  • Slated for rehab start Tuesday
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Mata (shoulder) felt good after his rehab start Thursday, and the right-hander will start again for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: In his first rehab outing for Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Mata allowed two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out two over 2.2 frames. He opened the season on the injured list with a right hamstring strain, but he has been dealing with lat and shoulder soreness since May. Mata is out of minor-league options, and the 25-year-old right-hander is expected to work as a reliever out of Boston's bullpen once his rehab program is complete. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

    Diamondbacks activated RHP Zac Gallen from the 15-day injured list.

  • Sent back to Reno
    The Diamondbacks optioned Hughes to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

    Advice: Hughes owns a 2.00 ERA through 27 frames at Triple-A, but he's allowed four earned runs in 3.1 innings since joining the Diamondbacks' bullpen Sunday.

  • Reinstated from IL
    The Diamondbacks reinstated Gallen (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Saturday versus Oakland.

In a corresponding move, Brandon Hughes was optioned to Triple-A Reno. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
