The Dodgers optioned Gervase to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander has been up with the Dodgers for the past couple weeks but made just one relief appearance. Across his two stints in the majors this season, Gervase has given up one earned run on five hits with a 5:2 K:BB over five innings.

The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for Ryan Borucki, whom the Giants designated for assignment. Beck made two scoreless relief appearances in the majors earlier this month but has spent most of the season at Sacramento, where he's turned in a 3.91 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across 23 innings. He'll handle a low-leverage role while he's up with San Francisco.

The Royals optioned Cerantola to Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

Cerantola was called up Friday and will return to Omaha after allowing one run over one inning during his lone appearance. The 26-year-old has posted a 1.37 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB across 19.2 frames at Triple-A this year while serving as the Storm Chasers' primary closer.

The Royals reinstated Strahm (knee) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

The left-hander has been sidelined the past couple weeks due to knee inflammation, but he received an injection to address the injury and is now ready to rejoin the active roster. Strahm has a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB across 16.1 innings while recording eight holds through 17 appearances this year.

The Brewers transferred Zerpa (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

This transaction has been inevitable since it was announced in early May that Zerpa required UCL reconstruction on his left elbow. The 26-year-old is expected to be sidelined until around the All-Star break in 2027.

The Pirates recalled Sanders from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

The right-hander will rejoin the Pirates for Sunday's series finale versus the Twins as Carmen Mlodzinski (personal) heads to the restricted list in a corresponding move. Sanders has made five appearances for Pittsburgh this season and has given up six earned runs with a 7:5 K:BB across five innings.

King is slated to serve as the Marlins' opener for Sunday's game against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Janson Junk had been set to start Sunday but was a late scratch before being placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right shin injury. King will make his first MLB start in what will be a bullpen day for Miami. The southpaw hasn't recorded more than four outs or thrown more than 20 pitches in any appearance this season, so he shouldn't be expected to work more than an inning or two.

The Twins recalled Adams from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

The right-hander was optioned to St. Paul after Thursday's loss to the White Sox but will quickly return to the big-league roster with Bailey Ober (elbow) headed to the injured list. Adams has struggled in seven MLB appearances this year, posting a 7.20 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB over 10 innings.

The Twins optioned Klein to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

The right-hander was called up Saturday and will return to St. Paul after firing two scoreless frames against Pittsburgh. Across two stints in the majors this year, Klein has given up two earned runs with 2:4 K:BB in three appearances (4.1 innings).

The Brewers optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

The 24-year-old spent the past week in the majors but will return to Triple-A after making two appearances and giving up three runs on five hits and a 3:4 K:BB over 5.1 innings. Rodriguez could return to the rotation at Nashville, where he has an 8.03 ERA through eight appearances (five starts) this year.
