The Marlins recalled Blalock from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Blalock was acquired from the Rockies in a trade back in January but has spent all season at Jacksonville, posting a 5.61 ERA and 103:46 K:BB over 109 frames covering 23 starts. The right-hander appears set to be deployed in long relief, though he could wind up making a start or two during the final month.

The Padres placed Rengifo (knee) on the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Rengifo was diagnosed with a complete ACL tear and MCL sprain of his right knee Monday, so the move to the 60-day IL is hardly a surprise with him out for the season. The 29-year-old opened the campaign with the Brewers but was cut loose after posting a .534 OPS in 57 games, but he then signed with the Padres and found success with a .784 OPS in 38 contests prior to the injury.

The Padres recalled Brito from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

It will be the third look in the majors this year for Brito, who has made three relief appearances for the Friars and given up two earned runs with a 4:1 K:BB over 5.1 innings. The right-hander could provide some length given that he's worked out of the rotation at Triple-A, where he has a 2.98 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB across 42.1 innings this year.

The Reds recalled Brito from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Brito was picked up from the Guardians at the trade deadline and is now poised to make his Reds debut. The 24-year-old slashed .176/.250/.255 in 15 games with Cleveland earlier this season and has collected a .725 OPS with 11 homers this year at the Triple-A level. Brito is primarily a second baseman but can handle every position on the infield.

The Reds activated Williamson (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Williamson is slated to make a spot start Wednesday versus the Padres, and he will be used in a piggyback role with Chase Burns afterward. The left-hander held a 6.11 ERA and 19:20 K:BB over 28 frames in six starts for the Reds earlier this season and has missed a chunk of the year with a shoulder issue.

The Padres selected Salas' contract from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

The Friars' top prospect, Salas is joining the big-league club for his first look in the majors. The 20-year-old was promoted to the Triple-A level in late July and carried a hot bat in his 24 games at the highest level of the minors with a .326/.410/.539 slash line in 105 plate appearances. Salas should see plenty of reps behind the plate for the Padres down the stretch, with Freddy Fermin -- who is starting Tuesday in Cincinnati -- and Luis Campusano likely to mix in occasionally.

The Cardinals selected Rincon's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Rincon has collected a 4.04 ERA and 88:31 K:BB over 71.1 innings this season at Memphis. The 24-year-old can provide some length in the Cardinals' bullpen and will be making his major-league debut when he enters a game.

The Cardinals recalled Bernal from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Bernal earned the call-up after slashing .278/.363/.468 with 16 home runs across 101 contests for Memphis. He will join fellow catchers Ivan Herrera and Pedro Pages on the roster, but Bernal could receive the lion's share of reps behind the plate in September as the Cardinals look to see where he might fit into their plans for 2027.

The Cardinals recalled Scott from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

Scott slashed only .237/.320/.342 with two homers and 23 steals in 57 games after being sent down to Memphis in early June, but he did hit .270/.356/.360 with 13 stolen bases in August. The speedy outfielder could be used primarily as a defensive replacement and pinch runner in the final month.

The Dodgers recalled Freeland from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Freeland will give the Dodgers protection at multiple positions in the final month of the regular season. The 25-year-old has slashed .231/.309/.313 across 72 games during his time with the big club this season.
