The Dodgers recalled Feyereisen from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Feyereisen was scooped up off waivers last week and will now provide a fresh arm in the Dodgers' bullpen. The right-hander made 10 appearances for the Dodgers last season, holding an 8.18 ERA and 9:5 K:BB over 11 innings.

The Dodgers designated Gomez for assignment Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Gomez was claimed off waivers in late April and had been torched for seven runs over his last two appearances. His spot on the 26-man roster will be filled by J.P. Feyereisen.

The Nationals recalled Brzykcy from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Brzykcy will serve as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians. The 25-year-old began the season on the 15-day injured list with a quad strain, but he's healthy now and has yielded just two runs with a 14:3 K:BB over 7.2 innings in the minors in 2025.

The Rays recalled Sulser from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

He'll absorb the roster spot vacated by Hunter Bigge (lat), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday. Sulser was roughed up for two runs on four hits and one walk over one inning in his lone appearance with the Rays earlier this season.

The Rays placed Bigge on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lat strain, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

It's unclear when the injury occurred, but Bigge hadn't pitched since Thursday. He'll be eligible to return from the IL on May 18, but it's an injury type that typically results in longer than a 15-day absence. Cole Sulser was called up from Triple-A Durham to take Bigge's spot on the 26-man active roster.

Bergert (1-0) earned the win over the Yankees on Monday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.

Bergert entered in the seventh inning with the Padres down three runs and set the side down in order on 14 pitches (nine of which were strikes). While that at first seemed like a strong but ho-hum low-leverage outing, it turned into Bergert's first MLB win as a result of the Padres plating four runs in the top of the eighth. Bergert has been impressive since being called up from Triple-A El Paso on March 25, tossing three scoreless frames during which he's given up just one hit and posted a 2:0 K:BB.

Weaver (0-1) took the loss and blew a save opportunity against San Diego on Monday, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over one-third of an inning.

New York led 4-0 heading into the eighth inning, and manager Aaron Boone called upon demoted former closer Devin Williams to maintain the lead. Williams struggled, getting two strikeouts but allowing the Padres to load the bases. Weaver was then summoned to try to escape the jam but couldn't do so -- the first two batters he faced each got a hit, pushing four runs across the plate, though three of those were charged to Williams. Weaver then walked a batter before finally getting the out he needed to end the frame, but his poor outing allowed San Diego to take the lead and resulted in his first blown save of the campaign. The run charged to Weaver was also the first he has allowed this season, and given his overall excellence and Williams' continued struggles, it's likely Weaver will continue to work as the Yankees' closer, at least in the short term.

Effross (hamstring) has been sent to the Yankees' Florida Complex League affiliate to begin a rehab assignment.

Effross has been out since late February with a Grade 2 hamstring strain but is finally ready to test things out in a game setting. The reliever should be ready to rejoin the Yankees' bullpen later this month, barring any setbacks.

Urena will be the Blue Jays' starting pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Angels, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Urena was officially signed to a major-league contract Monday and will go directly into the Blue Jays' rotation, at least for one turn. The right-hander was roughed up for five runs over three innings in a long-relief appearance for the Mets last month but had a solid 2024 season with the Rangers as a swingman, collecting a 3.80 ERA and 70:39 K:BB over 109 frames.

The Cardinals plan to keep Graceffo in the majors as a reliever rather than return him to the Triple-A Memphis rotation, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Graceffo was recalled Monday and tossed a scoreless inning in a victory over the Pirates, picking up his second win in as many appearances. The righty went five innings of relief last week against the Reds, but manager Oliver Marmol said Monday that it would be "ideal" to deploy Graceffo in shorter stints moving forward as he settles into a relief role. Graceffo's stuff has played up in relief, most notably in his outing versus the Reds when his fastball peaked at 98.9 mph and slider reached 93 mph. It's not clear whether this is a permanent role switch for Graceffo or a trial run in the bullpen.
