The White Sox designated Wilson for assignment Thursday.

Wilson's time with the White Sox will come to an end after just five days, during which he threw two shutout innings in his lone appearance Tuesday against Minnesota. The 27-year-old cleared waivers and remained with the organization when he was DFA'd in June, and there's a strong chance he does the same this time around.

The White Sox placed Hudson on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a lower-back strain.

Hudson had been recalled earlier this week and made just one appearance before landing on the IL. He'll be eligible to return later this month, but any injury at this point has the potential to be a season-ender.

The White Sox recalled Gilbert from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

The 31-year-old southpaw was sent down to Triple-A last week, but he'll now return to Chicago to fill in for Bryan Hudson (back), who landed on the injured list Thursday. Gilbert owns a 4.61 ERA through 41 innings in the majors this year and will presumably work in middle relief while with the big club.

The White Sox recalled Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday.

Cannon is scheduled to serve as the bulk reliever in Thursday's game against the Twins. The right-hander has made 17 starts and two relief appearances for Chicago this season, posting a 5.34 ERA and 76:35 K:BB over 96 innings.

Atlanta released Quantrill on Thursday.

Quantrill was rocked for 12 runs over eight innings in two appearances after Atlanta claimed him off waivers. He's now free to sign elsewhere and might have to settle for a minor-league contract.

Atlanta designated Williams for assignment Thursday.

Williams went just 4-for-30 at the plate with Atlanta this season while recording five RBI and scoring five runs. Williams' defensive versatility could allow him to get claimed by another team, though he remains a non-factor on offense.

Atlanta recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Hernandez will give manager Brian Snitker a fresh bullpen arm. The hard-throwing righty has a 2.72 ERA but also a 33:30 K:BB over 36.1 frames this season with the big club.

The Mets claimed Suero off waivers from Atlanta on Thursday.

Suero has given up eight runs in only 6.1 innings in the majors this season, but the Mets will take a chance on him based on his 1.35 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through 46.2 frames in Triple-A.

Atlanta activated Profar from the paternity list Thursday.

Profar missed the final two games of the series against the Cubs while welcoming a new baby to the family, but he'll be ready for the start of the weekend series against the Mariners. The switch hitter is slashing .253/.386/.471 with nine homers and eight steals in the second half.

The Mariners optioned Saucedo to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Saucedo is being sent down to make room on the active roster for Jose Castillo, who officially reported Thursday one day after being claimed off waivers. The left-handed Saucedo holds a 7.43 ERA and 12:6 K:BB over 13.1 innings for Seattle this season.
