The Red Sox recalled Weissert from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Weissert was just sent down this past Friday but is back to take the spot of the injured Lucas Sims (lat). The right-hander has collected a 4.10 ERA and 49:18 K:BB over 48.1 frames out of the Red Sox' bullpen this season.

The Red Sox designated Keller for assignment Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Keller coughed up five runs (three earned) over four innings in an extended relief appearance Monday versus the Blue Jays. He wasn't going to be available for at least a couple days, so the Red Sox have elected to summon another reliever in his spot.

The Red Sox placed Sims on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lat strain, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Sims has been terrible since being acquired at the trade deadline, surrendering nine runs with a 7:7 K:BB over 10 innings. Now he will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks, and in all likelihood, longer.

The Guardians optioned Allen to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Allen joined the 26-man roster to make a spot start during Monday's doubleheader against Kansas City, where he allowed five runs in five innings. He'll be replaced by Anthony Gose on the active roster, who'll provide some bullpen depth. The left-handed Allen has a 5.73 ERA in 97.1 innings with Cleveland this season.

The Guardians selected Gose's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Gose was designated for assignment for the second time in August on Wednesday but inked a minor-league deal with the Guardians on Saturday and will rejoin the active roster. The 34-year-old allowed two runs in his lone appearance with the Guardians this season and has logged a 3.46 ERA across 39 innings for Columbus. Logan Allen was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Dubon (shoulder) is starting in left field and batting ninth Tuesday against the Phillies, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Dubon sat out Monday's contest after he suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's series finale versus Baltimore, but he's back in action after missing just one game. The 30-year-old hasn't found much success at the plate in August with a .175/.232/.222 slash line through 21 games.

The White Sox recalled Berroa from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

The right-hander was sent to Charlotte in early August but will rejoin the big-league bullpen after John Brebbia was designated for assignment. Berroa has made just three appearances in the majors this season and has largely struggled at Triple-A with a 6.60 ERA and 49:35 K:BB over 46.1 innings.

The Athletics claimed Gray off waivers from the Marlins on Tuesday.

Gray, 28, has spent the bulk of the 2024 season at Triple-A Jacksonville, slashing .240/.312/.454 with 17 home runs over 410 plate appearances. The infielder will report to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Leiter has been added to the Rangers' taxi squad and is likely to start Wednesday versus the White Sox, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Leiter has been torched for 17 runs over 9.1 innings in his first three major-league starts. However, he's been excellent of late at Triple-A Round Rock with a 2.57 ERA and a 63:18 K:BB across 42 innings during his last nine starts and the Rangers are ready to give him another chance. Leiter is an intriguing streaming option given the opponent, although one with obvious risk.

The White Sox designated Brebbia for assignment Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

The veteran right-hander filled a high-leverage role for Chicago this season and recorded two saves and 13 holds, but he hadn't been particularly effective with a 6.29 ERA in 54 outings. Brebbia posted a sub-4.00 ERA in five of his six MLB campaigns entering the season, so he could receive some interest from other teams.
