Thompson (6-1) took the loss Tuesday in Baltimore, allowing seven runs on five hits, two hit batsmen and a walk while striking out one in three innings.

Thompson allowed home runs on two of his first three pitches and gave up a third blast in the second inning. His night ended after only 50 pitches as he allowed multiple runs in each of the three innings. Thompson allowed only three homers in his first 45.1 innings this season and was taken deep three times in his first time through the order Tuesday. His next start will likely come early next week against San Diego.

Mushinski was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left elbow discomfort.

Mushinski was promoted from Triple-A Sugar Land over the weekend and delivered a scoreless inning Monday against the Mariners, but he's now unavailable due to the elbow issue. Brandon Bielak was promoted from Sugar Land in a corresponding move.

Neris was handed a four-game suspension after MLB determined he intentionally threw at Eugenio Suarez on Monday while warnings were in place, but the right-hander is appealing the ban and will be available for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Neris had already hit one batter and given up a homer during the inning prior to the incident with Suarez, and the veteran reliver is now facing a multi-game suspension. The 32-year-old will remain available for Houston until the appeal is heard.

Long was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old was sent to Sacramento on Friday but will rejoin the Giants with Alex Cobb (neck) headed to the injured list. Long has started three games for San Francisco this season but has covered only 12.1 frames in 10 appearances, and he's not fully stretched out as a starter. The team has yet to announce who will fill Cobb's spot in the rotation, but Long is likely to be considered.

Silseth was optioned to Double-A Rocket City on Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The 22-year-old delivered six shutout frames during his major-league debut in mid-May, though he surrendered nine runs over 10.1 innings across his past three starts and will now return to Rocket City. Silseth, who is the Angels' top prospect, could receive another big-league opportunity at some point this season, but for now he'll make his way back to Double-A. Jose Suarez was recalled in a corresponding move and is starting Tuesday versus Boston.

Cisnero (shoulder) is traveling to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Cisnero began the regular season on the 60-day injured list due to a right shoulder strain, but he's been cleared to return to game action with the minor-league club. The right-hander will likely require several rehab appearances following his lengthy absence, but he seems to be trending toward a return from the injured list in the coming weeks.

Taylor's elbow injury is now being called inflammation rather than discomfort, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The new diagnosis pushes back Taylor's potential return date, but he's at least avoided an injury serious enough to require surgery. When exactly he's expected to be back is unclear, however.

Morejon was recalled from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

Morejon was sent to the minors after being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Monday, but he'll join the Padres' bullpen after Robert Suarez (knee) was placed on the IL on Tuesday. Morejon hasn't pitched in the majors since April of 2021 after he underwent Tommy John surgery, but he'll likely serve as a long reliever now that he's back with the big-league club.

Suarez was placed on the 15-day injured list with right knee inflammation Tuesday.

Suarez struck out nine in six scoreless innings over his last six relief appearances, but he's apparently dealing with a knee injury that will force him to miss at least two weeks. A timetable for his return hasn't yet been revealed, but left-hander Adrian Morejon was recalled from Triple-A El Paso to take his place in the bullpen.

Gott was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right groin strain Tuesday, retroactive to June 6.

Gott dealt with a quad issue in early May, and he'll now be forced to spend time on the injured list due to a groin strain. It's not yet clear how much time the right-hander is expected to miss, but Tuesday's move made room on the active roster for Hunter Renfroe, who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Gott posted a 9.00 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in five innings over his last five outings.
