jose Castillo: Claimed by Baltimore

    The Orioles claimed Castillo off waivers from the Mariners on Monday.

    Castillo will join his third different team this month after previous stints with the Mets and Mariners. The lefty has posted a 4.38 ERA and 23:11 K:BB over 24.2 frames this season in the majors.

  • Orioles' Yaramil Hiraldo: Back up with big club

    The Orioles recalled Hiraldo from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

    Hiraldo has posted a 5.65 ERA and 12:6 K:BB over 14.1 frames during his time with the big club this season. He will give the Orioles a fresh bullpen arm.

  • Ryan Borucki RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Ryan Borucki: Loses 40-man roster spot

    The Blue Jays designated Borucki for assignment Monday.

    Borucki made four scoreless relief appearances during his time with the Blue Jays this month, but it wasn't enough to retain his roster spot. The lefty will likely clear waivers, and if he does, he would have the ability to elect free agency.

  • Tyler Gilbert RP | CHW

    White Sox's Tyler Gilbert: Serving as opener Monday

    Gilbert will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher in Monday's game against the Orioles.

    Gilbert will draw his fourth opener assignment this season after he yielded one run with a 6:2 K:BB over four innings in his first three outings as a starter. Sean Burke is likely to follow Gilbert in a bulk-relief role.

  • Jake Eder SP | WAS

    Nationals' Jake Eder: Activated, sent to Double-A

    Triple-A Rochester reinstated Eder (undisclosed) from its 7-day injured list Wednesday and assigned him to Double-A Harrisburg.

    Eder made his organizational debut later that day, striking out a batter and allowing one hit and no walks over two scoreless innings. The 26-year-old lefty occupies a spot on the Nationals' 40-man roster, but he may not get a look with the big club over the final two weeks of the season unless the Washington pitching staff is decimated by injuries.

  • Jason Adam RP | SD

    Padres' Jason Adam: Out at least six months post-surgery

    Adam is expected to face a recovery timeline of 6-to-9 months after he underwent surgery Sept. 3 to address a ruptured left quadriceps tendon, MLB.com reports.

    Adam sustained the season-ending injury during his relief appearance against the Orioles on Sept. 1, when he felt the quad pop while he tried to make a defensive play. Though his surgery seems to have gone off without a hitch, Adam's estimated recovery timeline suggests that he won't be ready to go for the start of spring training in February, and his availability for Opening Day could also be in question. The 34-year-old right-hander, who is under club control through 2026, was a first-time All-Star this season and accrued a 1.93 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 70:25 K:BB to go with eight wins and 30 holds over 65.1 innings before rupturing his quad.
