The Angels recalled Moore from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Outfielder Gustavo Campero was also recalled from Salt Lake, while Nolan Schanuel (side) was placed on the 10-day IL and Wade Meckler landed on the 7-day concussion IL. This will be Moore's second big-league stint this season; in his first call-up during the second half of June, he slashed .200/.227/.200 with a 1:11 BB:K over 22 plate appearances. Moore played mostly in left field at that time, but he's starting at second base and batting eighth Saturday, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register.

Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Diaz (neck) will move into a lower-leverage role once he returns from the injured list, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Diaz has given up 18 earned runs in just 13.2 innings with the Dodgers this season, so the team will plan to give him what Roberts termed as a "softer landing" once he's healthy with the goal of eventually having him reclaim the closer's role. The 32-year-old righty landed on the injured list Tuesday due to neck inflammation, but he threw a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to return around the time he's eligible to be activated Sept. 2. Tanner Scott should operate as the Dodgers' primary ninth-inning option until Diaz is healthy and the team is confident he's ready for higher-leverage work.

Cholowsky is battling right wrist soreness and is being shut down for the remainder of the campaign, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Cholowsky last logged game action Aug. 15 and has subsequently been sidelined by the wrist issue. The White Sox are opting to give him time to heal, thus concluding his first professional campaign. After being taken first overall in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft, Cholowsky played in nine games for High-A Winston-Salem, slashing .167/.326/.333 with one home run, three doubles, four runs, 10 RBI, three stolen bases and a 7:9 BB:K.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Glasnow (back) will return from the 60-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Glasnow has been out since May 8 due to lower-back spasms, but he's performed tremendously well during his four minor-league rehab starts, allowing just two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out 20 batters over 13.2 innings. He built up to 77 pitches during his most recent outing at Triple-A, so he likely won't be operating under a heavy workload restriction while he makes his first MLB start in nearly four months. He will return to face an Atlanta lineup that's posted just a .590 OPS across its last 10 games.

Carlson (skin infection) won't play again in 2026, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Carlson fractured his thumb in late May but was able to return less than two months later. However, he's now dealing with a skin infection and is slated to miss the remainder of the campaign. The 20-year-old saw the bulk of his action with Single-A Kannapolis and slashed .256/.388/.338 with no homers, 36 runs, 20 RBI, 13 stolen bases and a 41:58 BB:K over 57 games.

Ohtani (knee) threw a 30-pitch live batting practice session Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

For the first time since making his last appearance as a pitcher July 3, Ohtani faced off against hitters in what marked a major milestone in his recovery from a lingering left knee issue and a more minor triceps injury. Manager Dave Roberts said afterward that Ohtani will likely need to throw one more live BP before getting cleared to pitch in games, but the two-way superstar doesn't seem to be too far away from doing so. Once he's eventually ready to start as a pitcher, Ohtani will likely be operating with a restricted workload and could need to be piggybacked.

Woo (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Woo was removed from his most recent start last Sunday against the Astros after experiencing soreness in his right shoulder. The Mariners skipped Woo's subsequent turn in the rotation, but he was able to throw a bullpen session Thursday and will repeat the activity Sunday. How he comes out of Sunday's session will determine when the Mariners slot him back into their rotation during the upcoming week, per Kramer.

Happ isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle.

The switch-hitting Happ is slashing just .158/.229/.292 through 132 plate appearances against southpaws this season, so the Cubs will keep him on the bench Saturday while highly touted lefty Kade Anderson makes his MLB debut on the mound for the Mariners. Kevin Alcantara will start in left field and bat eighth.

Basallo isn't in the starting lineup versus Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Basallo returned Wednesday from a stint on the injured list caused by a shoulder injury and went 1-for-10 with three strikeouts while starting three straight days. He'll get a breather Saturday with Carlos Narvaez starting at catcher and Pete Alonso getting a day off his feet as the Orioles' DH.

Lawlar isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Cincinnati.

Lawlar will get a breather Saturday after starting four straight games since his return from the injured list, going 3-for-15 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored. Lars Nootbaar, Ryan Waldschmidt and Corbin Carroll will start across the outfield with Lawlar on the bench.
