VerHagen (hip) is scheduled to make his second rehab appearance at Double-A Springfield during the upcoming week, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

VerHagen is expected to increase his workload from the 1.2 innings and 27 pitches he tossed in his first rehab outing at Triple-A Memphis on May 3. Once he's deemed ready to return from the 10-day injured list, VerHagen is expected to settle into a multi-inning/mop-up role out of the St. Louis bullpen.

Treinen (shoulder) won't undergo an MRI as previously scheduled Monday and will instead begin a rehab program, and he's not expected to return from the injured list until after the All-Star break, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Treinen has been out with the shoulder injury for two weeks, and it's apparently severe enough to sideline him for the next two-plus months. The 33-year-old has yet to resume throwing since landing on the shelf, and he'll likely need to work to strengthen his arm before beginning a throwing program.

Gonzalez (elbow) will undergo arthroscopic debridement surgery that will force him to miss extended time, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Manager Dave Roberts was initially hopeful that Gonzalez would be able to return in mid-to-late May, but the southpaw will be forced to miss extended time due to his procedure. It's possible Gonzalez is able to return prior to the end of the regular season, but his return timetable depends on what the doctors find during his surgery.

Finnegan (finger) appeared in relief in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Rockies, striking out two over a 19-pitch inning while allowing one earned run on two hits.

The appearance was Finnegan's first since he suffered a cut on one of his fingers in a May 1 outing against the Giants. Assuming Finnegan felt fine coming out of Thursday's appearance, he'll be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's series finale with the Angels.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa said after Sunday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox that Bummer is slated to land on the injured list with a sore knee, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Bummer presumably picked up the injury during his most recent relief appearance Friday, when he tossed a scoreless inning en route to notching his seventh hold of the season. The White Sox will likely make the transaction official prior to Monday's series opener with the Guardians.

Rosenberg was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Rosenberg has been in the majors for the past week but didn't make an appearance during his time with the Halos. He'll head back to Salt Lake, where he has a 0.96 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB over 9.1 innings.

The Mariners transferred Giles (finger) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Giles' move to the 60-day IL ensures he won't make his season debut until at least early June and clears room on the 40-man roster for pitcher George Kirby, who was called up from Double-A Arkansas in advance of his first MLB start Sunday against the Rays. Though Giles was sidelined for the entire 2021 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, a right middle finger sprain is what has prevented him from pitching at any level with the Mariners thus far in 2022. He was cleared to begin a throwing program just over a week ago, but he'll essentially need to complete a spring training-esque progression before he's deemed ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Rom (undisclosed) was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list at Double-A Bowie this week.

Rom made his longest start of the season May 4, tossing 5.1 innings of two-run, five-hit ball, but it appears he's sustained an injury. There are no available details on the southpaw's injury. He has a 3.98 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB in 20.1 innings with Bowie.

Rogers allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to record a hold in Saturday's 13-7 win over the Cardinals.

The Giants' bullpen has struggled lately, but Rogers has mostly avoided any issues individually, allowing just one run in five innings across his last six outings. The setup man protected a three-run lead in the eighth inning Saturday before the Giants tacked on some more runs. Rogers has a 2.31 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 9:2 K:BB and seven holds in 11.2 innings this season.

Santos was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Santos was promoted from Sacramento on Thursday and will return there after firing 1.2 scoreless innings during his lone appearance for the Giants. He could rejoin the big-league club later in the season when bullpen depth is needed.
