The Rockies recalled Pint from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Colorado cleared a spot on the 26-man active roster for Pint by placing right-hander Ryan Feltner (head/concussion) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Pint, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2016 First-Year Player Draft, received his first call-up to the big leagues after posting a 7.41 ERA, 2.06 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB across 17 innings out of the Albuquerque bullpen.

Jackson (elbow) is beginning a rehab assignment with Single-A San Jose on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Jackson is first eligible to come off the 60-day injured list May 29, and the right-hander may be ready to go by that point if he endures no setbacks during his rehab assignment. He's working his way back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last February and will presumably require several outings in the minors to build up his velocity and hone his command. Once activated, Jackson could emerge as a late-inning option out of the San Francisco bullpen.

San Diego optioned Tapia to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Tapia gets the boot from the 26-man active roster to make room for Ryan Weathers, who was called up from Triple-A in advance of his scheduled start Sunday versus Dodgers. Over 10 appearances at the big-league level in 2023, Tapia has logged a 3.18 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 11.1 innings.

Pallante (2-0) allowed a hit and struck out one over one scoreless inning in Saturday's 4-3 win against the Red Sox.

The Cardinals produced a comeback win for the second game in a row, and Pallante was the beneficiary after their three-run rally in the ninth inning. It's been mixed results for Pallante since he was recalled from Triple-A Memphis. He has given up a run in 4.1 innings while earning a win, a hold and a blown save over three appearances. The right-hander has a 5.68 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB through 12.2 innings overall as a middle reliever this season.

San Diego recalled Weathers from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

Weathers is getting a call-up in advance of his scheduled start in Sunday's series finale with the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The left-hander has pitched solidly in his limited chances with the big club in 2023, logging a 2.50 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB in 18 innings over five appearances (three starts). Domingo Tapia was sent down to El Paso in a corresponding transaction.

Manager Skip Schumaker said Puk is experiencing some dead arm and may not be available Sunday against the Reds, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander hasn't pitched since Wednesday in Arizona, when he picked up his sixth save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning. The Marlins have a team off day Monday, so it wouldn't be surprising if Schumaker tries to say away from Puk during Sunday's series finale in an attempt to get him two extra days of rest. Tanner Scott and Dylan Floro are the likely options to step in for a save chance if Puk is unavailable.

The Reds transferred Sanmartin (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Sanmartin is currently expected to miss the next six weeks while he recovers from a stress reaction in his left elbow. The southpaw reliever is now off the 40-man roster and could be back as a middle-innings option for the Reds right around the All-Star break.

Cincinnati selected the contract of Bracho from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Bracho is one of a handful of reinforcements for the Cincinnati bullpen. The reliever last pitched in the majors for Atlanta in 2022 with a 6.23 ERA over 4.1 innings.

Cincinnati purchased the contract of Busenitz from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Busenitz is one of three new relievers that are being added to the Cincinnati bullpen, and he'll have a chance to pitch in an MLB game for the first time since 2018. The right-hander will likely be a middle-innings option for the Reds while he's with the club.

Cincinnati recalled Herget from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

Herget was just sent down to Louisville on Saturday, but the right-hander is able to be recalled because the Reds placed Nick Lodolo (calf) and Casey Legumina (ankle) on the injured list. Herget should operate in the middle innings in this stint with the club.
