The Mariners placed Santos on the 15-day injured list Friday with right knee inflammation.

Santos was sent to Triple-A Tacoma on April 16 but is listed on the major-league injured list. He won't be eligible to return until May 10, and right now it's unclear if his knee will keep him out for more than the 15-day minimum.

The Nationals reinstated Brzykcy (quadriceps) from the 15-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester.

The right-hander was sidelined for the first month of the campaign due to a quadriceps strain, but he won't join the big club upon the completion of his four-game rehab assignment. Brzykcy received his first taste of the majors last season with six relief appearances and gave up nine earned runs over 5.2 innings.

The Diamondbacks optioned Feyereisen to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

The right-hander was called up by Arizona last weekend and gave up two earned runs over two frames in his two appearances. Feyereisen will now return to Reno, but he'll likely receive another look with the Diamondbacks at some point this summer.

The Dodgers claimed Gomez off waivers from the Yankees on Friday.

New York designated the right-hander for assignment earlier in the week, but he'll remain on a 40-man roster after being claimed by Los Angeles. Gomez has a 2.70 ERA across 10 innings this season but hasn't exactly been reliable with a 5:9 K:BB.

Cousins (elbow) is targeting a return in early-to-mid June, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Cousins will throw another bullpen session Friday and is about two weeks away from facing hitters. He'll need a rehab assignment at some point after that. The reliever is recovering from a right elbow flexor strain.

The Royals optioned Sisk to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

The left-hander was called up from Omaha on April 13 and made his first two MLB appearances while up with the Royals, striking out five with two hits and two walks across 2.1 scoreless innings. Sisk had a 1.56 ERA in 59 outings for Omaha last season and is likely to receive another look with the Royals at some point this year.

The Cardinals optioned Fernandez to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Fernandez pitched well in his rookie season in 2024 and came into 2025 as a setup man for the Cardinals, but he's really struggled, allowing 13 runs (11 earned) with a 7:5 K:BB over 8.2 innings. Riley O'Brien is taking his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

The Royals optioned Bowlan to Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

Bowlan was up as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Rockies but didn't make an appearance. He's permitted four runs with a 12:5 K:BB over 12 innings at Omaha this season.

The Tigers recalled Guenther from Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by Bailey Horn, who was optioned to Toledo on Thursday. Guenther got a late start to the season due to lumbar spine inflammation, but he's being summoned after allowing three runs over his first 3.1 innings in the minors.

The Cardinals recalled O'Brien from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

He'll absorb the roster spot vacated by Ryan Fernandez, who was optioned to Memphis. O'Brien has yielded three earned runs while striking out 14 over seven innings with Memphis this season. He'll look to help out a struggling St. Louis bullpen.
