Knehr will be called up from Triple-A El Paso to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Rockies at Petco Park, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Knehr will be pitching for the Padres for the first time since July 12 and just the fourth time all season. He hasn't allowed a run through 8.1 big-league innings in 2022, but he owns a 6.85 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 67 frames at Triple-A.

Chafin (personal) was reinstated from the restricted list Monday.

Chafin was removed from Detroit's roster for a few days because he was ineligible to pitch in Canada due to his vaccination status, but he is now back with the club. He figures to reclaim a key spot in Detroit's bullpen, though he could head elsewhere before the trade deadline hits.

Martin was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Martin was knocked around by Atlanta in his last start, so he will return to Reno for the time being. Martin broke camp with the big club back in April, so he will likely get another shot to show what he can do at the top level before the season ends.

Hernandez was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Monday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Hernandez was recalled by the Royals on Sunday, but he will head back to Omaha one day later to open up a roster spot for fellow pitcher Daniel Lynch.

Johnson, who is about to undergo Tommy John surgery, was traded from the Rays to the Orioles on Monday as part of a three-team trade that sent Jose Siri to Tampa Bay and Trey Mancini to Houston, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Johnson was a very promising pitching prospect prior to suffering a torn UCL. He has premium stuff and logged a 3.00 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 41 strikeouts in 27 innings at High-A this year. Given that he turns 24 in September and might not return to action until the 2024 season, it's possible the Orioles could convert him to a reliever in the coming years to fast-track him to the majors.

Ginkel was called up from Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Ginkel earned his way onto Arizona's roster by posting a 1.17 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 45:12 K:BB in 30.2 innings over 30 relief appearances with Reno. Despite the stellar numbers, don't expect him to occupy a key spot in Arizona's bullpen out of the gate.

Quijada (0-3) took the loss against Texas on Sunday, allowing three runs on one hit and two walks while striking out one batter over one-third of an inning.

The game was tied 2-2 when Quijada entered in the ninth-inning, but the left-hander was unable to keep things that way. He threw only six of 17 pitches for strikes and loaded the bases before being pulled with one out, and he was tagged with the loss when Raisel Iglesias subsequently surrendered a bases-clearing double. Quijada had been pitching well coming into the contest, allowing only one run over 7.1 innings across his previous seven appearances in July.

Hernandez (illness) is scheduled to make a one-inning rehab appearance Monday with the Marlins' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Hernandez has cleared all COVID-19-related protocols since landing on the injured list July 21 and can now turn his focus to getting ramped back up again. Since he's been away from the Marlins for the past week and a half, he could need another rehab appearance after Monday's outing before being activated from the IL.

Trivino and Frankie Montas were traded from the A's to the Yankees on Monday, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

It remains to be seen who is headed to Oakland in exchange for the two pitchers, but Trivino is set to finish the campaign with the Yankees. Southpaw A.J. Puk and righty Zach Jackson are arguably the best healthy options remaining on the Oakland depth chart, though Dany Jimenez (shoulder) also appears close to rejoining the active roster.

Treinen (shoulder) will join the Dodgers on the road in San Francisco and throw a simulated game Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.

The Dodgers kick off a four-game set in San Francisco on Monday, and Treinen is expected to meet the club there before throwing a sim game Wednesday. The righty reliever faced live hitters July 29 for the first time since being placed on the injured list, tossing one inning without experiencing any setbacks. Treinen hasn't pitched in a big-league game since April 14, so he'll likely need an extended rehab stint once he's ready to return to game action.
