Pittsburgh recalled Bolton from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Bolton has surrendered 11 earned runs on 17 hits and 10 walks in just nine innings this season at the MLB level. The 26-year-old right-hander will operate in a low-leverage relief role.

Pilkington was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Friday.

This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for outfielder Dominic Canzone, who is joining the Diamondbacks ahead of Friday's game versus the Pirates. Pilkington has made only appearance at the MLB level in 2023, and that was with the Guardians in April.

Arizona recalled Martinez from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Martinez spent some time in the Diamondbacks' bullpen in late June but was not called on to make his MLB debut. He'll get another chance in Arizona's final series before the All-Star break. The 21-year-old right-hander has posted a 3.77 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 31 innings this season at the Triple-A level.

Arizona placed Jameson on the 15-day injured list Friday with elbow inflammation.

Jameson had been pitching well in long relief for the Diamondbacks before a rough outing Thursday versus the Mets in which he allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk over three innings. The 25-year-old will be out until at least July 22 and is set to undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the elbow issue.

Castillo was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Castillo made his season debut with the Padres this past Tuesday against the Angels and was charged with four earned runs while recording only one out. He missed the first three months of the year with a shoulder injury and doesn't seem to be fully back into form.

The Padres selected Jacob's contract from Double-A San Antonio on Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Jacob fell to the 16th round of the 2021 MLB Draft following a four-year NCAA career at Gonzaga, but he's done nothing but dominate minor-league hitters to the tune of a 1.82 ERA and 138:25 K:BB in 104 professional innings. The 25-year-old right-hander could prove to be a weapon in relief for the Padres as he completes his swift ascent to the big leagues.

The Nationals optioned La Sorsa to Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

La Sorsa was lit up for four runs on six hits and two walks over two innings during his last appearance Wednesday against the Reds. As a result, he'll head back to the minors. Joan Adon was promoted to Washington in a corresponding move.

The Nationals recalled Adon from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Adon hasn't been spectacular in Triple-A with a 4.81 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 76.2 innings, but he'll be called upon to bolster Washington's pitching staff. Adon has been used almost exclusively as a starter throughout his career, but the Nationals could deploy him in a multi-inning relief role. Joe La Sorsa was optioned to Rochester in a corresponding move.

Burdi (abdomen) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

It will be a "touch and feel" bullpen session, so he won't be going all out. Burdi has been sidelined since late May following an emergency appendectomy and is eligible for activation toward the end of July.

The Marlins selected Garcia's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Garcia has had a solid season in Jacksonville so far, putting up a 2.95 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 54 strikeouts through 36.2 innings. The 27-year-old southpaw will be making his MLB debut when he gets into a game, and he could be in the mix for some high-leverage outings down the line if his impressive strikeout rate translates to the majors. Jeff Lindgren was designated for assignment to make room for Garcia on the 40-man roster.
