The Rangers optioned Winn to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

The right-hander surrendered four runs (three earned) in his last two outings and will lose his place on the big-league roster. Winn had held his opponents scoreless prior to that and has a 1.59 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB across 17 big-league innings this year, so he should be back with the Rangers before too long.

The Rangers recalled Dunning from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

The right-hander was optioned to Round Rock on Friday but will make a quick return to the majors with Evan Carter (personal) being placed on the bereavement list. Dunning has made just two appearances with the Rangers this season and has a 4.47 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 49:18 K:BB across 46.1 innings at Triple-A.

The Pirates traded Stratton to Atlanta on Tuesday in exchange for outfielder Titus Dumitru and cash.

Stratton will report to Triple-A Gwinnett to begin his tenure with his new organization, though he will claim a spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster. The 28-year-old righty was DFA'd by Pittsburgh on Thursday after giving up seven earned runs in 2.2 innings with the big club, and he'll likely need to show improvement in the minors before getting a chance in Atlanta. Chris Sale (ribs) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

The Reds signed Farmer to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Farmer will report to the Arizona Complex League for now before eventually moving up to Triple-A Louisville, assuming all goes well. The veteran reliever has spent all of the 2025 season in the minors, posting an 8.64 ERA and 18:11 K:BB over 16.2 frames. Farmer was one of the Reds' most dependable relievers from 2022-2024, posting a 3.68 ERA and 194:83 K:BB across 193 innings.

The Reds recalled Moll from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Moll has made just three appearances in the majors this season, allowing four runs over two innings. He has put together four consecutive scoreless outings with Louisville and will now give manager Terry Francona a left-handed bullpen option.

The Reds optioned Phillips to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Phillips pitched two relief innings in Monday's game against the Red Sox, allowing four runs in the outing. Since he would have been unavailable for a day or two, the Reds will supplement their bullpen with a fresh arm.

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

La Sorsa's latest stint in the big leagues lasted just one day, and he allowed two runs over 2.2 innings in a relief appearance in Boston. The Reds are replacing him with a fresh bullpen arm.

The Brewers recalled McGee from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

McGee has made two appearances for the Brewers this season, yielding one run with a 4:1 K:BB over four innings. He'll give manager Pat Murphy a fresh bullpen arm.

The Brewers placed Zastryzny on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a ribs stress reaction, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The injury will cost Zastryzny at least the next couple weeks of action. Easton McGee has taken his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Loaisiga (illness) made relief appearances in Sunday's 12-5 win over the Athletics and Monday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays, striking out two and allowing two hits and no walks over 2.1 scoreless innings.

Loaisiga departed his previous appearance back on June 24 against the Reds due to an illness, but he was out of commission for only a few days before returning to action. The veteran reliever owns a 3.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB and has collected four holds over 19 innings with the Yankees this season.
