Nelson was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

The right-hander has been in the minors for the past month but will return to the majors with Darren O'Day (hamstring) landing on the injured list. Nelson has struggled in eight big-league appearances this season with a 9.75 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB across 12 innings.

The Giants reinstated Beede (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Working his way back from Tommy John surgery, Beede began his minor-league rehab May 6, totaling 12 appearances with a 6.56 ERA and 40:32 K:BB across 35.2 innings. Per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, Beede will be available out of the bullpen starting Tuesday, but he could be an option to start Friday against Washington, depending on how the San Francisco pitching staff stands after the next couple games.

Weems was added to the Diamondbacks' 26-man roster prior to Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Weems was claimed off waivers from Oakland on Monday, and he'll now join Arizona's big-league roster, as expected. The right-hander allowed three earned runs on two hits and four walks across 4.1 major-league innings before being DFA'd by the A's on Saturday.

Finnegan (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

The right-hander threw a simulated game over the weekend, so he'll make his return from the injured list without heading to the minors for a rehab assignment. Finnegan has seven holds with a 3.86 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 36:17 K:BB across 30.1 innings this season.

Cleavinger was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

The southpaw was sent down Monday despite holding a tidy 2.03 ERA across 13.1 big-league innings this season. With Victor Gonzalez (foot) placed on the injured list Tuesday, Cleavinger is set to rejoin the club after just the one day back in the minors.

Gonzalez was placed on the 10-day injured list with left plantar fasciitis Tuesday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Gonzalez had made relief appearances in each of the last two games, and he allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two in 1.2 innings. Per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that he's hopeful it will be a short IL stint for the southpaw, which indicates that he could be activated when the club returns from the All-Star break July 16. Left-hander Garrett Cleavinger was recalled by the Dodgers in a corresponding move.

Webb was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Webb was sent to the minors in late June, and he allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out nine in 4.2 innings across four relief appearances during his most recent stint at Triple-A Gwinnett. The right-hander should reclaim a low-leverage role in Atlanta's bullpen after he posted a 5.29 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 17 innings across 17 relief appearances in the big leagues earlier in the season. Pablo Sandoval was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Borucki (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The southpaw's move to the 60-day injured list is simply procedural to clear up a spot on the 40-man roster after right-hander Thomas Hatch (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day IL and optioned to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Borucki has been sidelined since May 14 due to a forearm strain, but he could begin a rehab assignment this week and will be eligible to be reinstated in mid-July.

Hatch (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Htch had been on the 60-day injured list since the start of the regular season due to right elbow inflammation, but he had been on a rehab assignment since May 20, and he built up to five innings during his most recent appearance. Across six rehab starts, the right-hander posted a 2.79 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 19.1 innings. He'll remain at Triple-A Buffalo now that he's healthy, but he could be an option to join the Blue Jays at some point.

Abreu (calf) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Abreu landed on the IL in late May with a calf injury. He began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land on June 26 and wound up making four appearances, striking out six while allowing one run across four innings. He'll resume his big-league campaign with a 4.21 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 23:13 K:BB.
