The Rays recalled Gervase from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.

After spending the past three weeks at Triple-A, Gervase will join the big club for the second time this season. Prior to his demotion, Gervase made five appearances out of the Tampa Bay bullpen, giving up three earned runs on six hits and five walks while recording six punchouts over 6.1 innings.

The Mets acquired Rogers from the Giants on Wednesday in exchange for right-handers Jose Butto and Blade Tidwell and outfielder Drew Gilbert, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Rogers has been one of the most effective and durable relievers in baseball over the last several years and has posted a 1.80 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 38:4 K:BB over 50 innings for the Giants this season. The submarine-style hurler is making $5.25 million in 2025 and is an impending free agent. He'll likely slot in as the top setup man in New York in front of closer Edwin Diaz.

The Guardians activated Stephan (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

Stephan was one of the Guardians' most-trusted relievers in 2022 and 2023, but he's struggled during his rehab assignment while coming back from his March 2024 UCL surgery, posting an 11.81 ERA over 10.2 innings across stops with three affiliates. He can still make an impact with the big club later this season, but the Guardians will need Stephan to hone his command at Triple-A before giving him another look in the majors.

The Pirates acquired Rogers, shortstop Sammy Stafura and cash considerations from the Reds on Wednesday in exchange for third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Rogers has collected a 2.45 ERA and 34:19 K:BB over 33 innings this season for the Reds. Given that he's an impending free agent and the Pirates aren't playoff contenders, the lefty reliever could be flipped to another team before Thursday's trade deadline.

The Angels designated Quijada for assignment Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The move frees up a spot on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster after the Angels acquired relievers Luis Garcia and Andrew Chafin from the Nationals on Wednesday. Quijada had tossed 1.1 scoreless frames covering two relief appearances with the Halos.

Hatch is expected to be used in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Angel Zerpa in Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Zerpa will likely be limited to one or two innings before turning the game over to the bullpen, and Hatch represents the freshest arm among Kansas City's relief options. Hatch had been serving as a full-time member of the Triple-A Omaha rotation prior to being called up Tuesday, notching a 4.22 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 78:28 K:BB in 91.2 innings over 18 starts. The right-hander will be available on three days' rest, though he handled a relatively light workload of 2.1 innings in his final start with Omaha on Saturday prior to his promotion.

The Nationals recalled Brzykcy from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

He'll fill one of openings in the bullpen that was created by the Nationals trading righty Luis Garcia and lefty Andrew Chafin to the Angels earlier Wednesday. Brzykcy has surrendered 17 earned runs over 20.2 frames during his time with the big club this season.

Atlanta designated De Los Santos for assignment Wednesday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster for right-hander Tyler Kinley, who was acquired in a trade with the Rockies. De Los Santos has posted a 4.53 ERA and 38:18 K:BB over 43.2 innings for Atlanta this season. He could clear waivers, and if he does, he would have the ability to elect free agency.

The Nationals acquired Eder and first baseman Sam Brown from the Angels on Wednesday in exchange for right-hander Luis Garcia and left-hander Andrew Chafin. Eder was then optioned to Triple-A Rochester.

Eder, 26, has produced a 4.91 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB in 18.1 innings over eight appearances out of the Angels bullpen this season. He had made 13 starts with Triple-A Salt Lake, and the Nationals will likely continue to have him stay stretched out as a starter as he reports to their top affiliate in Rochester. Though Washington doesn't have a spot available for Eder in the big-league rotation at the moment, that could change if the Nationals move right-hander Michael Soroka ahead of Thursday's deadline, as has been speculated.

The Angels acquired Chafin and right-hander Luis Garcia from the Nationals on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander Jake Eder and first baseman Sam Brown, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Chafin holds a 2.70 ERA over 20 innings with the Nationals this season, but a 1.60 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB suggest he's been the beneficiary of some good fortune in terms of run prevention. The 35-year-old will give the Angels another lefty in the bullpen.
