Tayler Scott RP | ATL
Dodgers' Tayler Scott: Designated for assignment
The Dodgers designated Scott for assignment Saturday.
Scott allowed six earned runs over six innings after being promoted to the majors June 3, and he has now officially lost his spot on the Dodgers' roster. Scott has a nice Triple-A stat line (1.37 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) which helps his chances of getting claimed by another organization. Bryan Hudson was selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move and will take Scott's place in the Dodgers' bullpen.

Dodgers' Bryan Hudson: Selected from Triple-A
The Dodgers selected Hudson's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.
Hudson has been very impressive this season in Triple-A, recording a 2.17 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with a whopping 51 strikeouts through 29 innings. The 26-year-old lefty has made three starts this season in the minors and is capable of pitching multiple innings in relief. Tayler Scott was designated for assignment to make room for Hudson on the roster.

Huascar Brazoban RP | NYM
Marlins' Huascar Brazoban: Recalled from Jacksonville
The Marlins recalled Brazoban from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
With Edward Cabrera (shoulder) headed for the 15-day injured list, Brazoban will join the Marlins' pitching staff to provide depth to the bullpen. The 33-year-old righty began the season strong, but he holds an 8.71 ERA and 2.23 WHIP across his last nine appearances. He's capable of working in multiple innings.

Cam Robinson P | NYM
Brewers' Cam Robinson: Outrighted to Double-A
Robinson cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Double-A Biloxi, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Robinson was dumped from the 40-man roster Wednesday to make room for Raimel Tapia, and he will officially remain in the Brewers' minor-league system. The 23-year-old righty began the season in Triple-A Nashville, but he struggled his way down to Double-A, where he still holds a poor 9.75 ERA through 12 innings this season.

Tyler Matzek RP | NYY
Braves' Tyler Matzek: Recovering nicely
Matzek (elbow) played catch Saturday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Matzek underwent Tommy John surgery in October and has reportedly been throwing since the end of May. The 32-year-old reliever still has a long way to go in his rehab process and almost certainly won't be ready to return until next season, but it's a good sign to see Matzek get back to throwing with a bit of velocity.

Gavin Hollowell RP | CHC
Rockies' Gavin Hollowell: Recalled from Triple-A
The Rockies recalled Hollowell from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Hollowell has been solid out of the bullpen in Triple-A this season with a 1.54 ERA and 1.25 WHIP while striking out 14 batters through 11.2 innings. He has a bit of major-league experience from last season with Colorado -- he allowed six earned runs over seven frames and struck out eight. Hollowell will replace Dinelson Lamet on the Rockies' pitching staff after Lamet was DFA'd by the team Saturday.

Dinelson Lamet RP | LAD
Rockies' Dinelson Lamet: DFA'd by Colorado
The Rockies designated Lamet for assignment Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
After surrendering eight runs over the course of four innings Friday against Atlanta, Lamet's ERA soared to 11.57 on the season, and he has now lost his spot on the team. His impressive Triple-A stat line (0.84 ERA, 0.69 WHIP) will help his chances of getting claimed by another team. There's no word on who might replace Lamet in the Rockies' rotation, but reliever Gavin Hollowell was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque in a corresponding move.

Yunior Marte RP | CIN
Phillies' Yunior Marte: Recalled from Triple-A
The Phillies recalled Marte from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
With Seranthony Dominguez (oblique) landing on the injured list Saturday, Marte will be called upon to provide the Phillies with additional bullpen depth. The 28-year-old righty holds a 7.71 ERA in the majors this season through 14 innings, but he's allowed just two earned runs in nine appearances since May 20.

Seranthony Dominguez RP | CHW
Phillies' Seranthony Dominguez: Placed on injured list
The Phillies placed Dominguez on the 15-day injured list Saturday (retroactive to Friday) with a left oblique strain.
Dominguez holds a 6.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP across six innings since the beginning of June and will now be held out until at least the start of July due to his injury. Yunior Marte was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move and will take Dominguez's place in Philadelphia's bullpen.

Luis Ortiz RP | NYM
Phillies' Luis Ortiz: Back in minors
Ortiz was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Just four days after being promoted from Triple-A, Ortiz will head back to Lehigh Valley to make room for Cristopher Sanchez. Ortiz made one appearance during his brief stint with Philadelphia, surrendering two earned runs over three innings and picking up his first big-league save.
