The Angels selected Suarez's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

Suarez was removed from the 40-man roster back in June but has made his way back to the majors after posting a 6.54 ERA and 62:17 K:BB over 52.1 innings covering 11 starts. The left-hander will likely operate in a long-relief role.

The Angels optioned Crouse to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

One day after being recalled from Triple-A, Crouse will head back to Salt Lake to make room in the bullpen for a fresher arm in lefty Jose Suarez, who was called up from the minors in a corresponding move. Crouse tossed 27 pitches and retired four hitters in his relief appearance in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Rangers, allowing no runs on zero hits and two walks while striking out one.

Correa said Monday that he's "very encouraged" with his progress after beginning a new type of treatment for the plantar fasciitis in his right foot five days ago, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Correa has sprinted three of the last four days and has come out of the workouts feeling better than he has in a long time. The shortstop believes he could be ready to play in games soon, though he's without a clear timeline to do so. Correa has been sidelined since the All-Star break.

The Angels transferred Adell (oblique) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

While the Angels haven't provided a timeline for Adell's recovery from the left oblique strain that forced him out of Friday's game against the Rangers, his move to the 60-day IL implies that the team quickly determined he wouldn't make a full recovery from the injury before the season ends Sept. 29. Adell should be at or close to 100 percent prior to the calendar flipping over to 2025, so the expectation is that he'll be fully cleared in advance of spring training. Though he still struck out in 28 percent of his 450 plate appearances in the majors this season, Adell made tremendous strides with both his contact and walk (8 percent) rates while providing to be a strong source of counting stats (20 home runs, 15 steals, 54 runs and 62 RBI). Barring any major offseason additions to the outfield, Adell projects to head into Opening Day in 2025 as the Angels' everyday right fielder.

The Mariners designated Vosler for assignment on Monday.

Vosler will cede his spot on the Mariners' 40-man roster to lefty reliever Austin Kitchen, whom Seattle claimed off waivers from Miami. Before he was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Aug. 8, Vosler enjoyed a two-week run in the big leagues with Seattle shortly after the All-Star break, slashing .179/.233/.286 over 10 games. The 31-year-old corner infielder is likely to go unclaimed off waivers.

The Mariners claimed Kitchen off waivers from the Marlins on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma.

Seattle designated infielder Jason Vosler for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster for Kitchen, a 27-year-old lefty reliever. He reached the big leagues for the first time this season but was lit up in his four appearances out of the Miami bullpen, giving up 11 earned runs on 16 hits and three walks over seven innings.

Rendon is day-to-day with left side back soreness and is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Rendon will take a seat for the second straight game and for the third time over the last five contests while he manages the back issue. Though the Angels haven't suggested that Rendon will require a stint on the 10-day injured list, his track record with injuries suggests nothing is guaranteed. Brandon Drury will occupy third base Monday.

Volpe is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest against the Royals, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Volpe will get his first day off since he received a breather back on March 31 during the Yankees' first series of the season versus the Astros. Oswaldo Cabrera will fill in at shortstop Monday.

Stanton is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Royals, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Aaron Judge will occupy the designated-hitter spot Monday while Jasson Dominguez picks up a start in the outfield after being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Stanton is in the midst of a 1-for-19 slide at the plate and could see his playing time dip upon Dominguez's arrival, though manager Aaron Boone told Laura Albanese of Newsday that Stanton will serve as the Yankees' DH more often that not. With that in mind, Alex Verdugo -- who will start in left field Monday -- could find himself as the odd man out of the lineup more frequently than Stanton.

Interim manager Grady Sizemore said Saturday that Nastrini will be available in relief Monday in what's expected to be a bullpen day in the White Sox's series opener versus the Guardians, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Sizemore hasn't officially pulled the plug on Nastrini as the fifth member of the rotation, but the rookie right-hander will look to turn in better results in relief after posting a 7.79 ERA and 24:32 K:BB in 32.1 innings through his first eight big-league starts. Jared Shuster is slated to open the contest and has worked at least four innings over four of his 37 appearances this season between the majors and Triple-A, so Nastrini could end up piggybacking Shuster rather than serving as a true bulk reliever Monday.
