Garcia (shoulder) has resumed playing catch, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reported Friday.

Garcia received a cortisone shot in his right shoulder May 26, and after a brief shutdown, he's started playing catch. Garcia is recovering from a shoulder impingement and logged a 3.15 ERA with a 24:10 K:BB over 20 innings prior to suffering the injury.

The Dodgers designated Loutos for assignment Friday, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Loutos has given up five earned runs in three major-league innings this season, and he'll now end up as the roster casualty necessary to make room for Chris Stratton. Despite his big-league struggles, Loutos owns a 2.41 ERA across 18.2 total innings in Triple-A, so there could be a few other clubs out there willing to add the 26-year-old to their 40-man.

Weaver received a PRP injection in his left hamstring and has resumed a throwing program, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Weaver was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday and was given a 4-to-6 week return timeline. However, he's already back to throwing and received a PRP injection, which is encouraging for his recovery.

The Guardians transferred Walters (lat) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Walters initially landed on the injured list Saturday due to a significant right lat strain, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until at least late July. While he recovers, the Guardians will strip him of his 40-man roster spot and give it to Dom Nunez, who was selected from Triple-A on Friday.

The Diamondbacks optioned Henry to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Henry was called up Tuesday and appeared in one game during his brief MLB stint, allowing three runs with seven Ks over four innings Thursday. He'll yield his spot on the active roster to Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder), who'll rejoin the rotation after an IL stint.

The Rockies reinstated Agnos (personal) from the bereavement list Friday.

Agnos has rejoined the team ahead of its three-game homestand against the Mets after going on the bereavement list earlier this week. The closer has logged a 1.50 ERA and 0.83 WHIP in 18 innings this season.

Atlanta placed Hernandez on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to June 5, with right forearm inflammation.

Hernandez exited Wednesday's game due to numbness in his right pinky, but he's been added to the injured list with a forearm injury. Hernandez has been a dependable option out of the bullpen this season, posting a 2.22 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 24.1 innings. Dylan Dodd was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Atlanta recalled Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Dodd has bounced back and forth between the majors and Triple-A, and he'll join the big-league bullpen Friday. Dodd hasn't allowed a run in 1.2 innings with Atlanta this season, but he owns a 5.40 ERA across 18.1 innings with Gwinnett.

Rolison will open Friday's game against the Mets, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Rolison will make his first big-league start Friday, but he'll likely only pitch an inning or two before handing the ball off to Antonio Senzatela. In seven appearances this season, Rolison has a 4.50 ERA spanning 10 innings.

Atlanta selected Kimbrel's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Kimbrel is set for his 2025 MLB debut, joining Atlanta's bullpen after logging a 2.45 ERA in 14.2 innings with Gwinnett this season. His role within the bullpen is unclear, but the 37-year-old will look to reclaim his previous form after logging a 5.33 ERA in 2024 with Baltimore.
