The Mariners optioned Saucedo to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

The left-hander was called up by Seattle on Saturday and will return to Tacoma after firing a scoreless inning during a 14-0 victory. Saucedo has given up four earned runs in his four major-league outings this year and is unlikely to fill more than a middle-relief role if he receives another look with the Mariners.

The Padres transferred Hoeing (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

The move makes room on the Padres' 40-man roster for David Morgan, whose contract was selected from Double-A San Antonio in a corresponding move. Hoeing started the season on the 15-day IL due to a right shoulder strain that he had been dealing with throughout camp. He's in the midst of a throwing program, and his move to the 60-day IL means he won't be eligible to return until late May.

The Padres placed Gillaspie on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left oblique strain.

Gillaspie appeared to suffer the injury during the seventh inning of Saturday's loss to the Rays, and he will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. In corresponding moves, David Morgan's contract was selected from Double-A San Antonio and Bryan Hoeing (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL.

The Rangers optioned Garabito to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

The right-hander was called up by Texas on Thursday but will return to Triple-A without making an appearance in the majors. Garabito gave up eight earned runs over eight innings during his previous stint with the Rangers this year.

The Padres selected Morgan's contract from Double-A San Antonio on Sunday.

Morgan will make the jump to the majors straight from Double-A, where he has posted a 3.12 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 8.2 innings while striking out 19 batters. He'll serve out of the Padres' bullpen after Logan Gillaspie (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks designated Feyereisen for assignment Sunday.

Feyereisen was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday after giving up three runs (two earned) on two hits while striking out one batter in one inning against the Rays on Thursday. If he's not claimed off waivers, the veteran right-hander will have the option of staying in Arizona's organization or exploring his options in free agency. The move corresponds with the Diamondbacks selecting Scott McGough's contract from Reno.

The Astros activated Ort (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Sunday, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

The right-hander will take the roster spot of Forrest Whitley, who was placed on the IL due to a knee sprain. Ort has been sidelined since the start of spring training but is ready to join the Astros after allowing two earned runs with a 5:5 K:BB in seven minor-league rehab appearances.

Whitley was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a left knee sprain, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

The right-hander was activated from the injured list last weekend after missing the first few weeks of the season with a bone bruise in the same knee, but he felt something was off while playing catch Saturday and is now back on the shelf after making just one appearance. A return timeline could come into focus Monday once Whitley is further evaluated.

The Diamondbacks optioned Diaz to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

Diaz was called up from Triple-A on Friday and made his 2025 debut against Atlanta, but he was roughed up for three runs on four hits and three walks over three innings while striking out one batter. Arizona selected Scott McGough's contract from Reno in a corresponding move.

The Diamondbacks selected McGough's contract from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

McGough signed a minor-league contract with the Diamondbacks in February after Arizona declined his $4 million team option for 2025 in November. He's appeared in eight games at Triple-A, posting a 4.82 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB across 9.1 innings. The move corresponds with Yilber Diaz being optioned to Reno and J.P. Feyereisen being designated for assignment.
