Moll was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

Moll will take the roster spot left vacant by Daulton Jefferies, who landed on the injured list with an elbow issue. Jefferies had been scheduled to start Saturday against the Angels, so Moll could potentially be involved right away if Oakland elects to go with a bullpen game.

Solomon was recalled by the Astros on Saturday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Solomon has thrown three scoreless innings at the major-league level this season, the last of which came back in early July. He owns a 4.70 ERA in 97.2 innings for Triple-A Sugar Land. Brandon Bielak was optioned to clear space for Solomon on the roster.

Frias was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Frias was promoted from Double-A Amarillo to Triple-A Reno on Aug. 16. Since, he's posted a 5.82 ERA and 1.75 WHIP while walking 16 hitters across 21.1 frames and five starts with Reno. While it's unclear when Frias will first take a major-league mound, it's likely that he'll draw a start in the coming days.

Krehbiel's contract was selected by the Rays on Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Krehbiel made a pair of major-league appearances for the Diamondbacks in 2018 but has been in the minors ever since. He owns a 4.19 ERA in 43 innings for Triple-A Durham this season. He'll fill the roster spot left vacant by Kevin Kiermaier, who was placed on the COVID-19 injured list.

Flores was designated for assignment Saturday.

Flores was claimed off waivers by the Rockies in late June. However, he's managed to pitch only 2.1 innings at Triple-A Albuquerque after spending two months on the injured list.

Rogers (finger) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

A sprained middle finger has kept Rogers on the shelf since late July. He's already been ruled out for the season, so the transaction is purely a procedural one. It clears space on the 40-man roster for the Twins to select Drew Maggi's contract.

Kahnle (elbow) will not pitch this season, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Kahnle underwent Tommy John surgery in August of 2020, so there was some hope that he may return late this season. However, he has only progressed to playing catch and will not have time to ramp up to game action. Kahnle should be ready to pitch out of the Dodgers' bullpen at the beginning of next season.

Alexander (shoulder) will not return during the 2021 season, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Alexander has been sidelined since July 20 with inflammation in his shoulder, an issue that also affected him earlier in the season. He'll close the campaign with a 2.93 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB across 15.1 innings.

Rogers allowed three runs on three hits in one inning, taking a blown save in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over Atlanta.

The right-hander gave up a three-run home run to Travis d'Arnaud in the top of the ninth inning, although Donovan Solano tied the game for San Francisco with a solo shot to force extras. Rogers hadn't allowed a run in 14 innings entering Friday's contest. With Jake McGee (oblique) on the injured list, Gabe Kapler expects to mix-and-match with Rogers, Tony Watson and Dominic Leone handling late-inning duties going forward, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Rogers has pitched to a 2.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 49:10 K:BB while adding 12 saves, 27 holds and six blown saves across 72 innings this year.

Akin (2-10) allowed four runs on six hits and three walks with no strikeouts in four-plus innings, taking the loss versus Boston on Friday.

The southpaw took a step back after a quality start in his last appearance. It was the second time in his last three outings he completed only four innings. Akin has struggled in his first full major-league season with a 6.93 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 76:39 K:BB across 89.2 innings. He's projected for a road start in Philadelphia next week.
