Edwards (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Edwards landed on the 10-day IL with a strained left oblique Wednesday, and the injury will apparently force him to miss at least two months. The righty won't be eligible to return until at least mid-August. Outfielder Jared Hoying's contract was selected as part of a corresponding move.

Antone (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Friday and could be activated by Sunday at the earliest, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Antone has been traveling with the Reds during their current road trip, but he won't return from the injured list when he's first eligible Friday. Manager David Bell said that the 27-year-old could return Sunday if his bullpen session goes "extremely well," so it's possible the right-hander could be available for the series finale against the Padres or early next week in Minnesota.

Strahm (knee) has joined the major-league training staff to continue his rehab process, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Strahm has been working on bullpens and strengthening in Arizona recently, but he's now back in San Diego to work with the big-league staff. The southpaw has been on the injured list since the start of the season as he continues to recover from patellar tendon surgery on his right knee in October, and he remains without a clear timetable for his return.

Lawrence was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

Lawrence was sent to the minors in late May, and he posted a 1.93 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 9.1 innings across nine relief appearances with Triple-A Albuquerque. He hasn't fared as well in the majors this year, as he's posted an 8.44 ERA in 5.1 innings across seven relief appearances. He should serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever after Mychal Givens (back) was placed on the injured list Thursday.

Kelley (elbow) is building back up after being shut down with elbow inflammation in late May, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The highly-rated pitching prospect felt elbow soreness when throwing after his May 22 start, so he was shut down as a precaution. Because of the time off, Kelley will require some time to build up and ready himself for minor-league starts once again.

Webb was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Webb has pitched 16 times at the big-league level this season, struggling to a 5.63 ERA and 1.88 WHIP. Kyle Muller was optioned in a corresponding move.

Burdi was recalled by the White Sox on Thursday.

Burdi has spent most of the year with Triple-A Charlotte and has posted a 5.59 ERA and 1.63 WHIP in 9.2 innings across nine relief appearances. The right-hander has made just one appearance with the major-league club in 2021 but should be available as a low-leverage reliever in the near future after outfielder Adam Eaton (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list.

Santana was traded from the Dodgers to the Rangers on Thursday in exchange for left-hander Kelvin Bautista.

Santana was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Saturday, and he'll now head to Triple-A Round Rock to begin his time with his new organization. The right-hander made 16 relief appearances for Los Angeles to begin the year and posted a 6.00 ERA and 1.93 WHIP in 15 innings.

Yang was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Thursday.

Yang has made four starts and four relief appearances since joining the Rangers on a minor-league deal over the winter. He hasn't particularly impressed, struggling to a 5.59 ERA in 29 innings while combining a 15.0 percent strikeout rate with an 11.8 percent walk rate. Given those numbers and the fact that the rest of the league passed up the chance to give him a major-league contract during the offseason, it's unlikely the 33-year-old gets claimed off waivers.

Cleavinger (forearm) was activated off the injured list Thursday.

Cleavinger has made eight big-league appearances this season, posting a 4.50 ERA and 2.00 WHIP over six innings of relief. He'd been sidelined nearly a month with left forearm inflammation but is now ready to give the Dodgers an additional left-handed option in the bullpen. Luke Raley was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move.
