The Marlins optioned Soriano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Soriano has been knocked around in his 11 appearances out of the Marlins' bullpen, yielding 18 runs (17 earned) across 18.1 innings. Cade Gibson will absorb his roster spot.

The Dodgers optioned Feyereisen to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Feyereisen was with the club for one day and permitted the winning run in the 10th inning of Tuesday's extra-innings loss to the Marlins. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Landon Knack, who was called up from Triple-A to serve as the Dodgers' primary pitcher Wednesday in Miami.

Morejon (1-1) took the loss and was charged with a blown save against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing four runs on three hits and one walk while retiring one batter in relief.

When Morejon entered in the seventh inning, San Diego was clinging to a one-run lead. By the end of the frame, New York racked up 10 runs, four of which were charged to the left-hander. Three of those crossed the plate after Morejon had departed, and the walk he issued was intentional, but it was nonetheless an uncharacteristically poor performance by the reliever given his previous results this season. Entering Tuesday, Morejon owned a 1.56 ERA and had held the opponent scoreless in 15 of his 17 appearances.

Brasier (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Brasier made an appearance March 18 in the Cubs' season-opening series in Japan versus the Dodgers, but he landed on the shelf prior to the team's domestic opener due to a left groin strain. After missing more than a month of action, Brasier is ready to pitch in games again, but he'll likely require a handful of rehab appearances before rejoining the big-league bullpen.

Miller (2-0) blew the save but earned the win in Tuesday's 14-5 extra-innings victory over the Cubs, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two across 1.1 innings.

Miller entered the game with a 5-4 lead and two outs in the ninth, inheriting two runners and giving up a single that tied the game. However, the 27-year-old still picked up his second win of the 2025 campaign after tossing a scoreless 10th, as the Giants' offense followed with a franchise-record nine runs in a single inning. The left-hander hasn't been charged with a run in his last five outings and now owns a 0.73 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB across 12.1 innings in 14 appearances this season.

Garcia was charged with a blown save Tuesday against the Marlins, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out one batter over one inning.

Garcia entered in the bottom of the sixth inning with the Dodgers up one run, but by the end of the frame Miami had retaken the lead. The right-hander was hit pretty hard in the inning, as the Marlins managed two doubles and a single against him. Garcia pitched poorly at the beginning of the season but had been showing improvement prior to Tuesday, as he hadn't allowed a run over his previous eight innings spanning nine appearances. He's worked as a lower-leverage option for Los Angeles in his first campaign with the club.

Dunshee signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Tuesday.

Dunshee reached the majors for the first time in 2024, making one long-relief appearance for Atlanta in August before being quickly cast off the 40-man roster. After electing free agency in November, Dunshee caught on with Mexican League club Toros de Tijuana, but he was released last week so that he could pursue opportunities in affiliated ball. The 30-year-old righty ultimately caught on with the Nationals and will serve as organization pitching depth at the Triple-A level.

Booser (0-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and one walk while recording only one out to blow the save and take the loss Tuesday against the Royals.

Booser was brought in to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and suffered from a combination of poor pitching and bad luck. He walked the leadoff man, but Chase Meidroth had a pop fly bounce off his head one batter later. A subsequent pair of singles -- one of which didn't leave the infield -- gave the Royals the walk-off win. Booser started the season decently but has allowed six earned runs across his last 4.1 innings of work and doesn't look likely to continue to see save chances.

Leasure retired the only batter he faced in the eighth inning to earn a hold Tuesday against the Royals.

Leasure entered the game with the tying run at second base in the eighth inning and retired the only batter he faced on three pitches to escape the jam. He was surprisingly not brought back out for the ninth inning despite the light workload, with Cam Booser instead blowing a save chance and taking the loss. This usage suggests that Leasure is the White Sox's preferred highest-leverage reliever -- rather than designated closer -- though it's difficult to speculate on the closer role given that the team has only one save for the season.

The Guardians optioned Kent to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

As expected, Kent was sent back to Columbus after he was called up Tuesday to serve as the 27th man in the Guardians' doubleheader versus the Nationals. Kent tossed a scoreless ninth inning in the Guardians' 9-1 win in Game 2, giving up one hit while striking out a batter.
