The Marlins transferred Zuber (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Miami placed Zuber on the 15-day IL on Saturday after he was diagnosed with a right lat strain, and his move to the 60-day IL two days later confirms that he won't pitch again in 2025. The Marlins called up right-hander Luarbert Arias from Triple-A Jacksonville to replace Zuber on the 40-man roster.

The Marlins recalled Petersen from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Petersen was acquired from Atlanta in exchange for cash back in July. The 31-year-old right-hander has appeared in 12 games (one start) for Jacksonville since the trade, registering a 6.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB across 12 innings. He'll likely be ticketed for low-leverage work out of the Miami bullpen.

The Marlins transferred Bender (tibia) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Bender had already been ruled out for the season after being diagnosed Aug. 19 with a right tibial stress reaction, so his move to the 60-day IL merely opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for one of the Marlins' three September call-ups. Before getting shut down with the injury, Bender appeared in 51 games out of the Miami bullpen and logged a 2.16 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB while collecting three wins, four saves and 19 holds in 50 innings.

The Athletics transferred Bowden (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

Bowden landed on the 15-day IL on Aug. 22 after straining his left lat, and his move to the 60-day IL officially ends his season. The 30-year-old reliever posted a 4.22 ERA and 7:5 K:BB over 10.2 frames with the big club.

Senga may be removed from the rotation as the Mets try to hang onto a playoff spot in September, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports. "We're going to have some discussion about what's next for him," manager Carlos Mendoza said after Sunday's loss to the Marlins, during which Senga coughed up five runs in 4.2 innings.

The 32-year-old right-hander hasn't been able to regain his form since returning from a hamstring injury just before the All-Star break, and things were particularly grim for Senga in August as he stumbled to a 6.18 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 27:14 K:BB over six starts and 27.2 innings. The Mets should get Tylor Megill (elbow) back from the 60-day injured list as soon as Sunday and are trying to keep a starting spot available for rookie Jonah Tong, so they have the depth to bump Senga from the rotation until he shows signs of a turnaround. New York currently sits six games back of Philadelphia in the NL East, and four games ahead of Cincinnati for the final wild-card spot in the Senior Circuit.

The Athletics recalled Schuemann from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Schuemann was sent down to the minors on Aug. 22 after slashing only .200/.303/.288 in 188 plate appearances, but he's back in the big leagues with the Athletics' active roster expanding to 28 men Monday. The 28-year-old will fill a utility role in September.

The Athletics optioned Nunez to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Acquired from the Padres in a July 31 trade, Nunez has been roughed up for eight runs with a 9:7 K:BB in eight relief innings during his time with the Athletics. The 26-year-old has the potential to develop into a late-inning weapon, but he'll head back to the minors for now.

The Astros designated Davidson for assignment Monday.

Davidson will give up his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Luis Garcia (elbow), who was activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday versus the Angels. Since being claimed off waivers from the Athletics in July and getting sent to Triple-A Sugar Land, Davidson is hitting .207 with a 34.4 percent strikeout rate in 22 games.

The Athletics selected McGough's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

McGough inked a minor-league contract with the Athletics back in June after being cut loose by the Diamondbacks. He's posted a 3.58 ERA and 37:12 K:BB over 37.2 innings at the Triple-A level in 2025 but has yielded five runs with a 5:6 K:BB in seven frames in the big leagues this season.

The Astros activated Trammell (neck) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Trammell had been out of action for the Astros since Aug. 20, when he sustained a neck strain after a face-first collision with the outfield wall. The 27-year-old was able to complete a three-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land over the weekend and now appears set to fill a depth role in the Houston outfield in September. Over 112 plate appearances in the majors this season, Trammell is slashing .208/.313/.354 with three home runs, two stolen bases, 11 RBI and 10 runs.
