The Orioles transferred Voth (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Monday.

Voth had been on the 15-day IL since June 14, so his move to the 60-day IL ensures he won't be activated until mid-August. The 31-year-old right-hander started up a minor-league rehab assignment July 20, so he'll likely take close to the entire 30-day window to get stretched back out before making his return to the Baltimore bullpen. Voth's move to the 60-day IL clears a spot on the 40-man roster for reliever Jacob Webb, whom the Orioles claimed off waivers from the Angels on Monday.

The Orioles claimed Webb off waivers from the Angels on Monday.

Webb, who turns 30 later this month, had a 3.98 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and a 34:20 K:BB in 31.2 innings for the Angels this season before getting designated for assignment over the weekend. He's out of minor-league options, so he will assume a low-leverage role once he is able to join the Orioles in Baltimore for this week's series against the Astros.

Stewart (elbow) played catch from 60-to-75 feet Saturday and is slowly working to a bullpen progression, MLB.com reports.

Stewart experienced a setback with his elbow following a bullpen session July 29 and was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday. On a more fortunate note, Stewart hasn't been shut down from throwing entirely following his setback, though the Twins plan on bringing him along more slowly this time around. Twins bench coach Jayce Tingler said Friday that Stewart could be activated in four weeks if all goes well during the rehab process, meaning the right-hander likely won't be back with the big club until around early or mid-September.

Peralta was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

He's clearing out to make room in the bullpen for Brent Honeywell, who was claimed off waivers from the Padres. Peralta had made four scoreless appearances in his most recent stint with the big club.

Perez (4-1) walked one but didn't allow a hit or a run over 1.1 innings to earn the win Sunday over the Mets.

Perez has steadied himself since the All-Star break, allowing three runs over 7.1 innings while picking up a save and two wins. The southpaw still has mediocre ratios for the year with a 4.30 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 29:22 K:BB while picking up eight holds over 37.2 innings. Perez will likely continue to serve as more of a middle reliever for an Orioles bullpen that sports a 3.55 ERA collectively, fourth-best in the majors.

Crochet said July 29 that he was diagnosed with a left shoulder strain after being pulled off his rehab assignment and expects to remain shut down for 2-to-3 weeks before he resumes a throwing program at the White Sox's spring training facility in Arizona, MLB.com reports. "I just want to take this comeback slow and don't want to rush anything. I still plan to pitch at some point at the end of the year," Crochet said.

Crochet was initially forced to the 15-day injured list June 20 with what the White Sox labeled as shoulder inflammation, and he looked as though he would have a chance to return in early August after he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment following the All-Star break. However, he never ended up making any appearances in the minors after feeling soreness in his shoulder July 21 before he was diagnosed with a more significant injury. Since he's unlikely to resume throwing until at least the middle of August and is expected to be built up slowly, Crochet probably won't be an option in the White Sox bullpen until early September, in a best-case scenario. The timing of Crochet's injury is particularly inconvenient, as he may have been in the mix for saves for the White Sox in the wake of closer Liam Hendricks undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery.

Snead (1-0) recorded the win over the Giants on Sunday, firing a perfect sixth inning during which he struck out the side.

Snead mowed through Austin Slater, J.D. Davis and Michael Conforto on swinging strikes for his trio of punchouts. The left-hander had allowed an earned run on two hits in both of his one-inning appearances following his delayed start to the season, so Sunday's outing, his third since his Aug. 1 debut, was easily his best yet.

Englert (hip) has thrown three bullpen sessions since landing on the 15-day injured list July 24, MLB.com reports.

Though Englert isn't on track to return from the IL on Monday when first eligible, he at least hasn't been shut down from throwing as he works his way back from a sore left hip. Assuming he checked out fine after his most recent bullpen session Saturday, Englert could be cleared to face hitters early this week before potentially reporting to a minor-league affiliate for a brief rehab assignment.

Saucedo (3-1) got the extra-inning win against the Angels on Sunday, firing two perfect innings during which he recorded three strikeouts.

With both Andres Munoz and Matt Brash unavailable due to recent usage, manager Scott Servais entrusted Saucedo with preserving a 2-2 tie. The left-hander could hardly have been more effective, firing 18 of his 25 pitches for strikes and generating six swings and misses overall. Saucedo has been on an extended stretch of impressive pitching, as he last allowed a run back on July 18 and sports a 1-0 record, 0.61 ERA, Sunday's win and a pair of holds over the 14.2 innings covering his last 14 appearances.

May tossed a perfect inning and earned a save over San Francisco on Sunday.

May threw 11 of 13 pitches for strikes to quickly finish off the 8-6 win. He's turned in 6.2 consecutive shutout frames, converting five of six save chances during that stretch. The 33-year-old has 11 saves with a 4.15 ERA through 30.1 innings this season.
