Phillies optioned RHPs Yoniel Curet and Moisés Chace to Double-A Reading; optioned RHP Jean Cabrera and OF Gabriel Rincones Jr. to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Curet came over in an offseason trade with the Rays and offers enough strikeout upside to envision a back-end rotation or multi-inning relief role down the road. He’ll need to iron out some control issues to reach that potential. Chace and Cabrera are among the better pitching prospects in Philadelphia’s system and should ascend to the majors later this year.

Ronel Blanco (elbow) will be activated from the injured list to start for the Astros on Monday against the Marlins.

The 32-year-old right-hander has been shelved since undergoing an internal brace procedure last June and is finally ready to contribute at the big league level once again. Tatsuya Imai will be pushed back to Tuesday with Peter Lambert getting the ball for Wednesday’s series finale.

Padres activated LHP Wandy Peralta from the bereavement list.

The 34-year-old southpaw rejoins the Padres’ bullpen for Sunday’s series finale against the Royals. Peralta has been a key cog in the club’s bullpen this season, compiling a 2.23 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 31/19 K/BB ratio across 48 1/3 innings of work. Ron Marinaccio was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Padres designated RHP Ron Marinaccio for assignment.

Marinaccio has made 33 appearances out of the Padres’ bullpen this season, registering a 4.79 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and a 38/18 K/BB ratio over 47 innings of work. With so many teams looking for bullpen help, it’s possible that he could attract interest on waivers.

Padres optioned RHP Jhony Brito to Triple-A El Paso.

Brito was just recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday to add an extra arm to the bullpen, but he’ll head back to Triple-A with Randy Vásquez returning from the injured list on Sunday. He’ll stay ready at Triple-A El Paso until he’s needed once more.

Padres activated RHP Randy Vásquez from the 15-day injured list.

The 27-year-old hurler had been sidelined since July 3 due to a right ankle bruise. He’s likely to rejoin the Padres’ rotation on Monday or Tuesday against the Braves in Atlanta. Jhony Brito was optioned to Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Christian Walker (hip) was held out of the Astros’ starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Orioles.

Walker made an early exit from Saturday’s game after sustaining the injury while swinging the bat. He was able to participate in drills on the field prior to Sunday’s game though and isn’t expected to require a trip to the injured list, so he’s considered day-to-day. LaMonte Wade Jr. will start in his place at first base and bat cleanup for the Astros on Sunday.

Jeremy Peña (hamstring) is not in the Astros’ starting lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Orioles.

The good news is that Peña feels much improved after exiting Saturday’s game with a right hamstring cramp and isn’t expected to require a trip to the injured list. Nick Allen will start in his place at shortstop and will bat ninth for the Astros against Brandon Young and the Orioles on Sunday afternoon in Houston.

Astros recalled INF Raynel Delgado from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Delgado joins the Astros on Sunday to add some infield depth with both Christian Walker and Jeremy Pena banged up. He’s unlikely to see enough action to gain any sort of relevance from a fantasy perspective. Nate Pearson was designated for assignment in a corresponding move to clear a spot on the Astros’ active roster.

Astros designated RHP Nate Pearson for assignment.

The 29-year-old right-hander pitched decently in 16 appearances for the Astros this season, posting a 3.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 16/12 K/BB ratio over 20 innings. He flashed enough during that stretch that he could generate some interest on waivers from bullpen-needy clubs.
