The Cubs optioned Roberts to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

Roberts was recalled by the Cubs from Triple-A on April 9 and allowed just one run over his first 6.1 innings in the majors. However, the 27-year-old right-hander struggled in his last outing against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk over two innings. Tom Cosgrove was recalled by the Cubs from Iowa to provide a fresh bullpen arm.

The Cubs recalled Cosgrove from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

Cosgrove started the season with the Padres but was traded to the Cubs on April 10. He tossed four scoreless innings in Triple-A while logging seven strikeouts, and he'll move to the majors to provide left-handed depth out of the Cubs' bullpen. Ethan Roberts was optioned to Iowa in a corresponding move.

Atlanta claimed Anderson off waivers from the Angels on Sunday.

Anderson will make his return to the organization that drafted him in 2016 after Atlanta previously traded him to the Angels in March. He was included in the Angels' Opening Day bullpen and posted a 11.57 ERA, 2.57 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB across 9.1 innings before being dropped from the 40-man roster Wednesday. Since Anderson doesn't have minor-league options remaining, he'll report to Atlanta and will likely assume a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

The Padres transferred Hoeing (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

The move makes room on the Padres' 40-man roster for David Morgan, whose contract was selected from Double-A San Antonio in a corresponding move. Hoeing started the season on the 15-day IL due to a right shoulder strain that he had been dealing with throughout camp. He's in the midst of a throwing program, and his move to the 60-day IL means he won't be eligible to return until late May.

The Padres placed Gillaspie on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

Gillaspie appeared to suffer the injury during the seventh inning of Saturday's loss to the Rays, and he will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. In corresponding moves, David Morgan's contract was selected from Double-A San Antonio and Bryan Hoeing (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL.

The Padres selected Morgan's contract from Double-A San Antonio on Sunday.

Morgan will make the jump to the majors straight from Double-A, where he has posted a 3.12 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 8.2 innings while striking out 19 batters. He'll serve out of the Padres' bullpen after Logan Gillaspie (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks designated Feyereisen for assignment Sunday.

Feyereisen was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday after giving up three runs (two earned) on two hits while striking out one batter in one inning against the Rays on Thursday. If he's not claimed off waivers, the veteran right-hander will have the option of staying in Arizona's organization or exploring his options in free agency. The move corresponds with the Diamondbacks selecting Scott McGough's contract from Reno.

The Diamondbacks optioned Diaz to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Diaz was called up from Triple-A on Friday and made his 2025 debut against Atlanta, but he was roughed up for three runs on four hits and three walks over three innings while striking out one batter. Arizona selected Scott McGough's contract from Reno in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks selected McGough's contract from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

McGough signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks in February after Arizona declined his $4 million team option for 2025 in November. He's appeared in eight games at Triple-A, posting a 4.82 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB across 9.1 innings. The move corresponds with Yilber Diaz being optioned to Reno and J.P. Feyereisen being designated for assignment.

The Marlins recalled Arias from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

The move corresponds with Connor Gillispie being optioned to Jacksonville. Arias has an 11.37 ERA and 2.05 WHIP in 6.1 major-league innings, but he's not allowed a run in three of his four outings in the minors this season. He'll give the Marlins another right-handed option out of the bullpen.
