Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Loasiga (elbow) will likely remain on his rehab assignment through May 18, Max Goodman of NJ.com reports.

Loaisiga was moved up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday to continue his rehab assignment, and Boone is "really excited" with where the reliever is at in his recovery from the internal brace procedure he underwent last April. However, given how little the 30-year-old has pitched the last couple seasons, the Yankees want to proceed slowly with him. Loaisiga allowed one run with a 7:0 K:BB over 3.1 innings during three rehab appearances with Single-A Tampa. He's looking at an activation from the 15-day injured list May 20 if all continues to go well.

Clase gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his eighth save of the season in an 8-6 win over the Nationals.

After some early-season struggles, Clase appears to be regaining his usual form. The right-hander has converted four straight save chances, and he's given up just one earned run over his last six appearances with a 7:0 K:BB. He still has some work to do to dig out from the statistical hole he dug, however -- through 16.1 innings on the season, Clase carries a 5.51 ERA and 1.71 WHIP.

The Padres optioned Bergert to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

Berget made a good first impression with four scoreless appearances during his first stint with the big club. He could be back in the majors sooner rather than later but for now will clear out to make room for Sean Reynolds' (foot) return from the 15-day injured list.

The Padres activated Reynolds (foot) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

Reynolds has been shelved since suffering a stress reaction in his right foot during spring training, but he showed he was ready with four scoreless rehab appearances at Triple-A El Paso (albeit, with a 2:4 K:BB in 5.1 innings). The righty reliever struck out 21 over 11 frames during his time with the big club last season and can give manager Mike Shildt another weapon in the bullpen if he's able to throw enough strikes.

The Marlins recalled Gibson from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Gibson tossed 2.1 scoreless relief innings in his major-league debut last month. He will give manager Clayton McCullough another left-handed option in the bullpen.

The Marlins optioned Soriano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Soriano has been knocked around in his 11 appearances out of the Marlins' bullpen, yielding 18 runs (17 earned) across 18.1 innings. Cade Gibson will absorb his roster spot.

The Dodgers optioned Feyereisen to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Feyereisen was with the club for one day and permitted the winning run in the 10th inning of Tuesday's extra-innings loss to the Marlins. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Landon Knack, who was called up from Triple-A to serve as the Dodgers' primary pitcher Wednesday in Miami.

Morejon (1-1) took the loss and was charged with a blown save against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing four runs on three hits and one walk while retiring one batter in relief.

When Morejon entered in the seventh inning, San Diego was clinging to a one-run lead. By the end of the frame, New York racked up 10 runs, four of which were charged to the left-hander. Three of those crossed the plate after Morejon had departed, and the walk he issued was intentional, but it was nonetheless an uncharacteristically poor performance by the reliever given his previous results this season. Entering Tuesday, Morejon owned a 1.56 ERA and had held the opponent scoreless in 15 of his 17 appearances.

Brasier (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Brasier made an appearance March 18 in the Cubs' season-opening series in Japan versus the Dodgers, but he landed on the shelf prior to the team's domestic opener due to a left groin strain. After missing more than a month of action, Brasier is ready to pitch in games again, but he'll likely require a handful of rehab appearances before rejoining the big-league bullpen.

Miller (2-0) blew the save but earned the win in Tuesday's 14-5 extra-innings victory over the Cubs, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two across 1.1 innings.

Miller entered the game with a 5-4 lead and two outs in the ninth, inheriting two runners and giving up a single that tied the game. However, the 27-year-old still picked up his second win of the 2025 campaign after tossing a scoreless 10th, as the Giants' offense followed with a franchise-record nine runs in a single inning. The left-hander hasn't been charged with a run in his last five outings and now owns a 0.73 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB across 12.1 innings in 14 appearances this season.
