The Astros placed Ort on the 15-day injured list Friday due to right elbow inflammation, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Ort was roughed up in Thursday's loss to the Yankees, surrendering four runs on three hits and two walks while recording just two outs. He'll now miss at least the next couple weeks. On the season, Ort has a 4.89 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 49:27 K:BB across 46 innings. Houston's bullpen continues to be hit hard by injuries.

Ashcraft took a no-decision in his start during Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers, striking out four batters while allowing two hits and four walks over three scoreless frames.

After working at least five innings in each of his last three starts, Ashcraft tossed just 71 pitches before being lifted from Wednesday's contest. Ashcraft's early exit looks to have been a pre-planned arrangement; the right-hander has now totaled 103.2 innings between the majors and Triple-A Indianapolis this season, an increase of nearly 30 innings from what he covered during his time in the minors in 2024. The Pirates are also looking to manage the workload of one of their other young starters in Mike Burrows, who was moved to the bullpen last week and ended up tossing three innings in relief of Ashcraft on Wednesday. Though Ashcraft should continue to make starts for the Pirates, it wouldn't be surprising if he was deployed in tandem with Burrows in his future turns through the rotation.

The Marlins designated Arias for assignment Friday.

Arias has been designated for assignment by Miami for the second time this season. In seven appearances with the Marlins, he's surrendered 13 runs on 17 hits and five walks across 10.1 innings. He's posted a 3.93 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP in 18.1 innings with Triple-A Jacksonville. His spot on the active roster will go to Josh Simpson, while Jack Winkler takes the open spot on the 40-man roster.

Seymour is slated to start Friday's game against the Cardinals in St. Louis.

He'll be making his second straight turn through the rotation despite underwhelming in his first MLB start this past Saturday, when he took a loss to the Orioles after giving up four earned runs on five hits and two walks over three innings. Altogether, Seymour holds a 4.74 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB across 24.2 frames in the big leagues. Keeping the ball in the yard has proven to be a challenge for the righty, who has already yielded eight home runs.

The Marlins recalled Simpson from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Simpson (2-2) has appeared in 23 games out of the Miami bullpen this season and has an ugly 8.87 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB across 22.1 innings of work. He'll likely fill a middle-relief role for the Marlins.

The Blue Jays optioned Tate to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Tate has appeared in six games out of the bullpen for Toronto this season, registering a 4.26 ERA, 2.21 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB across 6.1 innings of work. The Blue Jays recalled Braydon Fisher in a corresponding move.

The Blue Jays recalled Fisher from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Fisher has twirled 5.1 shutout innings since he was demoted to Triple-A on Aug. 20. In a corresponding move, Toronto optioned Dillon Tate to Buffalo.

Hurter (back) could start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo this weekend, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Hurter was sent down to Triple-A on Aug. 17 and was placed on the injured list with back soreness without making an appearance for Toledo. The 26-year-old has posted a 2.45 ERA in 58.2 innings with the Tigers this season, and once healthy, he's expected to rejoin the big-league bullpen for the tail end of the regular season.

Bellozo is slated to start Friday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Bellozo opened the season as a starter for Miami, but despite turning in a 3.27 ERA in 22 innings over his first five outings, he was dispatched to the bullpen in mid-May. With injuries having piled up in the Miami rotation of late, Bellozo will now get the chance to pick up his sixth start of the season, but he could be headed back to a relief role after Friday's contest. In his most recent appearance this part Friday against the Mets, Bellozo tossed 4.1 innings and 65 pitches out of the bullpen, so he should be able to provide the Marlins with a decent amount of length in his first start since May 13.

The Tigers placed Finnegan on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 1, with a right adductor strain, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Finnegan suffered the injury while warming up in the bullpen Wednesday, and he'll require a stint on the injured list. Finnegan hasn't allowed a run since being traded from the Nationals to the Tigers, logging a 19:3 K:BB across 14.1 innings. Tommy Kahnle and Tyler Holton should serve in a setup role for closer Will Vest. Parker Meadows (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
