Treinen was placed on the 60-day injured list by the Dodgers on Thursday as he recovers from right labrum and rotator cuff surgery.

The move frees up a 40-man roster spot. Treinen is hoping to make it back late in the 2023 season after going under the knife in November, but there's a good chance he'll be out until 2024.

Feyereisen was placed on the 60-day injured list by the Dodgers on Thursday as he recovers from right rotator cuff and labrum surgery.

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster. Feyereisen was designated for assignment by the Rays in December after it was discovered that he needed surgery, and he was subsequently traded to the Dodgers. He'll be sidelined at least until the second half of the 2023 campaign.

Waites was cleared of any tendon damage in his right lat on Wednesday, Evan Webeck of the San Jose Mercury News reports.

Waites strained his right lat just before he arrived at Giants camp, but an MRI taken this week showed significant healing. He is expected to pick up a baseball again within a couple of weeks, though the 24-year-old can probably already be ruled out for a spot in the Giants' active Opening Day bullpen.

Hudson (knee/ankle) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Hudson missed the majority of the 2022 season due to a left ACL tear and then came into spring training with a bit of right ankle tendinitis, but the veteran reliever is optimistic he'll be ready for Opening Day. He could play a large role in the late innings for Los Angeles, including some save chances, if his health cooperates.

Dominguez signed a two-year, $7 million contract extension with the Phillies on Thursday that includes an $8 million club option for 2025.

Dominguez had two years of arbitration eligibility left, but this new deal will buy those out along with potentially one free agent year. Per Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the right-hander is guaranteed at least $7.5 million when factoring in a $500,000 buyout. The 28-year-old was excellent in 2022, posting a 3.00 ERA and 61:22 K:BB across 51 frames while collecting nine saves. Dominguez should be in the mix for saves again in 2023 along with Craig Kimbrel, Gregory Soto and Jose Alvarado.

Hudson is recovering well from his knee injury but is now battling ankle discomfort, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Hudson missed a significant portion of the 2022 season due to an ACL tear in June. It remains uncertain whether or not the 35-year-old reliever will be ready to go once spring training games begin.

Waites suffered a right lat injury during the first week of February and is scheduled to visit the Giants' team doctor in the coming days, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Waites made just seven appearances for the Giants in 2022, but he pitched reasonably well during his limited sample of 5.2 innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits and four walks. The right-hander is expected to be a middle-innings option for San Francisco in 2023, but the lat injury could derail his chances of clinching a spot on the Opening Day roster.

Treinen (shoulder) told Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic on Wednesday that he wants to pitch this season.

Treinen made only six total appearances between the regular season and postseason last year and then required surgery in November to repair the labrum and rotator cuff in his right shoulder. He's said to be progressing well, but the veteran reliever still has several more months of rest and rehab ahead. If he does become an option for the Dodgers in 2023, it probably won't be until late August or September.

Long (oblique) reported to spring training this week and won't face any restrictions, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Long missed the last month-plus of the 2022 season with a right oblique strain. The left-hander was effective as a reliever for the Giants in 2022 with a 3.61 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 42.1 innings of work, but he also has experience as a starter. The 27-year-old could compete for one of the final spots in the San Francisco rotation during the Cactus League, but his most likely landing spot to begin the 2023 campaign is the bullpen.

Nelson (elbow) agreed Wednesday with the Dodgers on a one-year, $1.2 million deal, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Nelson's deal includes incentives that could push his contract up to $4 million in total value. After Nelson missed the entire 2022 season while on the mend from August 2021 Tommy John surgery, the Dodgers declined their $1.1 million team option for the right-hander, who will end up getting a slight pay raise for 2023 after all is said and done. He'll have a chance to help the Dodgers' pitching staff at some point in 2023, but it's unclear if Nelson enters spring training with a clean bill of health or still has a few hurdles to clear in the rehab process.
