Waguespack (1-1) tossed two scoreless innings of relief and earned the win in Tuesday's 6-4 victory over the Guardians. He allowed two hits and a walk.

Drew Anderson, who has mostly worked in relief this season, got the start for Detroit and held his own across four innings. However, he didn't go long enough to qualify for the win, which opened the door for Waguespack, who worked the fifth and sixth. The righty earned his first win in the majors since he won five games as a rookie back in 2019. Waguespack isn't in a super fantasy-friendly role at the moment, but he's pitched well this year with 1.52 ERA and 0.89 WHIP across 23.2 innings out of Detroit's bullpen.

Junis (adductor) completed a bullpen session Tuesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Junis was able to throw roughly 20 pitches during Tuesday's session, and he announced that he will throw another bullpen Thursday. The team is expected to reassess the right-hander's status after Thursday, as he continues to work his way back from a left adductor strain that has sidelined him since July 30. Junis is eligible to be activated from the 15-day injured list Thursday, but a return in late August now appears to be a more realistic goal.

Treinen (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Treinen has been on the injured list since June 20 while recovering from right elbow inflammation, and he was able to face live hitters July 29. The 38-year-old will still be eligible to be activated from the IL late next week, though he will likely require a multi-outing minor-league rehab assignment, making a return in late August or early September more likely. In a corresponding move, Blake Snell (elbow) was activated from the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

The Dodgers optioned Barnes to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Barnes was brought up to the big club Monday, but he'll now be pushed off the active roster without making an appearance for the Dodgers to make room for Blake Snell (elbow), who returned from the IL to start Tuesday's game against Kansas City. Barnes has given up 10 runs in 13 major-league innings this season but could return to Los Angeles down the stretch to provide a fresh bullpen arm.

The Brewers signed Wilson to a one-year contract Tuesday.

Wilson had lost his roster spot with the Brewers on Aug. 8 when he was designated for assignment in favor of Lyon Richardson. However, The Brewers are designating Richardson for assignment Tuesday in favor of Wilson. Wilson has a 4.24 ERA across 23.1 innings on the season.

The Yankees placed Castro on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Monday, with right elbow neuritis.

In a corresponding move Tuesday, the Yankees recalled Bradley Hanner from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Castro had made three appearances since getting recalled Aug. 3. In that stretch, he allowed no runs on one hit and a 4:2 K:BB across 3.2 innings.

The Yankees recalled Hanner from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Hanner is set for his first career big-league stint after being called up to the Yankees on Tuesday. With Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the 27-year-old owns a 6-2 record, 2.10 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 61:24 K:BB in 51.1 innings this season. The Yankees sent Kervin Castro (elbow) to the 15-day injured list to make room for Hanner in the bullpen.

Philadelphia recalled McFarlane from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

McFarlane will begin his second stint with the big-league club this season after being recalled Tuesday. The 25-year-old most recently appeared at the big-league level July 22, recording a scoreless inning against the Dodgers. The right-hander has dazzled with Double-A Reading and Triple-A Lehigh Valley, pitching to a 1.83 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 55:20 K:BB in 39.1 innings. The Phillies optioned Alan Rangel to Lehigh Valley to open a spot on the 26-man roster.

The Reds optioned McCambley to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

McCambley appeared in three games, allowing one earned run over three innings with the big-league club before being sent back to Triple-A on Tuesday. The right-hander has spent most of his time this year in Triple-A with both Louisville and Jacksonville (Miami's Triple-A affiliate), registering a 4-1 record, 2.57 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 60:23 K:BB in 49 innings. With Nick Lodolo (finger) returning from the IL, Cincinnati needed to clear a roster spot.

Vest (elbow) underwent hip surgery Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Vest had already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 season after previously undergoing elbow surgery to address a stress fracture. He's now looking at dual rehabs and is expected to be sidelined for several months. The 31-year-old Vest recorded a 6.08 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB across 26.2 innings over 27 appearances this season.
