The Dodgers selected Scott's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Scott had posted a 1.08 ERA and 20:10 K:BB over 16.2 innings with Oklahoma City. He'll give the Dodgers a fresh arm in the bullpen.

Suero was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Monday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Suero was roughed up for three runs in a two-inning appearance Sunday, so the Dodgers will replace him with a fresh arm. He'll now go through the waiver process.

Lamet (back) could be used as a starter when he returns from the injured list, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Lamet hasn't started a major-league game since 2021 and hasn't been a full-time starter since 2020. He seems ill-suited for the role at this point, but the Rockies' rotation has been hit hard by injuries so it appears they might be willing to give it a shot. Lamet has made two rehab starts with Triple-A Albuquerque but figures to require multiple more to get stretched out if Colorado does indeed bring him back as a starter.

Alvarado (elbow) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday if Monday's flat-ground session goes well, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

He'll need an addition bullpen session after that before progressing to facing hitters and eventually going out on a rehab assignment. It's not clear at this point how many rehab appearances Alvarado might require. He's trending in the right direction, but the fireballing reliever still has a ways to go.

Varland cleared waivers and has been returned to the Dodgers.

The Rule 5 pick was designated for assignment by the Brewers following a hideous performance last week and now is back in his previous organization. Varland was previously used as both a starter and reliever during his time with the Dodgers and it's unclear what role they might stick him in now, but he'll likely report to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Miller was recalled from Triple-A Nashville by the Brewers on Monday.

Miller has been sharp in his chances with the big club this season, allowing one run over 4.2 innings. He figures to slide into a middle relief role.

Moreta (1-1) took the loss Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed an unearned run on a hit while striking out one over one-third of an inning.

Moreta replaced Roansy Contreras to start the sixth inning, striking out Corbin Carroll before Christian Walker reached on a Ke'Bryan Hayes throwing error. Walker would score on Lourdes Gurriel's base hit, giving Arizona a 4-3 lead and eventually handing Moreta his first loss. Overall, the 27-year-old Moreta has been excellent for Pittsburgh. He still hasn't allowed an earned run since April 26, a span of 10.2 innings. He sports a 2.14 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 31:12 K:BB across 21 innings this season.

Strahm (4-3) earned the win Sunday against the Cubs. He allowed a walk while striking out two in a scoreless inning.

It's Strahm's second win since he was moved to the bullpen. The 31-year-old southpaw lowered his ERA to 2.73 with an impressive 0.97 WHIP and 47:10 K:BB through 33 innings. Strahm has earned a high-leverage role with the Phillies, though he's still behind Craig Kimbrel and Gregory Soto in the save hierarchy while Jose Alvarado (elbow) is sidelined.

Brebbia is scheduled to serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Monday's game at Minnesota, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Manager Gabe Kapler hasn't formally named a bulk reliever to work behind Brebbia, but based on recent usage, Sean Manaea and Tristan Beck appear to be the most logical options to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen, if needed. Brebbia hasn't recorded more than five outs in any of his 21 appearances on the season and likely won't be tasked with working more than once through the batting order, if that.

Ginkel allowed one walk and struck out one over a scoreless two innings in Sunday's 8-3 win over Pittsburgh.

Ginkel closed out the game, pitching the eighth and ninth innings. It was the third consecutive multi-inning appearance for Ginkel, who enters games any time between the fifth and ninth innings. The right-hander, who was rocked by the Dodgers on April 1, has a 1.93 ERA over 18.2 innings since.
