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

McDermott had been unscored upon in 11 of his last 13 appearances at Norfolk after being moved to the bullpen in late July. The 27-year-old holds a 7.71 ERA in two starts and one relief appearance during his time in the big leagues.

The Blue Jays selected Yesavage's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Yesavage is set to make his major-league debut Monday with a start on the road against the Rays. The 22-year-old had pitched out of the bullpen in two of his last three appearances with Buffalo, so while he's being used as a starter Monday, he could be in line for a relatively abbreviated outing. Yesavage has posted a 3.12 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 160:41 K:BB in 98 innings across his four minor-league stops in 2025.

White Sox director of player development Paul Janish said Monday that Schultz is dealing with right patellar tendinitis in his knee but will not require surgery, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Schultz had already been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a knee problem that first cropped up in July. He wound up making only five starts for Triple-A Charlotte after being promoted to the affiliate in late June and posted a 9.37 ERA in those outings. Schultz is just 22 years old and has some of the highest upside of any pitching prospect in baseball, but he has yet to reach 90 innings in a season.

Pecko has a 1.88 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB in 24 innings over his last five starts for Triple-A Sugar Land.

A 6-foot-2 righty whom the Astros selected in the sixth round of the 2023 First-Year Player Draft out of a small college, Pecko's stock has steadily increased in pro ball. He has impressively navigated the harsh conditions of the Pacific Coast League after a couple rough outings following his Aug. 5 promotion from Double-A Corpus Christi. Pecko has been particularly sharp of late, striking out 17 batters in 11 innings over his last two starts for the Space Cowboys. He averages 94 mph on his sinker (touches 96 mph), but it plays above its velocity due to excellent late movement. His 83-mph slider and 89-mph cutter are his top two secondary offerings. Pecko has a chance to spend a good chunk of next season in the big-league rotation if he picks up where he's leaving off in 2025.

The Red Sox could use Tolle in a bulk-relief role over the final two weeks of the regular season, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Tolle made an abbreviated start last week versus the Athletics, allowing two runs over two innings. Lucas Giolito and Brayan Bello have both been moved up ahead of Tolle to start Wednesday and Thursday against the Athletics, respectively, on regular rest. While Tolle could conceivably receive another start this weekend versus the Rays, a more likelier scenario is that both he and Kyle Harrison serve as multi-inning relievers or work as a tandem when the fifth spot in the rotation comes up. Tolle struck out eight and yielded just two runs over 5.1 frames in his major-league debut Aug. 29, but he's permitted seven runs with a 4:4 K:BB across five innings in two outings since then.

Early will start Tuesday's game against the Athletics at Fenway Park, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Early was an obvious choice to remain in Boston's rotation after he struck out 11 over five scoreless frames versus the Athletics in his major-league debut last week. However, the team hadn't confirmed another start for the rookie southpaw until Monday. Following his rematch with the Athletics in Boston after his previous outing came in Sacramento, Early tentatively lines up for another start Sunday on the road versus the Rays.

The Rays recalled Boyle from Triple-A Durham, and he'll start Monday's game against the Blue Jays at Tampa Bay.

The right-hander was demoted in late August after allowing 16 runs (15 earned) over his final three starts for the Rays. Boyle collected a 2.08 ERA with 18 strikeouts in 13 innings in three starts this month with Durham, but he also issued 10 walks during that time. He's not a recommended streaming option Monday in what could just be a spot start.

Means (elbow) allowed six earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings in a rehab start for Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

Means navigated minimal traffic over two scoreless innings to begin the game but ran into trouble in the third, when he allowed two solo home runs. His struggles continued into the fourth inning, when he walked the bases loaded before giving up a two-run double. Means then balked in the go-ahead run. The left-hander is now six starts into his rehab assignment, and he's yet to find much success since shifting his assignment to Triple-A in late August, producing a 9.00 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 11:10 K:BB in 15 innings over four outings with Columbus. While Means has built his pitch count up to 82 and appears to be ready from a workload standpoint to take on a traditional starting role, his poor form at Triple-A could make the Guardians reluctant to activate him from the 60-day injured list during the upcoming week. The Guardians will have a stretch of six games in five days due to a doubleheader Saturday in Minnesota, but since the team is already running with a six-man rotation, Means may not be called upon to make a spot start for the big club.

Morales (4-1) earned the win over the Reds on Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over five innings.

Morales got off to a shaky start, surrendering a solo homer to Noelvi Marte in the first and a two-run shot to Will Benson in the second. The right-hander managed to regroup from there, working around traffic in his final three frames -- including a bases-loaded jam in the fourth -- to keep Cincinnati from adding on. While it wasn't his sharpest outing, the 22-year-old did enough to secure his fourth win of the year. Morales will take a 3.08 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 34:14 K:BB through 38 innings into his next scheduled start against Pittsburgh, a favorable matchup given the Pirates' league-worst OPS since the beginning of September.

Houser didn't factor into the decision against the Cubs on Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings.

Houser yielded an early run in the first inning but settled in after that, blanking Chicago over the next four frames before surrendering a solo homer to Ian Happ in the sixth. The outing marked the right-hander's first quality start since July 25, snapping a rough seven-start stretch in which he posted a 4.93 ERA across 38.1 innings. Houser will look to build on Sunday's bright spots in his next projected start against the Red Sox next weekend.
