The Blue Jays recalled Lee from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com.

Just four days after being optioned to Buffalo, Lee will rejoin the big-league club on Tuesday. In five appearances with Toronto this year, the 27-year-old owns a 5.06 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 2:5 K:BB and one save through 5.1 innings. The Blue Jays sent Jameson Taillon (forearm) to the 15-day IL on Tuesday, clearing a spot on the active roster for Lee.

Toronto placed Taillon on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Taillon completed just four innings Monday against Boston before being removed with discomfort in his right forearm. The 34-year-old will head to the IL for the second time this season and first time as a member of the Blue Jays. The right-hander made just two starts for Toronto since being dealt to the club on Aug. 2 from the Cubs. The Blue Jays recalled Chase Lee from Triple-A Buffalo to take Taillon's spot on the active roster.

Okamoto (knee) is back in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Red Sox.

After missing Monday's series opener with Boston due to a left knee contusion, Okamoto will return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. The 30-year-old will handle duties in the hot corner and bat seventh for Toronto.

The Tigers selected Rainey's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Rainey will make his first appearance in the big leagues this season after having his contract selected by Detroit on Tuesday. The 32-year-old has posted a 5-3 record, 2.32 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 60:26 K:BB through 42.2 innings at Triple-A Toledo this season. Rainey's promotion comes in the wake of Enmanuel De Jesus heading out on paternity leave.

Detroit placed De Jesus on the paternity list on Tuesday, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.

With the birth of his child on the way, the Tigers are placing De Jesus on paternity leave. The 29-year-old can spend up to three days on the paternity list, so he should be back with the Tigers by Friday's series opener versus the White Sox.

Ruiz is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Cubs.

Despite getting on base four times in Sunday's series finale against the Reds, Ruiz will ride the pine Tuesday. Harry Ford will handle the catching duties and bat fifth for Washington's series opener against the Cubs.

Miami placed Stowers on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain on Tuesday.

Stowers exited Sunday's series finale early against the Angels with discomfort in his left hamstring, and the injury proved serious enough to warrant a trip to the injured list. The 28-year-old will be sidelined for at least 10 days for the second time this season, after also missing the first three weeks-plus of the campaign due to a right hamstring strain. The left-handed-hitting Stowers has batted .242/.327/.462 with 16 home runs and 52 RBI in 399 plate appearances this season. Miami recalled Graham Pauley from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Cabrera (hamstring) is slated to make the third start of his rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Knoxville, MLB.com reports.

Cabrera will bump down a level after making his first two rehab starts at Triple-A Iowa. The right-hander, who has been on the shelf since June 24 due to a left hamstring/adductor strain, most recently covered 55 pitches over four innings Wednesday, striking out eight batters in that outing while allowing one unearned run on one hit and no walks. If he's able to build on that pitch count Tuesday, Cabrera should get the green light to return from the 15-day injured list to make his next start in the big leagues.

Bassitt (back) struck out five and allowed three hits and two walks across six scoreless innings Friday in a rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk.

Bassitt built up to 83 pitches (51 strikes) in the third and most likely final start of his minor-league rehab assignment. Over his three outings with Norfolk, Bassitt submitted a 1.98 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB In 13.2 innings. He's expected to return from the 60-day injured list to slot into the rotation this weekend during the Orioles' series at Tampa Bay. The Orioles already cleared a spot in the rotation for Bassitt by optioning lefty Cade Povich to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

The Athletics claimed Rom off waivers from the Brewers on Tuesday.

The left-hander was designated for assignment by the Brewers over the weekend and will retain a 40-man roster spot with the Athletics. Rom was at the Triple-A level for Milwaukee and should report to Triple-A Las Vegas for his new organization. He has a 2.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 59:10 K:BB across 40 Triple-A innings this season and also gave up two earned runs on six hits with 11 strikeouts and four walks over 5.2 frames in the majors.
