    Royals recalled RHP Jose Cuas from Triple-A Omaha.

    Cuas is up to take the roster spot of Stephen Kolek with Kolek going on the family medical emergency list before Saturday’s game against the Phillies. He’ll be a bullpen option for Kansas City while he’s with the club.

    Cuas was just optioned to Triple-A on Monday, but with Maikel Garcia (hamstring) hitting the injured list on Friday, they’re able to bring him back before the 10 days are up. The 32-year-old hurler holds a stellar 1.64 ERA and a 13/4 K/BB ratio despite a shaky 1.46 WHIP over 11 innings in 10 appearances with the Royals this season. He’ll function in a middle relief role once again for manager Matt Quatraro.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas’s latest stint with the Royals is going to be remembered for his hesitation delivery to Dodgers slugger Max Muncy. That’s pretty much it. The 32-year-old heads back to the minors after forging a respectable 1.64 ERA across 11 innings of work.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas is up to join the Royals pen for a third time this season after allowing two runs in 6 1/3 innings the first two go arounds. He has a career 4.30 ERA in 125 2/3 innings since debuting in 2022.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas pitched in five games with the Royals in this latest stint, and he now carries a 2.84 ERA, nine strikeouts, one walk and eight hits allowed in 6 1/3 innings pitched. He did allow some inherited runners to score, we suppose, but we’re mildly surprised the Royals aren’t interested in seeing more. After 32 pitches over the past two days, he heads back to the Storm Chasers.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas time with the big league club lasted just one day this time around as the 32-year-old hurler heads back to Triple-A Omaha with Stephen Kolek returning from the family medical emergency list on Thursday. Cuas allowed one run on two hits while striking out three batters over two innings against the Rays on Wednesday.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas finds himself back with the Royals after spending the first three months of the year toiling away on the doorstep of the majors. The 32-year-old made 92 appearances for Kansas City from 2022-2023 and hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since the 2024 campaign.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas returns to the Royals; the organization he’s had the most MLB success with in his short career. The 31-year-old will need to have a strong spring training if he’s going to join the Kansas City bullpen.
  • ATL Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas was in camp this spring with the Phillies after making 13 relief appearances last year between the Cubs and Blue Jays. The 30-year-old righty provides Atlanta with some extra organizational relief depth. He holds a serviceable 4.37 ERA across 119 1/3 innings (132 appearances) in the majors since 2022.
  • PHI 2nd Baseman #29
    Castro represents the lone position player shipped out to minor league camp in the latest batch of Phillies cuts. There are a handful of notable relief options sent packing here with Vespi, McMillion, Zuniga, Cuas and Kuhnel all likely to get chances in Philadelphia as middle relief depth. Aoyagi pitched well in three spring appearances after signing a minor-league contract with the Phillies. He’ll open the year back at Triple-A Lehigh Valley as extra depth.
  • PHI Relief Pitcher #74
    Cuas went unclaimed after being designated for assignment near the end of December. The right-hander could elect free agency, but if not he’ll provide some depth for the Philly staff in the minors for the 2025 campaign.

    Graham Ashcraft, out since the end of May with a sprained UCL, is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville.

    Ashcraft opted for rest and rehab over surgery, so now it’s time to put his arm to the test. He had a 3.33 ERA in 26 appearances in a setup role before getting hurt.

    Marlins placed RHP Pete Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list with right median nerve irritation.

    It’s the usual issue for Fairbanks. He might be back in 15 days and get the closer’s role back for the end of the season. Until then, Calvin Faucher is probably the favorite for saves in the Marlins pen, making him a decent pickup for those with a need.

    Marlins recalled LHP Dax Fulton from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Fulton, a starter in the first half of the season, has been working as a reliever in the minors since being sent down on Aug. 4, and the Marlins figure to use him in the middle innings. He has a 4.50 ERA and a 12/10 K/BB in 14 innings in the majors this season.

    Athletics transferred SS Jacob Wilson from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list.

    This officially puts Wilson out for the year after 80 games in which he hit .268/.298/.388 with seven homers and four steals. It probably won’t be long before we get an announcement about him requiring shoulder surgery.

    Athletics claimed RHP Chris Roycroft off waivers from the Rays.

    The 29-year-old Roycroft, DFA’d on Sunday, has an 8.39 ERA in 24 2/3 innings for the Cardinals and Rays this season. He’s in his final option year, so the A’s have the choice of sending him to Triple-A for now or immediately adding him to their pen.

    Blue Jays placed RHP Shane Bieber on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Aug. 21, with right teres major inflammation.

    This is a nasty surprise. Bieber had allowed just one run in each of his last two starts, taking him to 5-2 with a 4.53 ERA in 11 starts overall. No word yet on his chances of making it back before the end of the season, but it’s probably safe to drop him. The Jays could turn the rotation spot over to Simeon Woods Richardson for now or perhaps start the newly recalled Chad Dallas on Wednesday.

    Blue Jays recalled RHP Chad Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo.

    The 25-year-old Dallas has given up seven runs over 7 2/3 innings in four stints with the Blue Jays this season. He can be optioned to the minors just once before having to go on waivers.

    Nationals designated RHP Trevor Williams for assignment.

    The move makes room for waiver claim Matt Waldron on the active roster. Williams had posted a 2.65 ERA in 17 innings out of the pen since returning from elbow surgery last month, but since he’s 34 and a free agent at season’s end, the Nationals decided to take a look at someone younger.
