Sewald tossed 1.1 scoreless frames to earn the save Thursday against the Blue Jays. He allowed a hit and a walk while striking out four.

Sewald entered during the eighth inning after Toronto made it a three-run game. The right-hander sent Vladimir Guerrero down on strikes to finish off the frame. Upon giving up a leadoff single and a walk in the ninth, Sewald whiffed the next three batters to pick up his first save of the year with Kendall Graveman presumably unavailable after pitching 1.2 innings Wednesday. Sewald has been solid in relief this season, collecting five wins to go with a 1.66 ERA and 1.02 WHIP.

Perdomo (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

Perdomo had been on the injured list since May 30 due to a lower back strain, but he began a rehab assignment June 20. The southpaw made five appearances with the Triple-A club and allowed no hits and a walk while striking out 10 in five scoreless innings. He'll remain in the minors but could return to the Brewers as a low-leverage reliever at some point.

Moore and the Phillies won't play the Marlins on Thursday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Philadelphia, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

The two sides have yet to announce a make-up date for the postponed game. Considering that Moore was scheduled to make a spot start Thursday after Zach Eflin fell ill, the Phillies may elect to push the southpaw to the back of their pitching schedule. If that's the case, Moore likely wouldn't be in line to make his next start until Tuesday in Chicago against the Cubs.

The Padres recalled Weathers from Triple-A El Paso ahead of his scheduled start Thursday against the Reds.

Weathers will be rejoining the San Diego rotation as a replacement for Dinelson Lamet (forearm), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Over 14 appearances (eight starts) for the Padres this season, Weathers has compiled a 2.47 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB across 47.1 innings.

Solomon was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Solomon tossed two scoreless innings for the Astros earlier in the season, but he was sent down at the end of April and made nine appearances (six starts) with the Triple-A club. He posted a 6.11 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 35.1 innings during that time, but he'll now rejoin the big-league bullpen after left-hander Ryan Hartman was sent down Thursday.

Hudson (elbow) hopes to throw a bullpen session Thursday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Hudson tossed a 25-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, and he'll have a quick turnaround ahead of his next bullpen. If Thursday's throwing session goes well, the right-hander could progress to face live hitters at some point in the near future. Hudson has been on the injured list since June 12 due to elbow inflammation, but he's recently been trending in the right direction.

Moore will start Thursday's game against the Marlins after Zach Eflin was scratched with an illness, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Moore initially appeared set to step into the rotation during this weekend's series against the Padres, filling the starting role that had previously been occupied by Spencer Howard, who was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. Eflin's illness resulted in a late change of plans, but Moore should still be ready to handle a normal starter's workload despite taking the hill on short notice. Moore will be pitching on five days' rest after he tossed five scoreless frames against the Mets last Friday in the second game of a doubleheader.

Clase was charged with three runs (one earned) on three hits in his relief appearance during Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Tigers in the second game of a doubleheader.

With Cleveland losing three of its last four games heading into the second game of the twin bill and with the lone victory coming by a big margin, Clase was called upon in a non-save situation in an attempt to stay fresh. The hard-throwing righty wasn't at his best, but he was spared significant damage to his still-sparkling 1.10 ERA after teammate Yu Chang committed an error to lead off the sixth inning. With an 11-for-12 success rate on save chances to go with strong ratios, Clase should continue to remain relevant in the late innings for Cleveland, though he'll occasionally cede saves to co-closer James Karinchak.

Szapucki made his MLB debut out of the bullpen in Wednesday's 20-2 loss to Atlanta, giving up six runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings.

New York was already trailing by eight runs when Szapucki was summoned from the bullpen in the bottom of the fourth inning, but the 25-year-old did little to clot the bleeding. Szapucki threw only 42 of his 82 pitches for strikes, and he was hit hard when he found the zone, giving up two home runs and two doubles. The Mets could have an opening in the rotation Monday against Milwaukee after Wednesday's starter, David Peterson, exited early with side soreness, but Szapucki may have disqualified himself from spot-start consideration after his ugly showing in Atlanta.

Wilson pitched a perfect inning, notching one strikeout Wednesday against the Angels.

Following an extended rain delay, Wilson was brought in to relieve starter Domingo German in the fourth inning. The left-hander made easy work of the three batters he faced, needing only 10 pitches to set the side down in order. Wilson should settle back into the team's bullpen plans moving forward, though he may not receive frequent high-leverage opportunities -- through 16 appearances, he has logged just two holds and one save.
