The Pirates recalled Triolo from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Triolo is expected to take over as the primary third baseman in Pittsburgh now that Ke'Bryan Hayes is on the Reds. Triolo has slashed just .158/.253/.266 with 10 RBI and 12 runs scored through 160 plate appearances this season, but his glove should be enough to keep him in the lineup most days.

The Pirates recalled Nicolas from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Nicolas will rejoin the Pirates' bullpen after the team shipped Taylor Rogers and David Bednar elsewhere prior to Thursday's trade deadline. Nicolas has coughed up 10 earned runs over 12 innings in the majors and will likely work in low-leverage spots while in Pittsburgh.

The Pirates recalled Harrington from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Harrington has surrendered nine earned runs in only eight MLB innings this season, and he carries a 5.48 ERA through 90.1 frames in Triple-A. Despite his performance, he'll be awarded a spot on the Pirates' pitching staff after Pittsburgh traded away David Bednar, Bailey Falter and Taylor Rogers on Thursday.

The Padres designated Wade for assignment Friday.

Wade will lose his spots on the 26-man and 40-man rosters to help make room for the numerous additions San Diego made before Thursday's trade deadline. The 30-year-old utility man has slashed .206/.309/.252 through 127 plate appearances in the big leagues this season.

The Padres optioned Marinaccio to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

The Padres had to clear room on their active roster following their shopping spree ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, and Marinaccio will end up as one of the casualties. The 30-year-old righty threw 2.2 shutout innings while striking out four batters during his brief stint in the majors, and he could still be an option to return to San Diego if/when the Padres need a fresh bullpen arm down the stretch.

Waddell (hip) is expected to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton on Saturday.

The Mets optioned Waddell shortly after the All-Star break, only to reverse that move and place him on the 15-day injured list with a right hip impingement. He's now ready for game action and doesn't figure to require a lengthy rehab assignment, but it's uncertain what kind of role he will have over the final two months of the regular season (if any). New York bolstered its bullpen with Ryan Helsley, Tyler Rogers and Gregory Soto prior to Thursday's trade deadline.

Chourio received a PRP injection in his injured hamstring, and manager Pat Murphy said Friday that the outfielder will be out beyond the 10-day minimum, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Chourio injured his right hamstring during Tuesday's win over the Cubs, and the skipper has since revealed that the issue is "a little more severe" than initially thought. While the Brewers have not offered up a timetable for Chourio's return, he will almost certainly miss more than the minimum required by his IL stint, and Murphy suggested the 21-year-old could be sidelined for a month or longer. Blake Perkins is in center field for Milwaukee on Friday against lefty Mitchell Parker.

Palencia gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 15th save of the season in a 1-0 win over the Orioles.

The right-hander needed only nine pitches (six strikes) to get the job done, but he came close to blowing the save, as a two-out double by Adley Rutschman was followed by a deep fly from Tyler O'Neill that backed Ian Happ up to the ivy at Wrigley Field for the final out. Palencia hasn't given up an earned run since June 21, posting a 0.00 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 12:1 K:BB in 11.2 innings over his last 12 appearances while converting eight save chances.

Horton (5-3) picked up the win in Friday's 1-0 victory over the Orioles, allowing two hits and three walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out three.

A Baltimore lineup that got depleted at the trade deadline was no match for Horton and the Cubs bullpen, with the rookie right-hander generating 24 called or swinging strikes in only 71 pitches (44 total strikes). Horton extended his scoreless streak to 17.2 innings with the performance, and on the season he sports a 3.42 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 53:25 K:BB through 73.2 innings. He'll look to produce more goose eggs in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Reds.

DeSclafani will start Friday's game against the Athletics, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

DeSclafani has pitched well for Arizona since signing with the team in mid-June, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB in 23.1 innings, and he will be rewarded with his second start of the campaign in Friday's series opener. He could end up sticking in the rotation after the Diamondbacks traded Merrill Kelly to Texas on Thursday. DeSclafani has a long injury history, most recently battling a flexor tendon injury that cost him all of 2024.
