Curry will start Friday against the White Sox, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

As long as Cleveland is able to avoid using Curry during Thursday's contest, the 25-year-old righty is now set to make his third start of the season. Curry holds a 2.98 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through 54.1 innings across 26 appearances, though he hasn't pitched more than three innings since April.

Davidson was designated for assignment Thursday, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

New acquisition Reynaldo Lopez has officially been activated for the Angels' second game of Thursday's doubleheader versus the Tigers, so roster space needed to be created. Davidson has put up a 6.54 ERA and 31:11 K:BB over 31.2 innings in a long relief role this season.

The Tigers promoted Wingenter from Triple-A Toledo to serve as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Angels.

Wingenter hasn't performed very well in the majors this season, putting up an 8.31 ERA and 1.62 WHIP through 4.1 innings, and he has similar numbers in the minors as well. The 29-year-old righty will almost certainly return to Toledo after the end of Game 2.

Peralta was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The White Sox need some roster reinforcements following the Lucas Giolito/Reynaldo Lopez trade. Peralta, 25, made one appearance with the big club earlier this season and holds a 5.34 ERA and 60:18 K:BB over 59 innings this year at Charlotte.

Peralta earned a hold over the Mets on Wednesday with a perfect inning of work during which he struck out two batters.

Peralta handled the seventh inning with ease for New York, punching out the first two hitters he faced and retiring the side in order on 15 pitches. The southpaw spent some time closing in mid-May but has primarily worked as the Yankees' top setup man this season, securing a team-high 14 holds while compiling four saves, three wins, a 2.31 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP and a 32:21 K:BB over 39 innings. Peralta is two holds shy of his career-high mark set in 2017 as a member of the Reds.

Sandlin (5-3) allowed a run on two hits and struck out one over one inning to pick up the win Wednesday over the Royals.

Sandlin worked the fifth inning after starter Gavin Williams was inefficient over four scoreless frames (87 pitches). While Sandlin has struggled lately, giving up six runs over his last four innings, he's picked up two holds and a win in that span. He's at a 3.63 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 43:14 K:BB through 39.2 innings while continuing to fill a versatile role in the Guardians' bullpen.

Jackson (elbow) began a rehab assignment with Low-A Stockton on Wednesday.

Jackson struck out a pair in a perfect inning in his first game action in more than two months. The reliever should move up to a higher affiliate soon and wouldn't appear far off from rejoining the Athletics' bullpen.

Joyce (elbow) was transferred Thursday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

This is a procedural move to clear out a 40-man roster spot following the Angels' trade Wednesday for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez. Joyce has been out since June 10 and will be sidelined through at least mid-August due to ulnar neuritis in his right elbow.

Weiss was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday and will serve as the Angels' 27th man for the team's doubleheader with the Tigers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Weiss will be available only for the second game and will presumably be returned to Salt Lake prior to the Angels' weekend series in Toronto. He's previously made five relief appearances with Los Angeles this season, logging a 3.86 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 4.2 innings.

Voth (elbow) will move up to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday as he continues his rehab assignment, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Voth has been out since mid-June with right elbow discomfort but seems to be nearing a return. The 31-year-old has collected a 4.94 ERA over 23 relief appearances with the Orioles this season.
