Quijada (oblique) was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Quijada has been sidelined since Opening Day with a strained oblique but will rejoin the active roster after a three-game rehab assignment. The 26-year-old had a 4.56 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 38:15 K:BB over 25.2 innings last year and should work in middle relief out of the bullpen.

Kolarek was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Kolarek was promoted from Triple-A during the opening weekend of the season, and he'll return there after giving up four runs over his past three outings. Overall this season the left-hander has a 4.58 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 9:8 K:BB across 17.2 innings.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Ridings (shoulder) isn't throwing at the moment, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Ridings was reportedly throwing from flat ground a few weeks ago, so he may have encountered a setback in his recovery from a right shoulder impingement. However, Boone indicated that surgery is not being considered, thus it's unclear what Ridings' path toward a return currently looks like. Until more information is provided, a timeline for the right-handed hurler to make his season debut will remain murky.

Logue was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Logue had a 2.04 ERA over his first four outings for the A's, but he gave up 11 runs in his past two starts and is now headed back to the minors. The 26-year-old could receive another look in the majors this year but for now will return to Las Vegas, where he has a 5.63 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB across 16 innings.

The Cubs placed Martin on the bereavement list Sunday.

Per MLB rules, Martin will be away from the Cubs for 3-to-7 days while he tends to the personal matter. The Cubs have yet to announce a corresponding move to replace Martin on the roster, and the team is unlikely to summon another player from the minors until prior to Monday's doubleheader with the Brewers. Martin has mostly worked in middle relief for the Cubs this season, logging two holds to go with a 3.94 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 18 appearances.

Garza (lat) returned to action for Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. He allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and three walks while recording just one out (via strikeout) versus Triple-A Buffalo.

This was Garza's season debut, as a right lat strain kept him out of action for nearly two months. The 28-year-old got his first taste of major-league play last year, but he'll likely need to prove himself again at Columbus before potentially being a candidate to join the Guardians' bullpen this year.

Tapia was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Tapia was claimed off waivers by the A's in late April, and he'll now join the big-league club after spending the past month with Las Vegas. He has a 3.38 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB over 13.1 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

The Cubs recalled Leiter from Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Leiter will be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's game against the White Sox, but if the right-hander isn't needed, he could slot into the rotation for one half of Monday's doubleheader with the Brewers as a replacement for Wade Miley (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. The Cubs still have five other healthy members of their rotation, but Leiter could still line up for a two-start week since Monday's doubleheader is followed by a twin bill five days later against the Cardinals.

Lawrence was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Lawrence was optioned to make room for the return of Robert Stephenson (illness). He's spent the majority of the season with Colorado but has maintained just a 5.52 ERA and 1.84 WHIP with 12 walks across 14.2 innings.

Atlanta optioned Davidson to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Though Davidson limited the Marlins to one run over five innings in a losing effort in his third start of the season Saturday, he issued four free passes for the second outing in a row. Overall, Davidson has walked 13 batters and struck out 10 over 15.1 big-league innings this season, so Atlanta will likely want to have him iron out his control problems in the minors before giving him another look. Atlanta hasn't announced an immediate replacement in the rotation for Davidson, with reliever Spencer Strider and Triple-A starters Kyle Muller, Huascar Ynoa, Bryce Elder and Touki Toussaint all representing possible options to take over as the big club's No. 5 starter.
