Dauri Moreta RP | PIT
Pirates' Dauri Moreta: Rejoins big club
The Pirates recalled Moreta from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
The right-hander will rejoin the big-league bullpen after spending the 15-day minimum in the minors after being demoted Aug. 11. Moreta has made five appearances for Pittsburgh this year and has given up two earned runs with a 7:1 K:BB over 4.2 innings.

Jovani Moran RP | BOS
Red Sox's Jovani Moran: Set to be recalled
The Red Sox will recall Moran from Triple-A Worcester prior to Tuesday's game in Baltimore, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
He'll take the roster spot vacated by Richard Fitts (biceps). Moran has made a couple relief appearances with the Red Sox this season, allowing three runs with a 5:3 K:BB over four innings. The lefty has often been used for multiple innings during his outings in the majors and minors this season, so he'll offer the bullpen some length.

Scott Blewett RP | BAL
Orioles' Scott Blewett: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Orioles transferred Blewett (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
The right-hander has been sidelined by elbow discomfort since July 13, and he now won't be eligible to be reinstated until mid-September. Blewett has pitched for three MLB clubs this season and has a combined 5.48 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 35:18 K:BB over 44.1 innings.

Shawn Dubin RP | BAL
Orioles' Shawn Dubin: Claimed by Baltimore
The Orioles claimed Dubin off waivers from the Astros on Tuesday.
Dubin posted a 1.33 ERA over his first 18 appearances for the Astros this season before allowing 13 runs in 5.1 August innings to lose his spot on the 40-man roster. The 29-year-old will join the Orioles' bullpen, although he has not yet officially reported to the club.

Fernando Cruz RP | NYY
Yankees' Fernando Cruz: Reinstated from injured list
The Yankees activated Cruz (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
Cruz wound up missing two months of action with a strained left oblique but is ready to go following a brief rehab assignment. It's a big boost to the Yankees' bullpen, as Cruz boasts a 3.00 ERA and elite 41.2 percent strikeout rate in 2025.

Jose Castillo RP | NYM
Mets' Jose Castillo: Collects first win of season
Castillo (1-2) picked up the win over the Phillies on Monday, working a scoreless fifth inning without a strikeout or a walk.
The 29-year-old lefty plunked J.T. Realmuto with a pitch to lead off the inning, but an Alec Bohm double play erased the threat, and the Mets broke open a 3-3 tie in the bottom of the fifth en route to a 13-3 rout. It was Castillo's first big-league win since 2018 with San Diego, and over 13.1 innings in the New York bullpen this season he's posted a 2.03 ERA and 17:6 K:BB, albeit with an alarming 1.73 WHIP.

Brock Stewart RP | LAD
Dodgers' Brock Stewart: Playing catch again
The Dodgers announced Friday that Stewart (shoulder) has resumed playing light catch, MLB.com reports.
Stewart was shut down from throwing for about a week after he received cortisone and platelet-rich plasma injections for his inflamed right shoulder, an injury that sent him to the shelf Aug. 12. The right-hander seems to have responded well to the injections but will have a few more checkpoints to hit in the recovery process before heading out on a rehab assignment. Stewart doesn't appear on track to return from the injured list until around mid-September.

Tyler Zuber RP | MIA
Marlins' Tyler Zuber: Nabs first hold with Miami
Zuber gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning Monday to record his first hold of the season in a win over Atlanta.
With the Marlins clinging to a 1-0 lead, Zuber took the mound to begin the eighth inning against the bottom of Atlanta's order and got two outs before Jurickson Profar knocked him from the game with a double. Zuber has been scored upon in only one of seven appearances since joining the big-league roster in early August while posting a 10:3 K:BB in 8.2 innings, and he may be getting an audition in a higher-leverage role over the final weeks of the season. Given manager Clayton McCullough's scattershot bullpen usage this season, it wouldn't be a huge shock if the right-hander saw occasional ninth-inning duty -- eight different players have picked up a save for Miami this year, and six different relievers have multiple saves, led by Calvin Faucher's 12.
