The Astros recalled Santa from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

It's a well-deserved return to the big leagues for Santa, who posted a 0.71 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB across 12.2 frames in his first taste of the majors earlier this year. He should fill a low-leverage relief role while up with Houston.

The White Sox announced Saturday that Berroa (elbow) will start throwing again in 1-to-2 weeks, MLB.com reports.

After recovering from his March 7, 2025 Tommy John surgery, Berroa began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on May 13 but threw just four pitches in that appearance before being shut down due to right elbow inflammation. The 26-year-old has seemingly responded well to treating the injury with rest and rehab over the past two months and will soon begin ramping up his throwing. Berroa is unlikely to be an option for the White Sox bullpen until August.

Akin will receive a second opinion on his injured left elbow from Dr. Keith Meister next week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Akin landed on the 15-day injured list in late June with soreness in his pitching elbow. It seems he could be looking at an extended absence, but more will be known following his visit with Dr. Meister.

Helsley will solicit a second opinion on his injured right elbow, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The Orioles have not revealed the initial prognosis, but Helsley will seek out another evaluation before making a decision as to the next course of action. Helsley missed seven weeks of action with right elbow inflammation earlier this season and landed back on the IL this past Friday with more elbow trouble. The Orioles could have more information on Helsley's status later this week. Tyler Wells has notched two straight saves for Baltimore since Helsley was injured.

The Orioles recalled Raquet from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.

Raquet has logged three appearances for the Orioles this season, giving up three runs with a 1:2 K:BB. The left-hander will give the club a fresh bullpen arm as it opens a series Tuesday versus the Cubs.

The Twins selected Go's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

Go was acquired via trade from the Tigers on Sunday and is reporting directly to the major-league roster. The Korean reliever holds a 1.96 ERA and 54:13 K:BB over 41.1 innings between the Double- and Triple-A levels this season. Go -- who turns 28 in August -- will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

Miles will start Tuesday's game against the Giants, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Miles will be making his third start of the season in what will be his first appearance since last Wednesday, when he fired three scoreless innings as a bulk reliever to pick up a win against the Mets. The 25-year-old may have trouble pitching deep enough to qualify for a possible victory in San Francisco since he hasn't thrown more than 40 pitches in an appearance since early June, but he should still be able to provide Toronto with a few frames to begin the game. Patrick Corbin worked behind Miles in last Wednesday's matchup with the Mets and could do so again Tuesday.

Scholtens (wrist) is scheduled to pitch three innings in a rehab appearance Tuesday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, MLB.com reports.

A right wrist strain has shelved Scholtens since late May, but the right-hander is gearing up for a return at some point after the All-Star break. Given that the Rays are having him open his rehab assignment with a three-inning appearance, Scholtens looks as though he could be getting stretched out for a starting role, though he won't necessarily have a rotation spot waiting for him once he's activated. Scholtens made two starts and seven relief appearances for Tampa Bay prior to landing on the injured list, posting a 3.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB in 37.2 innings.

The Blue Jays placed Fisher (personal) on the bereavement list Monday.

Fisher will be away from the team while tending to a personal matter. The righty reliever has posted a 3.33 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 46:21 K:BB while gathering three wins, eight holds and one save across 46 innings this season.

The Twins optioned Laweryson to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

A corresponding move has yet to be announced, but the Twins' decision to option Laweryson comes after Minnesota acquired Woo-suk Go from Detroit. Go is expected to be added to Minnesota's 26-man roster prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Guardians, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Laweryson has appeared in 15 games out of the Minnesota bullpen this season, posting a 4.86 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, one save and an 18:8 K:BB across 16.2 innings.
