The Twins recalled Martin from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Martin dealt with hamstring issues earlier in the season and has yet to play in the big leagues in 2025. Following the Twins' fire sale at the trade deadline, Martin will rejoin Minnesota, providing depth at second base and in the outfield. Martin slashed .319/.431/.398 with one home run, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 21:17 BB:K across 137 plate appearances with St. Paul.

The Twins recalled Julien from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, LaVelle E. Neal III of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

With Luke Keaschall (forearm) staying in Triple-A for a longer rehab assignment, Julien may get steady time at second base and first base in the near term after the Twins shipped out nine players at the trade deadline. Julien had heated up at Triple-A after struggling in the majors this spring, as he was hitting .276/.415/.464 with 11 home runs in 70 games at St. Paul.

The Twins recalled Fitzgerald from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Fitzgerald made his MLB debut with Minnesota earlier this season, receiving three plate appearances across two games. He scored one run but is still looking for his first major-league hit. Fitzgerald gives the Twins some infield depth following the trades of Carlos Correa, Willi Castro and Ty France.

The Twins recalled Adams from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Adams made his MLB debut earlier this season, pitching in four games out of the bullpen for the Twins. He registered an 8.03 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB across 12.1 innings of work. Adams will help fill the void in Minnesota's bullpen following the trade deadline.

Keaschall (forearm) won't be reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday and will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The Twins have a ton of roster spots to fill coming out of the trade deadline, but Keaschall needs a bit more time in the minors before rejoining the active roster. The 22-year-old served exclusively as a designated hitter during the first week of his rehab assignment, and he'll continue building up his defensive work with St. Paul. Once reinstated, Keaschall should see plenty of playing time following the departures of Carlos Correa (illness), Willi Castro, Harrison Bader and Ty France.

The Orioles selected Adams' contract from Double-A Chesapeake on Friday.

The 25-year-old will bolster Baltimore's outfield following the departures of Cedric Mullins, Ramon Laureano and Ryan O'Hearn. Adams will likely start out as the Orioles' No. 4 outfielder, but it'll still be his best opportunity yet in the majors, as the former Angel has played just 33 games across parts of three big-league seasons.

The Orioles selected Vavra's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

The 28-year-old remained in the organization after being designated for assignment in late May, and he'll receive another look in the majors after Baltimore traded away Ryan O'Hearn, Ramon Laureano and Cedric Mullins. Vavra last played in the majors in 2023 and had a .560 OPS in 56 plate appearances. His performance at Norfolk this season has also been underwhelming with a .695 OPS.

The Orioles recalled Vazquez from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

The 25-year-old will join the big-league roster with the Orioles having some openings after the trade deadline. Vazuez has gone 1-for-13 in 12 MLB games this season and isn't likely to see much playing time with Baltimore's infield in good health.

Clarke (hip) began a hitting and running progression Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Clarke landed on the injured list July 22 due to a Grade 2 adductor strain, and it's encouraging that he was shut down from baseball activities for only about a week. The 25-year-old has a lot of work to do in his rehab before being game ready, but a return in mid-August appears plausible.

Scholtens (elbow) resumed his rehab assignment July 13 and has allowed six runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out 11 over 8.1 innings in three outings with Triple-A Charlotte.

Scholtens, who is working his way back from March 2024 Tommy John surgery, began a rehab assignment May 6 before experiencing elbow discomfort June 4. After taking about a month off, the righty is now building back up again. He tossed 3.1 innings and 64 pitches in his latest start for Charlotte this past Saturday, so he'll likely require at least one or two more rehab outings before he'll be ready for activation. The White Sox wouldn't appear to have a starting role available for Scholtens, so he could work out of the bullpen or out of the rotation at Triple-A once he's reinstated from the 60-day injured list.
