Mey has done a nice job in five appearances for the Reds this season, compiling a 3.38 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 13/5 K/BB ratio across eight innings. It shouldn’t take long for him to earn another opportunity with the big league club. Jose Franco was recalled from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move on Sunday.

P.J. Higgins

CIN Catcher #96

Reds selected the contract of C P.J. Higgins from Triple-A Louisville.

Higgins had been designated for assignment and sent outright to Triple-A Louisville earlier in the week, but he’ll return with Jose Trevino (hamstring) heading right back to the injured list. Higgins has gone 2-for-10 (.200) in his limited action with the Reds this season. He’ll once again serve as the understudy to Tyler Stephenson.

Trevino suffered the injury during Saturday’s game against the Guardians. He’ll miss at least a couple of weeks. P.J. Higgins returned from Triple-A Louisville to serve as the Reds’ backup behind Tyler Stephenson.

Adam Macko

TOR Starting Pitcher #64

Blue Jays recalled LHP Adam Macko from Triple-A Buffalo.

It’s the first trip to the big leagues for the 25-year-old southpaw. Macko registered a 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 19/8 K/BB ratio across 18 innings out of the bullpen at Triple-A Buffalo. He’ll settle into a middle relief role for the Jays.

Tommy Nance

TOR Relief Pitcher #45

Blue Jays placed RHP Tommy Nance on the 15-day injured list with right forearm discomfort.

Forearm discomfort is usually a precursor to elbow issues, so don’t be surprised if Nance misses more than the minimum time on the injured list. Nance had pitched relatively well in his 19 appearances, posting a 4.05 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and a 24/8 K/BB ratio over 20 innings of work. Adam Macko was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to take his place in the Jays’ bullpen.

Cameron Foster

BAL Relief Pitcher #65

Orioles recalled RHP Cameron Foster from Triple-A Norfolk.

Foster, 27, has made five appearances for the Orioles this season, posting a troublesome 5.87 ERA, 2.35 WHIP and a 9/6 K/BB ratio across 7 2/3 innings. He’ll function in a middle relief role for the Orioles.

Josh Walker

BAL Relief Pitcher #61

Orioles optioned LHP Josh Walker to Triple-A Norfolk.

The demotion comes as a bit of a surprise as Walker has pitched well in his limited action for the Orioles, hurling three scoreless innings with a 0.67 WHIP and a 4/1 K/BB ratio. He should get another opportunity with the big league club in relatively short order.

Ryan O'Hearn

O’Hearn sustained the injury during Saturday’s contest against the Phillies. No word yet on the severity of the strain or how much time the 32-year-old slugger may stand to miss. Jake Mangum was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Before he was sidelined, Mangum had been hitting .260/.333/.288 with zero homers, three RBI and five stolen bases in his first 82 plate appearances. Ryan O’Hearn (quad) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move on Sunday.
