The Dodgers reinstated Treinen (hip) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Treinen landed on the injured list Aug. 5 due to left hip discomfort, and he'll now rejoin the Dodgers' bullpen after throwing one rehab inning at Double-A Tulsa, during which he struck out all three batters he faced. The 36-year-old righty owns a 2.67 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 30.1 frames on the year while working primarily in high-leverage situations. In a corresponding move, Ben Casparius was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Phillies released Pinto on Aug. 12.

After getting called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in early April to make his MLB debut, Pinto made six appearances out of the Philadelphia bullpen, picking up one save but logging a 10.97 ERA and 2.25 WHIP across 10.2 innings. He was outrighted off the 40-man roster in May and proceeded to turn in a 5.43 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 59.2 innings with Lehigh Valley before being cut loose.

Tarnok (lat) struck out three and gave up three runs on two hits and one walk over an inning of relief for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday after being activated from the 7-day injured list.

The 25-year-old made his first appearance for Lehigh Valley since July 2 after he completed his recovery from a right lat strain. Before being activated, Tarnok made a pair of rehab appearances for High-A Jersey Shore, striking out two over three scoreless innings.

Bednar (3-6) took the loss Wednesday against the Rangers, allowing a run on three hits over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.

With the game scoreless in the bottom of the ninth, Bednar allowed a pair of singles to lead off the frame. He managed to retire Nathaniel Lowe and Josh Jung before giving up a two-out, walk-off single to Wyatt Langford. It's the third loss in six outings for Bednar, who's allowed nine earned runs in his last nine innings. His ERA is up to 5.68 on the season with a 1.35 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB across 44.1 innings. Bednar has 22 saves in 27 chances this year, though he could lose work in the ninth to Aroldis Chapman if his struggles continue.

The Tigers announced that White (elbow) underwent a hydro-dissection procedure Tuesday to address radial nerve-related symptoms, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

White had been contending with elbow problems dating back to spring training and hasn't pitched in a game since June 18, when he made a rehab appearance in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. Though the Tigers recalled him from the minors Aug. 13 and placed him on the 60-day injured list with what the club labeled as a right elbow strain, White didn't require surgery and instead had a non-invasive procedure to address the matter. White is presumably shut down for the season, but he could be fully cleared for the start of spring training.

The Angels optioned Crouse to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Crouse has done a nice job in the Angels' bullpen since being brought up from the minors in June, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 24 innings. However, he'll end up as the Halos' roster casualty as Johnny Cueto comes up from Triple-A to start Wednesday's game. Crouse owns a 2.70 ERA at Salt Lake and could rejoin Los Angeles' bullpen down the stretch if he remains effective.

Martin earned the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Houston, working around a hit in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

With Kenley Jansen having pitched back-to-back days, the Red Sox turned to Martin on Wednesday to protect a three-run lead in the ninth. The right-hander would work around a two-out single to record his first save of the season. Overall, Martin sports a 2.94 ERA this year with a 1.07 WHIP and 39:2 K:BB across 33.2 innings. He's logged 12 holds while working in a setup role ahead of Jansen.

Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Manager A.J. Hinch hasn't outlined the Tigers' pitching plan for Wednesday, but Brieske will take the hill on two days' rest and should be able to cover somewhere between one and three innings before turning the game over to the bullpen. Kenta Maeda tossed 5.2 scoreless innings in his last appearance Thursday versus the Mariners and should operate as a bulk reliever behind Brieske.

Diaz (5-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Orioles, striking out a pair in a perfect inning.

Diaz made quick work of the middle of Baltimore's lineup, striking out Anthony Santander and Ryan Mountcastle in a clean top half of the ninth before the Mets walked it off with a Jesse Winker homer in the bottom half of the frame. Diaz has wins in back-to-back appearances -- he's allowed just two runs in his last 11.2 innings while logging 18 strikeouts in that span. The 30-year-old Diaz has converted 14 of 19 save chances this season while posting a 3.41 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 12.9 K/9 across 37 innings.

The Guardians designated Gose for assignment Wednesday.

The Guardians have now pushed Gose off the 40-man roster twice within the past two weeks, with the 34-year-old lefty having made just one relief appearance between his two abbreviated stints with the big club. Gose will likely clear waivers once again and will presumably accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Columbus.
