Bido (4-3) allowed a hit and two walks while striking out six over six shutout innings to earn the win Saturday over the Giants.

Bido has turned in consecutive starts of six scoreless innings. The right-hander has posted a quality start in all three of his outings in August, allowing just three runs (two earned) over 18 innings while adding a 17:6 K:BB. For the season, Bido has a 3.40 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 45:21 K:BB through 45 innings over 12 appearances (six starts). He's emerged as a reliable starter for Oakland, and he's projected to make his next start at home versus the Rays.

Williams pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.

Williams failed to log a strikeout for the first time in his seven appearances this season. It was still a tidy save for the right-hander, who got the heart of Cleveland's order out on three straight groundouts. Williams has allowed one run -- on a solo home run versus Atlanta on Aug. 7 -- while earning four saves and posting an 11:1 K:BB over seven innings. All of his saves have been over his last four appearances, including three over the last four days, so it's safe to say Williams is back to being locked in as Milwaukee's closer.

The Athletics are placing Adams on the injured list Sunday with right elbow tightness, Jason Burke of SI.com reports.

Adams hasn't pitched since Monday when he threw a scoreless inning against the Mets en route to his first win of the season. It appears he picked up an injury during the outing and it's considered severe enough to warrant an IL stint. Grant Holman and Scott Alexander are candidates to see more high-leverage work while Adams is shelved.

Brogdon (foot) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Brogdon was placed on the injured list back in April due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He made a pair of minor-league rehab appearances in early May before being shut down suddenly. Updates on Brogdon's status have been few and far between ever since, but he's now feeling well enough to pitch in games again. Given the lengthy layoff, Brogdon will likely require a fairly long rehab assignment and may be multiple weeks away from returning.

The Marlins are expected to call Oller up from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Monday's game against Arizona, Ari Alexander of KPRC Houston reports.

Oller signed a minor-league contract with Miami on July 9 and has logged a 2.88 ERA across 25 innings for Jacksonville. The 29-year-old spent time in the majors with the Athletics in 2022 and 2023 seasons with the Athletics, logging a 6.30 ERA and a 10.07 ERA, respectively. Considering that the Marlins are dealing with plenty of injuries to their rotation, Oller will have a chance to earn more starts if he performs well Monday.

Alexander will serve as the Rays' bulk reliever Sunday against Arizona, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Tampa Bay recalled Alexander from Triple-A on Saturday in the wake of Zack Littell's (shoulder) move to the 15-day injured list. While Alexander won't officially start Sunday's contest, he'll be the Rays' primary pitcher behind opener Drew Rasmussen. Alexander has allowed two runs across his last four big-league appearances, racking up 15 strikeouts across 14.1 innings.

Rasmussen will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against Arizona, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Rasmussen will make his second start of the season Sunday, though he's expected to pitch just one or two innings before handing the ball off to bulk reliever Tyler Alexander. Since completing his recovery from an internal brace procedure and returning from the 60-day injured list Aug. 7, Rasmussen has given up three earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out six over five innings.

Slaten (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Monday and start a minor-league rehab assignment shortly thereafter, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Slaten will incorporate an up and down into Monday's bullpen before embarking on what's expected to be a brief rehab assignment. The 26-year-old has been on the shelf since July 12 due to elbow inflammation. The issue wasn't expected to sideline Slaten for more than the minimum 15 days, but his recovery was thrown off schedule by an illness.

Webb (elbow) played catch Saturday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Webb has been on the shelf since Aug. 7 due to elbow inflammation and Saturday appears to be the first time he's played catch since. Initial indications were that Webb wouldn't need to miss much more than the minimum 15 days, but he seems to be at least a week or two away from returning.

The Angels activated Cisnero (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Cisnero hasn't pitched for the Halos since April 27 due to inflammation in his throwing shoulder. However, after allowing one run with eight strikeouts across four rehab appearances (4.2 innings) with Triple-A Salt Lake, the 35-year-old was cleared to rejoin the active roster. Jose Soriano (arm fatigue) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.
