Chapman (3-0) pitched a scoreless ninth inning Friday against the White Sox, allowing one walk with zero strikeouts while picking up the win.

He came on during a 1-1 game in the top of the ninth and Gleyber Torres walked it off in the bottom of the ninth, leaving Chapman as the pitcher of record. Chapman has been completely automatic this season, as he has yet to allow a run while striking out 36 in 18 innings.

Puk (biceps) fired a perfect inning in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over Salt Lake on Thursday, recording one strikeout.

The left-hander's third rehab outing saw him get three outs on just nine pitches. Puk has produced scoreless efforts in two of his three appearances for the Aviators and could be deemed ready for activation at some point over the weekend.

Ramirez was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Four members of Seattle's bullpen landed on the COVID-19 injured list in the same flurry of moves. Ramirez had a 6.48 ERA in 8.1 innings at Triple-A.

Mills was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Four Mariners relievers were placed on the COVID-19 injured list, so the team recalled several arms from Triple-A. Mills should pitch in low-leverage spots.

Vest was placed on the injured list due to a potential positive COVID-19 test by a member of the Mariners' pitching staff.

Robert Dugger, Anthony Misiewicz and Drew Steckenrider all landed on the injured list in the same list of roster moves, so the assumption is that one of them tested positive and the others are being held out due to contact tracing. Vest has given up eight earned runs in 8.1 innings this month.

Misiewicz was placed on the injured list Friday due to a potential positive COVID-19 test by a member of the Mariners' pitching staff.

Robert Dugger, Drew Steckenrider and Will Vest were all placed on the injured list in the same flurry of moves, as it sounds like one of those players tested positive and the others are being held out due to contact tracing. Keynan Middleton (biceps) was activated from the IL in a corresponding move.

Kolarek was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

He and Cam Bedrosian will switch places in the transaction. Kolarek gave up three runs in one inning in his most recent appearance against the Astros.

Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen were traded from the Brewers to the Rays on Friday in exchange for Willy Adames and Trevor Richards, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

The Rays have a well-earned reputation for getting the most out of previously unheralded pitchers, so it's possible they see something in Feyereisen, but the 28-year-old hasn't shown much in 28.2 career major-league innings despite posting a 94:31 K:BB through 61.1 IP at Triple-A in 2019. His 4.08 ERA in the bigs is decent enough, but comes with a 5.32 FIP and 5.02 xFIP, as he's combined a merely average 23.7 percent strikeout rate with a poor 14.0 percent walk rate.

Green earned a hold against Texas on Thursday with a perfect inning of work.

Green followed up Domingo German's dominant seven innings with his own spotless frame. He threw eight of 13 pitches for strikes and induced two groundouts along with a popout. Aside from a three-run blowup against Houston on May 6, Green has been dominant this season. The right-hander has posted a 2.01 ERA, 0.72 WHIP, six holds, one save and a 21:3 K:BB across 22.1 innings overall.

Honeywell was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

Honeywell finally got to make his big-league debut this season after battling injuries for the last three years. In his first three MLB appearances, which lasted a total of 4.1 innings including two stints as an opener, he gave up four runs, struck out four and walked three. Louis Head was optioned in a corresponding move.
