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.

Davis went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and an RBI against the Royals on Friday.

Davis started behind the plate for the second consecutive game and made an impact at the plate in both contests. He popped his 10th home run of the season Thursday and then provided an insurance run with an infield single Friday. Davis is still having a poor offensive season overall, but he has set career-high marks in homers, RBI and runs scored.

Horwitz went 2-for-3 with a walk, two RBI and two runs scored Friday against the Royals.

Horwitz delivered a two-RBI single in the seventh inning to give the Pirates a lead they wouldn't relinquish. He has struggled significantly since returning in early August, as he's hit just .182 with 13 RBI and seven runs scored across 34 games. However, Horwitz has started to turn things around of late, hitting .333 with five RBI and three runs scored in his last seven contests.
