The Angels recalled Saucedo from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Saucedo will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for fellow reliever Sam Bachman (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Over six appearances out of the big-league bullpen this season, Saucedo has delivered a 5.40 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 6:0 K:BB over 3.1 innings.

The Blue Jays claimed Waldron off waivers from the Padres on Wednesday.

Waldron will presumably slot into the bullpen in Toronto, where he'll provide the team with a right-handed arm capable of covering multiple innings. Toronto transferred lefty Patrick Corbin (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for Waldron, who recorded a 7.16 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 32.2 innings with San Diego this season.

Milwaukee optioned Anderson to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

Anderson will give up his spot on the active roster to lefty Kyle Harrison (forearm), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Pirates. The 29-year-old righty has been serviceable out of the bullpen this season with a 3.70 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 41:18 K:BB through 48.2 innings, so he shouldn't have to wait long before getting another call-up to Milwaukee.

The Pirates reinstated Devenski (illness) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday and outrighted him to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Devenski had been on the shelf since May 7 due to an unspecified illness. Though the veteran right-hander is healthy again after having made five minor-league rehab appearances since the All-Star break, the Pirates didn't have room for him in the big-league bullpen and dropped him from the 40-man roster. He looks set to report to Indianapolis, though he also has the ability to elect free agency if he wants to pursue opportunities outside of the organization.

Pittsburgh optioned Dotel to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.

Dotel made five appearances with the big-league club after being activated from the injured list July 18. In 14 games in the majors this year, the 23-year-old has a 5.06 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB through 26.2 innings. Dotel is being sent to Triple-A in order to make room for Evan Sisk's (elbow) return from the injured list.

Pittsburgh reinstated Sisk (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Sisk was on the shelf for about a month due to left elbow inflammation before getting the green light to rejoin the Pirates after making two rehab appearances at Triple-A Indianapolis last weekend. The Pirates optioned right-hander Wilber Dotel to Triple-A to make room on the active roster for Sisk, who owns a 2.23 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 43:13 K:BB over 36.1 innings with Pittsburgh this season.

The Cubs optioned Kelly to Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday.

Kelly will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to right-hander Kevin Gausman, who has joined the Cubs after being acquired from the Blue Jays on Sunday. During his brief stay in the big leagues, Kelly tossed 1.1 scoreless innings in his lone relief appearance.

Baltimore optioned Nunez to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

Nunez will head back to Norfolk after spending over a month with the big-league club. The 25-year-old had allowed just two runs in 8.2 innings over his last seven appearances, but he issued eight walks during that stretch. Nunez will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen to right-hander Alex Hoppe, who was acquired from the Mariners on Monday.

The Blue Jays recalled Lee from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

Lee will make his way to the majors with the club in need of some relief help out of the bullpen. With Buffalo, the 27-year-old has posted a 2.20 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 40:18 K:BB over 45 innings this season. Toronto demoted Chad Dallas to Buffalo in order to make room for Lee on the active roster.

Toronto recalled Estrada from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

After being elevated to the big-league club Monday and then sent back down Tuesday, Estrada will rejoin Toronto on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has made just four appearances with the Blue Jays this season. With Trey Yesavage (knee) sidelined on the 15-day injured list, Toronto was in need of an extra arm that can give them length out of the bullpen.
