The Marlins designated Ramirez for assignment Tuesday.

The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in late August and has now lost his place on the 40-man roster. Ramirez posted a 6.97 ERA in 15 outings for Miami this season but pitched well for Jacksonville with a 3.76 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 51:16 K:BB across 40.2 innings.

The Marlins designated Emanuel for assignment Tuesday.

It's the fifth time Emanuel has been designated for assignment by the Marlins this season. He hasn't been effective when up in the majors and has a 6.62 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB over 17.2 innings. He'll likely head back to Triple-A Jacksonville if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Marlins designated Sanchez for assignment Tuesday.

Miami selected the 27-year-old's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on June 21, and he primarily served as a backup catcher during his time with the big club. Jhonny Pereda is now poised to fill that role after Sanchez posted a .167/.211/.190 slash line in 31 games.

Albies (wrist) is no longer wearing a brace and took fielding practice Tuesday, Grant McAuley of 92.9 The Game Atlanta reports.

Albies is doing some swinging in the cage but has not been cleared to hit yet. Sunday will be the six-week mark of his projected 6-to-8 week absence with a left wrist fracture, and things are trending to a return toward the back end of that timetable.

The Marlins activated Simpson (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The left-hander had the elbow issue surface in February and underwent surgery to repair the ulnar nerve in late April, but he's been fully cleared after an eight-appearance rehab assignment. Simpson surrendered six runs with an 11:8 K:BB across 8.2 innings during the rehab stint, so he'll be sent to Triple-A rather than joining Miami's bullpen.

Steele has been diagnosed with left elbow inflammation following an MRI, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

He will undergo additional imaging, but the left-hander received good news from the initial test results. Steele had to be scratched from a scheduled start Tuesday versus the Pirates due to elbow soreness, which he admitted he's been dealing with for a while. No decision has been made regarding a potential stint on the 15-day injured list, but it's a move that seems likely. Kyle Hendricks is starting in Steele's place Tuesday.

The Marlins claimed Veneziano off waivers from the Royals on Tuesday.

The left-hander was designated for assignment by Kansas City over the weekend, and Miami scooped him up to bolster its bullpen depth. Veneziano has made just two big-league appearances this season and has a 4.80 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 76:42 K:BB across 31 outings (14 starts) at Triple-A.

The Brewers recalled Peguero from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Peguero has collected a 3.00 ERA and 43:24 K:BB across 48 frames out of the Milwaukee bullpen this season. He'll likely operate as a middle reliever for the Brewers.

The Brewers placed Wilson on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right oblique strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Wilson evidently must have tweaked his oblique at some point during a 3.1-inning relief appearance in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Reds. He will be eligible to return Sept. 17, but it's not yet clear whether he will have a chance to be ready by that date.

The Marlins recalled Maldonado from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Maldonado is back with the Marlins after spending the past two months with Jacksonville. The 26-year-old has made 11 appearances in the majors this season and has a 6.23 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB across 13 innings.
