Santiago's 10-game suspension was upheld Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Santiago was ejected from a game in late June for having a foreign substance on his glove, but he was able to pitch while appealing his suspension. However, he'll serve the full length of his suspension following the All-Star break, and the Mariners will have to play with a shorthanded roster for the next 10 games. The southpaw will be eligible to return July 27 against the Astros.

Peralta was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Thursday.

It's not yet clear whether Peralta has tested positive for the virus, but he'll be unavailable in the near future following his placement on the injured list. If the southpaw hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, he'll be eligible to return as soon as he clears the league's health and safety protocols. Across his last two appearances, Peralta allowed a run on a hit and a walk while striking out one in two innings. Left-hander Zack Britton (hamstring) was reinstated from the injured list as part of a corresponding move.

Jarvis was placed on the injured list Wednesday with an oblique issue, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Jarvis allowed six runs in 4.2 innings in what was his worst start of the season Sunday. Overall, the right-hander has pitched well, posting a 4.20 ERA through 60 innings in 2021. It's unclear how long Jarvis will be kept out of Double-A action with the injury.

The Angels designated Peters for assignment Wednesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Peters had already been optioned June 29, but now he is removed from the 40-man roster to make room for the newly acquired Adam Eaton. The lefty has never posted a sub-5.00 ERA in a big-league season, so it seems unlikely he'll attract much attention on waivers.

Feyereisen owns a 3-1 record, 1.35 ERA and three holds across the 13.1 innings covering his 13 appearances since June 1.

The 28-year-old has been yet another productive bullpen find for manager Kevin Cash, with Feyereisen progressively working himself into higher-leverage assignments with his consistently effective work since arriving from the Brewers in the Willy Adames trade May 21. Feyereisen even has three saves (six chances) with Tampa and is holding either handedness of hitter to sub-.200 BAAs, with the one lingering concern being significant control issues that have led to a 5.1 BB/9 across 38.2 total innings this season.

Lopez was placed on the bereavement list Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Lopez will be sidelined for a minimum of three games following his placement on the bereavement list, and the Orioles haven't yet announced when he could return. He's posted a 6.75 ERA and 2.04 WHIP in 24 innings across his last five appearances.

Topa (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with the Rookie-level ACL Brewers Blue on Tuesday.

Topa has missed the entire regular season so far after suffering a flexor strain during spring training. He advanced to throwing bullpens in late June and will now participate in his first game action of the season. Given his lengthy absence, the right-hander will likely need multiple weeks in the minors to get ramped up, but he will certainly be a candidate to join the Brewers' bullpen in late July or early August, assuming he doesn't face any setbacks. Topa impressed during his brief time with the Brewers in 2020, posting a 2.35 ERA and 12:1 K:BB across 7.2 innings.

Weber was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Tuesday.

The Brewers claimed Weber after the right-hander was DFA'd by Boston last month. He pitched one scoreless inning for Milwaukee before being sent to Triple-A Nashville on June 27. With Milwaukee acquiring lefty Kyle Lobstein from the Nationals on Tuesday, Weber is the odd man out on the 40-man roster. The 30-year-old could attract interest on the waiver wire from clubs in search of bullpen depth.

Guzman (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday and optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Guzman has been on a rehab stint with Jacksonville since late June, and he's allowed five earned runs on nine hits and four walks across 7.1 innings. He'll reclaim his spot on the 40-man roster with his Tuesday activation but will remain in Triple-A for the time being. The Marlins could look to stretch out Guzman in hopes of having him available to start big-league games later this season.

Rodriguez went four innings in his most recent start for Double-A Rocket City, striking out six while allowing one run on three hits and a walk against Montgomery.

In three starts since being sent down to Double-A, he's pitched 1.1, then 2.2 and now four full innings, so it certainly appears that the Angels are stretching Rodriguez out for a potential starting role. There's not an obvious opening in the rotation for him, but considering that the 22-year-old hasn't thrown a whole lot of innings in his career, the team may be content to have him put in extra work as a starter in Double-A and perhaps Triple-A before he returns to the majors.
