The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

The 30-year-old lefty has previously made 10 appearances in the big leagues this season between the Mets and Reds, logging a 1.00 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. He's expected to work mostly in the middle innings during his upcoming stint in the New York bullpen.

Curry (1-2) struck out two over 1.2 perfect innings of relief and was credited with a win Sunday in the Marlins' 7-5 victory over the Giants.

After covering five innings with Triple-A Jacksonville on Aug. 23, Curry looked to be a candidate to fill the vacant fifth spot in the Miami rotation following his call-up Wednesday, but the Marlins instead turned to Darren McCaughan on Sunday to fill the opening. Curry, who retired both batters he faced in relief during Saturday's 4-3 win, has yet to allow a baserunner in 2.1 innings with Miami.

Ortiz went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to Cincinnati.

Ortiz did a little bit of everything Sunday, scoring two of Milwaukee's three runs and belting his 20th double of the season. Ortiz is looking to rebound from a rough August in which he slashed .195/.290/.345 with two home runs, 13 RBI and nine runs scored in 28 games. Overall, the 26-year-old owns a .732 OPS with nine home runs, 45 RBI, 47 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 418 plate appearances.

The Dodgers optioned Casparius to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Casparius was sent back to Triple-A one day after making his MLB debut in the Dodgers' 8-6 victory over the Diamondbacks. He tossed a scoreless inning of relief and scooped up the win, but he'll likely move back into a starting role as he rejoins Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers recalled Grove from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Sunday's 14-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. He was used out of the bullpen in the loss, covering 1.2 innings and striking out a batter while allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits.

Grove was summoned from the bullpen in the sixth inning while the Diamondbacks were already sitting on a 10-3 lead with one out and a runner on first. Though he induced an inning-ending double play and went on to complete the seventh inning, Grove's usage in a blowout indicates that the Dodgers don't envision him filling a high-leverage role out of the bullpen down the stretch.

The Dodgers recalled Pages from Triple-A Oklahoma City ahead of Sunday's 14-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. He came off the bench and went 0-for-3 while playing six innings in right field.

After the Diamondbacks put up eight runs in the second inning to effectively ice the game, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts waved the white flag, pulling Mookie Betts and multiple other key hitters from the lineup early. Pages came on to replace Betts, but the rookie outfielder's opportunities are expected to be far more limited in September than they were earlier in the season, when he was essentially a full-time player for the Dodgers from mid-April through mid-August. Along with Betts and All-Star Teoscar Hernandez, trade-deadline acquisition Tommy Edman will likely handle an everyday role in the Los Angeles outfield, leaving little room for Pages.

Williamson did not factor into the decision in Sunday's win over Milwaukee, allowing two earned runs on four hits and zero walks while striking out five in 3.1 innings.

Working his way back from a shoulder injury that sidelined most of the season, Williamson made his 2024 debut Sunday after just one rehab start in the minors. The 26-year-old impressed early on, retiring the first seven batters he faced and logging a strong second inning during which he struck out the side. Williamson slowed down as the game progressed, allowing a sacrifice fly in the third and a solo home run to Willy Adames in the fourth before departing after 66 pitches. Williamson displayed impressive control Sunday, throwing 44 of his 66 pitches for strikes en route to a flawless 5:0 K:BB. The southpaw started 23 games for Cincinnati as a rookie last season, going 5-5 with a 4.46 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 98:39 K:BB in 117 innings.

The Diamondbacks recalled Cecconi from Triple-A Reno prior to Sunday's 14-3 win over the Dodgers.

Cecconi has started in 13 of his 17 appearances for the Diamondbacks this season, but with Arizona's rotation at full strength heading into the final month of the season, the right-hander will fill a relief role this time around. He had already made the transition to the bullpen after being sent down to Reno on Aug. 9, striking out 10 while allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and two walks over 9.2 innings across seven appearances prior to his call-up.

The Diamondbacks recalled Barrosa from Triple-A Reno prior to Sunday's 14-3 win over the Dodgers. He came off the bench in the victory, doubling in his lone at-bat and playing three innings in left field.

Barrosa is back with the big club for the second time this season following a brief stint with the Diamondbacks in April. Though he entered Sunday's game in place of an injured Lourdes Gurriel (leg), Randal Grichuk may be in line ahead of Barrosa to claim a regular spot in the outfield alongside Corbin Carroll and Jake McCarthy if Gurriel ends up missing time. The 23-year-old Barrosa is one of Arizona's better prospects, but he's unproven at the big-league level and turned in a solid but unspectacular .787 OPS in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League this season prior to his promotion.

The Rockies outrighted Davis off the 40-man roster Sunday.

The Rockies optioned Davis to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, and though the team never made a formal announcement that he was designated for assignment, he must have been exposed to waivers at some point prior to Sunday. After going unclaimed, Davis will stick around in the organization as a member of the pitching staff at Albuquerque, where he'll most likely serve as a swingman. Davis had pitched out of the bullpen for Colorado prior to his recent demotion, logging a 5.75 ERA and 1.87 WHIP in 20.1 innings.
