Kelly (elbow) was activated from the 15-day injured list Saturday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Kelly wound up missing just a little over the minimum 15 days with right elbow inflammation. The veteran reliever holds a 4.82 ERA this season, although that's come with a 37:10 K:BB over 28 innings.

Campbell was recalled from Double-A Arkansas on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Berroa walked three over two-thirds of an inning in his major-league debut Friday but managed to escape without allowing a run. Isaiah Campbell is taking his spot in the bullpen.

Rodriguez was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

The 25-year-old is taking Grant Anderson's spot in the Rangers' bullpen. Rodriguez has put up a 3.12 ERA and 6:3 K:BB over 8.2 frames with Texas this season and figures to occupy a low-leverage relief role.

Anderson was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Anderson had been roughed up for six runs over his last two relief appearances. His spot in the Rangers' bullpen will be absorbed by Yerry Rodriguez.

Stephan (5-4) struck out two over 1.2 perfect innings to earn the win Friday versus the Phillies.

With starter Gavin Williams going just four innings, the official scorer had the discretion to award Stephan the win for his work in the seventh and eighth frames. Stephan has pitched to a shaky 6.43 ERA in July, but he's at a solid 3.21 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB while adding two saves and 15 holds through 42 innings this season in a setup role.

Fleming (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with the Rays' Florida Complex League affiliate Saturday.

Fleming has been on the shelf since early June with cartilage damage and inflammation in his pitching elbow, but he's finally ready to test things out in game action. Given his relatively lengthy absence, Fleming figures to require a handful of rehab appearances before being an option for the Rays' rotation or bullpen.

Garza was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Garza has put up a 6.11 ERA across 16 appearances in the majors this season. He might only be up for a few days while Brayan Bello is on the paternity list.

Lovelady is slated to undergo further evaluation on his injured forearm with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles, the team's official site reports.

The details surrounding Lovelady's forearm issues have been somewhat murky, and the fact he'll be undergoing further consultation suggests they may be a bit more complex than initially believed. The southpaw was placed on the injured list July 14, retroactive to July 11, and he remains shut down from throwing for the time being.
