The move corresponds with the Angels reinstating Ryan Zeferjahn (knee) from the 15-day injured list.

Ryan Jeffers C | MIN
Twins' Ryan Jeffers: Not yet cleared for games
Jeffers (concussion) will travel with the Twins on their final road trip this week but has yet to be cleared to play in games, MLB.com reports.
Jeffers has been sidelined for the past two-plus weeks with a concussion. He has been able to go through most baseball activities, but Jeffers has yet to clear concussion protocol and it's uncertain whether that will happen before the end of the regular season. If Jeffers is unable to make it back this week, Christian Vazquez -- who was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday -- will serve as the Twins' primary catcher.

Orioles' Adley Rutschman: Reinstated from injured list
The Orioles activated Rutschman (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Rutschman has missed the last month-plus with a right oblique strain but will rejoin the Orioles' active roster for the final week of the regular season. He and Samuel Basallo should share catching duties in the final week, with both players also likely to see action action at designated hitter. Basallo could play some first base, as well.

Luis Vazquez SS | BAL
Orioles' Luis Vazquez: Dispatched to minors
The Orioles optioned Vazquez to the minors Monday.
He'll give up his spot on the 28-man active roster to catcher Adley Rutschman (oblique), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Vazquez had played sparingly since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Aug. 1, appearing in 24 games while batting .189 with one home run and two steals.

Carlos Vargas RP | SEA
Mariners' Carlos Vargas: Limping toward end of season
Vargas allowed one run on one hit in 1.2 innings Sunday against the Astros. He struck out one.
Vargas has been a liability out of the Seattle bullpen of late, giving up at least one run in three of his last four outings. The right-hander has mostly worked as a middle reliever and in low-leverage situations in 2025, and that's unlikely to change at this stage of the season while the Mariners try to clinch a playoff berth. Through 74 frames, Vargas has a 4.01 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 51:23 K:BB with 14 holds while converting just one of his eight save opportunities.
