Red Sox's Luis Garcia: Placed on injured list
The Red Sox placed Garcia on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right elbow inflammation, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Since joining the Red Sox in late July, Garcia has allowed 13 earned runs in just 11.1 innings out of the bullpen, and he'll now be held out of action for at least the next 15 days. Josh Winckowski was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to fill the open roster spot.

Caleb Boushley RP | TB
Twins' Caleb Boushley: Contract selected
The Twins selected Boushley's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
After pushing Trevor Richards off the 40-man roster, the Twins will now call upon Boushley to fill the open spot in their bullpen. The 30-year-old has allowed two earned runs over two innings in the big leagues this season, and he owns a 4.97 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 116 innings (22 starts) in the minors. He'll presumably serve as a long reliever while with the Twins.

Greg Weissert RP | BOS
Red Sox's Greg Weissert: Back in majors
The Red Sox recalled Weissert from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Weissert was just sent down this past Friday but is back to take the spot of the injured Lucas Sims (lat). The right-hander has collected a 4.10 ERA and 49:18 K:BB over 48.1 frames out of the Red Sox' bullpen this season.

Brad Keller RP | PHI
Red Sox's Brad Keller: Booted from 40-man roster
The Red Sox designated Keller for assignment Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Keller coughed up five runs (three earned) over four innings in an extended relief appearance Monday versus the Blue Jays. He wasn't going to be available for at least a couple days, so the Red Sox have elected to summon another reliever in his spot.

Lucas Sims RP | CHW
Red Sox's Lucas Sims: Placed on IL with lat strain
The Red Sox placed Sims on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lat strain, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
Sims has been terrible since being acquired at the trade deadline, surrendering nine runs with a 7:7 K:BB over 10 innings. Now he will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks, and in all likelihood, longer.

Anthony Gose RP | NYM
Guardians' Anthony Gose: Back on 26-man roster
The Guardians selected Gose's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.
Gose was designated for assignment for the second time in August on Wednesday but inked a minor-league deal with the Guardians on Saturday and will rejoin the active roster. The 34-year-old allowed two runs in his lone appearance with the Guardians this season and has logged a 3.46 ERA across 39 innings for Columbus. Logan Allen was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Prelander Berroa RP | CHW
White Sox's Prelander Berroa: Recalled Tuesday
The White Sox recalled Berroa from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
The right-hander was sent to Charlotte in early August but will rejoin the big-league bullpen after John Brebbia was designated for assignment. Berroa has made just three appearances in the majors this season and has largely struggled at Triple-A with a 6.60 ERA and 49:35 K:BB over 46.1 innings.

John Brebbia RP | COL
White Sox's John Brebbia: Designated for assignment
The White Sox designated Brebbia for assignment Tuesday, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
The veteran right-hander filled a high-leverage role for Chicago this season and recorded two saves and 13 holds, but he hadn't been particularly effective with a 6.29 ERA in 54 outings. Brebbia posted a sub-4.00 ERA in five of his six MLB campaigns entering the season, so he could receive some interest from other teams.

Matt Moore RP | BOS
Angels' Matt Moore: Goes on IL with forearm injury
The Angels placed Moore on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left forearm strain.
Moore had to be lifted from an appearance Sunday versus the Blue Jays due to the injury. He will be sidelined for at least the next two weeks and potentially longer. Ryan Miller is taking Moore's spot on the Angels' roster.

Michael Tonkin RP | MIN
Twins' Michael Tonkin: Heads back to Minnesota
The Twins claimed Tonkin off waivers from the Yankees on Tuesday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Tonkin will begin his third stint with the Twins and second this season, after he made one appearance for Minnesota back in April before being booted from the 40-man roster. The right-hander had allowed eight runs over his final 7.2 innings with the Yankees but pitched well for them overall with a 3.37 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 57:21 K:BB in 56 innings. He'll be used in middle relief by Minnesota.
