The Mets recalled Devenski from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

The veteran right-hander was up with the Mets for one day earlier in the season and is now back in the majors. Devenski gave up two runs over two frames in his lone outing but has a 1.96 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB over 18.1 innings for Syracuse this year.

Patino (elbow) was activated off the minor-league injured list and transferred to Double-A San Antonio on Thursday, per MadFriars.

Patino re-signed with San Diego on a minor-league deal in January and began a rehab assignment in early May. The right-hander appeared in four contests with Single-A Lake Elsinore, allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits over nine innings while posting an 8:5 K:BB. Patino is scheduled to make his first start with San Antonio on Friday.

The Phillies optioned de Geus to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday.

The right-hander was called up as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader and allowed a run over two innings against Atlanta in his first MLB outing of the season. De Geus will now return to Lehigh Valley, where he has a 0.95 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB across 19 innings.

Atlanta optioned Peterson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

The right-hander was promoted for Thursday's doubleheader against the Phillies and will return to the minors after giving up two runs over one inning. Peterson has a 2.45 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB over 14.2 innings with Gwinnett this season.

The Reds recalled Richardson from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

The right-hander was sent to Louisville on May 22 but he'll come back up to take the spot of Luis Mey, who was optioned to Triple-A on Thursday. Richardson has made 10 appearances in the majors this season and has a 1.32 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 7:5 K:BB across 13.2 innings.

Finnegan (shoulder) struck out a batter and allowed an unearned run on one hit and one walk in an inning of relief during Thursday's 9-3 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

Finnegan made his first appearance in a week, as a bout of shoulder fatigue prompted the Nationals to give him some rest. The right-hander might have been a candidate to pitch earlier in the series, but a 9-1 loss Tuesday and a 9-0 win Wednesday presented no high-leverage opportunities. Thursday's appearance was fairly pressure-free as well, coming in the bottom of the 10th inning after Washington put up seven runs in the top of the frame. Finnegan should continue to dominate save opportunities for Washington after converting 15 of 18 chances prior to his brief absence, although his name will likely circulate in trade rumors once again this summer with the Nats far from playoff contention.

Hall will start Friday's game against the Phillies, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Hall will serve as an opener, though he could work multiple innings. He was activated from the injured list and made his first big-league appearance of 2025 on Monday, when he worked 2.1 frames while allowing one run. Quinn Priester is projected to cover the bulk of the innings Friday in Philadelphia.

The Diamondbacks are expected to select Brigham's contract from Triple-A Reno ahead of their weekend series against the Nationals, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Brigham made his last appearance in the big leagues during 2023 for the Mets. He pitched in 37 games and posted a 5.26 ERA across 37.2 innings. In 17 appearances for Triple-A Reno in 2025, he has a 5.82 ERA in 21.2 innings with 34:9 K:BB. The 33-year-old will take the roster spot of Kevin Ginkel, who is set to be optioned.

The Diamondbacks are expected to option Ginkel to Triple-A Reno ahead of their weekend series versus the Nationals, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Ginkel began the season on the injured list due to a shoulder injury and has not looked like his usual self since coming off the injured list in late April. During his most recent outing May 27, he allowed five earned runs on four hits and a walk and was only able to register one out. In a corresponding move, Arizona will select Jeff Brigham from Triple-A Reno.

The Cubs designated Kriske for assignment Thursday.

Just five days after joining the active roster, Kriske will now give up his spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters for Genesis Cabrera, who officially signed with the Cubs on Thursday. Kriske pitched two shutout innings during his lone appearance against the Reds on Saturday, and he owns a 3.57 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 17.2 frames at Triple-A Iowa.
