The Angels recalled Mederos from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Mederos will start Tuesday versus the Dodgers after Tyler Anderson, who was initially slated to start for the Halos, was scratched due to a back injury. In a corresponding move, Shaun Anderson was designated for assignment.

The Angels recalled Kavadas from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

With Gustavo Campero (ankle) headed to the injured list, Kavadas will come up from the minors to replenish the Angels' bench depth. The 26-year-old is 0-for-1 in the majors this season but owns an .826 OPS through 479 plate appearances in Triple-A.

The Astros reinstated Dubin (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

The right-hander has been sidelined nearly two months due to a forearm strain but is ready to rejoin the active roster after a five-appearance rehab assignment. Dubin had a 1.33 ERA and six holds in 18 appearances this season prior to the injury, and he should at least be in the setup mix for Houston with closer Josh Hader (shoulder) landing on the injured list.

Moore isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Moore will sit down for the third time in four games Tuesday after going 3-for-20 with three runs scored since his return from the injured list. Luis Rengifo will pick up another start at second base and bat seventh.

Harvey was diagnosed with a Grade 2 adductor strain and received an injection Tuesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Manager Matt Quatraro said Tuesday that Harvey is expected to miss a significant amount of time, but the team still believes he could pitch again before the end of the season. A clearer timeline for his return will likely emerge whenever he's cleared to begin a throwing program.

The Blue Jays reinstated Gimenez (ankle) from the 10-day injured list and he is starting at second base Tuesday versus the Cubs.

Gimenez, who sprained his left ankle in early July, played in five games during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo. He went 7-for-18 with a stolen base and three runs scored. With the second baseman returning Tuesday, Buddy Kennedy was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The White Sox optioned Peguero to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

The right-hander was promoted Sunday after being claimed off waivers from the Brewers, and he allowed an earned run over 1.2 frames in his lone outing while up with the White Sox. Peguero had a 2.98 ERA with two saves and 11 holds across 51.1 innings for Milwaukee during the 2024 regular season, but he's made just seven appearances in the big leagues this year.

The White Sox reinstated Vargas (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

The 25-year-old landed on the injured list in early August due to an oblique strain, and he'll rejoin the big-league club after missing just the 10-day minimum. Prior to the injury, Vargas came out of the All-Star break hot with an .874 OPS in 13 games.

The White Sox selected Gomez's contract from Triple-A Charlotte, and he's scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

The right-hander spent time with the White Sox, Dodgers and Yankees early in the season and had a 6.62 ERA and 13:13 K:BB across 17.2 relief innings, and he's worked as a starter at Charlotte for the past few months. Gomez has excelled in that role at Triple-A and has a 2.12 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB over 46.2 innings, so Chicago will now give him his first start in the majors.

The Astros placed Hader on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Aug. 11, due to a left shoulder strain.

The All-Star closer was unavailable for the save Monday against the Red Sox due to left shoulder discomfort, and he's now been diagnosed with a strain. Hader will be eligible to be reinstated Aug. 26, though he's without an official timeline for his return since a recovery timetable has yet to be announced. Enyel De Los Santos and Bennett Sousa combined to handle the ninth inning Monday, but setup man Bryan Abreu is the likely favorite to fill in as Houston's closer.
