Hudson (knee) was activated off the 60-day injured list Friday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hudson will make his season debut after missing the first three months of the season while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last June. The right-hander will likely be a high-leverage reliever for the Dodgers and could even see some save chances, but he may be eased into that role over his first few appearances.

Colorado placed Carasiti on the 15-day injured list Friday with right shoulder inflammation.

Carasiti has struggled to a 7.06 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 14:11 K:BB in 21.2 innings this season out of the Rockies' bullpen. He'll be sidelined through the All-Star break at the very least.

Colorado selected Blach's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Blach made the Rockies' Opening Day bullpen this spring but was cut loose before the end of April after allowing 13 runs -- 10 earned -- over 11 innings. He'll get another shot in a low-leverage role.

Hudson (knee) is expected to be activated from the 60-day injured list ahead of Friday's contest against the Royals, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hudson has struggled with multiple setbacks as he recovered from a torn ACL suffered last June, forcing him to remain on the sidelines for the whole 2023 campaign to this point, but he now appears ready to rejoin LA's bullpen. The right-hander produced a 2.22 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with 30 strikeouts, nine holds and five saves over 24.1 innings in 25 appearances with the Dodgers in 2022 and will likely return to a high-leverage role once he's up to speed.

Edwards (shoulder) resumed throwing earlier this week, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Edwards underwent an MRI last Wednesday, shortly after landing on the injured list, and it confirmed the initial diagnosis of right shoulder inflammation. If all goes well with his side work, he might be an option again for the Nationals' bullpen coming out of the All-Star break.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Friday that Dominguez (oblique) is unlikely to return before the All-Star break, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Dominguez resumed throwing earlier this week, but he's still limited to flat-ground work as the Phillies ease along his recovery from the left oblique strain that sent him to the injured list June 17. He'll probably try to advance to mound workouts sometime next week and could be ready for activation in mid-July.

The Cardinals recalled Naile from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

With Jake Woodford (shoulder) headed for the injured list, Naile will come up from the minors to give the Cardinals additional bullpen depth. The 30-year-old righty has appeared in three MLB games this season, surrendering five runs (two earned) on eight hits and three walks while striking out three batters across 4.1 innings.

Chavez (shin) threw long toss in the outfield Friday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Chavez was shut down for a period after landing on the injured list June 15 due to a left shin contusion, but he's begun to ramp things up and could make it back to Atlanta's bullpen before the All-Star break. The veteran reliever had pitched to a terrific 1.55 ERA and 36:9 K:BB in 29 innings prior to the IL stint.

Rolison has been on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Albuquerque since June 4 due to an unspecified issue.

While recovering from shoulder surgery he underwent last summer, Rolison opened the season on the Rockies' 60-day IL and didn't begin a rehab assignment in the minors until mid-May. He was ultimately optioned to Albuquerque after being reinstated from the IL, but he made just four total appearances for the Triple-A affiliate before landing back on the shelf. It's unclear if Rolison suffered a setback with his surgically repaired shoulder or if he's dealing with an unrelated issue.

The Nationals recalled Ferrer from Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

The 23-year-old southpaw holds a 3.83 ERA and 1.55 WHIP alongside a 33:20 K:BB across 40 innings in Triple-A this season, and he'll be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game. He figures to begin his career in middle relief, but there could be openings in the high-leverage crew soon depending on what the Nationals do at the trade deadline. Patrick Corbin was placed on the bereavement list in a corresponding move.
