Trivino will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Padres, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Trivino has been highly effective since joining the Dodgers on May 18, posting a 1.74 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 10.1 innings. He'll now be entrusted with the first inning or two Tuesday, after which Matt Sauer is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

The Yankees paused Cousins' (forearm/pectoral) rehab assignment Tuesday due to an elbow issue, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

The team is still waiting for the results of an MRI that Cousins received Tuesday, but there's a chance he may need to spend some more time on the injured list. The 30-year-old reliever has been on the shelf all year due to a forearm strain followed by a pectoral injury, though he was cleared to begin playing in minor-league games last week.

Diaz was promoted from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Diaz was transferred from Reno to the ACL back on May 26 as the Diamondbacks hoped to get him back on track following a rough start to the season in the Pacific Coast League, where he turned in a 7.50 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 33:31 K:BB in 30 innings over his first eight starts. He made a lone appearance in the ACL on Saturday, giving up two earned runs across two innings but striking out five and walking none. The performance was enough for Diaz to earn a return to Triple-A, though it's unclear whether he'll slot back into Reno's rotation right away.

The Diamondbacks assigned Saalfrank to Triple-A Reno from the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Saalfrank was reinstated from a the ineligible list June 5 after missing a year due to a suspension. He now returns to Triple-A Reno where he made 23 and 18 appearances during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, respectively.

The Dodgers recalled Sauer from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Sauer is expected to take on the bulk of the workload in Tuesday's game in San Diego, whether it be as a traditional starter or bulk reliever. The right-hander has collected a 3.05 ERA and 13:3 K:BB over 20.2 frames at the big-league level in 2025.

The Dodgers designated Urena for assignment Tuesday.

Urena allowed one run over three innings covering two appearances during his brief time in a Dodgers uniform. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Matt Sauer, who has been recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and is expected to start Tuesday's contest in San Diego.

Lange (lat) will throw a live batting practice session Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Lange appears to be nearing a rehab assignment as he recovers from right lat surgery and more recently upper-arm inflammation. The reliever has not pitched in a game in nearly a year, so his rehab assignment will likely be a lengthy one.

Hodge (hip) is scheduled to face Triple-A Iowa hitters in a live batting practice session Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

The Cubs are on the road in Philadelphia, so Hodge will link up with the team's top minor-league affiliate to face hitters. He was given the green light to advance to the next phase of his recovery from a left hip impingement after he completed a 30-pitch bullpen session Saturday. After Tuesday's workout, Hodge could stick around with Iowa to make a rehab appearance or two before returning from the 15-day injured list.

The Brewers recalled Lucas from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

McGee tossed a scoreless inning last month in his lone appearance with the Brewers this season. He will provide manager Pat Murphy with a fresh bullpen arm.

The Brewers optioned Anderson to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

Anderson threw 42 pitches and was tagged for three runs over 1.1 innings in Monday's loss to Atlanta. He's being replaced on the roster and in the bullpen by Easton McGee, who was recalled from Triple-A.
