Weigel was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Weigel has thrown four major-league innings this season, allowing two runs while posting a 9:4 K:BB. With a 6.84 ERA and 1.72 WHIP in 25 innings for Triple-A Nashville, he seemingly stands a good chance of passing through waivers unclaimed.

Reed was designated for assignment Friday, Steve Carney of Sports Radio 620 WDAE reports.

Reed was claimed off waivers from the Dodgers on Sunday but will wind up back on waivers less than a week later. The 28-year-old allowed two earned runs in 5.1 innings for Los Angeles in his first taste of big-league action in early July.

Mantiply was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday.

Mantiply was one of several Diamondbacks who landed on the injured list Friday, although it's not clear whether he's tested positive for the virus. If the southpaw hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, he'll be eligible to return as soon as he clears the league's health and safety protocols.

Bukauskas was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Bukauskas spent a week and a half in the minors and struck out three in 1.2 scoreless innings across two appearances at Triple-A Reno. He should serve as middle-relief help in the big leagues.

Abreu was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Abreu was tagged for six runs without recording an out Thursday against the Rays and will return to the minors. It was by far the worst performance in the majors this year for the 25-year-old, who had previously given up only three earned runs in 14.1 innings.

Snead was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

Snead made his first two big-league appearances in the last two days, throwing 1.2 scoreless innings while striking out three and allowing two hits. Brad Hand, acquired from the Nationals on Thursday, was added to the roster in a corresponding move.

Nittoli was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Nittoli has made just a single career big-league appearance, allowing two runs in a single inning of work back in late June. Unsurprisingly the 30-year-old went unclaimed on waivers, so he'll remain in an organizational depth role.

Mills was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Mills appeared in eight games for the Mariners in May and didn't look particularly good, allowing 10 runs in 8.1 innings of work. He's been far better in 24.2 frames for Triple-A Tacoma, cruising to a 2.92 ERA and 0.91 WHIP.

Santillan was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The right-hander covered 3.2 scoreless frames in his past three outings, but he'll head back to Triple-A with Michael Lorenzen (hamstring) returning from the injured list. Santillan will continue working as a reliever with Louisville and could rejoin Cincinnati's bullpen down the stretch.

Robles (illness) was acquired by Boston from Minnesota in exchange for Alex Scherff on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Robles hasn't pitched since Tuesday, when he surrendered four runs before exiting with dizziness and lightheadedness, but he's apparently healthy enough to pass a physical. The 30-year-old was in the closer's mix with the Twins but is unlikely to see those chances for the Red Sox with a 4.91 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 43:24 K:BB in 45 appearances this year.
