Arizona recalled Misiewicz from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

The left-hander will replace Joe Mantiply, who landed on the 15-day injured list with a strained right hamstring. Misiewicz was previously with the D-Backs in April, and he registered a 3.86 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 4.2 innings.

Arizona placed Mantiply on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 9, with a right hamstring strain.

Anthony Misiewicz has been called up from Triple-A Reno to handle a lefty relief role. The 32-year-old Mantiply was sporting a sharp 2.35 ERA with eight strikeouts and zero walks through 7.2 innings this season. He's expected to be out 3-4 weeks.

Ferguson was activated Friday from the paternity list.

Ferguson is back in the Dodgers' bullpen ahead of Friday night's series opener against the Padres after spending a few days away from the club to be with his growing family.

The Cubs optioned Assad to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Assad has allowed 10 earned runs over 17.2 major-league innings (one start, four relief appearances) this year for a 5.09 ERA. He'll presumably join the rotation at Iowa.

Hughes (knee) was activated Friday from the 15-day injured list, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

After recovering from another bout of left knee inflammation, Hughes will return to the Cubs' bullpen Friday night against the Twins. He's been limited to five appearances this year.

Cimber (back) began a rehab assignment with Low-A Dunedin on Thursday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Cimber walked one and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning. It's not clear how many rehab appearances he'll need before being activated, but it shouldn't be too many since he's missed less than three weeks of action.

The White Sox outrighted Colome to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

Colome passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment Wednesday. The veteran reliever had surrendered four runs -- two earned -- on two hits and three walks through three innings of work with Chicago.

Wingenter (biceps) resumed throwing Friday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Wingenter has been out since April 22 with shoulder tendinitis, but he recently underwent a cortisone injection which helped him get over the hump. The right-hander could be an option again for the Tigers' bullpen by the end of May. He had struggled to an 8.31 ERA in 4.1 innings prior to the injury.

Cleavinger was transferred to the 60-day injured list by the Rays on Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim Zack Littell. Cleavinger is likely done for the season after tearing his right ACL last weekend.

Littell was claimed off waivers by the Rays on Friday, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Littell was designated for assignment by the Red Sox earlier this week and will wind up remaining in the American League East. The reliever is out of options, so he'll join the major-league roster. It's not clear yet what the Rays' corresponding move will be.
