  • Sam Bachman RP | LAA

    Angels' Sam Bachman: Back in majors

    The Angels recalled Bachman from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.

    Bachman has made 18 relief appearances for the Halos this season, putting up a 5.02 ERA and 13:6 K:BB over 14.1 innings. He might be on the active roster for only a few days after Tyler Anderson (personal) was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding transaction.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Returns to big-league bullpen

    The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

    Graceffo has put up a 5.81 ERA and 26:7 K:BB across 31 innings in the majors this season. The right-hander will give manager Oliver Marmol a fresh bullpen arm for the start of a series against the Pirates that begins Monday.

  • Andre Granillo RP | STL

    Cardinals' Andre Granillo: Optioned to Memphis

    The Cardinals optioned Granillo to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

    Granillo struggled in his most recent stint with the big club, yielding seven runs with a 7:5 K:BB over 7.1 innings. He'll cede his spot in the bullpen to Gordon Graceffo, who was recalled from Triple-A.

  • Fernando Cruz RP | NYY

    Yankees' Fernando Cruz: Set for Tuesday activation

    Cruz (oblique) said that he will be activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said over the weekend that Cruz would be reinstated either Sunday or Monday, but the team now plans to wait and extra day before adding the reliever back to the 26-man active roster. Out since late June due to a left oblique strain, Cruz has posted a 3.00 ERA and 41.2 percent strikeout rate this season.

  • Jose Castillo RP | NYM

    Mets' Jose Castillo: Back with big club

    The Mets selected Castillo's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

    Castillo was outrighted off the 40-man roster earlier this month, but he's getting another shot in the majors after allowing just one run with a 9:1 K:BB over his last 5.1 innings with Syracuse. The lefty reliever holds a 5.30 ERA and 20:9 K:BB across 18.2 frames at the big-league level this season between the Diamondbacks and Mets.

  • Reed Garrett RP | NYM

    Mets' Reed Garrett: Placed on IL with elbow injury

    The Mets placed Garrett on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right elbow inflammation.

    Garrett had been tagged for eight runs over 4.2 innings covering his last five appearances. He's been given a cortisone shot and hopes to be ready for activation Sept. 7 when first eligible, according to Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record. Garrett's spot on the active roster and in the bullpen will be absorbed by Jose Castillo, who was called up from Triple-A Syracuse.

  • Justin Bruihl RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Justin Bruihl: Back in big-league bullpen

    The Blue Jays recalled Bruihl from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

    Bruihl has made 11 relief appearances for Toronto this season, yielding eight runs (six earned) with an 11:6 K:BB over 8.1 frames. The southpaw reliever will give manager John Schneider a fresh bullpen arm.

  • Paxton Schultz RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Paxton Schultz: Heading back to minors

    The Blue Jays optioned Schultz to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

    Schultz gave the Blue Jays a scoreless inning in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Marlins during his one-day stint with the big club. Justin Bruihl was recalled from Triple-A to replace Schultz on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen.

  • Camilo Doval RP | NYY

    Yankees' Camilo Doval: Works scoreless inning Sunday

    Doval allowed two hits and struck out two batters in a scoreless ninth inning against the Red Sox on Sunday.

    While the right-hander gave up a pair of hits -- a single and a double -- Sunday, he was able to escape without Boston putting any runs on the board. It wasn't the highest-leverage work (New York held a five-run lead when Doval entered), but it was nonetheless a relatively important situation with the Yankees needing to secure the win to avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of their division rivals. As for Doval, he was sorely in need of a positive outing, as he came into the contest having been scored upon in four of his past five appearances. His adjustment to a new role with the Yankees hasn't gone smoothly -- through 10 contests with New York, he's posted a 6.48 ERA, 2.16 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB over 8.1 innings while blowing his only two save chances (though he does have three holds).

  • Osvaldo Bido SP | ATH

    Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Expected to move into rotation

    Bido is likely to enter the Athletics rotation for Tuesday's game against the Tigers in Sacramento, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    The Athletics are expected to deploy Bido as a starter or bulk reliever as he steps into the rotation as a replacement for Jack Perkins (shoulder), who was placed on the injured list Friday. Since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on July 10, Bido has worked exclusively out of the bullpen, but he should be reasonably stretched out after tossing three innings and 44 pitches in his most recent relief appearance in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Twins. Altogether, Bido owns a 5.37 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 49:25 K:BB in 65.1 innings across 19 appearances (nine starts) for the Athletics this season.
