The Athletics transferred Kuroda-Grauer (groin) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Kuroda-Grauer will now not be eligible for activation until late September, and it's possible his season is over after he had surgery in late July to address a ruptured testicle. The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster.

The Athletics recalled Tur from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

Tur has been rocked for 17 runs over 4.2 innings covering three relief appearances for the Athletics this season. The 27-year-old has logged a 5.87 ERA and 77:41 K:BB across 61.1 frames during his time with Las Vegas.

The Athletics activated Clarke (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Clarke has been out of commission since late April, first due to a bone bruise in his foot and later because of a severe hamstring strain. The outfielder has hit only .214/.262/.323 with a 38.8 percent strikeout rate in his first 219 big-league plate appearances. However, Clarke's elite defense could mean regular reps in center field down the stretch, with Henry Bolte shifting to left field.

The Royals selected Waters' contract from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Waters has spent all of this season at Triple-A Omaha after being removed from the Royals' 40-man roster in late March, but he's back in the big leagues after posting a .731 OPS with 12 homers and 17 steals for Omaha. The 27-year-old will likely be utilized as an extra outfielder in Kansas City.

The Royals recalled McGee from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

He will give the Royals some additional relief depth in September. McGee has made nine relief appearances this season between the Brewers and Royals, allowing nine runs with a 13:5 K:BB over 14.2 innings.

The Royals recalled Hoffman from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Hoffman permitted two runs with a 2:3 K:BB over 4.2 innings with the Phillies earlier this season, and he holds a 4.81 ERA and 54:26 K:BB across 43 innings at the Triple-A level in 2026. The 29-year-old reliever was acquired from Philadelphia in a minor trade last month.

Ward is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.

Ward has been dreadful since being acquired by the Mariners at the trade deadline, slashing .121/.227/.152 across 19 contests. As a result, he might find himself on the short side of a platoon moving forward. Lazaro Montes has been called up and is slotted in at designated hitter for Seattle on Tuesday.

Prielipp is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opener Andrew Morris during Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Matthew Leach of MLB.com reports.

Though manager Derek Shelton hasn't officially confirmed that Prielipp will work as a bulk reliever, Tuesday would have been the rookie left-hander's turn in the rotation. Morris hasn't covered more than 3.2 innings in any appearance this season and has pitched no more than two frames since May 3, so he shouldn't be expected to go more than once through the batting order before exiting the contest. Using an opener in front of Prielipp should help the Twins better manage his workload; between Triple-A and the majors, the 25-year-old has covered 117.2 innings this season, a 35-inning increase from his 2025 total.

The Red Sox recalled Olds from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The right-hander was optioned to Worcester over the weekend but is already back in the big leagues since Tyron Guerrero (shoulder) landed on the injured list. Olds made six appearances for Boston after getting his first promotion to the majors in mid-August, and he pitched well with an 8:3 K:BB across six scoreless innings.

The Red Sox placed Guerrero on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation.

Guerrero was charged with three runs while recording only one out in Monday's win over the Mariners, and a day later he's now on the IL. Interim manager Chad Tracy said he's "very hopeful" Guerrero will be back when his 15 days are up, per Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. The 35-year-old has been a pleasant surprise in the Boston bullpen this season, collecting a 3.26 ERA and 36:7 K:BB over 38.2 frames.
