Reyes underwent surgery on his right shoulder last week and has been ruled out for the 2023 season, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The surgery is Reyes' second on his right shoulder in a little over a year, as he previously required a procedure to repair a torn labrum back in May 2022. The right-hander was signed to a one-year, $1.1 million contract in the offseason with the hope that the former Cardinals top prospect could offer a boost to the Los Angeles bullpen, but he won't end up throwing a pitch for the Dodgers in 2023. His deal contains a $3 million team option for 2024 that the Dodgers will most likely decline this winter.

The Angels recalled Herget from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Herget has made the trip from Salt Lake to Anaheim a few times already this season and owns a 4.38 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 12.1 innings with the big club. He'll likely work mostly in low-leverage spots out of the bullpen while he's up with the Angels.

Snead (shoulder) fired 1.2 scoreless innings for the Athletics' Arizona Complex League team Saturday against the AZL Reds, allowing no hits and one walk while recording a strikeout.

The left-hander redeemed himself after surrendering three runs over two-thirds of an inning during his first rehab appearance Tuesday. Snead may be set to move up affiliates following Saturday's encouraging outing, but he still looks to be trending toward a late-June regular-season debut at the earliest.

Tarnok (shoulder) fired two scoreless innings for the Athletics' Arizona Complex League team against the AZL Cubs on Friday, allowing a hit and a walk while recording two strikeouts.

The caliber of competition aside, it was certainly a strong long-awaited start to Tarnok's rehab assignment. The right-hander, acquired via a three-team trade this offseason, had been sidelined since early March with his right shoulder strain. Tarnok figures to have plenty more rehab outings ahead of him at different affiliates for the next several weeks before being deemed ready to make his Athletics debut.

Speier (2-1) recorded the win over the Angels on Saturday, retiring the only batter he faced on a strikeout to close out the fifth inning.

What might seem like an easy win on the surface actually took some doing from Speier. The southpaw worked through an eight-pitch encounter with Shohei Ohtani that saw the two-way star work the count to 3-2 before fouling off a pair of sinkers and finally go down looking, leaving men stranded on second and third in the process. Speier has proven a highly effective addition to the Mariners bullpen, now posting eight consecutive scoreless appearances and generating an impressive 20:2 K:BB to go along with a 2.38 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and seven holds across 22.2 innings.

Munoz was credited with his third hold in a win over the Angels on Saturday, firing 1.1 scoreless innings during which he recorded three strikeouts.

The fireballing right-hander was making his second appearance since being activated from an extended stay on the injured list due to a deltoid strain. As was the case with his return appearance Tuesday, Munoz did not disappoint, getting his four outs on an efficient 15 pitches while pounding 11 in for strikes. Manager Scott Servais took the opportunity to get both Munoz and fellow high-leverage asset Paul Sewald some work in the non-save scenario -- the latter worked the ninth inning. However, the order of their late-inning usage could conceivably be flipped in any given game moving forward considering how effective Munoz already looks despite his long layoff.

The Dodgers optioned Jackson to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Jackson will head back to the minors since he likely wouldn't have been available out of the bullpen for the next few days after recording a three-inning save in Saturday's win over the Phillies. The Dodgers called up Adam Kolarek from Oklahoma City to provide the team with a fresh arm for Sunday's series finale.

The Dodgers selected Kolarek's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Kolarek will get a chance to appear in a big-league game for the first time since 2022, when he registered a 4.58 ERA for the Athletics. Andre Jackson was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding transaction, with Trayce Thompson (oblique) being moved to the 60-day injured list to open room on the 40-man roster for Kolarek.

Herget was optioned to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Herget will return to Louisville just one day after he was called up. He appeared in the team's contest against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits while also hitting a batter over 1.1 frames. The 32-year-old was the odd man out in Cincinnati's bullpen with Casey Legumina (ankle) being activated from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Legumina (ankle) was activated the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Legumina will return to the major-league roster for the first time since he was placed on the IL on May 14 with a right ankle contusion. The right-hander appeared in two games with Triple-A Louisville on his rehab assignment, allowing a solo homer while striking out four batters over two innings. Legumina will replace Kevin Herget in the big-league bullpen after Herget was optioned to Louisville on Sunday.
