The Orioles claimed Hamel off waivers from the Mets on Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

A third-round selection in 2021 out of Dallas Baptist, Hamel was moved from a starting role to a relief role this year at Triple-A and made his big-league debut, logging one scoreless inning Wednesday against the Padres before being designated for assignment. Hamel had a 4.61 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 39:13 K:BB in 41 innings out of the Triple-A Syracuse bullpen.

Scholtens was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Scholtens, who was claimed off waivers by Tampa Bay on Aug. 4 after he was designated for assignment by the White Sox, has a 4.13 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 43:9 K:BB in 32.2 innings across seven starts for the Bulls. The 31-year-old righty hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023, when he logged a 5.29 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 85 innings for the White Sox. He'll likely work as a low-leverage reliever capable of getting more than three outs.

The White Sox Sox" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" data-league-abbreviation="MLB" data-team-abbreviation="CHW">White Sox reinstated White (hip) from the injured list Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.

A right hip impingement has kept White on the shelf since mid-August. He began a rehab assignment in Triple-A on Aug. 28 and has since given up just two runs over 11.2 innings while striking out nine batters and walking five. Now fully healthy, he'll stay put in the minors, although the White Sox could promote him during the final week of the regular season to give their bullpen a fresh arm.

Kelly recorded his second save of the season in Friday's 4-3 win over the Pirates, giving up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning without striking out a batter.

The right-hander made things interesting, giving up a leadoff double and then escaping a one-out jam with runners on the corners by getting Tommy Pham to ground into a double play. Kelly has two of the A's four saves this week, with Hogan Harris collecting the other two, and the two arms appear to be manager Mark Kotsay's top ninth-inning options as the season draws to a close, depending on matchups. Over 7.1 innings in September, Kelly sports a 2.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB.

Akin earned the save in Friday's 4-2 win over the Yankees, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Akin was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and did so on just nine pitches. The 30-year-old has enjoyed a strong September, converting all five of his save chances while allowing only two earned runs over nine outings. For the season, he's posted a 3.10 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 58:31 K:BB with 16 holds and eight saves across 61 innings.

Taylor struck out two in a clean inning to pick up the save in Friday's 4-3 win versus the Padres.

With this 12-pitch effort, Taylor notched his first save since Aug. 10 to make a mess out of the White Sox closer situation again. Jordan Leasure (three saves) and Mike Vasil (one save) had previously tallied the other four saves for the Chicago bullpen this month. Although Taylor pitched to a 9.31 ERA, 2.17 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB in five innings across seven appearances and nursed a groin injury since his last save, he apparently still has his manager's trust. Leasure, who pitched 1.2 scoreless frames in this contest after entering in the seventh, likely remains the favorite to garner future save chances for the White Sox, but it's apparent Vasil and Taylor will still see opportunities here and there.

The Rangers designated Edwards for assignment Friday.

Edwards will surrender his spot on the 40-man roster to make room for Tyler Mahle (shoulder), who was activated from the 60-day IL on Friday. Edwards, 34, has given up three earned runs in six MLB innings this season and carries a 5.31 ERA through 39 frames at Triple-A Round Rock.

The Tigers optioned Horn to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Horn has given up just one run in 5.1 innings since joining the big-league squad Sept. 2, lowering his ERA in the majors to 1.59 through 11.1 frames. Despite his strong performance, he'll be pushed back to the minor leagues by Kyle Finnegan (groin), who returned from the injured list Friday.

The Tigers reinstated Finnegan (groin) from the injured list Friday.

Finnegan has sat out the entire month of September while dealing with a right groin strain. He made one rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, striking out one batter and walking another over two-thirds of an inning, and he now has the green light to return to Detroit's bullpen. The 34-year-old righty has pitched 14.1 shutout frames with a 19:3 K:BB since joining the Tigers at the trade deadline and could get save opportunities down the stretch.

The Astros transferred Ort (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Friday.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the return of Isaac Paredes (hamstring). Ort had already been ruled out for the rest of the regular season with right elbow inflammation.
