Sent back to Sugar Land The Astros optioned Ort to Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Impact Ort registered two appearances with the Astros after being recalled from Triple-A on Saturday, throwing three shutout innings while striking out six batters. Despite his solid showing, he'll be sent back to the minors in order to clear room for Jake Bloss (shoulder), who was reinstated from the IL on Thursday. Ort has been dominant in the minors (0.75 ERA in 12 innings) since joining the Astros organization in late May, so it's possible he returns to Houston in the near future.

Claimed by Mariners The Mariners claimed Ort (elbow) off waivers from Boston on Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
Impact Ort struggled to the tune of a 6.26 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through 23 innings in the majors in 2023, and his season was cut short by an elbow injury in early July. The 31-year-old righty likely won't have a significant role in the Mariners' bullpen.

Starts up rehab assignment Ort (elbow) began a rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Worcester, striking out one batter over a perfect inning of relief.
Impact Ort has resided on the injured list since July 7 with right elbow inflammation, but he looks like he'll have a chance to rejoin the Boston bullpen before the regular season comes to a close. Prior to being shut down with the injury, Ort posted a 6.26 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 23 innings. If reinstated, Ort will likely be relegated to low-leverage work out of the bullpen.

Likely to serve as opener Wednesday Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters after Tuesday's loss to the Marlins that Ort will likely be the opener for Wednesday's game versus Miami, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald...
Impact Ort worked as the opener June 19 for the Red Sox, and he went 2.1 innings against the Yankees while allowing two runs in the first game of a doubleheader. The right-hander will likely get a chance to go through the Miami lineup one time before giving way to the rest of the Boston bullpen, and he won't pitch deep enough to qualify for a win.

Impact The 31-year-old was sent to Worcester in early June but will rejoin the big club Sunday with Tanner Houck (face) landing on the injured list. Ort hasn't covered more than two frames in any outings this year, so he'll likely exit after working an inning or two in Sunday's matinee. Nick Pivetta could follow as Boston's primary pitcher.
