Sulser will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Sulser will be making the first start of his major-league career Wednesday, and though he pitched 2.2 innings Sunday, his outing against the Twins likely won't last more than one frame or two. Once Sulser departs, Tyler Alexander is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

Miller allowed three runs on two hits and a walk across an inning of relief in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Pirates.

Chicago already trailed 2-0 when Miller came on in the seventh inning, so the righty didn't take the loss, though he didn't help his team's cause, either. Miller allowed a three-run bomb to Jared Triolo, who has just a .599 OPS this season, to cap off the rough outing. This is the second time in his last three appearances that Miller has allowed three runs, but he still has a strong 2.61 ERA overall, so it's probably not time to hit the panic button quite yet.

The Rangers recalled Garabito from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

With Jon Gray (foot) landing on the injured list, the Rangers will bring Garabito back to the majors in order to add extra depth to their bullpen. The 29-year-old righty owns a 2.65 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 17 big-league innings and will presumably work in middle relief while with Texas.

The Marlins designated Ramirez for assignment Tuesday.

The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville in late August and has now lost his place on the 40-man roster. Ramirez posted a 6.97 ERA in 15 outings for Miami this season but pitched well for Jacksonville with a 3.76 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 51:16 K:BB across 40.2 innings.

The Marlins designated Emanuel for assignment Tuesday.

It's the fifth time Emanuel has been designated for assignment by the Marlins this season. He hasn't been effective when up in the majors and has a 6.62 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB over 17.2 innings. He'll likely head back to Triple-A Jacksonville if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Marlins activated Simpson (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The left-hander had the elbow issue surface in February and underwent surgery to repair the ulnar nerve in late April, but he's been fully cleared after an eight-appearance rehab assignment. Simpson surrendered six runs with an 11:8 K:BB across 8.2 innings during the rehab stint, so he'll be sent to Triple-A rather than joining Miami's bullpen.

The Marlins claimed Veneziano off waivers from the Royals on Tuesday.

The left-hander was designated for assignment by Kansas City over the weekend, and Miami scooped him up to bolster its bullpen depth. Veneziano has made just two big-league appearances this season and has a 4.80 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 76:42 K:BB across 31 outings (14 starts) at Triple-A.

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.
