The Mets selected Devenski's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

The move corresponds with the Mets placing Danny Young (elbow) on the 15-day injured list and transferring Brooks Raley (elbow) to the 60-day IL. Devenski signed a minor-league contract with the Mets in October, and in nine outings out of Syracuse's bullpen this season he's posted a 1.93 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, two saves and a 7:4 K:BB across 9.1 innings.

The Mets placed Young on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a left elbow sprain.

Young has surrendered five runs (four earned) over 8.1 innings this season, but he seems to have come away from his most recent outing Saturday with an elbow injury. He'll now take at least the next couple of weeks to heal. Chris Devenski will come up from Triple-A Syracuse to give the Mets a fresh arm in the bullpen.

The Cubs optioned Cosgrove to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Cosgrove made one appearance during his brief time with the Cubs, tossing two scoreless innings. His roster spot is being absorbed by Chris Flexen.

The Reds selected Petty's contract from Triple-A Louisville ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Cardinals in the second game of a doubleheader.

Cincinnati is designating Petty as its 27th man for the twin bill, so he's expected to be returned to Louisville once the doubleheader concludes. The 22-year-old righty will be making his MLB debut Wednesday after turning in a 3.52 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB across 23 innings over his first five starts of the season at the Triple-A level.

The Cubs transferred Assad (oblique) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Chris Flexen, whose contract was selected Wednesday. Assad suffered a setback with his left oblique last week and will be shut down for a while.

The Mets selected Waddell's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Waddell will serve as a bulk reliever in Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks in what will be his first major-league appearance since 2021. The left-hander has posted a 1.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through five starts and 23.1 innings this season with Syracuse.

The Mets optioned Herget to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Herget was with the big club one day, allowing two runs (one earned) over two innings in his lone appearance. Brandon Waddell, who is scheduled to pitch in bulk relief Wednesday, is taking Herget's spot on the roster.

The Dodgers optioned Sauer to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Sauer registered his first major-league victory Tuesday versus the Marlins, allowing one run over five frames in a bulk-relief role. His removal from the 26-man roster creates a spot for Tony Gonsolin (back), who was activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start in Wednesday's game against Miami.

Miller threw a scoreless inning during Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the Padres, allowing one hit and striking out two.

The 27-year-old replaced Logan Webb in the sixth inning while facing a 5-4 deficit. Miller allowed a single while racking up a season-high mark in strikeouts and throwing 11 of his 18 pitches for strikes. The left-hander has surrendered only one run over 12 appearances this season, while allowing just two hits over his last six. Miller owns a 0.90 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 9:6 K:BB in 10 innings thus far.

Waddell will be called up from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Huascar Brazoban will draw his second start of the season Wednesday, but he'll serve as an opener and isn't expected to cover more than an inning or two before giving way to Waddell, who is set to make his first big-league appearance since 2021. The 30-year-old lefty has been impressive while pitching out of the rotation at Syracuse this season, logging a 1.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB in 23.1 innings.
