Law was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Although he's returning to the majors, it's unlikely that Law will see many high-leverage situations. Prior to being sent to Triple-A Sacramento, Law had given up seven runs on 10 hits and four walks over 6.1 innings. He didn't show much improvement with Sacramento, as he allowed nine runs over eight innings of work.

Stewart was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Stewart will head back to the minors in order to clear a roster spot for Tuesday's starter, Rich Hill (finger), who was activated from the 10-day disabled list in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old owns a 2.41 ERA across four starts (18.2 innings) with Oklahoma City this season. He'll remain one of the team's top options for a promotion when additional bullpen help -- or potentially a spot starter -- is needed in the future.

Jackson was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Jackson will report to Gwinnett after being cast of the Braves' 40-man roster. The 26-year-old made two appearances for the big club this season, allowing two runs across 1.1 innings of relief. He'll continue to serve as organizational pitching depth in the minors.

Dominguez tossed a scoreless eighth inning in his major-league debut Tuesday against the Giants, striking out one and not allowing a single baserunner.

Dominguez came into the game with a 10-run lead and demonstrated why the Phillies called him up after throwing just 16.2 innings above High-A. He got the first two batters to pop out in foul territory before freezing Evan Longoria with a front door slider for his first career strikeout. His stuff was as advertised, with a fastball that sat at 97-98 mph and a slider in the high 80s. It's a profile that looks like a future high-leverage reliever, though how quickly Dominguez can work his way into a more important role remains to be seen.

Brebbia was called up from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

The callup is Brebbia's third of the season. In his two previous stints with the Cardinals this year, he's thrown five scoreless innings, striking out seven without walking a batter. He'll take over a low-leverage role from Ryan Sherriff, who was optioned to Memphis in a corresponding move.

Bowman fired 1.2 scoreless innings in a shutout loss to the Twins on Monday, allowing a hit and issuing a walk while recording three strikeouts.

Bowman has now generated scoreless efforts in three of his past four trips to the mound, an encouraging stretch that comes on the heels of a pair of rough outings in mid-to-late April. The 26-year-old right-hander is valued for his ability to provide multiple innings out of the bullpen, but issues with the long ball in the early going have led to some inconsistency. Factoring in Monday's line, his ERA and WHIP still sit at an unsightly 5.14 and 1.79, respectively.

Gott (ankle) hit a batter, allowed one walk and struck out two during a scoreless eighth inning Monday night against the Padres.

Gott appears to have fully recovered from a sprained ankle after entering Monday's game out of the bullpen. He managed to throw a scoreless inning despite struggling with his command, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports. Gott has accrued a 5.40 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 11.2 innings this season.

Garcia (1-1) allowed seven runs on six hits and two walks across four innings while taking the loss Monday against the Cubs. He struck out three.

Garcia was touched for some detrimental long balls in this one, including two-run home runs in the first and fourth inning, with a three-run blast sandwiched in between. While it was a difficult matchup, this poor outing came out of nowhere for Garcia, who'd allowed just four earned runs through 33 innings heading into play. He'll face a tough matchup as he tries to bounce back Saturday against the Braves.

Strahm (knee) was activated from the disabled list Monday.

The southpaw had been on the DL since the beginning of the season due to knee surgery he underwent in July. Now that he's back with the Padres, Strahm will act as a long reliever. To make room for him on the active roster, Kazuhisa Makita was optioned to Triple-A El Paso.

Guerra was returned to Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

Guerra spent some time in the big leagues as the Padres' 26th man for the series in Mexico. With the team returning stateside, he'll head back to the minors. He went hitless in two pinch-hit appearances and will look to improve his .244 batting average with the Chihuahuas.
