The Diamondbacks transferred Santana (thigh) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

The transaction frees up space on the 40-man roster for first baseman/designated hitter Pavin Smith (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day IL. Santana was pulled off his rehab assignment in mid-May after suffering a setback with his right adductor strain and remains without a timeline for a return.

The Giants designated Porter for assignment Monday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Porter has appeared in five major-league games for the Giants this season but has spent most of 2026 in Triple-A, where he is slashing .241/.292/.362 with one home run and 10 RBI across 65 plate appearances. With Porter DFA'd and Joel Peguero (hamstring) placed on the 60-day injured list, both transactions opened up spots on the 40-man roster for Wilkin Ramos and Buddy Kennedy.

The Giants optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A following Sunday's game against the Rockies, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Rodriguez has provided depth at catcher and in the outfield since being recalled from Sacramento in early May, and in 14 major-league games, he went 9-for-39 (.231 average) with one steal, two home runs and seven RBI. Since his opportunities had dried up a bit with San Francisco of late, Rodriguez will head back to Triple-A in order to see steadier playing time.

The Giants placed Peguero on the 60-day injured list Monday due to a left hamstring strain, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Peguero strained his left hamstring during the eighth inning of Sunday's win over the Rockies. The injury is severe enough for Peguero to go straight onto the 60-day IL, which means the earliest he's eligible to be reinstated is July 31. Wilkin Ramos was called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move.

The Giants selected Kennedy's contract from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Kennedy has had a dynamite season with Sacramento, slashing .321/.424/.543 with eight home runs, five steals and a 27:27 BB:K over 48 games. The 27-year-old is likely slated for a reserve infielder role in San Francisco.

Lockridge (knee) will attempt to run at 85-to-90 percent intensity Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

If he bounces back well from that, Lockridge will be one of the hitters against Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) in a simulated game Wednesday. Lockridge has been shelved since early May with a deep laceration in his right knee and will likely require a rehab assignment before rejoining the active roster.

Woodruff (shoulder) will throw a three-up live batting practice session Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

He's expected to throw around 60 pitches in the outing. He could be cleared to rejoin the Brewers' rotation after that, though it's also possible they'll ask him to make a rehab start. Woodruff has been sidelined since late April because of right shoulder inflammation.

Marlins manager Clayton McCollough confirmed that Gusto will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville and pitch in Tuesday's game versus the Nationals, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.

Gusto will likely either make a traditional start or serve in a bulk relief role against the Nationals. The Marlins could need Gusto for multiple starts as they navigate the losses of Eury Perez (hamstring) and Janson Junk (shin). Gusto has collected a 3.63 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB in 39.2 innings for Jacksonville this season.

Gilbert is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The left-handed-hitting Gilbert had started in center field in the Giants' final two games of their series with the Rockies over the weekend, but he'll hit the bench Monday with southpaw Shane Drohan opening the game for Milwaukee. In Gilbert's stead, Jonah Cox will pick up his first MLB start, and the two could wind up being used as a platoon in center field until Harrison Bader (foot) is ready to return from the injured list.

Susac is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The Giants will hand Susac a night off after he started behind the dish in three of the team's previous four contests. Eric Haase will receive the nod at catcher as the Giants kick off a four-game set in Milwaukee.
