The Astros recalled Teng from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Teng was optioned to Sugar Land in late July and worked exclusively out of the bullpen while with the minor-league club, turning in a 3.48 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB across 10.1 innings. He'll work in relief for the Astros after making 10 starts for the team earlier this season.

The Yankees recalled Schuemann from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

With Ryan McMahon (thumb) sent to the injured list, Schuemann will rejoin the big-league club after he was optioned earlier this month following the Yankees' deadline acquisitions. Schuemann has slashed just .194/.333/.361 with two homers, eight RBI, 17 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 12:21 BB:K across 87 trips to the plate with New York this season.

The Yankees placed McMahon on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left thumb sprain.

In a corresponding move, the team recalled Max Schuemann from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. McMahon suffered his injury on a slide in Wednesday's game. Amed Rosario and Jose Caballero are candidates to see increased playing time at the hot corner while McMahon is sidelined.

Antonacci is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

With lefty Sean Manaea taking the hill for New York, Antonacci will get a night off. Antonacci is just 2-for-22 at the plate over his last eight games and is batting just .200 with a .600 OPS in the month of August. Randal Grichuk is making the start in left field while Chase Meidroth handles leadoff duties.

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

To make room for him on the 26-man roster, Baltimore DFA'd Albert Suarez. Nunez has pitched in 40 games out the Orioles' bullpen this season, registering a 4.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 46:22 K:BB across 45 innings.

The Athletics optioned Rashi to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

The right-hander was called up by the A's on Tuesday after being claimed off waivers and will head to Triple-A after giving up a run across two innings during his team debut Thursday in Kansas City. Rashi has surrendered five earned runs with a 5:3 K:BB over 5.2 frames between the Diamondbacks and Athletics this year.

The Athletics selected Stefanic's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Stefanic has spent the majority of the 2026 season with Las Vegas, where he's slashed .296/.405/.414 with six homers, 59 RBI, 59 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a 59:43 BB:K across 453 plate appearances in the Triple-A club's hitter-friendly confines. He'll serve as infield depth with the big club.

The Athletics transferred Kurtz (thumb) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Manager Mark Kotsay indicated Aug. 11 that Kurtz may be done for the season after receiving a PRP injection for his strained right thumb, and the move to the 60-day IL guarantees the first baseman is done for 2026 since the A's are unofficially out of the playoff hunt, and he won't be eligible to be reinstated until after the end of the regular season. The 23-year-old was unable to fully replicate the 36 homers and 1.002 OPS he posted as a rookie last year, but he was still plenty productive in 2026 with 21 home runs, seven steals, 69 RBI, 62 runs and a .256/.396/.483 slash line in 99 games.

The Athletics recalled Morris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

The 24-year-old made his big-league debut earlier this season, appearing in three games, and was hammered for 13 runs on 19 hits and six walks with six strikeouts across 10 innings. He was used exclusively as a starter with Las Vegas but figures to rejoin the bullpen with the Athletics.

The Athletics placed Wilson (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Friday.

Wilson is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 campaign as he continues to deal with soreness in the left shoulder that he separated earlier in the season. Wilson wraps up his second MLB season having slashed just .266/.298/.388 with seven home runs, 37 RBI, 37 runs scored, four stolen bases and a 12:39 BB:K across 337 trips to the plate. The shoulder injury likely contributed to his OPS dipping from .800 last season to just .685 in 2026.
