Lambert was returned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.

The 27-year-old was available out of the White Sox's bullpen during their weekend series in Toronto, but he'll head back to the minors since Dylan Cease and Kendall Graveman were reinstated from the restricted list Friday. Lambert has made three appearances (two starts) for the White Sox this year, and he's posted a 5.14 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in seven innings.

Hernandez will be available out of the bullpen for Friday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Hernandez was listed as the starting pitcher for Friday's matchup, but Richard Bleier will serve as the opener against San Francisco. However, Hernandez will be available to serve as a bulk reliever since he isn't dealing with an injury.

Hernandez (elbow) was sent to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday for a rehab assignment.

He underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2021 and is now almost 14 months removed from the procedure. The rehab assignment will likely be lengthy, but once healthy, Hernandez should join the big-league bullpen.

Faucher was called up from Triple-A Durham on Friday.

Faucher will return to the major leagues after getting sent down May 10, replacing J.P. Feyereisen (shoulder) after he was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday. The right-hander struggled in his only appearance with the Rays this season, surrendering five runs on three hits and two walks with one strikeout in an inning on the mound against the Angels on May 9.

Feyereisen was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right shoulder impingement.

Feyereisen pitched one-third of an inning Thursday, but appears to have come up lame after the appearance. He'll now be away from the team for multiple weeks while nursing his throwing shoulder, potentially looking at an extended absence. Calvin Faucher was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday to take his spot in the bullpen.

Brebbia will start Friday's game against the Marlins, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The 32-year-old will take the mound on short notice for his first career start Friday after Alex Cobb (back) was a late scratch. Brebbia hasn't pitched more than two innings in any of his first 22 appearances of the season, and he's unlikely to have a significant pitch count during Friday's bullpen game.

Machado was promoted from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Machado will return to the big leagues after being sent down Tuesday, filling in for Josh Rogers (shoulder) who was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday. The right-hander has produced a 5.40 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over 13.1 innings in 12 appearances with the Nationals this season.

Hjelle was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Hjelle will rejoin the Giants after making a quick appearance with the big-league club earlier this season, tossing a scoreless frame with a strikeout May 6 versus the Cardinals. He will take the roster spot of Sam Long who was optioned to Triple-A on Friday.

Long was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

After being recalled Wednesday, Long tossed two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and a walk while striking out a batter Thursday versus the Marlins. He'll now return to Sacramento as Sean Hjelle makes his way to the big leagues.

Rogers (0-3) took the loss and blew a save against Milwaukee on Thursday, allowing four runs on two hits and two hit batsmen without retiring a batter.

Rogers was asked to protect a three-run ninth-inning and couldn't get the job done. The southpaw allowed an inning-opening single before hitting two straight batters to load the bases. He then allowed a bases-clearing, game-tying triple before being pulled, and he was charged with the loss when Andrew McCutchen followed with a walkoff hit against Nabil Crismatt. Rogers was incredible over his first 20 games with San Diego, allowing only one run over 20.1 innings and racking up 17 saves. Since then, he's given up seven earned runs across 1.2 frames over three games while picking up three losses and two blown saves. He's likely earned some leeway given his strong start to the campaign, but continued struggles could result in the Padres removing him from the closer role to sort things out.
