The Dodgers optioned Davis to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Since April 28, Davis has been back and forth between Triple-A Oklahoma City and Los Angeles. While he was called up Monday as the Dodgers commenced a three-game series with the Marlins, he is being sent back down a day later without any innings of work. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers recalled Matt Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Dodgers recalled Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Sauer gave up a run in 1.2 innings during his lone MLB appearance April 7. Since then, he's surrendered just two runs in 11.2 frames while striking out 12 batters and walking one in Triple-A. Sauer may be a candidate to replace Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) in the starting rotation, though the Dodgers haven't yet specified what the former's role will be while he's with the big club. Noah Davis was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Moreta (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton on Tuesday.

When he appears in a game, it will be his first since he underwent Tommy John surgery in March of 2024. Moreta is not on the 40-man roster but could be an option for the Pirates' bullpen at some point this season.

The Mets plan to call up Waddell from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as a starter or bulk reliever in Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks at Citi Field, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The Mets will likely make a determination after Tuesday's game whether to deploy Waddell as a starter or behind an opener in his team debut. Waddell has posted a 1.54 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through five starts and 23.1 innings this season with Triple-A Syracuse. He'll be making his first major-league appearance since 2021 on Wednesday.

Minter (lat) is considering season-ending surgery, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.

Minter was removed from the game Saturday against the Nationals with a strained lat and is facing a potentially lengthy rehab. The injury has been deemed "significant," according to manager Carlos Mendoza. Minter has a 1.64 ERA and 14:5 K:BB across 13 appearances out of the Mets' bullpen.

The Pirates placed Santana (personal) on the bereavement list Tuesday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Santana will step away from the team for a few days in order to tend to a personal matter. David Bednar is back in the closer mix after a brief stint at Triple-A Indianapolis, and he'll be the favorite for saves while Santana is away from the club.

The Pirates recalled Stratton from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Stratton -- who has allowed seven runs with a 9:4 K:BB in 11.2 innings with Indianapolis this season -- is taking the roster spot vacated by Dennis Santana, who was placed on the bereavement list. He will likely be up only for a few days while Santana is away.

The Diamondbacks activated Ginkel (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Ginkel has been sidelined for the first month of the season due to shoulder inflammation, but he's ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks after a two-outing rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno. The right-hander recorded five saves and 18 holds with a 3.21 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 77:15 K:BB across 70 innings last season and should fill a high-leverage role again in 2025. Justin Martinez and Shelby Miller are likely to remain the favorite for saves initially, but Ginkel could see some chances with A.J. Puk (elbow) on the injured list.

Urena was designated for assignment by the Mets on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The Mets removed Urena from the 40-man roster in order to recall Kevin Herget from Triple-A Syracuse. Urena tossed three innings of relief Monday against the Nationals and allowed seven hits, including a pair of homers, and five earned runs in the Mets' 19-5 win. Despite the rough outing, Urena was credited with the save.
