The White Sox selected Taylor's contract from Double-A Birmingham on Tuesday.

The move was first reported Monday and has now been made official. Taylor had spun 9.1 scoreless innings with an 18:1 K:BB over his last nine appearances after being shifted to the bullpen at Birmingham. The 23-year-old has the look of a future closer, and the ninth inning for the White Sox is wide open. However, Taylor is likely to be eased into high-leverage spots.

Rodriguez (1-0) was charged with his first blown save of the season but recorded the win in Monday's extra-inning victory against the Cardinals, giving up two runs on two hits in 1.1 innings. He struck out two.

He entered the game in the eighth inning with the bases loaded to protect a 3-0 lead, but Rodriguez promptly gave up an RBI single to Willson Contreras before serving up a three-run blast to Ivan Herrera. The right-hander stuck around to work a scoreless inning after the Jays tied it in the ninth, and was the pitcher to record when they pushed across the winning run in the 10th. It's the first time Rodriguez has been tagged with an earned run since May 4, and the first time he's been taken deep since April 30, a stingy stretch that has him sporting a 3.06 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB through 32.1 innings on the season with eight holds.

The Reds recalled La Sorsa from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

La Sorsa has made one appearance with the Reds this season, tossing a scoreless frame. He will give manager Terry Francona another left-handed relief option while Brent Suter is on the bereavement list.

The Reds placed Suter on the bereavement list Tuesday.

By rule, Suter will miss the next 3-to-7 games. He's been replaced on the roster and in the bullpen by Joe La Sorsa.

The Nationals claimed Loutos off waivers from the Dodgers and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Loutos had been designated for assignment by the Dodgers after yielding five runs in three innings covering two appearances. He will provide relief depth in the minors.

Iglesias struck out two in a perfect eighth inning during Monday's 7-1 win over the Brewers.

The right-hander entered the game to protect a four-run lead, with Atlanta adding on some insurance in the top of the ninth. Iglesias has a 7.07 ERA since the beginning of May and hasn't successfully converted a save since May 16, but with no one else in the bullpen having yet taken advantage of the opportunity to lay claim to the closer role, he may only need a few sharp appearances in a row to re-establish himself as the top option for manager Brian Snitker.

The Diamondbacks will recall Jarvis from Triple-A Reno prior to Tuesday's game versus the Mariners, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Jarvis will provide a fresh bullpen arm following Monday's extra-innings victory over Seattle. The right-hander has made six relief appearances for Arizona in 2025, yielding six runs with a 9:3 K:BB across 7.1 frames.

The Diamondbacks will option Brigham to Triple-A Reno prior to Tuesday's contest against the Mariners, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Brigham gave up three runs without recording an out in Monday's game. He will be replaced on the roster and in the bullpen by Bryce Jarvis, who is getting called up from Triple-A.

The Rays recalled Englert from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

He's taking the roster spot vacated by Ian Seymour, who was sent back to Durham after throwing two relief innings in his major-league debut Monday in Boston. Englert has been touched up for 13 runs (12 earned) over 18 innings during his time with the Rays this season, although that has come with an 18:4 K:BB.

Spence is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Angels in Anaheim.

After making his first 22 appearances of the season out of the bullpen, Spence moved into the rotation last week and came through with an impressive outing in Thursday's win over the Twins. He allowed a solo home run to Matt Wallner but otherwise kept the Twins off the board through five innings, striking out four while scattering three hits and one walk. Spence will be awarded another start for his efforts, and a strong showing versus the Angels could be enough to solidify his spot in the rotation on a longer-term basis.
