The White Sox placed Gilbert on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left shoulder impingement.

Gilbert retired one of three batters he faced in Tuesday's extra-innings win over Atlanta and finds himself on the IL a day later. Chris Murphy will take over Gilbert's vacated roster spot.

The Mets recalled Pintaro from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Pintaro made two scoreless appearances with the Mets earlier this season and holds a 3.16 ERA and 38:13 K:BB over 31.1 innings with Syracuse. The former starting pitcher is capable of covering multiple innings for the Mets, if needed.

The Giants reinstated Sanmartin (hip) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

A waiver pickup from the Reds back in November, Sanmartin ended up having his Giants debut delayed several months after suffering a significant right hip flexor strain back in spring training. The 30-year-old lefty was cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment in mid-May and compiled a 2.79 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB across 9.2 innings over nine appearances between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Triple-A Sacramento to convince the Giants he was ready to join the big-league bullpen. He's likely to be deployed in middle relief initially.

The Mets optioned Gerber to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Gerber covered two innings in Tuesday's loss to the Cardinals, yielding one run. The Mets are replacing him on the roster with Jonathan Pintaro, who will give the club a fresh bullpen arm.

The Giants optioned Beck to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

The right-hander tossed two innings and 27 pitches in relief during Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals, so he might not have been available for Wednesday's series finale. As a result of his recent usage along with the fact that he had a minor-league option remaining, Beck ended up giving his spot in the bullpen and on the active roster to Reiver Sanmartin (hip), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

Single-A Lake Elsinore reinstated Qin (elbow) from the 7-day injured list Thursday and assigned him to the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

While recovering from Tommy John surgery, Qin missed the entire 2025 season and opened the 2026 campaign on the shelf before being cleared to report to the ACL for a rehab assignment May 7. The 20-year-old lefty is likely to move on to the California League before long, but the Padres elected to keep him in the ACL once his rehab window came to a close earlier this month. Through his first five outings in Arizona, Qin has compiled a 1.15 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 30:3 K:BB in 15.2 innings.

Triple-A Rochester placed Fernandez on its 7-day injured list May 14 due to an unspecified injury.

The 31-year-old reliever made three appearances for the Nationals back in late April but has otherwise spent the entire season at Rochester, with whom he's turned in a 3.27 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB in 11 innings across 13 appearances. Since he hasn't appeared in a game in over a month, Fernandez could require a rehab assignment in the lower minors before returning to the Triple-A bullpen.

Phillips is slated to start Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks in Miami.

After piggybacking Ryan Gusto for 4.2 innings in relief in his most recent appearance last Friday versus the Rays, Phillips will move back into a starting role for his upcoming turn through the rotation. The right-hander has covered at least three frames in each of his last four appearances (two starts), going 0-1 with a 3.31 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB across 16.1 innings during that span.

The Reds optioned McCambley to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

After turning in scoreless showings in his first two major-league appearances, McCambley was touched up for three runs in an inning of work in his last outing Monday in San Diego. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen is being absorbed by Chase Petty.

The Red Sox optioned Gamboa to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

He's clearing out to make space on the roster for Jake Bennett, who will start Wednesday's contest in Tampa Bay. Gamboa made one appearance during his brief stint with the Red Sox, retiring both batters he faced.
