Reds send Zach Maxwell back to minors

Yesavage will make his return from knee surgery in a start against the Orioles tonight. The Jays are hoping for three innings out of him and then will probably turn the ball over to Spencer Miles.

Dallas has a 6.10 ERA over 10 1/3 innings in four relief appearances for the Jays this season. He finished up with a 3.15 ERA in 12 starts and 15 relief appearance for Buffalo. He’ll be available out of the bullpen tonight.

Arrighetti loses his spot after allowing two runs in 2 1/3 innings on Sunday. He had a 6.35 ERA in two starts and five relief appearances since arriving from Houston in the Daulton Varsho trade.

Mantiply had allowed six runs in 9 1/3 innings since returning from knee surgery on Sept. 1. He has a 3.33 ERA overall in 27 innings this season.

Sabato, the Twins’ first-round pick in 2020, will make his major league debut after hitting .273/.349/.528 with 25 homers in 470 plate appearances for St. Paul. He could see time at first base and DH this week.

Since being readded to the Twins roster five weeks ago, Jackson had gone 1-for-3 with a walk and caught a total of five innings in three games the Twins won a combined 34-3. He’s actually hit .304/.342/.406 in 73 plate appearances in the majors this season, but given that he cleared waivers last month, no one seems to be taking that seriously.

Herz will start tonight against the Tigers and potentially throw 70-75 pitches in his return from Tommy John surgery.

Simpson gave up five runs and walked seven in 4 1/3 innings during his three weeks with the Nationals.

The 27-year-old Henry, who was last in the majors in July, finished the year injured and thus couldn’t be DFA’d to open up his 40-man roster spot. So, he’ll go on release waivers and probably be offered a minor league contract to stick around if he clears. Henry looked like he might turn into a setup man a year ago after shifting to the pen, but he had a 7.90 ERA in 13 2/3 innings for the Nationals this season.

Thompson is about ready to return from a strained back, but he’s ineligible to do so because of the decision to move him to the 60-day IL at the beginning of the month. He won’t be able to come off the IL until the postseason, and it doesn’t currently look like the Diamondbacks will be taking part.
