The Tigers optioned Diaz to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

The move corresponds with the Tigers activating Keider Montero (personal) from the paternity list. In three outings since being recalled by Detroit on Aug. 31, Diaz has allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three across 4.1 innings.

The Orioles optioned Hiraldo to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Hiraldo was just recalled from Norfolk on Sunday and threw 49 pitches in Sunday's 8-1 loss to the Blue Jays, surrendering four runs on two hits and four walks. Codi Heuer has been recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The Orioles recalled Heuer from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Heuer was acquired from Milwaukee for cash last month after he was dealt from Cleveland to the Brewers just three days prior. The right-hander posted a 4.66 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB across 9.2 innings of relief with the Guardians this season.

The Blue Jays optioned Tiedemann to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Tiedemann made his MLB debut last month and has appeared in five games with the Blue Jays this season, allowing one run on five hits and six walks with eight strikeouts across six innings of relief.

The Blue Jays recalled Cellucci from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Toronto optioned Ricky Tiedemann in a corresponding move. Cellucci will be looking to make his MLB debut after he didn't appear in a game during his 48-hour stay with the Blue Jays last month. He owns a 3.16 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 55:25 K:BB across 51.1 innings of relief at Triple-A this season.

The Royals optioned McGee to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

He'll be replaced on the roster and in the bullpen by Lucas Erceg. McGee had been scored up in two out of his previous three appearances for the Royals.

The Royals recalled Erceg from Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

Erceg was sent down one month ago and logged a 1.74 ERA and 13:3 K:BB over 10.1 frames covering nine appearances with Omaha. The 31-year-old has had a disastrous season with the Royals, posting a 6.23 ERA and 31:29 K:BB over 43.1 innings, but will aim to finish on a high note.

Latz picked up the save Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed two runs on three hits and an intentional walk while striking out one over one inning.

Tasked with protecting a three-run lead, Latz played with fire by surrendering a pair of RBI doubles, though he ultimately shut the door and secured the victory. Sunday marked the southpaw's second save of September and 29th of the campaign in 32 attempts. Latz owns a strong 2.06 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 73:21 K:BB over 65.2 frames.

Munoz (5-6) blew the save and took the loss Sunday against the Athletics. He allowed two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.

With a one-run cushion, Munoz recorded a pair of outs in the eighth inning but was unable to secure the victory in the ninth frame, serving up a walk-off two-run homer to Lawrence Butler. Sunday marked the hard-throwing right-hander's 10th blown save, as he's endured a down 2026 campaign. In 55 innings, Munoz owns a 4.25 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 86:23 K:BB with 27 saves.

Chapman worked around two walks to earn the save Sunday against the Royals, striking out three in a hitless and scoreless ninth inning.

Chapman let the possible tying run get to the plate following a pair of free passes, but he punched out three in a row to hang on for the save. The star southpaw continues to roll, having not blown a save since June 28 against the Yankees. He has a 1.95 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 68:23 K:BB over 50.2 innings, collecting 34 saves in 36 opportunities.
