Ortiz had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Ortiz, the headliner in the Jonathan Schoop trade, needed to be added to the Orioles' 40-man roster in the offseason regardless for Rule 5 protection. The 22-year-old posted a combined 3.70 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 99.2 innings with Double-A Biloxi and Triple-A Norfolk. He figures to work out of the bullpen down the stretch.

Hauschild was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Hauschild was removed from the 40-man roster so the Jays could select Jonathan Davis' contract. The 28-year-old has a 4.32 ERA in 8.1 innings for Toronto this season and a 4.90 ERA in 23 starts at the Triple-A level with Fresno and Buffalo.

Lawrence was recalled by Seattle on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old has pitched 17.1 innings for the Mariners this season, getting knocked around for an 8.31 ERA. He'll be a low-leverage relief arm for the Mariners down the stretch.

Colome recorded his 25th hold in a win over the Orioles on Monday, firing a scoreless eighth inning in which he allowed a hit and recorded a strikeout.

Colome has been a mostly reliable setup option for manager Scott Servais, although he's prone to the occasional blowup. The 29-year-old had just allowed four runs (three earned) against the Athletics on Saturday, and he'd also been touched up for a pair of earned runs against the Dodgers on Aug. 18. However, Colome has settled in otherwise since the calendar flipped to July -- even factoring in the aforementioned hiccups, he's posted a 1.82 ERA, .217 BAA, 1.09 WHIP, 92.4 percent strand rate and 30.0 percent strikeout rate over the 24.2 innings encompassing his last 24 appearances.

Harvey (shoulder) will remain shut down for one more week before resuming a throwing program, MASN Sports reports.

Harvey has been out since early June with a shoulder injury. He suffered a pair of setbacks in August, first with forearm stiffness and then with elbow tendinitis. Injuries are nothing new for the 23-year-old, who hasn't made more than nine starts in a season since 2014. The minor-league playoffs will be over by the time Harvey is ready for game action, so he'll have plenty of time to rest his arm before spring training.

Manager Bob Melvin told MLB Network Radio that Manaea (shoulder) started strengthening exercises Monday.

Manaea has been on the shelf since Aug. 26 with rotator cuff tendinitis. While the southpaw seemingly turned a corner Monday, Melvin noted that he still has a long way to go in his rehab and ultimately may not return this season. "It's still kind of dicey whether or not we're going to get him back," said the manager. "I said it was probably 50/50 several days ago, I don't know that it's any better than that at this point."

Palumbo was scratched from Monday's start for Double-A Frisco due to fatigue, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

The left-handed Palumbo is recovering from Tommy John elbow surgery and will continue that recovery in the instructional league.

Beeks is slated to work as the Rays' primary pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

For the second straight day, the Rays will turn to Ryne Stanek as their opening pitcher, but he'll likely be limited to around one inning before turning things over to Beeks. The left-handed rookie endured a bumpy debut with the Rays on July 28, but since then, he has performed exceptionally in the unconventional bullpen role. Beeks has covered at least three innings in each of his last six outings, posting a 2.63 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over that span.

Stanek will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Stanek was the Rays' lead pitcher for Monday's series-opening win, tossing a 1-2-3 first inning before giving way to Yonny Chirinos for the next seven frames. It's expected that Stanek will be capped at around one inning again Tuesday, with Jalen Beeks set to follow him as the Rays' primary pitcher.

Jurado pitched four shutout innings, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out one as he didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Angels.

Jurado entered the game in the third inning after Jeffrey Springs opened the contest. Jurado worked efficiently as a long reliever, tossing 34 of 54 pitches for strikes. The 22-year-old had struggled entering the series opener, owning a 6.69 ERA through seven starts (35 innings), so perhaps he'll manage to build off this successful performance and continue to turn things around in his next outing.
