Crowe was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

He didn't fare well in 31 innings with the big club earlier this year (7.26 ERA, 1.77 WHIP), and he logged a single clean inning in his lone appearance at Triple-A on June 8. Typically a starter by trade, perhaps the Pirates are transitioning him into a relief role. However, Mitch Keller was optioned Saturday, so there is a vacant spot in the rotation.

White was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

White made five relief appearances during his latest stint with the Dodgers, allowing five runs (four earned) in six innings of work. Andy Burns was called up in a corresponding move.

Santillan was recalled by the Reds on Saturday.

Santillan is expected to start Sunday against the Rockies for his big-league debut. He's gotten off to an excellent start for Triple-A Louisville, recording a 2.51 ERA and 34.4 percent strikeout rate through six starts.

Cabrera (1-2) took the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Cubs on Friday, allowing two earned runs on three hits over one-third of an inning. He struck out one.

Cabrera got himself into immediate trouble upon entering in the seventh, allowing two of the first three hitters to reach safely before yielding a two-run double to Joc Pederson. Friday's stumble is an extension of what has been a clear rough patch for the left-hander, as he's now allowed five runs (four earned) across the 3.2 innings covering his last four appearances.

Machado's contract was selected from Triple-A Rochester prior to Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants.

He has a 0.96 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 12 strikeouts in 9.1 innings over seven appearances at Triple-A. Daniel Hudson (elbow inflammation) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Hudson was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right elbow inflammation.

The move is retroactive to June 10. Hudson has a 3.60 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 10 strikeouts in five innings over four appearances this month. He has a long history of elbow injuries, including two Tommy John surgeries. Tanner Rainey will step into a setup role in front of closer Brad Hand.

Bass retired the only batter he faced to end the seventh inning Friday, recording his ninth hold of the season in a win over Atlanta.

Entering with two outs and the tying run at third base, Bass got Ozzie Albies to fly out and end the threat. The veteran right-hander has looked much more comfortable in a setup role than he did at the beginning of the year as Miami's closer -- since picking up his first hold May 6, Bass has a 2.08 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB over 13 innings.

Hader allowed a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Friday, striking out two and earning a save over the Pirates.

Hader allowed a single to Bryan Reynolds but still locked down his 15th save in as many chances. The 27-year-old southpaw lowered his season ERA to 0.73 and hasn't given up a run since May 16.

Garcia allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Friday, striking out two and earning a save over Atlanta.

Garcia coughed up a leadoff single to Pablo Sandoval and issued a two-out walk to Ozzie Albies but still managed to convert his 11th save of the season. He lowered his season ERA to 2.42 with a 25:8 K:BB. The 30-year-old righty is 11 for 14 in save chances and has turned in three straight scoreless outings after blowing back-to-back chances earlier this month.

Diaz allowed a hit and struck out two over 1.1 innings to earn the save in Friday's 3-2 win over San Diego.

Diaz got Tommy Pham to fly out to end the eighth inning. The Mets' closer then worked around a Manny Machado single in the ninth to lock down the save. Diaz is now 11-for-12 in saves chances with a 2.92 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 33:7 K:BB across 24.2 innings this year. He's given up just one run in his last 9.1 innings, which came in his lone blown save of the year versus Arizona on June 1.
