The Guardians recalled Allen from Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

Allen has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he's started in eight games and has a 2-1 record with a 5.45 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 43:19 K:BB across 38 innings. Although he's been a starter his entire career, the Guardians don't have an obvious opening in the rotation, so Allen will most likely be ticketed for a multi-inning role out of the bullpen. The Guardians designated right-hander Peyton Pallette for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Tigers appointed Summers from Triple-A Toledo to serve as their 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

He's expected to return to Toledo following the twin bill. Sommers made four appearances out of the Tigers bullpen in 2025 but has worked exclusively at Triple-A so far the season, posting a 3.10 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

The Guardians designated Pallette for assignment Sunday.

A Rule 5 Draft pick this past winter, Pallete must go unclaimed off waivers and be offered to the White Sox before the Guardians can outright the right-hander to the minors. Over 20.2 innings out of the Cleveland bullpen this season, Pallette posted a 5.23 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 22:16 K:BB. The Guardians recalled left-hander Logan Allen from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move.

Workman is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

Since getting called up from Triple-A Toledo on May 10, Workman has provided five extra-base hits (two home runs, three doubles), but he's batting just .188 overall and has struck out in 16 of his 32 plate appearances. Even with Detroit still down three everyday players in Gleyber Torres (oblique), Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) and Javier Baez (ankle), Workman may have to settle for a part-time role if his contact woes continue.

Torkelson is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Orioles.

Torkelson will take a seat for the first game of the twin bill, but he'll most likely return to the starting nine for the nightcap. Colt Keith will get the nod at first base in the early game.

Gonzalez (shoulder) has started hitting flips, MLB.com reports.

Gonzalez is taking short underhand flips from in close and at low velocity as he begins to get his timing back. At some point, he'll graduate to hitting off a machine and then live pitching. Gonzalez is aiming to return at some point next month.

The Red Sox optioned Samaniego to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

After he worked in relief the previous two days and with the Red Sox needing to clear room for Danny Coulombe (neck) to return from the injured list, Samaniego became a roster casualty. Samaniego has posted a 1.04 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB in 17.1 innings this season and shouldn't have to wait long for his next call-up to the big leagues.

The Red Sox reinstated Coulombe (neck) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Boston demoted another left-handed reliever in Tyler Samaniego to clear room on the active roster for Coulombe, who will rejoin the bullpen following a three-week stint on the shelf. Before dealing with neck spasms, he had delivered a 5.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in eight innings, mainly in middle relief.

The Orioles reinstated Wolfram (back) from the 15-day injured list and appointed him as their 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader versus the Tigers.

Wolfram will rejoin Baltimore after spending the minimum amount of time on the shelf while recovering from a back strain. The Orioles will have to option a player to the minors following the twin bill, and despite being designated as the 27th man, Wolfram could stick around with the big club. Though he maintains a 4.85 ERA and 1.54 WHIP through 13 innings on the season, Wolfram's 30.6 K-BB% and 1.72 SIERA indicate that he's been one of Baltimore's more dominant bullpen arms.

Helman entered Saturday's game in the fourth inning after Josh Jung (shoulder) was removed and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a double in a 5-2 loss to the Angels.

Texas manager Skip Schumaker adjusted to the injury by moving shortstop Ezequiel Duran to third base and having Helman defend short. Depending on how Jung's shoulder responds, Helman could find himself somewhere in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale. Since being called up from Triple-A Round Rock, Helman has gone 2-for-8 over four games.
