Zych is part of the Yankees' taxi squad for their current road trip, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Zych hasn't pitched in the majors since 2017, when he posted a 2.66 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 40.2 innings for Seattle. The right-hander has been working out at New York's alternate training site but could get a chance to contribute to the big-league squad if the need for a bullpen arm arises.

Canterino was added to the Twins' 60-man roster Saturday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Canterino was the Twins' second-round pick in the 2019 first-year player draft, and he'll get to finish the season at the alternate training site for developmental purposes. It's highly unlikely that he'll be considered for a major-league roster spot in 2020.

Fulmer was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Saturday.

Fulmer was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Wednesday after he failed to make an appearance with the team. He's out of major-league options, so he'll join the 28-man roster upon his addition and should play a lower-leverage role in the bullpen.

Phillips was optioned to the Orioles' alternate training site Saturday.

Phillips pitched effectively during his most recent stint with the major-league club as he tossed 3.1 scoreless innings with three strikeouts over three appearances. He'll continue to develop at the alternate training site but could return to the major-league bullpen if injuries occur.

Giles (forearm) was transferred to the Blue Jays' 45-day injured list Saturday, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Giles' move to the 45-day IL is simply procedural as he'll still be eligible to return as early as Sept. 10. The right-hander has made good progress while recovering from a strained flexor mass in his right forearm, although a specific timetable for his return still hasn't been established.

Bummer (biceps) was transferred to the 45-day injured list Saturday.

Bummer will shift to the 45-day IL to clear a spot on the 40-man roster as he deals with a nerve issue near his biceps. The southpaw could still return prior to the end of the season, but his status depends on how the nerve issue responds to his throwing program.

Perez was optioned to the Astros' alternate training site Saturday, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Perez allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings Friday, and he'll return to alternate camp following the outing. The southpaw pitched effectively with the Astros during his time with the club and could return to the major-league bullpen at some point in 2020.

Peters will serve as the 29th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros.

Peters will provide an extra arm for the Angels during Saturday's twin bill but should return to the team's alternate training site following the two games. The southpaw has yet to appear in the majors in 2020.

Abreu was optioned to the Yankees' alternate training site Saturday.

Abreu hasn't seen much action out of the Yankees' bullpen this season as he struggled during two appearances. He'll presumably get more consistent work at alternate camp and could return to the majors in a low-leverage capacity later in the season. Gleyber Torres (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Garcia was returned to the Yankees' alternate training site following Friday's doubleheader.

Garcia was charged with the loss during his start in Friday's nightcap as he allowed four runs over 4.2 innings against the Orioles. He has a 3.38 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 10.2 innings this year and could return to the Yankees' pitching staff at some point this season.
