The Dodgers transferred May (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

May landed on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a right flexor pronator strain, and his move to the 60-day IL ensures he will be out through the All-Star break. Bobby Miller was selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill May's spot on the active roster.

The Dodgers promoted Miller from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday for his start against Atlanta, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The 24-year-old righty has made four starts for Oklahoma City this season, recording a 5.65 ERA and 1.21 WHIP through 14.1 innings. While his numbers might not exactly jump off the page, he's demonstrated a knack for striking out batters at a plus rate, logging a 10.1 K/9 throughout his Triple-A career. To make room for Miller on the Dodgers' roster, Tyler Cyr (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list, and Dustin May (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day IL.

Cueto (biceps) was transferred Tuesday from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

This is mostly just a procedural move to clear out a 40-man roster spot for outfielder Jonathan Davis, who was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. Cueto is making progress in his recovery from a right biceps injury, but there is no set timetable for his return. He's eligible for activation in early June.

Woodford (shoulder) threw a bullpen session without issue Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Woodford will do a similar workout Friday before likely then heading out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Sidelined since May 5 due to right shoulder inflammation, the 26-year-old projects to return to the Cardinals in a long-relief role sometime in early June.

Hendricks (shoulder) joined the Cubs on Tuesday at Wrigley Field and could soon be activated from the 15-day injured list, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

The Cubs haven't confirmed Hendricks' next step, but his return to Chicago likely signals that he's completed his minor-league rehab assignment and will soon be cleared to make his season debut for the big club. Friday's series opener against the Reds appears to be a good bet for what would be his first MLB outing since he strained his shoulder last July. The veteran right-hander tossed 82 pitches over six innings of one-run ball Saturday in his fifth rehab appearance for Triple-A Iowa.

Senga's next start has been pushed from Tuesday to Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The idea here is to prevent Senga from having to pitch on normal rest Sunday at Coors Field. He's been getting extra rest between every start this season as he acclimates from the scheduling norms over in Nippon Professional Baseball. There are no injury concerns with the 30-year-old righty, who racked up a career-high 12 strikeouts across six innings of one-run ball last week against the Rays. He'll face the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, with Tylor Megill getting the call Tuesday. Senga will then handle the Mets' series opener next week versus the Phillies.

Megill will start for the Mets instead of Kodai Senga on Tuesday against the Cubs, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

This will allow Senga to get a bit of extra rest and skip the Mets' upcoming weekend series at Coors Field. Senga will handle Wednesday's game at Wrigley Field and then next Tuesday's series opener at home against the division-rival Phillies.

Teheran signed a one-year contract Tuesday with the Brewers, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Teheran was able to score a guaranteed major-league deal after opting out of his minor-league contract with the Padres on Monday. He had an underwhelming 5.63 ERA and 1.68 WHIP through eight starts this season at Triple-A El Paso, but the Brewers are desperate for healthy arms capable of eating innings and the 32-year-old right-hander might get an immediate opportunity to work out of Milwaukee's rotation.

Williamson did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four runs on four hits and four walks over 4.1 innings during a 6-5 win over St. Louis in 10 innings. He struck out three.

Williamson was spotted an early 2-0 lead, but that was squandered after he allowed a go-ahead three-run homer to Paul DeJong. The Reds answered back with a two-run blast of their own, and that score held until Williamson surrendered a game-tying RBI double to Lars Nootbaar in the fifth. The young pitcher didn't look as sharp as he did during his MLB debut last week, but he figures to remain in the rotation for a while, as Nick Lodolo is expected to miss extended time while dealing with a stress reaction in his left tibia.

Montgomery did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks over four frames during a 6-5 loss to Cincinnati in 10 innings. He struck out four.

Montgomery allowed two runs in the first on RBI knocks from Matt McLain and Tyler Stephenson, and after St. Louis took the lead on a three-run homer by Paul DeJong, the left-hander served up a go-ahead two-run homer to Spencer Steer in the third. After allowing just one run over his final two starts of April (12.2 innings), Montgomery has given up multiple runs in each of his first four May outings. During that stretch, he's posted a 6.64 ERA and a 1.77 WHIP with a 20:8 K:BB across 20.1 innings.
