The Brewers recalled Peguero from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Peguero has collected a 3.00 ERA and 43:24 K:BB across 48 frames out of the Milwaukee bullpen this season. He'll likely operate as a middle reliever for the Brewers.

The Brewers placed Wilson on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right oblique strain, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Wilson evidently must have tweaked his oblique at some point during a 3.1-inning relief appearance in Sunday's extra-innings loss to the Reds. He will be eligible to return Sept. 17, but it's not yet clear whether he will have a chance to be ready by that date.

The Marlins recalled Maldonado from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Maldonado is back with the Marlins after spending the past two months with Jacksonville. The 26-year-old has made 11 appearances in the majors this season and has a 6.23 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB across 13 innings.

The Brewers optioned Hudson to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

The move looks odd on the surface, as Hudson boasts a 1.73 ERA and 62:17 K:BB over 62.1 innings this season and had turned in four straight scoreless appearances. However, his velocity has been trending in the wrong direction and the Brewers want to see him get that ticked back up in a less pressurized environment.

The Brewers activated Milner (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Milner recently made two scoreless rehab appearances to clear the way for his return to the Brewers' bullpen. He has been sidelined since mid-August due to a left shoulder impingement.

The Pirates claimed Wentz off waivers from the Tigers on Tuesday.

Wentz was used as a full-time reliever this season for the first time, holding a 5.37 ERA and 60:27 K:BB over 55.1 innings. The left-hander is under team control through 2029 and is still just 26, so the Pirates thought he was worth a shot. Wentz is out of minor-league options, so he will report directly to the major-league club.

The Marlins claimed Bachar off waivers from the Padres on Tuesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Bachar was designated for assignment by the Padres over the weekend without having made an appearance with the big club. The 29-year-old right-hander has collected a 3.89 ERA and 85:32 K:BB over 71.2 innings this season at Triple-A El Paso.

The Marlins outrighted Bermudez to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Bermudez is no longer on the team's 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as a depth arm. The lefty has been used primarily as a starter at Jacksonville, so he could get stretched back out after most recently working out of the bullpen with the big club.

Santana earned a save against the Cubs on Monday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.

Pittsburgh scored five runs across the eighth and ninth frames to build a two-run lead heading into the bottom of the ninth. With David Bednar recently demoted from the closer role and Aroldis Chapman handling the eighth inning, Santana was given the chance to close things out, and he succeeded by retiring the side in order on 13 pitches. Bednar's demotion could be only temporary, but while he's handling lower-leverage situations Santana and Chapman appear to be the favorites to get any save chances that come along.

Maton earned a save against the Red Sox on Monday, striking out two batters in a perfect ninth inning.

Primary closer Edwin Diaz had pitched four times in five days coming into Monday, so he was held out with the Mets ahead by three runs entering the top of the ninth. Maton filled Diaz's usual role well, fanning two batters and retiring the side in order on 12 pitches. This was Maton's first save as a member of the Mets, but he's been very good in a high-leverage role since moving to New York from Tampa Bay on July 9, racking up eight holds and posting a 1.77 ERA along with a 22:5 K:BB over 20.1 frames.
