The Diamondbacks recalled Jarvis from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

The right-hander has spent the past few weeks with Reno but will rejoin the big club after Ryan Thompson (shoulder) was placed on the injured list. Jarvis has a 6.10 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB over 10.1 innings with Arizona this season.

The Diamondbacks recalled Henry (elbow) from Triple-A Reno and placed him to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

According to Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo relayed Sunday that Henry recently underwent Tommy John surgery, which included both internal bracing and ligament repair. After injuring his elbow in mid-June, Henry went on Reno's IL, but the Diamondbacks needed to add him back to the big-league roster in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Henry will miss the rest of the season and will also be sidelined for at least the first half of the 2026 campaign.

The Dodgers optioned Little to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

The Dodgers sent Little back to the minors to clear room on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Emmet Sheehan, who was recalled from Oklahoma City to start Sunday against the Astros. Little has served as a middle-relief option over his two stints in the big leagues this season, making two appearances while giving up two earned runs over three innings.

Henriquez (5-1) picked up the win Saturday over the Brewers, striking out two in a perfect eighth inning.

The right-hander breezed through the middle of Milwaukee's order on eight pitches (seven strikes) before Miami broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the frame. Henriquez has emerged as the Marlins' top high-leverage option, and over his last 11 appearances he's collected two wins, two holds and four saves with a 0.84 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB in 10.2 innings.

The Nationals optioned Loutos to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

The right-hander has an 11.32 ERA across 10.1 innings between the Dodgers and Nationals this season, which includes the two runs he allowed over three innings while pitching in the past two games for Washington. Loutos was demoted to free up roster space for Shinnosuke Ogasawara, who is starting Sunday against the Red Sox.

Atlanta optioned Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

After Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) landed on the injured list earlier this week, Atlanta went with a bullpen day in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Orioles when his turn in the rotation came up. Aaron Bummer recorded Atlanta's first seven outs before Dodd entered and allowed two earned runs on two hits over 2.2 innings. Since Dodd tossed 39 pitches Saturday and was unlikely to be available out of the bullpen for another day or two, Atlanta opted to swap him off the 26-man roster for a fresh bullpen arm in Jesse Chavez, who was called up from Triple-A.

Atlanta selected Chavez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Chavez will regain a spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster for the third time this season, as he had previously elected free agency and re-signed with the organization on minor-league deals after being designated for assignment on two occasions in April. Since signing his latest contract May 1, the 41-year-old righty has pitched well for Gwinnett, logging a 2.22 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB in 24.1 innings. He'll likely fill a low-leverage role for Atlanta.

Bachar didn't allow a baserunner or strike out a batter in the ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against the Brewers.

Calvin Faucher and Ronny Henriquez pitched the seventh and eighth innings of a 2-2 game, and Bachar was called upon for the save chance after Miami scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth. The right-hander has been a reliable bullpen option for Miami this year with a 3.29 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB over 41 innings, and he hasn't been scored upon in his past 11.1 frames. Bachar isn't likely to see regular save chances but could get the occasional opportunity when Miami's top arms have already been used or are unavailable.

Nelson (5-2) earned the win Saturday against the Royals, allowing one run on four hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out five.

Since surrendering seven runs over three innings June 3 in Cincinnati, Nelson has been lights out, giving up just five earned runs with a 0.78 WHIP and 36:6 K:BB across his past five starts. The right-hander opened the campaign as a reliever, but he's taken advantage of the absence of Corbin Burnes (elbow) and has pretty well cemented his spot at the back end of Arizona's rotation. Nelson has a 3.39 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB over 74.1 innings, and he lines up to face the Angels on the road next weekend.

Keller (3-1) allowed five runs on five hits in an inning of relief to take the loss Saturday against the Cardinals. He struck out one.

Keller struggled with the long ball, allowing a solo home run to Alec Burleson and a three-run shot to Yohel Pozo during the eighth inning. The rough outing -- the first time Keller has allowed any runs over his last seven appearances -- pushed Keller's ERA from 1.82 to 2.88. Even with the bad game, the veteran righty has been a key relief piece for the Cubs this season, posting a 1.16 WHIP and 38 strikeouts across 40.2 innings out of the bullpen.
