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

He's taking the roster spot vacated by Marcus Semien (hip), who was placed on the injured list earlier Thursday. Mauricio could see some action at second base while Semien is out, though Brett Baty is likely to be the primary option at the keystone. Mauricio is 7-for-32 with one home run and a 0:12 BB:K over 10 games at the big-league level in 2026.

The Mets recalled Duarte from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Duarte will join the big club for the third time this season to provide the Mets with additional bullpen depth while the team works through how to replace the recently traded David Peterson in the rotation. Duarte has given up just one hit and one walk while striking out three batters in five scoreless innings in the majors this season.

The Mets placed Semien on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left hip flexor strain.

Semien played every inning of both legs of Wednesday's doubleheader but evidently picked up a hip injury in the process. It's not clear at this point how long the veteran infielder will be sidelined. Brett Baty will likely see the bulk of the reps at second base while Semien is out.

The Mets returned Pintaro to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Pintaro was added to the active roster as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cubs, and he'll return to Syracuse now that his services are no longer required by the big club. The 28-year-old righty has given up seven earned runs in 12.1 innings with the Mets this season.

Wilson (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in San Francisco.

Wilson was forced to exit Wednesday's contest when he injured his left shoulder on a play at home plate. It's the same shoulder he dislocated earlier this season, costing him a month of action at the time. It's not yet clear whether the apparent aggravation of that injury will lead to another extended absence for Wilson, but the fact he wasn't placed on the injured list prior to Thursday's contest is seemingly a good sign. Alika Williams is filling in at shortstop in the series finale.

The Athletics placed Gelof on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right hand contusion.

Gelof suffered a laceration and contusion when he got his hand stepped on in Tuesday's contest in San Francisco. The injury had seemed relatively minor initially, but Gelof ultimately was unable to avoid the IL. Max Muncy has seen a dip in playing time lately, but he should be back in the lineup on a regular basis while Gelof is sidelined.

The Athletics recalled Williams from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

The 27-year-old will return to the active roster as the replacement for Zack Gelof (hand), who landed on the injured list Thursday. Williams has been fairly productive during his time in the big leagues, slashing .289/.319/.467 with a homer, five RBI and six runs scored across 48 plate appearances with the A's. However, he'll likely be limited to a bench role while Max Muncy sees the largest increase in playing time with Gelof on the shelf.

The Diamondbacks will recall Burgos from Triple-A Reno before Thursday's contest in St. Louis, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

He'll provide a fresh bullpen arm after the Diamondbacks' relievers were needed for six innings in Wednesday's win over the Cardinals. Burgos has struggled this season at Reno, collecting a 6.59 ERA and 19:13 K:BB over 28.2 innings.

The Diamondbacks will option Tawa to Triple-A Reno prior to Thursday's contest versus the Cardinals, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

His roster spot will be filled by Max Kepler, who is returning from an 80-game PED suspension. Tawa has had multiple stints with the Diamondbacks this season but has played sparingly, putting up a .536 OPS across 76 plate appearances.

The Cubs designated Zulueta for assignment Thursday.

The transaction clears space on the 40-man roster for the addition of David Peterson, who was acquired via trade. Zulueta was a trade acquisition himself earlier this month after having been booted from the Mariners' 40-man roster. He'll go through the waivers process again.
