The Angels optioned Herget to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

After allowing three runs over the course of one inning in his appearance Wednesday against Texas, Herget will head back to Triple-A. Herget has a 2.25 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in the minors this season, so it's possible he returns to Los Angeles later this year if he produces similar numbers in Salt Lake. Kolton Ingram was promoted from Double-A Rocket City in a corresponding move to take Herget's spot in the Angels' bullpen.

The Angels recalled Ingram from Double-A Rocket City on Thursday.

Ingram has fared well in Double-A this season, putting up a 2.63 ERA and 1.33 WHIP through 27.1 frames and has two saves on the season. However, he's yet to play beyond the Double-A level, so the Angels will likely use him out of the bullpen sparingly early on. He'll replace Jimmy Herget on the roster, who was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Lovelady was removed from Thursday's game against the Rays with an apparent left arm injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Lovelady was grabbing his left forearm after throwing a pitch and was instantly removed by trainers. The A's will take a look at him and should provide an official update relatively soon.

Henriquez was placed on the 7-day injured list in Triple-A St. Paul due to a left oblique strain Thursday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Henriquez missed over a month at the start of the year due to elbow soreness and will now miss even more time because of an unrelated injury. The 22-year-old reliever holds an 8.15 ERA and 2.21 WHIP through 17.2 innings in Triple-A.

Calvo was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Thursday.

This move clears out 40-man roster space for Jorge Alfaro, who is joining the Rockies on Thursday. Calvo made his MLB debut last month and retired all three batters he faced, but the 27-year-old has posted a rough 7.43 ERA in 23 innings this season at the Triple-A level.

Pittsburgh recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

De Los Santos has struggled to a 6.65 ERA in 21.2 innings this season at the Triple-A level, but the Pirates need a fresh bullpen arm with Colin Holderman (wrist) landing on the 15-day injured list.

Pittsburgh placed Holderman on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right wrist inflammation.

Yerry De Los Santos is getting the call to fill the vacated spot in the Pirates' bullpen. There's no official timetable yet on Holderman, who has posted a 4.01 ERA and 28:7 K:BB through 24.2 innings this season.

Dubin (elbow) has surrendered 10 earned runs on 14 hits and three walks while striking out seven across 7.1 innings in three appearances for Triple-A Sugar Land since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list May 31.

Dubin was on the shelf for about a month with a right elbow strain, but he appears to be getting stretched back out again now that he's healthy again. Over his 26 innings with Sugar Land this season, the 27-year-old right-hander has pitched to a 7.96 ERA and 1.69 WHIP.

The Mets activated Ridings (lat) from the 60-day injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Ridings has been on the injured list all season recovering from a lat strain as well as the shoulder problems that he endured last year. He surrendered one run over three innings during his rehab assignment with Single-A St. Lucie and will now return to Triple-A, where he holds a 2.45 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 11 innings in his career.

Atlanta recalled Heller from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

The 31-year-old right-hander will fill the bullpen spot left vacant by Jesse Chavez, who has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a severe shin contusion. Heller was recently acquired from the Rays in exchange for international bonus pool. He hasn't appeared in a major-league game since 2020.
