    • Angels activate and option Chase Silseth
      Angels activated RHP Chase Silseth from the 60-day injured list; optioned him to Triple-A Salt Lake.

      Advice: Silseth has struggled in a handful of minor league rehab starts over the last few weeks and will get some additional time out of the spotlight in the minors to continue ironing things out. The 24-year-old showed some extremely promising signs during spring training, but struggled in a pair of early-season starts prior to landing on the shelf with elbow inflammation.

    • Brewers summon reliever Joel Kuhnel on Tuesday
      Brewers selected the contract of RHP Joel Kuhnel from Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: Kuhnel will probably only be with Milwaukee for a couple days until veteran southpaw Dallas Keuchel reports following a trade from Seattle. The 29-year-old righty latched on with the Brewers earlier this month following his removal from Toronto’s 40-man roster. He’s made just one relief appearance this season in the big leagues, which was back in mid-April when he was with the Astros. Rotoworld Today, 2:28 pm
       
    • Contract selected
      The Brewers selected Kuhnel's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Kuhnel signed a minor-league deal with Milwaukee on June 11, and he'll now get another shot in the majors after giving up two earned runs while striking out eight batters and walking three through five innings with Nashville. Although the 29-year-old right-hander has found success in the minors this season across the three organizations he's been a part of, his 6.30 career ERA in the majors will likely limit him to low-leverage situations while with the Brewers. Carlos F. Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A to clear space for Kuhnel on the active roster, and Robert Gasser (elbow) was moved to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot.

    • Phillies activate and option Yunior Marte to AAA
      Phillies activated RHP Yunior Marte from the 15-day injured list; optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

      Advice: Marte will remain stationed in the minors as extra relief depth for Philadelphia after wrapping up an extended rehab assignment. The 29-year-old righty hit the injured list back in early May with right shoulder inflammation. Rotoworld Today, 2:17 pm
       
    • Back in big leagues
      The Athletics recalled O'Loughlin from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

      Advice: The A's sent O'Loughlin to the minors June 9 after he had thrown seven shutout innings across three appearances out of the bullpen. He has since started two Triple-A games, allowing six earned runs in just 7.2 frames. He'll likely return to a multi-inning relief role while in Oakland, taking the place of Aaron Brooks on the MLB roster. Rotowire.com Today, 2:09 pm
       
    • A’s recall lefty Jack O’Loughlin on Tuesday
      Athletics recalled LHP Jack O’Loughlin from Triple-A Las Vegas.

      Advice: O’Loughlin provides Oakland’s bullpen with a fresh arm ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Angels. The 24-year-old lefty has hurled seven scoreless innings over three relief appearances this season in the big leagues. Rotoworld Today, 2:07 pm
       
    • Royals ink Jesus Tinoco to minor league contract
      Royals signed RHP Jesus Tinoco to a minor league contract.

      Advice: Tinoco winds up latching on with Kansas City as extra organizational relief depth after electing free agency last week following his removal from the Rangers’ 40-man roster. The 29-year-old righty holds an underwhelming 8.10 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 9/7 K/BB ratio across 10 innings (nine appearances) this season. He’ll head to Triple-A Omaha for now.

    • Strong showing in live BP
      Santos (lat) came away from his live batting practice session Saturday feeling very encouraged after deploying his sinker/slider combination, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Santos faced rookies Ryan Bliss and Tyler Locklear before Saturday's game in Miami and flummoxed both players consistently, not allowing either to put the ball in play over the quick 10-pitch session. Santos is slated to throw another bullpen session during the Mariners' current three-game series at Tropicana Field against the Rays, with another live batting practice a possibility in the days following. Assuming he continues free of setbacks through those sessions, Santos would then be set to begin a fairly lengthy rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 9:48 am
       
    • Selected by San Francisco
      The Giants selected Burgos' contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

      Advice: The move corresponds with the Giants designating Trenton Brooks for assignment. In nine games with Sacramento this season, Burgos has a 1.64 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 23:2 K:BB over 22 innings. The 25-year-old southpaw will work out of the Giants' bullpen, likely as a multi-inning reliever. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:02 pm
