Adleman signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Friday.

The 33-year-old had a 5.52 ERA over 122.1 innings for the Reds during the 2017 season, and he'll rejoin the organization in 2021. Adleman will report to the alternate training site after spending last season at Detroit's alternate site.

Wilson was optioned to the alternate training site Friday.

Wilson started Thursday against the Cubs and took the loss after giving up four runs over three innings, and he's now surrendered 14 runs across 11 frames on the season. Sean Newcomb (COVID-19 protocols) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move, and Edgar Santana was also promoted for bullpen depth.

Cleavinger won't miss any time after taking a liner to the triceps against the Reds on Wednesday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

Cleavinger was removed from his outing with two outs in the ninth inning Wednesday after a liner struck him in the triceps area, but he didn't suffer a significant injury and won't need to miss any time. The southpaw warmed up in the bullpen late in Thursday's loss to Milwaukee, though he didn't get into the game.

Hader pitched one inning Thursday, allowing one run on two hits with one strikeout to pick up a save in a 2-1 victory over the Dodgers.

It wasn't the cleanest appearance, as Hader allowed a leadoff single to Chris Taylor, who eventually came around on a subsequent Austin Barnes single to cut the deficit to one, but he was able to induce a Mookie Betts flyout to earn the save. Hader has now collected a save in five straight appearances.

Wilson (1-2) was charged with the loss Thursday against the Cubs after surrendering four runs on seven hits and a pair of walks while striking out one batter across three innings.

As expected, Wilson covered a few innings as Atlanta's pseudo-opener. The 23-year-old got off to a rocky start, ending Chicago's 20-inning scoreless streak by giving up an RBI single to Kris Bryant in the first inning and then balking a run in. Trouble struck again with another pair of runs in his third and final frame of the night. On the season, Wilson has compiled a 6.75 ERA and 1.92 WHIP across 12 innings.

Alzolay (1-2) earned the win Thursday after holding Atlanta to two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out six across six innings.

Making his first career start against Atlanta, Alzolay turned in an impressive performance. The only damage against him came from an RBI single by Austin Riley in the fourth inning and a solo home run by Marcell Ozuna in the sixth. Otherwise, the 26-year-old looked strong in his longest outing of the season, throwing 62 of 94 pitches for strikes. Alzolay projects to take the mound next at home Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Lawrence was recalled by the Rockies on Thursday.

Lawrence was recalled in a corresponding move to Yency Almonte (hand) being placed on the 10-day injured list. Assuming he appears in a game, Lawrence will be set for his big-league debut. He last pitched in official game action in 2019 at Triple-A, where he posted an 8.71 ERA and 2.08 WHIP across 10.1 innings.

Almonte was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hand contusion Thursday.

Almonte has contributed 8.2 innings out of the Rockies' bullpen this season, struggling to the tune of a 12.46 ERA and 2.31 WHIP in that span. Justin Lawrence was recalled in a corresponding move.

Uceta was recalled by the Dodgers on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

The Dodgers placed Brusdar Graterol (forearm) on the 10-day injured list, with Uceta's promotion being the corresponding move. He'll provide needed depth in the team's bullpen, which is already missing Joe Kelly (shoulder), Corey Knebel (lat) and David Price (hamstring), among others.

Graterol was placed on the 10-day injured list with right forearm tightness Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Graterol has been used sparingly after a delayed start to the season, as he's thrown only 1.1 innings across three appearances. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, though he last pitched April 26. The nature of the injury is cause for some concern, but no timeline for his absence has been disclosed.
