The Rays claimed Sulser off waivers from the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

After an extended absence due to a shoulder strain, Sulser returned to make a lone appearance out of the Arizona bullpen before being designated for assignment. The Tampa Bay front office has deemed Sulser of a 40-man roster spot despite his struggles in recent seasons. The right-hander pitched to a 2.70 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and eight saves with Baltimore in 2021.

The Mets optioned Garrett to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

After tossing 1.1 scoreless innings Wednesday in his return to the majors, Garrett was rocked for four runs over just two-thirds of an inning Friday. He will make way for a fresh arm on the roster and return to Syracuse, where he has a 5.40 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across six appearances since joining the organization on a waiver claim.

The Mets optioned Curtiss to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, aa reports.

Curtiss was recalled earlier in the week and made a couple appearances out of the Mets' bullpen during his latest stint with the big club. He was the first of six relievers used behind David Peterson on Friday -- reinforcements were needed after the group effort. Starter Tylor Megill and righty reliever Jimmy Yacabonis were added in a series of moves.

Bachman (shoulder) was transferred from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list early in the week, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Bachman was diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation in mid-July and was subsequently placed on the 15-day IL. Per MLB.com, the rookie right-hander had not yet resumed throwing at the time he was moved to the 60-day IL on Aug. 1. Bachman will now be out of action until at least mid-September.

The Mets selected Yacabonis' contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

Yacabonis will provide the big club with a fresh arm after the bullpen was taxed for six innings behind David Peterson on Friday. Considering Yacabonis has a 6.24 career ERA and a 9.00 ERA in nine innings in the majors this season, it's unlikely we'll see him in any important spots.

The Brewers recalled Andrews from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Andrews will return for a second stint with the Brewers, though it could be just a one-day stay, as the team will need to open a roster spot for Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) on Sunday. The lefty Andrews made a pair of appearances the last time around, allowing five runs on five hits over 1.2 innings. He's pitched to a 2.63 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 35 appearances with Nashville this season.

The White Sox selected Ramsey's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Ramsey has a 5.50 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 48:27 K:BB across 36 innings at Charlotte this season and will now receive his first taste of the big leagues. The 27-year-old should fill a low-leverage bullpen role while up with the White Sox.

Santos was placed on the bereavement list Saturday.

Santos appears to have taken over as Chicago's closer, but he'll step away from the team for 3-to-7 days for personal reasons. Aaron Bummer is likely the top option for saves until Santos rejoins the White Sox.

Honeywell was claimed off waivers by the White Sox on Saturday.

Honeywell was recently designated for assignment by San Diego and will now make his way to Chicago. The 28-year-old had a 3.20 ERA in his first 29 outings for the Padres this season, but he lost his place on the 40-man roster after he gave up seven earned runs across his last seven outings.

Scott was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Scott was claimed off waivers by Oakland shortly after the All-Star break and gave up three earned runs over 5.1 frames during his time with the big club. The right-hander could rejoin the A's later on when they need bullpen depth.
