Arizona optioned Jarvis to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Jarvis threw 28 pitches over two scoreless innings of relief in Wednesday's series finale against the Rockies and wasn't going to be available for a bit. Ryne Nelson has been called up in a corresponding roster move to start Thursday's series opener versus the Cubs.

The Tigers recalled Wingenter from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

With Matt Manning (foot) out for the season, Wingenter will come up from the minors to fill Manning's roster spot. Wingenter has pitched to an unimpressive 7.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP through nine innings in the majors this year, but he's thrown 7.2 consecutive shutout innings in the minors since Aug. 13. Wingenter will likely be limited to low-leverage situations while in Detroit.

Fulmer (forearm) threw a successful bullpen session Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

It was his first time throwing off a mound since he landed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 26 due to a mild right forearm strain. There is not an exact timetable for Fulmer's return to the Cubs' bullpen, but he would seem to be getting close. He may be allowed to skip a minor-league rehab assignment if his side work continues to go smoothly.

The Padres claimed Otto off waivers from the Rangers on Thursday.

Otto was DFA'd by Texas on Tuesday after accumulating a 10.13 ERA and 1.88 WHIP through 10.2 innings in the majors. However, he's been solid in Triple-A with a 3.38 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 29.1 frames, so the Padres will take a flier on him as a bullpen depth piece. Ben Gamel was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Manager Phil Nevin said Wednesday that Silseth (concussion) won't be activated from the 7-day injured list to pitch during the Angels' four-game series with the Guardians that begins Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Angels are still planning to maintain a six-man rotation even though Silseth won't be able to pitch this weekend. Anaheim is set to call up Davis Daniel from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill the sixth spot in the rotation Thursday, while Griffin Canning, Tyler Anderson and Kenny Rosenberg have been named as the Angels' starters from Friday through Sunday. According to MLB.com, Silseth is still dealing with some discomfort after he sustained a concussion when he was hit in the head by an errant throw in his Aug. 26 start versus the Mets.

Mariot passed through waivers unclaimed and was outrighted Thursday to Triple-A Louisville, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Mariot was pushed off the 40-man roster Tuesday after making his first major-league appearance since 2016 on Monday against the Mariners. The 34-year-old right-hander will remain part of the Reds organization for the time being.

The Angels will recall Daniel from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Blum implies that Daniel is likely to start Thursday against the Guardians, as the Angels currently don't have a starter listed for the series opener. Daniel has been limited to just six rehab starts this season after coming back from a shoulder injury, but he's been excellent in those outings with a 1.78 ERA and 37:5 K:BB over 25.1 innings between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Single-A Inland Empire. He had been slated to start Thursday for Salt Lake, but the Halos have a need for a sixth starter, so he'll take the ball with the big club instead. Daniel was on the Angels' active roster briefly last season but didn't make an appearance, so he'll be making his major-league debut Thursday.

Pepiot was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Pepiot is slated to start Thursday's game in Miami. The young right-hander has been terrific in three appearances (one start) for the Dodgers this season, holding a 1.29 ERA and 14:2 K:BB over 14 innings. The Dodgers are in need of rotation help, giving Pepiot the chance to make multiple starts down the stretch if he continues to pitch well.

Fairbanks gave up a hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his 20th save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Red Sox.

The right-hander has been scored upon just once in his last 10 appearances, converting five of six saves over that stretch with two wins, a 0.93 ERA, a 0.83 WHIP and a 17:1 K:BB in 9.2 innings. With Jason Adam (oblique) out at least another week, the Rays will continue to lean heavily on Fairbanks as their most reliable high-leverage option in the bullpen.

Crochet (shoulder) re-started a rehab assignment with Double-A Birmingham on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

The left-hander has been sidelined since late June with shoulder inflammation and had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment following a setback. Crochet struck out a pair in a perfect frame for the Barons on Wednesday in what was his first appearance in exactly two months. He's hoping to rejoin the White Sox' bullpen before the end of the season.
