Hudson is not concerned about any long-term issues with his elbow, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Hudson woke up Thursday morning with some swelling in his right elbow, but he's had two Tommy John surgeries in his past and said this issue didn't feel at all similar. An MRI confirmed Friday that he isn't dealing with anything worse than inflammation. Whether or not he's able to return after the minimum 10 days remains to be seen, but it doesn't sound like Hudson is in line for a long absence.

Trivino (3-2) recorded the victory in a win over the Royals on Friday, firing 1.1 scoreless innings during which he allowed two hits and recorded two strikeouts.

The right-hander was rewarded for his impressive 20-pitch effort with his third victory of the season when Elvis Andrus hit a game-winning single in the ninth inning. Following a forgettable five-earned-run outing over one-third of an inning against the Blue Jays on May 5, Trivino has rattled off 12.2 scoreless innings across 12 appearances, lowering his ERA to a career-low 2.40 and garnering two wins, four saves and a hold in the process.

Megill was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday.

He gave up five earned runs and walked six in five innings over five appearances at Triple-A. Megill should work in low-leverage situations.

Santana was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Saturday.

Santana threw 15 innings of relief for the Dodgers this season without much success, struggling to a 6.00 ERA and an 8:11 K:BB. He's still just 25 years old, which could convince another team to take a chance on him on waivers, but his career 6.42 ERA through 40.2 major-league innings isn't close to good.

Hartlieb was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

He takes the place of Trevor Cahill (calf) in the bullpen. Hartlieb had a 2.70 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and eight strikeouts in 6.2 innings over seven appearances at Triple-A.

Crowe was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

He didn't fare well in 31 innings with the big club earlier this year (7.26 ERA, 1.77 WHIP), and he logged a single clean inning in his lone appearance at Triple-A on June 8. Typically a starter by trade, perhaps the Pirates are transitioning him into a relief role. However, Mitch Keller was optioned Saturday, so there is a vacant spot in the rotation.

White was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

White made five relief appearances during his latest stint with the Dodgers, allowing five runs (four earned) in six innings of work. Andy Burns was called up in a corresponding move.

Saucedo's contract was purchased from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

A big 6-foot-5 southpaw, Saucedo had a 2.29 ERA and 21:2 K:BB in 16.1 innings over 10 appearances at Triple-A. Toronto's bullpen has been decimated by injuries, so if Saucedo can carry over that success against big-league hitters, he could work his way into the later innings.

Santillan was recalled by the Reds on Saturday.

Santillan is expected to start Sunday against the Rockies for his big-league debut. He's gotten off to an excellent start for Triple-A Louisville, recording a 2.51 ERA and 34.4 percent strikeout rate through six starts.

Cabrera (1-2) took the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Cubs on Friday, allowing two earned runs on three hits over one-third of an inning. He struck out one.

Cabrera got himself into immediate trouble upon entering in the seventh, allowing two of the first three hitters to reach safely before yielding a two-run double to Joc Pederson. Friday's stumble is an extension of what has been a clear rough patch for the left-hander, as he's now allowed five runs (four earned) across the 3.2 innings covering his last four appearances.
