The Red Sox reinstated Rivera (personal) from the restricted list Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Rivera went on the restricted list Monday to deal with a personal matter, and although he is no longer on the restricted list, he remains inactive at Triple-A Worcester due to an undisclosed injury.

Woo (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Woo was removed from his most recent start last Sunday against the Astros after experiencing soreness in his right shoulder. The Mariners skipped Woo's subsequent turn in the rotation, but he was able to throw a bullpen session Thursday and will repeat the activity Sunday. How he comes out of Sunday's session will determine when the Mariners slot him back into their rotation during the upcoming week, per Kramer.

Weathers was removed from Saturday's game against the Blue Jays with left forearm discomfort, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Weathers gave up two earned runs on eight hits in 3.1 innings during Saturday's contest before tweaking his forearm while throwing a pitch in the fourth. The severity of the southpaw's injury is unknown, but the Yankees should provide more information in the near future.

The Mariners selected Anderson's contract from Double-A Arkansas ahead of his start Saturday against the Cubs.

After turning in a 1.06 ERA and 0.64 WHIP while striking out 135 batters in 93.1 innings at Double-A, Anderson will skip past Triple-A and make his MLB debut Saturday. The 22-year-old lefty is viewed by many as the top pitching prospect in the sport and is likely to remain in the Mariners' rotation through the end of the season, assuming he doesn't struggle mightily during his first few major-league outings. Jhonathan Diaz was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Cameron (8-8) earned the win Friday against the Tigers, allowing two hits and three walks while striking out two over five scoreless innings.

Cameron wasn't particularly sharp from a command standpoint, ending with more walks than strikeouts for the second time since the beginning of July, but the Tigers couldn't capitalize on their opportunities. Cameron was coming off a one-hit shutout against the Angels, and he's now worked 14 consecutive scoreless innings across his last two starts. Cameron will take a 4.02 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 128:46 K:BB across 143.1 innings into his next start, tentatively scheduled for Thursday at Toronto.

Burke didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Mets, allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out four without a walk over six innings.

Burke struggled early, allowing three runs over the first four innings before Bo Bichette extended New York's advantage with a solo homer in the fifth. The right-hander nevertheless completed six frames without issuing a free pass, and Chicago's three-homer outburst in the bottom of the sixth ultimately got him off the hook for the loss. Burke has pitched particularly well over the last two months despite remaining winless since July 19, posting a 2.90 ERA in 40.1 innings across seven starts since the All-Star break. He's lined up to make his next start at home against the Rangers.

Melton (7-2) allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits across 5.2 innings to take the loss in Friday's 5-2 defeat to the Royals. He walked three and struck out three.

Melton was ultimately done in by a pair of Kansas City home runs as well as a lack of run support, and he ended up taking his first loss since June 25. In eight starts since then coming into Friday's contest, he had allowed two earned runs just once and had posted a sparkling 0.77 ERA. On the season, Melton has a stellar 1.60 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 90 innings of work, though he hasn't been a great source of strikeouts with only 76 of them so far. The young righty will look to get back in the win column in his next scheduled outing, which is currently lined up for Wednesday against the Rays at home.

Schlittler (11-6) picked up the win Friday in a 3-1 victory over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on six hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out four.

The AL Cy Young Award favorite wasn't at his most dominant, as the four Ks were his lowest total since June 2, but Schlittler still put together his 16th quality start of the season on 96 pitches (59 strikes). Over nine outings since the beginning of July, the 25-year-old right-hander has compiled a 2.33 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 70:16 K:BB in just 54 innings. Schlittler will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Astros.

Prielipp (3-7) took the loss Friday in San Diego, giving up six runs on eight hits with seven strikeouts and two walks over six innings.

After a six-start string of solid performances -- during which he posted a 4.09 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 10.1 K/9 -- Prielipp has now surrendered 14 earned runs across his past two outings. The left-hander had a strong start to his MLB career with a 2.88 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in his first five big-league appearances earlier this year, but he's been unable to maintain that level of effectiveness and has a 5.57 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 18 starts overall.

Hancock allowed three runs on eight hits and a hit batsman while striking out six and walking none over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Friday.

Hancock started poorly, giving up a solo home run to Pete Crow-Armstrong and a two-run shot to Alex Bregman in the first inning. After that, Hancock was able to settle down, finishing with 98 pitches (68 strikes), though the Mariners' bullpen would blow the lead he left them with. Over four starts in August, Hancock has allowed 11 runs (10 earned) across 23.1 innings, adding a 23:5 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's at a 3.37 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 125:32 K:BB through 133.2 innings over 24 starts. He's just an inning shy of matching his overall workload from the 2025 regular season, and he's 15.1 innings away from his career high from 2024. Hancock is projected to make his next start in Toronto.
