Uceta was recalled by the Dodgers on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

The Dodgers placed Brusdar Graterol (forearm) on the 10-day injured list, with Uceta's promotion being the corresponding move. He'll provide needed depth in the team's bullpen, which is already missing Joe Kelly (shoulder), Corey Knebel (lat) and David Price (hamstring), among others.

Graterol was placed on the 10-day injured list with right forearm tightness Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Graterol has been used sparingly after a delayed start to the season, as he's thrown only 1.1 innings across three appearances. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, though he last pitched April 26. The nature of the injury is cause for some concern, but no timeline for his absence has been disclosed.

Weigel was optioned to the alternate site Thursday.

Weigel was recalled for Wednesday's game, in which he threw two scoreless innings. With the Brewers' pitching depth having been tested of late, the team needed fresh arms in the bullpen. Jordan Zimmermann had his contract selected in a corresponding move.

White was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Thursday.

White was dealing with COVID-19 vaccine side effects across the last few days, but he'll be available out of the bullpen for Thursday's game against the Brewers. Outfielder Luke Raley was sent down by Los Angeles in a corresponding move.

Devenski (personal) was activated from the restricted list Thursday.

Devenski had been unavailable since April 7 due to personal reasons, but he'll be available to return against the Rockies on Thursday. The right-hander had converted on one of his two save chances to begin the season, giving up two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one in two innings. Stefan Crichton should be the top option for save chances, but Devenski could also be part of the picture now that he's back with the team.

Cleavinger exited Wednesday's win over the Reds in the ninth inning after being hit on the triceps by a line drive off the bat of Tyler Stephenson, and the team expects to know more about his status Thursday, per J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News.

The incident took place with two outs in the ninth inning. Cleavinger was able to field the ball and throw to first base for what was initially called an out, but the call was overturned upon replay review. The left-hander was subsequently removed from the game in favor of Dennis Santana, who closed out the win. It's not yet clear whether Cleavinger is expected to miss any time, and manager Dave Roberts sounded hopeful after the contest that the reliever avoided a serious injury. "We're still kind of seeing how he feels," Roberts said. "It was on the tricep. That's a good thing, relative to potentially being the elbow. We'll know more tomorrow."

Castano was optioned to the Marlins' alternate training site Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Castano was hit hard in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers and has posted a 4.72 ERA and 5:5 K:BB in 13.1 innings to begin the season. He'll now attempt to sort things out at the team's alternate training site. The Marlins haven't indicated who could take Castano's place in the rotation, but Nick Neidert could be an option to start in the near future.

Doval pitched one inning and allowed an inherited runner to score with one walk to earn a hold in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Rockies.

Doval entered the contest after starter Alex Wood got into trouble by allowing the first four batters in the seventh inning to reach base. The 23-year-old Doval allowed one inherited runner to score on a double play before escaping the jam. The right-hander is up to three holds and a blown save in five appearances. He also has a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB across his first five major-league innings.

Treinen struck out three and yielded one hit in an inning of work, earning a hold in Wednesday's 8-0 victory over Cincinnati.

The righty has allowed just one earned run since a rough first outing of the season in which he yielded two. Treinen's ERA has been gradually declining, and it now sits at 2.70 through 10 innings pitched. His sinker, cutter and slider all boast elite movement and will keep him among baseball's best relievers as long as he commands them down in the zone. Further, playing for a winning team in the Dodgers will present plenty of hold opportunities, especially in the absence of Corey Knebel (lat).

Manager Jayce Tingler said after the Padres' 12-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday that Weathers is dealing with joint inflammation in his left arm, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Weathers tossed a scoreless first inning before exiting his start with what the Padres initially termed as left arm soreness, with Tingler clarifying afterward that the rookie isn't dealing with any ligament damage and is instead experiencing a case of "dead arm." Tingler noted that after starting the game with his velocity sitting in the 92-to-93 mile-per-hour range, Weathers dropped to around 87 or 88 before his night ended early. The Padres are hopeful that after receiving some treatment, Weathers will be able to make his next start, which would likely come next Tuesday against the Pirates.
