The Dodgers transferred Klein (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Klein initially landed on the injured list Aug. 1 due to bone chips in his right elbow, so his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out through the end of the regular season. His 40-man roster spot will be passed along to Blake Treinen (elbow), who returned from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

The Dodgers reinstated Treinen (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Treinen will rejoin the Dodgers' bullpen after pitching 6.1 shutout innings between Single-A and Triple-A during his rehab assignment, striking out eight batters in the process. Eric Lauer (elbow) was placed on the 15-day IL to create space on Los Angeles' active roster, and Will Klein (elbow) moved to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot.

Mautz will start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

He has made two relief appearances with the Cardinals this season, but Mautz will be making his first career start in the majors Wednesday in a tough matchup opposite Yoshinobu Yamamoto under the bright lights in Los Angeles. The lefty Mautz, a second-round pick in 2022, threw 61 pitches against the Pirates in his most recent appearance Aug. 29, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out eight across three relief innings.

Berroa (elbow) is scheduled to begin throwing off a mound next week, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Berroa has been on the injured list all season while working his way back from Tommy John surgery and a setback he suffered while pitching in the Arizona Complex League. He was cleared to resume throwing in early July, and although his progress has been slow, the White Sox haven't ruled out a return for the 26-year-old before the end of the season.

Morillo earned the save in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Phillies, walking one and striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Morillo was tasked with facing the top of the Phillies' order in the ninth inning after Arizona took a 1-0 lead in the eighth. He promptly struck out Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner, earning his third save of the season. Morillo has been stellar of late, delivering 17 straight scoreless innings to stake his claim as the Diamondbacks' primary closer. His ERA now sits at 2.11 across 55.1 innings this year with a 1.05 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB.

Brazoban (lat) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday, James Fegan of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Brazoban landed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 25 with a left lat strain, so he shouldn't require a lengthy rehab stint with Charlotte. Picked up at the trade deadline from the Mets, Brazoban has been hit hard in 10 appearances with Chicago, allowing seven runs on 12 hits and six walks with just five strikeouts across 10 innings.

The Mets are leaning toward recalling Tong from Triple-A Syracuse to make a start early next week in Miami, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Tong has had a disappointing season at Syracuse, posting a 4.54 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 126:59 K:BB over 107 innings. He's pitched well of late, though, logging a 2.39 ERA in August and tossing 12.2 scoreless frames over his last two outings. Tong could make additional starts down the stretch for the Mets, though that could depend on how he pitches next week, if he is indeed officially tapped to make a start.

The Brewers activated Kuhnel (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and designated him for assignment, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Kuhnel is recovered from the right rotator cuff tendinopathy that sent him to the IL in early July, but the Brewers have decided they don't have room for the reliever on their roster. The 31-year-old has authored a 4.84 ERA and 22:12 K:BB over 35.1 innings between the Athletics and Brewers in 2026.

The Mets optioned Ross to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Ross tossed a perfect inning of relief Tuesday versus the Rays in his major-league debut, but he's now headed back to Syracuse to make roster space for the return of Justin Hagenman (rib). The righty reliever should be back in the big leagues later this month.

Bachman (forearm) has been throwing bullpens in Arizona and pitched in the Arizona Bridge League on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

Bachman landed on the IL in early August due to right forearm radial nerve inflammation. The 26-year-old reliever resumed throwing within a week, but he didn't begin to toss bullpens until near the end of the month. It appears Bachman is taking tangible steps toward a return, and he's expected to get in some rehab outings with a minor-league club in the near future. He could be back with the Angels before the halfway point of September.
