Patino threw 5.1 scoreless innings for High-A Lake Elsinore on Tuesday, giving up four hits, striking out seven and walking two.

It was the first scoreless start of the season for Patino, who has his California League ERA down to 3.05 through 41.1 innings. The 19-year-old right-hander is one of the highest-rated pitching prospects in San Diego's stacked farm system, and so far it looks like he's translating the skills he displayed in his standout campaign for Low-A Fort Wayne last season, when he had a 2.16 ERA and 98 strikeouts over 83.1 innings.

Peralta was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Peralta has struggled to a 4.87 ERA through 20.1 innings this season, so he'll head to the minor leagues in an attempt to find his groove. Lucas Sims was recalled in a corresponding move and will start Tuesday evening against Pittsburgh.

Pomeranz will start Friday's game against the Orioles, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Pomeranz was expected to make his next start Thursday, but with an off day looming Monday, the Giants can afford to push him back a day. Tyler Beede and Dereck Rodriguez would appear to be the top candidates to start Thursday's matchup against Miami.

Gott (forearm) will likely return from the injured list following the 10-day minimum, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Gott landed on the shelf Saturday due to a right forearm strain, but the issue doesn't appear to be as severe as initially thought. He's set to toss a side session within the next few days, and assuming all goes according to plan, the Giants will activate him from the injured list June 4 when he's first eligible.

The Phillies optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

The move opens up a spot on the active roster for Nick Pivetta, who will be officially recalled from the minors ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the Cardinals. The Phillies still view De Los Santos as a starter over the long haul, so he'll get the opportunity to slot into the Lehigh Valley rotation after seeing limited action of late out of the big-league bullpen. Since being summoned back to the majors May 17, De Los Santos made a pair of two-inning relief appearances, conceding three runs on two hits (both home runs) and a pair of walks.

Jansen picked up the save in the Dodgers' 9-5 victory over the Mets on Monday, giving up one hit over 1.2 scoreless innings. He struck out three and walked none.

Jansen picked up his first five-out save since July 4 of last year, striking out three of the five batters he faced to record his 15th successfully converted opportunity of the season. He hasn't given up a run since a four-run blowup against the Padres on May 5, lowering his ERA to 3.52 and his WHIP to 0.96 to go along with a 32:5 K:BB over 23 innings.

Sims will be called up from Triple-A Louisville to start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Sims is in line to make his first big-league start of the 2019 season following Monday's doubleheader. The right-hander has posted a 4.06 ERA with 63 punchouts over 44.1 innings this season with the Bats.

Hader picked up the save after allowing two hits and a walk while striking out two over two scoreless innings Monday against Minnesota.

Hader cruised through his first inning of work on nine pitches, though the Twins managed to move the tying run into scoring position in the ninth before the lefty retired Miguel Sano via the strikeout. Hader hadn't pitched since May 22 against the Reds entering the contest, but he finally managed to slam the door for the 13th time this season in the series opener. He's sporting a 2.33 ERA and 0.70 WHIP with a 51:8 K:BB over 27 frames in 2019.

Ferguson has been optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Ferguson will head back to Oklahoma City in a corresponding move as the Dodgers activated Joe Kelly from the MLB bereavement list Monday. The 22-year-old left-hander has given up 11 earned runs with 16 strikeouts over 16.2 innings at the big-league level this season.

Kelly has been activated from the MLB bereavement list, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

It was an expected move for the right-handed reliever, who will rejoin the Dodgers after being placed on the bereavement list Friday. Caleb Ferguson was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.
