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.

The Blue Jays recalled Lee from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com.

Just four days after being optioned to Buffalo, Lee will rejoin the big-league club on Tuesday. In five appearances with Toronto this year, the 27-year-old owns a 5.06 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 2:5 K:BB and one save through 5.1 innings. The Blue Jays sent Jameson Taillon (forearm) to the 15-day IL on Tuesday, clearing a spot on the active roster for Lee.

The Tigers selected Rainey's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Rainey will make his first appearance in the big leagues this season after having his contract selected by Detroit on Tuesday. The 32-year-old has posted a 5-3 record, 2.32 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 60:26 K:BB through 42.2 innings at Triple-A Toledo this season. Rainey's promotion comes in the wake of Enmanuel De Jesus heading out on paternity leave.

Detroit placed De Jesus on the paternity list on Tuesday, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.

With the birth of his child on the way, the Tigers are placing De Jesus on paternity leave. The 29-year-old can spend up to three days on the paternity list, so he should be back with the Tigers by Friday's series opener versus the White Sox.

The Athletics claimed Rom off waivers from the Brewers on Tuesday.

The left-hander was designated for assignment by the Brewers over the weekend and will retain a 40-man roster spot with the Athletics. Rom was at the Triple-A level for Milwaukee and should report to Triple-A Las Vegas for his new organization. He has a 2.03 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 59:10 K:BB across 40 Triple-A innings this season and also gave up two earned runs on six hits with 11 strikeouts and four walks over 5.2 frames in the majors.

Gage (elbow) threw a bullpen session Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Gage landed on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow strain July 4 and was transferred to the 60-day IL on Aug. 2. The southpaw will continue building up in hopes of rejoining the Giants' bullpen before the end of the season. In 27.1 innings on the campaign, Gage owns a 5.60 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 22:17 K:BB.

Martinez (elbow) is expected to make up to two more rehab appearances before being reinstated from the 60-day injured list, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Making his way back from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, Martinez has made two scoreless rehab appearances with Single-A Visalia, posting a 3:1 K:BB over two hitless innings. According to Gambadoro, Martinez is likely to be activated either Sunday in Atlanta or Monday in Boston. The 25-year-old could reclaim the Diamondbacks' closer job if he looks sharp, though Martinez may first be eased back in with some lower-leverage appearances.

Duarte (1-0) picked up the win Monday over Atlanta, walking one batter over two scoreless, no-hit innings. He didn't strike out a batter.

The Mets cruised to a win after posting a five-spot in the first inning, but starter Christian Scott lasted only four frames before getting the hook. Duarte was credited with the win after holding Atlanta in check in the seventh and eighth innings before handing the ball off to Kodai Senga for the save. Duarte has been stingy since rejoining the big-league bullpen after the All-Star break, and over his last nine appearances and 12.1 innings he's produced a 1.46 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB with one save and two holds in addition to his first win of 2026.

Woods Richardson (2-7) picked up the win over the Red Sox on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over three relief innings. He struck out two.

The lone run off the right-hander came on a bizarre play in the seventh inning when the scoreboard showed the wrong number of outs and both teams lost track, and a Boston runner trotted home without tagging up at third base on a flyout before Toronto got the ball to first base to record a somewhat haphazard double play. Starter Jameson Taillon (forearm) left the game early, and if he ends up landing on the IL, Woods Richardson could be the next man up in the rotation. Over four long-relief appearances for the Jays this season, he's managed a 0.69 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 13 innings despite a poor 7:8 K:BB.
