Hudson (knee) was transferred Tuesday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Hudson has struggled to make progress with his rehab in recent weeks and now won't be an option for the Dodgers' bullpen until at least late May. He underwent surgery last June to repair a torn ACL in his left knee.

Santana was sent outright to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

The Mets recalled Brigham from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

With Carlos Carrasco (elbow) being placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Brigham will fill Carrasco's spot on the active roster. Brigham found a decent amount of success in the majors last season with Miami, posting a 3.38 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 24 innings. He strikes batters out at a strong rate, but he likely won't appear in many high-leverage situations out of the bullpen while he's up with the big club.

Nelson (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Single-A Clearwater.

Nelson got the go-ahead after throwing live batting practice without issue over the weekend. He suffered a left hamstring strain in mid-March but is now on track to join the Phillies in a swingman role before the end of April.

Pomeranz (neck/elbow) is set to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with Single-A Lake Elsinore.

Pomeranz was supposed to begin appearing in minor-league games last week before a neck strain caused a short delay. He hasn't thrown a pitch at the MLB level since August 2021 due to flexor tendon surgery, but that could change by the end of this month.

Frias was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A Reno.

Joe Mantiply (shoulder) has been activated from the IL in a corresponding roster move. Frias gave up four earned runs over 1.2 innings (two appearances) during his short stint in the Arizona bullpen.

Mantiply (shoulder) was activated Tuesday from the 15-day injured list.

Mantiply will join the Diamondbacks' bullpen Tuesday night in St. Louis after completing his recovery from left shoulder fatigue. The 32-year-old figures to quickly take on a high-leverage role coming off his impressive showing with Arizona in 2022.

Lambert was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Albuquerque.

Lambert had posted a 3.68 ERA and 5:4 K:BB through 7.1 innings (three starts) this season at the Triple-A level. He'll presumably operate in a long relief with the Rockies as he makes his way back to the MLB level for the first time since 2021.

Romero was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Memphis.

Romero is joining the Cardinals' bullpen in place of Andre Pallante, who has been optioned to Memphis in a corresponding move. Romero 26, worked to a 3.77 ERA and 16:9 K:BB in 14.1 innings of relief with St. Louis last year.

Pallante was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A Memphis.
