Diplan was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk prior to Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

Diplan was sent back to Norfolk after allowing two runs on two hits and two walks in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against Toronto. He'll return to the Orioles with Tanner Scott (knee) shifting to the IL, and he should have plenty of opportunities to pitch during the season's closing weeks.

Scott was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left knee sprain.

Scott last pitched Saturday, allowing six runs on six hits in just one-third of an inning against Toronto. He'll be eligible to come off the injured list Sept. 22 against Philadelphia, but per Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, manager Brandon Hyde said the southpaw's season is probably over. If he is indeed done for the year, Scott will conclude the campaign with a 5.17 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 70:37 K:BB across 54 innings.

Lambert (elbow) will have his rehab transferred to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Lambert has been recovering since he underwent Tommy John surgery in July of 2020; his move to Albuquerque represents the final step in his rehab process. The 24-year-old has made six rehab appearances since mid-August and has recorded a 4.73 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 13.1 innings. Manager Bud Black is optimistic that Lambert will rejoin the Rockies prior to the end of the regular season, but it's not yet clear whether the right-hander will be built up to a starter's workload.

Sewald recorded his 12th hold in a win over the Red Sox on Monday despite allowing two earned runs on two hits over an inning during which he also recorded two strikeouts.

Sewald encountered trouble for the third straight appearance after opening the frame with consecutive strikeouts of Enrique Hernandez and Kyle Schwarber. Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers subsequently tagged him for back-to-back solo home runs to bring the Red Sox within a run before Sewald escaped by retiring J.D. Martinez. The hard-throwing right-hander boasted a 2.39 ERA and 0.98 WHIP as recently as Sept. 5, but a three-appearance stretch where he's given up five earned runs over three innings has bumped those figures up to 3.12 and 1.02, respectively.

Reyes secured his first hold in a win over the Mets on Monday, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed a hit and a walk while striking out the side.

The Cardinals were only up 3-0 when Reyes entered in the eighth inning, so the assignment was a prototypical higher-leverage setup scenario. The previously embattled right-hander held his own by working around a pair of inning-opening baserunners, using his overpowering stuff to mow down the formidable trio of Pete Alonso, Javier Baez and Jeff McNeil and escape the frame unscathed. Reyes appears to be settling into a nice groove in the post-closer phase of his season, now having fired four scoreless innings over his last three appearances while posting a 6:2 K:BB and a pair of victories in addition to Monday's hold.

Foley was recalled from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Foley has held his own across his first 6.1 major-league innings this season, allowing just two earned runs on six hits while striking out a pair. He'll rejoin the big club for the first time since the end of August and figures to pick up some of Jose Cisnero's (elbow) innings with the latter moving to the injured list.

Anderson (elbow), just activated from the injured list Sunday, fired a scoreless seventh inning during which he allowed a hit and issued a walk in Monday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Anderson had been looking increasingly stronger in his last few rehab appearances before activation, and that momentum carried over Monday. The right-hander gave his previously injured elbow a good test by logging 23 pitches overall. While Anderson's control was a bit rusty -- he got just 11 offerings into the strike zone -- and his fastball averaged just 92.1 mph during the outing as per Adam Berry of MLB.com, manager Kevin Cash was pleased with what he saw. "It was good to have Nick out there on the mound. He looked the part," Cash said. "He's worked hard to get back to this point. We'll look forward to seeing him again in the next day or two and see how the stuff continues to progress."

Holmes (8-3) pitched a perfect inning, striking out one batter to pick up the win over Minnesota on Monday.

The right-hander pitched the top of the 10th inning for New York and retired the side in order while preventing the designated runner from crossing the plate. He was credited with the win as a result of Gary Sanchez driving home the winning run in the bottom of the frame. Holmes has earned five wins in 16 appearances since joining the Yankees in late July, and he has registered an excellent 2.04 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 21:1 K:BB across 17.2 frames during that stretch.

Cisnero was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow laceration, retroactive to Monday.

Per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com, he suffered the injury when he fell on the stairs during Monday's day off. It's not entirely clear how long the right-hander is expected to be sidelined, but he'll become eligible to come off the IL for the Sept. 24 game against the Royals. Cisnero struggled in his last two appearances, allowing seven earned runs on four hits and three walks. Reliever Jason Foley was recalled from Triple-A Toledo to take his roster spot.

Bickford (4-2) was credited with the win against Arizona on Monday, allowing one hit in a scoreless inning.

Starter Clayton Kershaw pitched well in his return to the mound, but he was limited to 50 pitches over 4.1 frames. Bickford took over with one out in the fifth and tossed 16 of 23 pitches for strikes over his inning of work, allowing only an infield single to pick up the victory. The right-hander continues to thrive in his first full big-league season. In 50 games with the Dodgers, he has posted a 2.54 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 54:17 K:BB while notching eight holds and one save.
