The White Sox optioned Peralta to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

Just two days after being selected from Charlotte and giving up a run in one-third of an inning during his season debut, Peralta will now head back to the minors. He'll keep his spot on the White Sox's 40-man roster, though a 7.16 ERA through 16.1 innings at Triple-A doesn't bode well for a return to the big leagues anytime soon.

The Pirates designated Hernandez for assignment Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

A week after being optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis, Hernandez will now lose his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Dennis Santana, who was claimed off waivers Tuesday. The 26-year-old southpaw owns a 4.82 ERA through 56 career MLB innings, but he has not been nearly as successful this season in the minors, posting a 7.04 ERA and 1.85 WHIP through 15.1 frames.

The Mariners recalled Diaz from Triple-A Tacoma, and he'll start Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

The left-hander will start in place of Bryan Woo, who was scratched Tuesday for unspecified reasons. It will be Diaz's first MLB appearance of the campaign, but he's enjoyed a strong year at Tacoma with a 2.98 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 67:16 K:BB across 66.1 innings. The lack of walks is a notable improvement from 2023, as Diaz had a 4.4 BB/9 at Triple-A and walked seven over seven frames in the big leagues.

The Mariners recalled Bazardo from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Bazardo owns a 5.87 ERA through 7.2 innings in the majors this season, though he has given up just one run in five innings since returning to Triple-A on May 26. He'll now rejoin the Mariners' bullpen to replace Matt Bowman, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Bachman (shoulder) will move his rehab assignment to Double-A Rocket City on Thursday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Bachman allowed an earned run on three hits across three innings while recording two strikeouts in his most recent rehab outing in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Saturday. The righty will now head to Double-A as he gets stretched back out following offseason shoulder surgery.

The Cubs reinstated Brewer (back) from the injured list Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Since landing on the IL in mid-May, Brewer has appeared in three rehab games at Triple-A Iowa, allowing one earned run in four innings while striking out six batters and walking three. The 31-year-old owns a 3.09 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through 11.2 big-league frames this season and should return to a middle-relief role now that he's healthy. Ben Brown (neck) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Brown will be placed on the injured list with a left neck strain, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Brown has been dealing with the strain over the last few weeks and will head back to Chicago to undergo more testing. The severity of the injury is unclear but we should learn more in the coming days. Jordan Wicks is the primary candidate to take Brown's spot in the rotation, while Colten Brewer (back) should join the bullpen after being reinstated from the 15-day IL.

Gallegos (shoulder) will throw at least one inning of relief Tuesday at Double-A Springfield, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Gallegos is set for his fifth minor-league rehab appearance Tuesday and could toss multiple innings for the first time during his rehab stint. In four innings of minor-league work, Gallegos has allowed five runs on five hits and two walks. He should be approaching a return to the big-league roster.

O'Brien (forearm) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday at Double-A Springfield, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

O'Brien will face live hitters for the first time since going on the injured list back in March. If the live session goes well, the 29-year-old could begin a rehab assignment later in the week.

Faedo (hip) played catch Tuesday and will ramp up his throwing volume throughout the week, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Faedo was placed on the 15-day IL Wednesday with right hip inflammation and has resumed a throwing program. While it's unclear if he'll require a minor-league rehab stint, Faedo seems to be on track to return in late June.
