Devenski was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday with a sprained UCL in his right elbow.

The 30-year-old last pitched Thursday against the Marlins and surrendered two runs on four hits over two-thirds of an inning. Devenski will now be sidelined for at least the next two months while on the 60-day IL, though given it's a UCL injury, a longer absence wouldn't be surprising.

Mantiply's contract was selected by the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Mantiply has thrown eight career innings of relief at the big-league level without much success. He's allowed 12 runs on 13 hits while striking out six and walking eight. Chris Devenski (elbow) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Bukauskas was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right elbow flexor strain.

The 24-year-old surrendered two runs on four hits over an inning Friday against the Nationals, and he'll now be sidelined by the elbow strain. Bukauskas is eligible to return May 25, but it's unclear if he's expected to be activated after a minimum stay on the shelf.

Gilbreath was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The 25-year-old has now completed his second stint in the majors this season and has allowed six runs on eight hits with five strikeouts and two walks over 5.1 innings. Gilbreath worked as a starter the last time he was in the minors in 2019, and it's unclear if he'll return to that role or continue working out of the bullpen.

Uceta was recalled by the Dodgers on Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Uceta is already on his third stint with the big-league team so far this season. He appeared once in each of his first two, giving up two runs in 4.1 innings. AJ Pollock (hamstring) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Milner's contract was selected by the Brewers on Saturday.

Milner gives the Brewers an additional lefty in the bullpen, with Eric Lauer heading to the minors to stretch out as a starter in a corresponding move. Milner owns a passable 4.53 ERA in 55.2 career big-league innings, though his combination of an 18.2 percent strikeout rate and an 11.1 percent walk rate is unimpressive.

Webb, who allowed an earned run on two walks over 1.1 innings in a loss to the Padres on Friday, owns a 19.29 ERA over four May appearances.

The left-hander also recorded two strikeouts Friday for his first outing with multiple punchouts this season, but Webb simply can't seem to settle into any sort of groove for an extended period. The veteran offered some hope when he posted four consecutive scoreless appearances over a seven-day period in mid-April, but he's subsequently generated a 16.62 ERA and 3.23 WHIP in the 4.1 innings covering his next six appearances. Webb is still seeing as much work as in past seasons -- his 15 appearances are already just six fewer than the 21 he logged in 2020 -- but manager Mike Shildt could reach his breaking point eventually if the 30-year-old doesn't figure things out soon.

Smith allowed two hits and one unearned run in two innings, striking out three hitters and not factoring into the decision of Saturday's 12-5 loss to the Rays.

The righty proved effective in the opener role, holding the Rays to just a run before the Mets' bullpen allowed the game to get out of hand. Smith has now pitched three innings this season and has yet to yield an earned run. Given Saturday's success, Smith figures to serve as the opener again in the future.

Gonzalez struck out one batter and hit one batter in a scoreless one-third of an inning Friday to pick up a hold against Miami.

Los Angeles jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the second inning, but the Marlins gradually clawed their way back into the contest. They loaded the bases and sent the tying run to the plate in the top of the eighth, prompting Dodgers manager Dave Roberts to turn to Gonzalez. The lefty hit the first batter he faced to force in a run but then struck out Jon Berti to finish the inning. Gonzalez has emerged as one of the team's most trusted late-inning relievers, registering a 1.38 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB across 13 innings. He is tied for the MLB lead with 10 holds.

Hildenberger was designated for assignment by the Mets on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Hildenberger threw 2.1 innings with the Mets earlier this season and surrendered four earned runs. The move creates room on the 40-man roster for Jake Hager.
