Mills was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Four Mariners relievers were placed on the COVID-19 injured list, so the team recalled several arms from Triple-A. Mills should pitch in low-leverage spots.

Vest was placed on the injured list due to a potential positive COVID-19 test by a member of the Mariners' pitching staff.

Robert Dugger, Anthony Misiewicz and Drew Steckenrider all landed on the injured list in the same list of roster moves, so the assumption is that one of them tested positive and the others are being held out due to contact tracing. Vest has given up eight earned runs in 8.1 innings this month.

Misiewicz was placed on the injured list Friday due to a potential positive COVID-19 test by a member of the Mariners' pitching staff.

Robert Dugger, Drew Steckenrider and Will Vest were all placed on the injured list in the same flurry of moves, as it sounds like one of those players tested positive and the others are being held out due to contact tracing. Keynan Middleton (biceps) was activated from the IL in a corresponding move.

Kolarek was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

He and Cam Bedrosian will switch places in the transaction. Kolarek gave up three runs in one inning in his most recent appearance against the Astros.

Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen were traded from the Brewers to the Rays on Friday in exchange for Willy Adames and Trevor Richards, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

The Rays have a well-earned reputation for getting the most out of previously unheralded pitchers, so it's possible they see something in Feyereisen, but the 28-year-old hasn't shown much in 28.2 career major-league innings despite posting a 94:31 K:BB through 61.1 IP at Triple-A in 2019. His 4.08 ERA in the bigs is decent enough, but comes with a 5.32 FIP and 5.02 xFIP, as he's combined a merely average 23.7 percent strikeout rate with a poor 14.0 percent walk rate.

Green earned a hold against Texas on Thursday with a perfect inning of work.

Green followed up Domingo German's dominant seven innings with his own spotless frame. He threw eight of 13 pitches for strikes and induced two groundouts along with a popout. Aside from a three-run blowup against Houston on May 6, Green has been dominant this season. The right-hander has posted a 2.01 ERA, 0.72 WHIP, six holds, one save and a 21:3 K:BB across 22.1 innings overall.

Honeywell was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Honeywell finally got to make his big-league debut this season after battling injuries for the last three years. In his first three MLB appearances, which lasted a total of 4.1 innings including two stints as an opener, he gave up four runs, struck out four and walked three. Louis Head was optioned in a corresponding move.

Law cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The 30-year-old was designated for assignment by the Twins earlier in the week, but he'll remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. Law has appeared in five games for Minnesota this season and has given up six runs on 11 hits with nine strikeouts and six walks over 6.1 innings.

Barnes walked one and struck out three over one inning to earn the save in Thursday's 8-7 come-from-behind win over Toronto.

The Red Sox were down two entering the top of the ninth, but they plated three and gave Barnes a chance to lock down his 10th save in 11 opportunities. He featured his best fastball of the season as measured by velocity, topping out at 98.7 mph and averaging 98.1. His average for the season is 95.8 mph.

Pivetta did not factor into the decision in Thursday's 8-7 win over the Blue Jays. He allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out eight over five innings.

Pivetta, who entered the game 5-0 with a 3.16 ERA, wasn't at his best but pitched better than the line indicated. The Red Sox committed three errors, and the Blue Jays didn't hit many hard balls off him. It was the second straight no-decision for the right-hander, who is next scheduled to pitch Wednesday against Atlanta at Fenway Park.
