The Nationals designated Krook for assignment Monday.

Krook walked all three batters he faced and was charged with two runs in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks, and he finds himself off the 26-man and 40-man rosters a day later. Paxton Schultz will absorb Krook's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

The Orioles recalled Pozo from Double-A Chesapeake on Monday.

Baltimore optioned Pozo to the minors after claiming him off waivers from St. Louis last week, but after playing in just two games at Double-A, he's been summoned to the big club. The Orioles designated Sam Huff in a corresponding move, leaving Pozo and Chadwick Tromp as their two backstops while Adley Rutschman (wrist) and Samuel Basallo (shoulder) are on the shelf. While Tromp has more experience handling the Orioles' pitching staff, he's produced a weak .577 OPS over parts of seven seasons in the majors, so it wouldn't be surprising if Pozo gets a look as the team's top backstop until one of Rutschman or Basallo returns. Pozo owns a .637 OPS across 278 career big-league plate appearances and slashed .231/.255/.385 in 23 games between two minor-league stops this season.

House went 2-for-5 with two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Seeing his first action in the big leagues since May 18, House carved out his share of a 10-run, 15-hit attack by the Nationals that included nine extra-base hits. The 23-year-old will get a long look at third base due to Curtis Mead now being in Boston. Over 50 games with Triple-A Rochester this season, House put together a .301/.342/.500 slash line with eight homers, 26 runs and 34 RBI.

Susana (lat) faced hitters last week and could see his first game action of the season soon, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.

The 22-year-old right-hander with the triple-digit fastball underwent lat surgery last September, but Susana appears to be entering the final stages of his recovery. The Nationals still plan to continue his development as a starting pitcher once he's activated from the IL, but if the team does squeak into the playoffs in 2026, his elite raw stuff could make him an option for a Washington bullpen that has lacked reliable high-leverage relievers all season.

The Reds placed Steer on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right wrist sprain.

Steer suffered the injury on an awkward swing during Sunday's contest in St. Louis. The Reds have not yet revealed a timetable for Steer, but Buster Olney of ESPN reported earlier Monday that the 28-year-old is expected to miss "significant time." Noelvi Marte could see a playing time bump for the Reds while Steer is sidelined.

The Reds recalled Johnson from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

Johnson went 0-for-5 at the dish during a previous stint in the majors. The 27-year-old utility player is grabbing the roster spot vacated by the injured Spencer Steer (wrist) and is likely to operate in a reserve role.

The White Sox reinstated Pereira (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Monday.

Pereira will settle back in as a fourth or fifth outfielder for the White Sox, with Chicago optioning Junior Perez to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding roster move. Though Pereira has spent time on the shelf this season due to a left ankle sprain, a right pectoral strain and a concussion, he's been an adequate performer when he's been available, slashing .232/.299/.420 with three home runs and one stolen base over 77 plate appearances. Now healthy again, the right-handed-hitting Pereira will likely see most of his opportunities against left-handed pitching.

Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

The shortstop spoiled Boston's combined shutout bid with an RBI single in the ninth inning. Gimenez's steal was his 12th of the year, marking the fifth straight season he's reached that total, and after going 1-for-15 in seven games coming out of the All-Star break, he's racked up five hits in the last two contests. On the season, he's managed a meager .234/.275/.359 slash line with seven homers, 26 runs and 40 RBI in 100 games, but his 10 Outs Above Average is tied for third among all full-time shortstops in the majors, behind the Royals' Bobby Witt (18) and the Guardians' Brayan Rocchio (12).

The Reds are expected to place Steer on the injured list Monday after he suffered a right wrist injury that is likely to cost him "significant time," Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

Steer was forced out of Sunday's 5-3 win over the Cardinals in the fifth inning, after he felt some discomfort when he fouled a pitch off the end of his bat. The Reds labeled his injury as right wrist pain and indicated that he would visit a specialist Monday for further imaging. While the team has yet to provide an official update on Steer's status, Olney's report suggests that an MRI revealed a major injury. With a .740 OPS over 98 games this season, the versatile Steer was expected to be a coveted right-handed bat ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, but his impending move to the IL will likely take any potential deal off the table.

Tiedemann (elbow/neck) gave up one hit and struck out two over a scoreless inning in a rehab appearance for Single-A Dunedin on Sunday.

The 23-year-old southpaw hadn't seen game action since June 20 due to neck discomfort that required injections to alleviate, but Tiedemann was back on a mound Sunday and flashing impressive raw stuff once again. According to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, Tiedemann's fastball averaged 96.4 mph and topped out at 97.7 mph. He's still in the process of getting ramped up following July 2024 Tommy John surgery, and the Blue Jays plan to have him work out of the bullpen for the rest of the season before re-evaluating his future role in 2027. He'll be moved up to Triple-A Buffalo once his rehab stint is over, and if he avoids any further setbacks, he could make his big-league debut in September.
