The Reds optioned Friedl to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Friedl has made just 11 plate appearances since the beginning of September, going 3-for-9 with two walks and an RBI. He'll now move off the active roster to make room for Oswaldo Cabrera, who was claimed off waivers from the Yankees on Friday.

The Reds optioned Aguiar to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Aguiar gave up two earned runs in three innings in his season debut after being called up from Triple-A on Friday. He'll now head back to Louisville in favor of Zach McCambley in an effort to keep Cincinnati's bullpen stocked with fresh arms.

Cabrera joined the Reds' active roster Saturday.

Cabrera seemed destined to join the Reds' Triple-A affiliate when he was claimed off waivers from the Yankees on Friday, but Cincinnati will instead add him to its active roster to provide depth in both the infield and outfield. TJ Friedl was sent down to Louisville in a corresponding move.

The Reds recalled McCambley from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

The 27-year-old will come up from Triple-A to give the Reds' bullpen an extra fresh arm to work with, replacing Julian Aguiar. McCambley has allowed four earned runs in 8.2 innings with the Reds this season and will likely be limited to middle-relief duty.

Turang isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore.

The Brewers will load their lineup with mostly right-handed bats Saturday against lefty starter Trevor Rogers, so the lefty-swinging Turang will move to the bench to begin the game.

The Mets recalled Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

With Jared Young landing on the 7-day concussion IL on Friday, Mauricio joins the active roster to replenish the Mets' infield depth. The 25-year-old owns a .795 OPS across 305 plate appearances at Triple-A this season but has gone just 9-for-50 in the majors.

The Mets reinstated Perez (forearm) from the injured list Saturday.

A left forearm strain has kept Perez out of action since July 31, but he's now been cleared to return to the Mets' bullpen after firing four shutout innings in four rehab outings in the minors. He'll replace Cameron Weston on the active roster and will likely work in middle relief after turning in a 4.97 ERA across 41.2 frames while healthy.

The Mets optioned Weston to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

The Mets brought Weston up from Triple-A on Thursday, but he'll now head back down to the minors without appearing in a game. Cionel Perez (forearm) was activated from the injured list to fill the open spot in New York's bullpen.

Hentges (forearm) threw a scoreless inning while striking out two in Triple-A Sacramento's 6-4 loss to Reno on Friday.

Hentges was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 30 (retroactive to Aug. 27) due to a left forearm strain. The southpaw began a rehab assignment with Sacramento on Friday, throwing nine of his 14 pitches for strikes. He's running out of time to return to the big leagues this season, as San Francisco has already been eliminated from postseason contention.

The Cardinals outrighted Strzelecki to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Strzelecki had been removed from the 40-man roster earlier this week and has since passed through waivers. Having been outrighted previously, the 31-year-old has the ability to decline the assignment and become a free agent. Strzelecki has collected a 5.79 ERA and 8:6 K:BB over 14 frames in the majors this season.
