Abbot was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

The right-hander will rejoin the big-league club after spending the past couple weeks in the minors. He's worked out of the bullpen for the Cubs this season with four runs allowed over 8.1 frames in four appearances, but he's operated as a starter at Triple-A. Abbott and Trevor Williams should be in the mix for a spot start Sunday with Jake Arrieta (hamstring) landing on the injured list.

Manager Dave Roberts said White will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

White has bounced back in forth between the majors and Oklahoma City since being first recalled in late April. The right-hander currently holds a 3.77 ERA through 14.1 big-league innings, and he should have a decent chance of appearing in the Dodgers' bullpen game Wednesday.

Reed will start Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Reed made his major-league debut as a reliever in Tuesday's game against Miami and allowed an unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning. It's not yet clear how long he'll be able to last Wednesday, as the Dodgers plan to treat the contest as a bullpen game.

Alexander allowed two hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning against Miami on Tuesday but did not give up any runs.

The left-hander came on in the ninth inning of a tie game and allowed a single and a walk to the first two batters he faced. After striking out Joe Panik, Alexander allowed an infield single that loaded the bases. He then picked up another strikeout -- this time getting Jazz Chisholm swinging -- before giving way to Blake Treinen, who ended the frame by inducing a groundout. In two appearances since coming off the injured list Monday, Alexander has pitched 1.2 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out three.

Hjelle (leg) was activated from the 7-day minor-league injured list and pitched four shutout innings versus Double-A Binghamton on Sunday. He allowed just two hits and struck out four.

The right-hander missed a little over two weeks with the leg injury. Hjelle has done well at Richmond this season with a 3.11 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 46:10 K:BB across 37.2 innings.

Weathers (4-2) got the win Tuesday over the Nationals despite allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out two over 5.1 innings.

Weathers was fortunate to come away with a win after a shaky performance. He allowed seven hits but all four runs he gave up came via the long ball after Josh Harrison cranked a three-run blast and Juan Soto had a solo shot. At just 21 years old, Weathers has held his own against big-league hitters this season with a 3.02 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 41:17 K:BB over 56.2 innings. He's expected to take the mound one more time at home against the Rockies over the weekend before the All-Star break gets underway.

Melancon fired a perfect ninth inning Tuesday against the Nationals to protect a three-run lead and record his 26th save of the year.

Melancon sent the Nationals' hitters down on just eight pitches, getting each one of them out on weak contact. It was a great bounceback performance from the 36-year-old after he was shelled for two runs in a blown save against the Reds his last time out. He owns a 2.21 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 30:15 K:BB over 36.2 innings and has converted 26 of his 30 save chances so far this season.

Treinen (2-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Marlins after allowing one run (unearned) with no hits or walks while striking out one.

Treinen finished the final out of the ninth inning during a 1-1 tie and re-entered in the 10th. Unfortunately a wild pitch allowed the extra-inning baserunner, Starling Marte, to eventually score after a throwing error by catcher Will Smith at third base. It was a messy ending to the game during an otherwise strong outing by Treinen. The right-hander has pitched well in the setup role this season, compiling a 2.86 ERA and 1.13 WHIP while finding himself in a three-way tie for the most holds in the league with 17 overall.

Reed recorded two outs against the Marlins on Tuesday, allowing one run (unearned) on two hits and a walk with one strikeout.

Reed entered the sixth inning to record the final two outs for starter Tony Gonsolin. It wasn't the cleanest outing, but the right-hander managed to get the job somewhat done in what became a 1-1 score due to a fielding error by Gavin Lux. Reed, whose contract was selected by the Dodgers ahead of Tuesday's game, recorded a 2.61 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 10.1 innings across nine relief appearances at Triple-A Oklahoma City. He's expected to mostly work in low-leverage situations for the Dodgers.

The Giants reinstated Beede (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Working his way back from Tommy John surgery, Beede began his minor-league rehab May 6, totaling 12 appearances with a 6.56 ERA and 40:32 K:BB across 35.2 innings. Per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, Beede will be available out of the bullpen starting Tuesday, but he could be an option to start Friday against Washington, depending on how the San Francisco pitching staff stands after the next couple games.
