Weems was added to the Diamondbacks' 26-man roster prior to Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

Weems was claimed off waivers from Oakland on Monday, and he'll now join Arizona's big-league roster, as expected. The right-hander allowed three earned runs on two hits and four walks across 4.1 major-league innings before being DFA'd by the A's on Saturday.

Finnegan (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

The right-hander threw a simulated game over the weekend, so he'll make his return from the injured list without heading to the minors for a rehab assignment. Finnegan has seven holds with a 3.86 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 36:17 K:BB across 30.1 innings this season.

Cleavinger was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

The southpaw was sent down Monday despite holding a tidy 2.03 ERA across 13.1 big-league innings this season. With Victor Gonzalez (foot) placed on the injured list Tuesday, Cleavinger is set to rejoin the club after just the one day back in the minors.

Gonzalez was placed on the 10-day injured list with left plantar fasciitis Tuesday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Gonzalez had made relief appearances in each of the last two games, and he allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two in 1.2 innings. Per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that he's hopeful it will be a short IL stint for the southpaw, which indicates that he could be activated when the club returns from the All-Star break July 16. Left-hander Garrett Cleavinger was recalled by the Dodgers in a corresponding move.

Webb was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Webb was sent to the minors in late June, and he allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out nine in 4.2 innings across four relief appearances during his most recent stint at Triple-A Gwinnett. The right-hander should reclaim a low-leverage role in Atlanta's bullpen after he posted a 5.29 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 17 innings across 17 relief appearances in the big leagues earlier in the season. Pablo Sandoval was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Gallegos secured his 13th hold in a win over the Giants on Monday, allowing an earned run on a solo home run while recording three strikeouts over one inning.

Gallegos' frame wasn't completely smooth, as he was touched up by Alex Dickerson for a 382-foot round tripper. However, the right-hander turned up the dial on his swing-and-miss stuff, striking out the side to get out of the inning without further damage. While the punchouts were certainly impressive, Gallegos has now allowed five earned runs over the last three appearances, his rockiest stretch of the campaign.

Reed's contract was selected by the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Reed spent parts of the last five seasons at the Triple-A level, but he'll now be available to make his major-league debut after Steven Souza was designated for assignment Tuesday. The right-hander signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers in early June after he was released by the Angels, and he posted a 2.61 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 10.1 innings across nine relief appearances at Triple-A Oklahoma City. He should pitch mainly in low-leverage situations for the Dodgers.

Mets acting general manager Zack Scott said Monday that Yamamoto (shoulder) remains "weeks away" from a return, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Yamamoto isn't believed to have initiated a throwing program since he was placed on the injured list May 25 with right shoulder soreness, so he'll realistically need at least a month to build up before returning. Scott noted that the Mets remain hopeful Yamamoto will make it back from the IL later this season, but the 25-year-old likely won't have a spot in the big-league rotation waiting for him once he gets a clean bill of health.

Diaz gave up a run on two hits and a walk while striking out two in the ninth inning Monday, recording his 18th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Brewers.

The right-hander came out of the bullpen flat as the first three Milwaukee batters reached base against him, but following a mound visit Diaz regained his swagger, fanning Jace Peterson and Keston Hiura before Jackie Bradley flied out to end the game. Diaz has been scored upon in three of his last six appearances, but he hasn't blown a save since June 1. On the season, the 27-year-old closer has a 3.03 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 43:11 K:BB through 32.2 innings.

Suero (1-2) picked up the win Monday over the Padres after throwing a shutout inning of relief and striking out two batters.

Suero struck out Jake Cronenworth and Wil Myers during a seamless sixth inning. The Nationals took the lead thanks to a homer off the bat of Josh Bell in the top of the seventh and held on for the victory, which left Suero with his first win of the year. The 29-year-old owns a 3.70 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB over 24.1 innings.
