The Reds recalled La Sorsa from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

The 27-year-old reliever will join the 26-man roster Friday in place of Chase Burns (elbow), who's landed on the 15-day injured list. La Sorsa hasn't pitched for the Reds since June 30. He's surrendered six runs in 4.2 innings in the big leagues this season, but he's cruised to a 2.70 ERA in 40 innings at Louisville.

The Pirates designated Borucki for assignment Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Borucki has stumbled to a 5.28 ERA in 30.2 innings with the Pirates this season. The 31-year-old hasn't been able to replicate the success he saw in 2023 during his first year in Pittsburgh, when he notched a 2.45 ERA across 40.1 innings. Borucki will hit waivers, but if he goes unclaimed, he could remain in the organization.

The Pirates optioned Sanders to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Sanders had his contract selected Aug. 5 and appeared in five games with the Pirates before Friday's move. The 28-year-old reliever didn't allow a run in four of his five outings, but he yielded five runs in one-third of an inning against the Reds in his other appearance. Evan Sisk and Colin Holderman will join the big-league bullpen as part of Friday's slew of roster moves.

The Pirates recalled Sisk from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Sisk was acquired from Kansas City on July 31. He'll be making his Pirates debut when he gets into a game. Sisk had posted a 3.77 ERA in 28.2 innings with the Royals' Triple-A affiliate in Omaha, but he's surrendered six runs in 5.1 innings so far with Indianapolis.

The Pirates recalled Holderman from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Holderman will return to the majors for the first time since mid-May, coming up from Indianapolis with Evan Sisk as part of a slew of bullpen moves Friday. In 16.1 innings pitched at Triple-A, Holderman has a 5.51 ERA. Cam Sanders was optioned to Triple-A and Ryan Borucki was designated for assignment in corresponding moves.

Helsley (3-3) took the loss Thursday against Atlanta, giving up two runs on two hits and a walk in an inning of relief. He failed to strike out a batter.

Called upon to protect a 3-2 lead in the eighth inning, Helsley issued a one-out walk before serving up back-to-back doubles to Michael Harris and Ozzie Albies. Helsley has had a rough start to his tenure as Edwin Diaz's main setup man, coughing up seven runs (albeit only three earned) over six appearances and five innings while getting charged with two blown saves and two losses. The Mets won't give up on the trade-deadline acquisition, but Helsley could begin to cede eighth-inning duties to other relievers until he gets back on track.

Thompson (shoulder) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Thompson, who is dealing with a strain of his lower right trapezius muscle, threw his second bullpen in three days. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo noted the right-hander has responded well to the work, but his return date remains uncertain. Thompson last pitched for the Diamondbacks on July 4.

Stewart had imaging on his right shoulder that revealed no structural damage, but he will be shut down from throwing for at least a week, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Though Stewart is likely going to be out for more than the minimum 15 days required by his IL stint, his test results suggest he should be able to return to action this season. However, the veteran right-hander's 2024 campaign ended in late July due to a shoulder issue that required surgery, so the Dodgers probably aren't going to push the issue and rush Stewart back until he's fully ready. In four outings with the club after being acquired in a trade-deadline deal with Minnesota, Stewart notched two holds while allowing two runs and posting a 3:2 K:BB over 3.2 innings.

Iglesias picked up the save Thursday against the Mets, striking out one during a perfect ninth inning.

Iglesias didn't yield a run for a ninth consecutive outing, delivering his sixth perfect inning during that stretch. The scoreless streak came off the heels of Iglesias' fifth blown save of the campaign. Through 49.2 innings on the year, Iglesias has a 4.17 ERA and a 54:10 K:BB.

Henry picked up the save Thursday against the Phillies, yielding one hit with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.

It was reported that the 26-year-old rookie would be in the mix for saves after the Nationals traded closer Kyle Finnegan near the deadline. However, Jose Ferrer got the first save opportunity Aug. 9 while Henry pitched the eighth frame. Their roles reversed Thursday, with Ferrer handling setup duties while Henry recorded his first career save. He's allowed one run on four hits and two walks across 5.2 innings in August. Given that Ferrer is a southpaw and Henry is a right-hander, Washington could utilize a matchup-based approach to the closer role during the final stretch of the regular season.
