The Giants placed Beede (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Sunday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

The transaction is merely procedural, as Beede has already been ruled out for the 2020 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March. His move to the 60-day IL opens up an extra spot on the 40-man roster for the Giants.

Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said Monday that Brigham (biceps) has advanced to throwing off a mound in recent weeks, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Brigham was unable to do any throwing in spring training while contending with a right biceps injury, but MLB's nearly four-month shutdown has provided him with extra time to recover without having to miss games. However, since he hasn't had the opportunity to step in against hitters in live batting practice or simulated games, Brigham will likely enter the Marlins' "summer camp" this week behind his fellow pitchers in the buildup process for the 60-game regular season. He'll still have around three weeks before Opening Day to fully move past the injury, so Brigham has a chance to be ready to go.

The Padres placed Munoz (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Sunday.

The transaction was merely procedural after Munoz required Tommy John surgery back in March. He'll miss the entire 2020 season and could miss a portion of the 2021 campaign while recovering from the procedure.

The Diamondbacks placed Bracho (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Monday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Back in spring training, Bracho had been expected to open the season on the shelf while he continued to recover from the Tommy John surgery he required in March 2019. Even with Opening Day having since been pushed back another four months, Bracho still won't be ready to go after general manager Mike Hazen indicated the right-hander suffered a setback in his recovery while the season was suspended. Bracho's move to the 60-day IL likely means he won't pitch for the Diamondbacks at any point in 2020.

Castano is part of the Marlins' 60-man player pool, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

He is not on the 40-man roster and has never reached the majors. The 25-year-old lefty logged a 3.35 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 73:16 K:BB in 86 innings, primarily as a starter, at Double-A last season.

Boxberger is part of the Marlins' 60-man player pool, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

The veteran reliever was in camp on a minor-league deal, but he was in line to make the club prior to the shutdown, so this comes as no surprise. Brandon Kintzler, Ryne Stanek (back) and Yimi Garcia are better bets to get saves this year, but it wouldn't be that surprising if Boxberger got enough late-inning opportunities to record a couple saves in the condensed season.

Doyle will be added to the Rockies' 60-man roster, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Doyle will join the players at the alternate site at Albuquerque once the season starts, so he is not guaranteed to pitch in the majors this season. The 24-year-old reliever has had success in the lower levels of the minors, but he has yet to pitch at an age-appropriate level.

Vesia is part of the Marlins' 60-man player pool, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.

The 24-year-old southpaw has thrived as a reliever in the minors ever since the Marlins selected him in the 17th round of the 2018 draft. He utilizes a deceptive delivery and a plus changeup to flummox minor-league hitters, but lacks the high-end velocity (sits in low-90s) typically associated with late-inning arms.

Uceta has been invited to the Dodgers' summer camp.

Uceta impressed in his first stop at the Double-A level last season, compiling a 3.21 ERA and 1.30 WHIP along with a 76:33 K:BB over 73 innings. He likely needs more seasoning before facing major-league hitters, however, so he may not make his big-league debut in 2020.

White has been added to the Dodgers' 60-man player pool.

White was added to the team's 40-man roster in November, so it's not surprising to see him claim a spot in summer camp. However, the right-hander struggled in his first experience at the Triple-A level last season, so he's unlikely to see much major-league playing time in 2020.
