Bednar tossed a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Bednar failed to record a strikeout during an appearance for the first time this year during Sunday's outing, but he still picked up his fifth save in his last six appearances. The right-hander has converted all seven of his save chances while posting a 1.00 ERA, 25:3 K:BB and 0.61 WHIP in 18 innings over 15 appearances this season. Chris Stratton has also taken on some ninth-inning duties early in the season, but Bednar appears to be the current favorite for save chances.

Hernandez (2-3) yielded five runs (two earned) on three hits and three walks over four innings Sunday, striking out two and taking the loss against Milwaukee.

Hernandez gave up just one run on a Luis Urias sacrifice fly through four innings. He opened the fifth by allowing back-to-back homers to Jace Peterson and Kolten Wong. He put two more Brewers on base without recording an out and was charged with both runs while Louis Head was on the mound. Hernandez lowered his ERA to 6.15 with a 30:11 K:BB through 33.2 innings. He's currently lined up to face the Braves at home next weekend.

Marte was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Marte was sent down at the beginning of May, but he'll rejoin the Giants after spending two weeks in the minors. The righty should pitch mainly in low-leverage situations after he posted a 7.04 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 7.2 innings over eight relief appearances in the majors to begin the year.

Reyes (shoulder) experienced renewed soreness when throwing this week and has been shut down, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

The 27-year-old resumed throwing in late April after beginning the season on the 60-day injured injured list, but he'll halt his rehab program after the soreness cropped up. Reyes underwent an MRI and is seeking a second opinion, leaving his availability for the rest of the season in question.

Gonzalez (elbow) was moved from the 10-day to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Gonzalez recently underwent left elbow surgery, and he's not expected to be able to return until at least August. With that in mind, his transfer to the 60-day IL doesn't impact his recovery timeline. The designation was one of a series of moves made by the Dodgers on Sunday to make room on the 40-man roster for Michael Grove and Shane Greene, both of whom were recalled from the minors.

Cleavinger was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

The 28-year-old was promoted Friday when Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) was placed on the injured list and will return to the minors after firing a scoreless inning Saturday. Cleavinger has given up one run with a 4:2 K:BB over 2.2 frames in the majors this season.

May (triceps) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

May was shut down from throwing for four weeks after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in the lower portion of his humerus in early May, and he'll now be sidelined until at least early July. The 32-year-old will remain without a clear timeline for his return until he's able to begin a throwing program.

Holderman had his contract selected by the Mets on Sunday.

The 26-year-old had a strong showing during spring training and will now receive his first look in the big leagues with Tylor Megill (biceps) headed to the injured list. Holderman has a 2.92 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB across 12.1 innings for Triple-A Syracuse this season and should fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen for New York.

Kilian is expected to join the Cubs' rotation for good at some point this summer, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney of The Athletic report.

His surface numbers at Triple-A Iowa are excellent, but his 10.1 BB% is a career-worst mark and he only recently started touching the upper-90s with his fastball, which is where that pitch was touching last year in the Arizona Fall League. Kilian has a 1.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and career-best 60.8 GB% through seven starts.

Treinen (shoulder) said Saturday that he hasn't picked up a baseball since going on the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Treinen's last mound appearance came over a month ago, so the fact that he isn't doing any sort of throwing supports the Dodgers' notion that he won't be able to return until sometime after the All-Star break. Per Ardaya, the right-hander isn't experiencing discomfort in day-to-day activities, and he believes the injury will "work itself out." Daniel Hudson has worked as the primary bridge to closer Craig Kimbrel while Treinen has been out.
