The Guardians selected Gose's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander will join the big-league roster for the first time since 2022, when he underwent Tommy John surgery late in the season. Gose has pitched well at Triple-A this season with a 3.29 ERA and 55:23 K:BB over 38.1 innings.

The Guardians designated Curry for assignment Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Anthony Gose. Curry has had uninspiringly results as a swingman with the Guardians over the past three seasons, posting a 4.53 ERA and 85:41 K:BB over 129 innings.

The Astros selected Dezenzo's contract from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Dezenzo will make his MLB debut despite having missed the first two months of the season while recovering from a wrist injury and having appeared in merely 11 games at the Triple-A level. While he doesn't have much experience at the highest level of the minors, Dezenzo was highly impressive at Sugar Land following his promotion from Double-A Corpus Christi in late July. Over 53 plate appearances at Triple-A, Dezenzo slashed .391/.472/.739 with four home runs, three stolen bases and an 18.9 percent strikeout rate. The 24-year-old is capable of playing both corner-infield spots, but with Alex Bregman entrenched at third base, Dezenzo will most likely get his first look at the big-league level at first base and designated hitter.

The Guardians optioned Allen to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Allen was solid in a spot start Monday against the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs over five innings. With Allen heading back to the minors, it would seem the Guardians feel good about Tanner Bibee's (shoulder) chances of being ready to make a start later this week.

The Rangers will reinstate Mahle (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and have him start Tuesday's game against the Astros in Arlington, Bally Sports Southwest reports.

The transaction will be made official later Tuesday, when the Rangers will also announce a corresponding 40-man roster move. After completing his recovery from May 2023 Tommy John surgery, Mahle will be making his Rangers and season debuts Tuesday. The right-hander gradually got stretched out over the course of six rehab starts, most recently tossing 4.2 innings and 74 pitches this past Wednesday with Triple-A Round Rock. The return of Mahle should bolster the back end of a Texas rotation that's currently down three of its top contributors in Jacob deGrom (elbow), Max Scherzer (shoulder) and Jon Gray (groin).

Englert (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Englert has been sidelined since July 6 due to inflammation in his throwing elbow but will begin pitching in games Tuesday. The 24-year-old has bounced between the majors and Triple-A Toledo this season, logging a 5.95 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 19.2 innings with Detroit.

Schuemann went 1-for-4 with a two-run single in a win over the White Sox on Monday.

The rookie snapped a 1-1 tie in the fourth with his single, which brought home JJ Bleday and Zack Gelof to give the Athletics a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Prior to Monday, Schuemann had gone 11 games without an RBI, a stretch during which he'd hit just .200 overall and a miserable .077 with runners on base. Despite those forgettable numbers, Schuemann may be in the early stages of a resurgence, now having hit safely in three of his past four games.

Gelof went 0-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the White Sox on Monday.

Gelof wreaked some havoc during the pair of occasions he reached safely, coming home with his 39th and 40th runs of the season while also recording his 14th steal. Yet, Gelof's busy night on the bases notwithstanding, he's mired in the midst of another nightmarish stretch at the plate, one that's seen him hit .077 (2-for-26) over his last nine games and drop his season slash line to an anemic .188/.258/.349 in the process.

Pena went 2-for-4 with two RBI on Monday against the Rangers.

Pena had a nine-game hitting streak spanning from July 14 to July 27, during which he hit .412 with six RBI and seven runs scored. He's slumped in eight games since by going just 4-for-30 with a 34.4 percent strikeout rate, though he showed signs of breaking out of that slide with his multi-hit performance Monday. Pena is up to 50 RBI on the season, 14 away from setting a new career high.

Bregman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Monday against the Rangers.

Bregman popped his 15th home run of the season in the third inning, which was also his third long ball in his last 10 starts. Though his power has picked up, he's otherwise struggled at the plate in that span by going 7-for-42 with three RBI and four runs scored. Overall, Bregman's performance has improved over the last two months -- he hit .310 in June and .263 in July -- but his counting stats are still lagging from his norm.
