Clase had his contract selected from Double-A Frisco on Friday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Clase will be in line to make his major-league debut after posting a 3.35 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with a 39:8 K:BB over 37.2 innings this season at Double-A. Kyle Bird was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

Beeks is scheduled to work as the primary pitcher Saturday versus the Marlins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Beeks' previous start came last Saturday against the Blue Jays when he allowed one run across four innings. The 26-year-old will follow opener Diego Castillo and has a 3.61 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 59:27 K:BB over 72.1 innings.

Sadzeck flew to Dallas to have his elbow examined after experiencing a setback, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Sadzeck has been on the injured list since June 4 due to right elbow inflammation, and he's yet to resume throwing off a mound. It's unclear what this latest setback means for the right-hander's timetable, though he certainly doesn't appear close to being reinstated.

Johnson (illness) has been confirmed as the starting pitcher for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Johnson is set to make a spot start for the Red Sox after spending time on the shelf due to an intestinal issue. He'll likely move back to the bullpen following Saturday's outing.

Peters won't start Friday's game at Cleveland but will follow an opener, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Peters was expected to work as a traditional starter Friday, but he'll instead work behind opener Taylor Cole. Peters has a 3.06 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB through 17.2 innings this season.

Maton was called up from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

Maton was acquired by the Indians from the Padres in mid-July and is set to make his big-league debut with his new organization. The 26-year-old had a 7.77 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB over 24.1 innings with the Friars prior to the trade.

Mengden was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Mengden is the odd man out with the Athletics adding Tanner Roark at the deadline. He wasn't terrible during his time on the roster, but his 4.85 ERA and 16.8 percent strikeout rate in 55.2 innings were each far from impressive. He remains one of the top options to return to the rotation if a gap opens up.

Peters is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Indians.

Peters re-entered the rotation last weekend for a home start versus Baltimore but didn't impress, working only four innings and giving up five runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks. Despite the underwhelming outing, Peters will get another chance to start with the Angels still requiring a replacement in the rotation for the injured Andrew Heaney (shoulder).

Rogers struck out the side during the ninth but allowed the Marlins to tie the game and force extra innings during a loss Tuesday.

Rogers entered the game with the bases loaded and no outs while the Twins were clinging to a two-run lead and allowed two inherited runners to score on a single, but then he struck out the side while mixing in an intentional walk against the next four batters. All of his numbers improved except his WHIP, but Rogers now has six blown saves versus 16 saves this season. He also owns a 2.15 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 65 strikeouts in 50.1 innings.

Hendriks picked up the save against the Brewers on Thursday, tossing a scoreless ninth inning without allowing a baserunner to close out a 5-3 win for the Athletics. He struck out two.

The All-Star had blown saves in three of his last four appearances, but he was able to bounce back with a clean effort in this contest and pick up his 10th save of the season in 14 opportunities. He seems to have kept his grasp on the closer role for the time being, but he could start to cede opportunities to Blake Treinen if he hits another prolonged rough patch.
