The Reds optioned Friedl to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Friedl has made just 11 plate appearances since the beginning of September, going 3-for-9 with two walks and an RBI. He'll now move off the active roster to make room for Oswaldo Cabrera, who was claimed off waivers from the Yankees on Friday.

The Reds optioned Aguiar to Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Aguiar gave up two earned runs in three innings in his season debut after being called up from Triple-A on Friday. He'll now head back to Louisville in favor of Zach McCambley in an effort to keep Cincinnati's bullpen stocked with fresh arms.

Cabrera joined the Reds' active roster Saturday.

Cabrera seemed destined to join the Reds' Triple-A affiliate when he was claimed off waivers from the Yankees on Friday, but Cincinnati will instead add him to its active roster to provide depth in both the infield and outfield. TJ Friedl was sent down to Louisville in a corresponding move.

The Reds recalled McCambley from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

The 27-year-old will come up from Triple-A to give the Reds' bullpen an extra fresh arm to work with, replacing Julian Aguiar. McCambley has allowed four earned runs in 8.2 innings with the Reds this season and will likely be limited to middle-relief duty.

Diaz will sit out Saturday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Diaz was included in the Rays' initial lineup for Saturday's contest before later being removed, though manager Kevin Cash clarified that Diaz is getting a scheduled day off and was never meant to be part of the starting nine. The Rays will use Jake Fraley as their designated hitter while Diaz sits.

Turang isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore.

The Brewers will load their lineup with mostly right-handed bats Saturday against lefty starter Trevor Rogers, so the lefty-swinging Turang will move to the bench to begin the game.

The Orioles transferred O'Neill (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

O'Neill was placed on the injured list Aug. 26 due to his strained right rotator cuff, so moving to the 60-day IL will officially rule him out for the rest of the year. The 31-year-old will close out his second season in Baltimore with a .212/.300/.377 slash line to go with 10 homers, 23 RBI and 31 runs scored across 260 plate appearances. His 40-man roster spot will go to Felix Bautista (shoulder), who came off the 60-day IL on Saturday.

The Mets recalled Mauricio from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

With Jared Young landing on the 7-day concussion IL on Friday, Mauricio joins the active roster to replenish the Mets' infield depth. The 25-year-old owns a .795 OPS across 305 plate appearances at Triple-A this season but has gone just 9-for-50 in the majors.

The Mets reinstated Perez (forearm) from the injured list Saturday.

A left forearm strain has kept Perez out of action since July 31, but he's now been cleared to return to the Mets' bullpen after firing four shutout innings in four rehab outings in the minors. He'll replace Cameron Weston on the active roster and will likely work in middle relief after turning in a 4.97 ERA across 41.2 frames while healthy.

The Mets optioned Weston to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

The Mets brought Weston up from Triple-A on Thursday, but he'll now head back down to the minors without appearing in a game. Cionel Perez (forearm) was activated from the injured list to fill the open spot in New York's bullpen.
