Perdomo was suspended three games by Major League Baseball for throwing at Manny Machado on Tuesday night, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Perdomo fired an up-and-in pitch to Machado in the bottom of the seventh inning, shortly after serving up a home run to Juan Soto. It was deemed an intentional plunking and Perdomo will not appeal the three-game punishment. Pirates manager Derek Shelton also received a one-game suspension and will serve it during Wednesday's series finale at San Diego. Perdomo is eligible to return Sunday.

Rodriguez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Atlanta jettisoned Rodriguez from their 40-man roster Monday, but he will stay in the organization. The right-hander has started and relieved during his time with Gwinnett in 2023.

Luetge cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

He's no longer on Atlanta's 40-man roster but it appears Luetge will remain in the organization. The southpaw holds an 8.49 ERA over 11 relief appearances in the big leagues this season.

Miller was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

The Dodgers acquired Miller from the Brewers earlier this month, but he'll be up with the big club for the first time since the trade. He tossed three scoreless innings during his time with Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers optioned Bruihl to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Bruihl gets the boot after getting roughed up for three runs over an inning of relief in Tuesday's comeback win over the Blue Jays. Tyson Miller was called up from Oklahoma City to take Bruihl's spot in the bullpen.

Walker will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher in Wednesday's game versus the Athletics, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

It's Alex Wood's turn in the rotation, but the lefty looks set to serve as a bulk reliever. Walker will be working as an opener for the sixth time this season after allowing four earned runs in 6.2 innings across the previous five outings.

Ferrer (1-0) picked up the win Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing one run on three hits over 1.2 innings of relief. He struck out two without walking a batter.

The southpaw wasn't exactly dominant, but he was the pitcher of record when the Nationals mounted a four-run comeback in the bottom of the eighth inning. Ferrer has been tagged for runs in four of his last six appearances and now has a bloated 5.59 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in his first 9.2 big-league innings.

Willingham was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Willingham will head back to Rochester exactly one month after being called up. He produced a bloated 11.00 ERA and 2.11 WHIP with five strikeouts over nine innings in nine appearances with the Nationals. Washington selected Andres Machado's contract from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Machado had his contract selected from Triple-A Rochester by the Nationals on Wednesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Machado will last appeared in a major-league contest in early June, but he will now return to the big-league bullpen. The right-hander owns an inflated 8.47 ERA and 1.76 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over 17 innings in 14 appearances with Washington this season. In order to make room for Machado on the 40-man roster, Victor Robles (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list while Amos Willingham was optioned to Triple-A to open a big-league roster spot.

Finnegan gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his 14th save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Rockies.

The right-hander has gone 3-for-3 in converting save chances since Hunter Harvey (elbow) landed on the injured list. Finnegan's 3.16 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB through 42.2 innings on the season aren't elite, but he could still be of interest to a contender looking for setup help as the trade deadline approaches.
