Weiss has been out all season with a teres major strain in his right shoulder. He's healthy now, after having allowed six runs with an 8:3 K:BB over eight innings during his rehab assignment, which included stops at three affiliates. The Twins didn't have room on Weiss from the 40-man roster, but he'll remain in the organization as bullpen depth at St. Paul.

McCullers said Friday that he has no structural damage in his right elbow/forearm, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports. Although he isn't dealing with any structural damage, McCullers still has not resumed throwing after being shut down July 9. However, manager Joe Espada said the right-hander may be able to restart a throwing program within the next several days depending on how he feels. McCullers hasn't pitched in an MLB game since 2022 and still figures to be at least several weeks away from a return to the Astros.

The Padres selected Ornelas' contract and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday. Ornelas has spent the entire 2024 season at El Paso, slashing .316/.390/.515 with 12 home runs and five stolen bases across 310 plate appearances. Though he'll remain with El Paso coming out of the All-Star break, the 24-year-old outfielder is now a part of the Padres' 40-man roster. The transaction should improve his chances of receiving his first big-league call-up at some point later this season.

The Chargers placed Young (neck) on the active/PUP list Thursday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. Young has said he intends to be ready for the start of training camp, but for now it appears that he's still working through the recovery process following his offseason neck surgery. He can come off the PUP list at any point during training camp or the preseason, once cleared to practice, and there are still just over three weeks until New Orleans' preseason opener at Arizona. The 2020 first-round pick could emerge as a key part of the Saints' pass-rush corps for the 2024 season, health permitting.

The Grizzlies traded Williams (back/hip) and a 2030 second-round pick to the Mavericks in exchange for Mamadi Diakite on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Williams made 51 appearances, including 15 starts, for the Grizzlies in 2023-24 before missing the remainder of the season with a right lower back injury and a hip flexor strain. Before going down to injury, the 22-year-old forward averaged 8.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 20.4 minutes. However, efficiency was an issue, as he shot just 39.7 percent from the field and 30.7 percent from three. If Williams is able to enter the 2024-25 campaign healthy, he will likely compete for depth minutes in Dallas' forward rotation.
