Koch was designated for assignment Friday.

Koch will hit waivers and if he goes unclaimed, would likely remain in Colorado's system. He made two appearances with the Rockies, picking up a one-out save in his debut before surrendering four runs without generating an out in his second outing.

Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

After stumbling to a 7.24 ERA in 27.1 innings with the Rockies, Lambert was demoted to Triple-A. Matt Carasiti and John Curtiss were called up to the big-league roster.

Curtiss' contract was selected from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Curtiss and Matt Carasiti will join the MLB roster to bolster the Rockies' bullpen. Curtiss logged a 4.58 ERA across 19.2 innings with the Mets last season and owns a 6.75 ERA in 21.1 innings this season for Albuquerque.

Carasiti had his contract selected by the Rockies on Friday.

Carasiti will join the big-league roster for the first time this season. He'll bolster the Rockies bullpen after logging a 5.91 ERA over 20 appearances for Triple-A Albuquerque.

Heasley was optioned down to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday by the Orioles.

Heasley will back back down to Norfolk just one day after being called up. The right-hander has struggled in his four appearances this season with the Orioles, giving up 10 earned runs and two home runs with a 4:3 K:BB across 5.1 innings.

Vespi was recalled by the Orioles on Friday from Triple-A Norfolk.

The left-hander will return to the majors just two days after being optioned down, as starter Dean Kremer gets put on the 15-day injured list. Vespi has only appeared in one major-league game this year, sporting a 3.22 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB across 22.1 innings for Norfolk.

Tate was recalled by the Orioles on Friday from Triple-A Norfolk.

Tate was sent down at the end of April, but he will be brought back up to take the place of Jonathan Heasley in the bullpen. Tate has appeared in 11 games with the Orioles this season, logging a 2.84 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with a 6:6 K:BB across 12.2 innings.

Blalock was optioned to Double-A Biloxi on Friday.

Blalock will head back to Biloxi after not making an appearance during his four days with Milwaukee. Enoli Paredes will take his place on the 26-man roster.

Paredes had his contract selected from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Paredes is set to make his Brewers debut after joining the organization in November. He's been outstanding for Nashville with a 1.31 ERA and 34 strikeouts across 20.2 innings this season. He'll replace Bradley Blalock on the 26-man roster.

Wilson isn't starting Friday against the Red Sox but is likely to follow opener Jared Koenig.

Wilson was initially listed as the Brewers' starter, a role he's jumped into with Milwaukee's rotation hampered by injuries, but Jared Koenig is now beginning the game on the mound instead. Considering Koenig hasn't worked more than 2.2 innings in a game this year, it's expected that he'll just open the contest, leaving Wilson to operate in long relief.
