The Brewers designated White for assignment Thursday.

White has bounced around with three different teams this season (Toronto, San Francisco and Milwaukee) and hasn't pitched well at any stop, accumulating a 7.23 ERA and 13:13 K:BB over 23.2 innings. The 29-year-old offers the ability to be used as a starter or reliever, but his lack of minor-league options could limit interest from teams via trade or waivers.

Harvey gave up a hit and struck out three over 1.1 scoreless innings Wednesday to record his 16th hold of the season in a win over Atlanta.

The 29-year-old righty is second in the majors in holds behind the Cardinals' JoJo Romero, who has 18. Harvey has stayed healthy so far in 2024 and produced dominant numbers with a 2.22 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB through 28.1 innings, but he has yet to pick up a save due to Kyle Finnegan also remaining sharp as the Nationals' closer.

The Brewers recalled Herget from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

He'll join the Milwaukee bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Mitch White, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Herget has made two relief appearances for Milwaukee this season, giving up two earned runs over 3.2 innings.

Floro worked a scoreless two-thirds of an inning Wednesday to record his sixth hold of the season in a win over Atlanta.

The veteran right-hander saw a 20-appearance scoreless streak end May 26 against the Mariners, but Floro has overall been a key part of the Nationals' bullpen this season. Through 27 innings, he sports a 1.00 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB, and he's been the team's most reliable reliever behind the high-leverage duo of Kyle Finnegan and Hunter Harvey.

Suarez is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Rays at Camden Yards, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Suarez will get a second straight turn through the rotation after he returned to a starting role Saturday against the White Sox and struck out three over four scoreless innings in a no-decision. Because he had been working out of the bullpen throughout May before slotting back into the rotation last weekend, Suarez was lifted after just 80 pitches, but he should be able to provide the Orioles with more length Friday. Suarez will likely stick around in the rotation until the Orioles get one of John Means (forearm) or Dean Kremer (triceps) back from the 15-day injured list.

Ottavino (1-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Dodgers, coughing up four runs on three hits and a walk in one-third of an inning. He struck out one.

The veteran right-hander melted down in a disastrous eighth inning for the Mets, serving up a solo shot to Will Smith to lead off the frame and watching the two runners he left on base when he exited the mound come around to score. Ottavino has a brutal 9.28 ERA and 2.16 WHIP over 10.2 innings in May, and even with Edwin Diaz (shoulder) now on the IL, his spot in the team's high-leverage mix seems very shaky.

Adams (neck) recorded one out and gave up one hit and one walk in a relief appearance during Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Rays.

Adams was lifted early in his prior appearance Saturday against the Astros due to neck tightness, but the issue wasn't serious enough to warrant a stint on the injured list. The 33-year-old righty owns a 2.55 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB in 17.2 innings out of the Oakland bullpen this season and has collected 12 holds.

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

Hernandez didn't make his season debut for the Royals until last week after recovering from a shoulder injury and has allowed one run with a 1:3 K:BB over 2.2 innings covering four appearances. He'll likely be back with the big club sooner rather than later, but the Royals needed to free up a roster spot for Daniel Lynch, who was called up from Omaha to make a spot start Thursday versus the Twins.

The Royals recalled Lynch from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.

Lynch will make a spot start Thursday in Minnesota in place of Brady Singer (illness), according to Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star. The left-hander has made one start and one relief appearance with the Royals this season, tossing a combined seven shutout frames with a 6:2 K:BB. He's had a more difficult time with Omaha, however, collecting a 4.76 ERA and 34:13 K:BB over 45.1 innings. Unless Singer's illness results in him landing on the injured list, Lynch will likely be sent back down to Omaha after Thursday's start.

Mayza walked one batter in a scoreless sixth inning Wednesday to record his eighth hold of the season in a win over the White Sox.

The southpaw had a bumpy start to the season, but Mayza seems to have steadied his ship in May. He's been scored upon only once in his last seven appearances, posting a 1.69 ERA and 1.31 WHIP over 5.1 innings during that stretch with three holds. The 32-year-old remains the top option in the Toronto bullpen from the left side.
