Barlow was designated for assignment by the Royals on Friday.

Barlow has been lit up for 16 runs -- 13 earned -- in 12.2 innings of relief at the Triple-A level since the Royals claimed him off waivers from the Rangers in early August. The 27-year-old is off the 40-man roster and back in DFA limbo.

Kansas City recalled McArthur from Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

McArthur has given up 12 earned runs through his first seven major-league innings this season. The 26-year-old right-hander figures to operate in a low-leverage role as he gets another look in the Royals' bullpen.

The Angels recalled Wantz from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Wantz returns to the majors as a middle-relief option with rosters expanding to 28. The right-hander has registered a 4.56 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB through 23.2 big-league innings this year.

The Angels recalled Reyes from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Reyes has allowed six runs (five earned) in 6.2 major-league innings this season, but the Angels need bullpen depth after Matt Moore, Dominic Leone and Reynaldo Lopez were claimed off waivers.

The Angels recalled Ingram from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Ingram has allowed four earned runs on five hits and two walks across his first 2.1 major-league innings (two appearances) this season. The 26-year-old left-hander figures to work in a low-leverage role.

The Angels recalled Herget from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

Herget was excellent for the Angels in 2022 but has struggled to a 5.82 ERA in 17 major-league innings this year. The right-hander will likely operate in a low-leverage relief role.

Texas recalled Bradford from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Sam Huff is the other September call-up for the Rangers. Bradford carries a 4.50 ERA and 37:11 K:BB in 40 innings this season at the major-league level and will likely slide into a long relief role.

Houston recalled Kuhnel from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Kuhnel will give the Astros an extra bullpen arm as major-league rosters expand to 28. The right-hander has surrendered seven earned runs in 5.1 major-league innings this season between Cincinnati and Houston.

Kelly (ankle) was activated Friday from the 15-day injured list, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Kelly will return to the Rays' bullpen ahead of Friday night's series opener against the Guardians after missing exactly 15 days due to a left ankle sprain. The 25-year-old rookie reliever holds a solid 3.48 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 45:14 K:BB through his first 54.1 major-league innings this season.

Cleveland optioned Morris to Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Morris has surrendered six earned runs on 10 hits and six walks in eight major-league innings this season, which works out to a 6.75 ERA and 2.00 WHIP. Waiver additions Reynaldo Lopez and Matt Moore are joining the Guardians' bullpen Friday, while Hunter Gaddis also gets the boot.
