  • Dodgers' J.P. Feyereisen: Summoned to majors

    The Dodgers recalled Feyereisen from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    Feyereisen was knocked around for three runs over one inning of work in the second game of the Dodgers' series in South Korea versus the Padres. It was the 31-year-old's first appearance in the majors since 2022, as he missed all of 2023 following shoulder surgery. Feyereisen will probably work in middle relief for the time being.

  • Nick Ramirez RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Nick Ramirez: Recalled from Triple-A

    Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City by the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Acquired from the Yankees earlier this month, Ramirez posted a 2.66 ERA and 28:9 K:BB over 40.2 innings at the big-league level in 2023. He should operate in low-leverage spots for the Dodgers.

  • Connor Brogdon RP | CLE

    Dodgers' Connor Brogdon: Hits 15-day IL

    The Dodgers placed Brogdon on the 15-day injured list Saturday with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

    It's not clear how long he might be sidelined. Brogdon was acquired from the Phillies earlier this week and allowed two runs over one inning in his lone appearance with the Dodgers.

  • Kyle Finnegan RP | DET

    Nationals' Kyle Finnegan: Picks up save No. 5

    Finnegan picked up the save Saturday in Oakland, striking out one in a perfect inning.

    Finnegan was tasked with protecting a two-run lead and did so without a sweat, requiring just nine pitches to dispose of the Athletics in order. While he has an un-closer-like 4.26 ERA, Finnegan is tied for the National League lead with his five saves. Hunter Harvey -- who pitched a scoreless eighth inning Saturday -- has yet to notch a save.

  • Phillies' Orion Kerkering: Will be activated Sunday

    Kerkering (forearm) will be activated from the injured list before Sunday's game versus the Pirates, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Kerkering got a late start to the season due to illness and a right forearm strain, but he looked sharp on his rehab assignment with a 10:0 K:BB over 4.1 shutout innings. The 23-year-old might be eased into high-leverage situations, but it shouldn't be long before he's one of the Phillies' most trusted relievers.

  • Nick Nelson RP | PHI

    Phillies' Nick Nelson: Optioned to Triple-A

    Nelson was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    He's clearing space for Orion Kerkering (forearm), who will be activated from the injured list Sunday. Nelson has yielded two runs over 3.1 relief innings with the Phillies this season.

  • Cardinals' Giovanny Gallegos: Snags win Friday

    Gallegos (2-0) earned the win Friday over the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on a hit and a walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

    Gallegos was called on in the fifth inning after Steven Matz got into a jam, and Gallegos ultimately allowed a game-tying home run to Eugenio Suarez. That was the extent of the damage, as Gallegos settled down for a scoreless sixth inning and picked up the win when the Cardinals took the lead for good in the seventh. The right-hander has allowed at least one run in three of his seven appearances so far, pitching to a 5.40 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB over 6.2 innings. He's added a save and two holds, but manager Oliver Marmol is no longer using a closer-by-committee approach, so Gallegos is unlikely to see as many save chances as in previous years.

  • Mets' Sean Reid-Foley: Beginning assignment in High-A

    Reid-Foley (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Brooklyn on Sunday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    A right shoulder impingement has kept Reid-Foley on the shelf since the beginning of the season, but he now seems ready to test his shoulder in a game setting. It's unclear how many rehab outings the Mets want him to make before returning him to the major-league bullpen, but the 28-year-old's assignment will likely move to a higher-level affiliate if Sunday's appearance goes well.

  • Matt Andriese RP | MIA

    Marlins' Matt Andriese: DFA'd by Fish

    The Marlins designated Andriese for assignment Saturday.

    Just nine days after being selected from Triple-A Jacksonville, Andriese will once again be without a 40-man roster spot. The 34-year-old right-hander allowed three earned runs across five innings over three appearances during his stint in the majors and will most likely pass through waivers unclaimed. Calvin Faucher was recalled from Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

  • Calvin Faucher RP | MIA

    Marlins' Calvin Faucher: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Marlins recalled Faucher from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

    Faucher failed to make the Marlins' roster out of spring training, but he will now come up from the minors to provide Miami with some extra bullpen depth. The 28-year-old righty has given up three earned runs across 6.1 innings over four appearances in Triple-A and will likely be limited to low-leverage situations in the majors. Matt Andriese was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
