The Diamondbacks traded Patrick to the Athletics on Monday in exchange for Jace Peterson and cash considerations.

Patrick has spent all season in Double-A and holds a 4.71 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 91.2 innings across 19 starts. The 24-year-old righty can strike out batters at a decent rate, but his struggles with command have impacted his ability to limit baserunners. Patrick still has a lot of work to do before he'll be able to contribute at the major-league level.

Bautista walked two batters over 1.2 scoreless innings Monday, striking out three and earning a save over the Blue Jays.

Bautista tossed a season-high 35 pitches while picking up his 29th save. He was unbelievable in July, firing 14 shutout frames with a 25:4 K:BB while allowing just three hits. His season ERA is down to 0.87 with a 101:21 K:BB across 51.2 innings. Bautista hasn't given up an earned run since his last blown save June 24.

The Mariners recalled Then from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Then has had a rough season in the minors, accumulating a 13.19 ERA and 2.91 WHIP across 14.1 innings. Fortunately, he's been much more effective in the bigs, but he figures to primarily see action during low-leverage situations while in Seattle.

Jacques was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

He was sent to Triple-A just a few days ago but was summoned back to take the place of Joely Rodriguez, who was placed on the injured list with a hip issue. Jacques has a 4.86 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 13 strikeouts in 16.2 innings across 14 appearances this season.

Rodriguez was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with right hip inflammation.

Rodriguez had a streak of six straight appearances without giving up a run, striking out nine over seven innings across that stretch. Joe Jacques was recalled to take Rodriguez's place in the bullpen.

Francis was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

The 27-year-old righty has a 2.63 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 13.2 innings across six relief appearances this season. He had been working as a starter at Triple-A but should operate in low-leverage situations while up with the big club.

Jackson was placed on the family medical emergency list Monday.

Jackson must be on the bereavement list for at least three days an no more than seven days. Bowden Francis was recalled to take his place in the bullpen in the short term.

Silseth will start Monday's game in Atlanta, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Silseth was squeezed out of the Angels' six-man rotation after the acquisition of Lucas Giolito last week, but the young right-hander will end up getting a spot start Monday after Griffin Canning was scratched due to general soreness. Canning is optimistic that he'll be ready to go when his next turn through the rotation comes up this weekend, so Silseth could head back to the bullpen immediately after Monday's start. Silseth holds a 4.44 ERA and 1.48 WHIP over 24.1 innings this season and won't make for a reliable streaming option Monday in a road matchup versus a talented Atlanta offense.

Gage was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The 30-year-old lefty has a 1.83 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 20 strikeouts in 19.2 frames in the big leagues, but he has been up and down between the majors and minors this season. Look for Gage to work in low-leverage situations.

The Astros designated Taylor for assignment Monday.

Houston opted to swap Taylor off its 40-man roster in favor of another reliever in right-hander Jake Cousins (shoulder), whom the team claimed off waivers from the Brewers on Monday before activating him from the 15-day injured list and optioning him to Triple-A Sugar Land. Should he go unclaimed after hitting waivers himself, Taylor will likely stick around in the organization and join Cousins in the Sugar Land bullpen. Taylor made 92 appearances out of the Houston bullpen across the past three seasons but has pitched exclusively at the Triple-A level in 2023, submitting a 5.15 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 25:22 K:BB in 36.2 innings.
