Ottavino allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and picked up a save over the Rockies on Friday.

Ottavino was charged with his first blown save Wednesday but was quickly given the reigns in the ninth inning again. This time, he needed just 10 pitches to lock down the 1-0 win despite yielding a leadoff single to Randal Grichuk. Ottavino turned in his first scoreless appearance since April 25 and lowered his season ERA to 3.75 through 12 innings. He's converted four of his five save chances while adding in two holds.

The Dodgers selected the contract of Suero from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Suero will have a chance to make his debut with the Dodgers after joining the club on a minor-league deal in January. The right-hander is likely a low-leverage option in the middle innings while he remains with the big-league club.

Sousa was recalled Friday from Triple-A Nashville.

Sousa will join the Brewers' bullpen Friday night in San Francisco. He was acquired from the Reds last month in exchange for cash considerations and had racked up eight strikeouts across 4.2 innings of work with Nashville.

Cousins was optioned Friday to Triple-A Nashville.

Cousins logged three appearances during his 11-day stay in the Brewers' bullpen. Bennett Sousa is getting the call from Nashville ahead of Friday's series opener in San Francisco.

Bellatti (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment Friday with Low-A Clearwater.

Bellatti got the go-ahead to return to live competition after completing a 25-pitch round of live batting practice earlier this week. Out since April 22 due to right triceps tendinitis, he should be an option again for the Phillies' bullpen by mid-May.

Borucki cleared waivers and was outrighted Friday to Triple-A Iowa, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Borucki can either accept the assignment to Triple-A or elect to become a free agent. He was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Tuesday after a short stint in the majors during which he did not make an appearance.

The Cardinals selected Naile's contract from Triple-A Mempis on Friday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

With Jake Woodford (shoulder) landing on the 15-day injured list Friday, Naile will make his return to St. Louis. The 30-year-old reliever made seven appearances for the Cardinals last season, giving up five earned runs over nine innings. To make room for Naile on the 40-man roster, Wilking Rodriguez (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL.

Rodriguez (shoulder) was transferred Friday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

This is merely a procedural move after Rodriguez underwent surgery earlier this week on his right shoulder. He'll be sidelined for the next 4-to-6 months.

Nance (shoulder) will throw live batting practice Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

If that goes well, a rehab assignment shouldn't be far off. Nance is on the 60-day injured list and not eligible for activation until late May.

Chargois (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Jupiter on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Heraldreports.

Chargois will throw one inning in what will be his first game action since he suffered a right oblique strain April 10. It's not clear how many rehab outings he will need before being activated.
