Harvey was transferred to the 60-day injured list with a right triceps strain Tuesday.

Harvey initially landed on the 10-day injured list with a right lat strain in early July, but he's now dealing with a triceps strain. Since he's already been on the injured list for over two months, Tuesday's move to the 60-day IL won't have an impact on his return timetable. Once the 26-year-old is deemed fully healthy, he'll likely remain at Triple-A Norfolk.

Hatch could be recalled to pitch in Saturday's doubleheader in Baltimore, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

He has a 5.23 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 37:5 K:BB in 32.2 innings over his last six starts at Triple-A. Hatch could have a bright future, but given his recent performance and the location of this potential start, it would be best to take a wait-and-see approach in redraft leagues.

Lopez (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

The pitcher suffered a sprained ankle Monday and it seems likely the injury will end his season. Mike Baumann was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to replace Lopez as a bulk reliever.

Burdi was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Burdi spent just over a week in the major-league bullpen but made only one appearance during his time with the Orioles. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out one in one inning against the Royals on Monday. Burdi will head back to the minors as part of a series of moves to provide fresh arms to the bullpen.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Lopez suffered a "significant" sprain in his right ankle that could end his season, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Lopez exited Monday's relief outing due to right ankle pain, and further evaluations revealed a serious injury. The right-hander appears to be heading to the 10-day injured list, and he might not have enough time to recover in time to return in 2021 with just under a month remaining in the regular season. Right-hander Mike Baumann was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday to take on a bullpen role.

Baumann's role in the majors will be as a bulk reliever, at least initially, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

He is one of Baltimore's top pitching prospects, and while they are not penciling him into the rotation, Baumann could piggyback Alexander Wells on Tuesday. Baumann has the stuff to be quality big-league starter, but he logged walk rates of 11.1 percent and 12.0 percent at Double-A and Triple-A, respectively. Shaky command and a bad home ballpark are the two obvious drawbacks for fantasy.

Moll was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

He has not allowed a run across four appearances in the majors this season, sporting a 4:4 K:BB in 4.2 innings. Frankie Montas (visa issues) was activated from the restricted list in a corresponding move.

Baumann was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Baumann is one of the top pitching prospects in the Orioles organization, and he'll join the major-league roster for the first time following an effective showing at the Triple-A level. The righty was promoted to Norfolk at the end of July and posted a 2.00 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 27 innings across six starts. Baumann has worked exclusively as a starter this year, but the Orioles haven't yet announced whether he'll begin his major-league career as a starter or reliever.

Warren (COVID-19 protocols) is back with the Angels but hasn't yet been activated, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Warren recently spent 10 days in Baltimore while on the COVID-19-related injured list, but he has apparently cleared protocols and is now back with the club. Fellow pitchers Reid Detmers and Jose Marte also recently rejoined the team after landing on the COVID-19-related IL, but it isn't clear when any of the trio will be activated.

Armstrong fired two scoreless frames in an extra-inning win over the Red Sox on Monday, allowing one hit while recording two strikeouts.

The veteran right-hander has been a valuable addition to the Rays' bullpen since arriving in Tampa Bay at the trade deadline, posting a 1-0 record, one hold, a 2.57 ERA and 0.71 WHIP across the 14 innings covering his nine Rays appearances. Armstrong has four straight scoreless outings as well and has already worked more than one inning in six of his trips to the mound with his new club.
