Suero was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The Astros signed Suero to a minor-league contract in December. The right-hander surrendered seven earned runs in just eight innings at the major-league level with the Dodgers in 2023. In a corresponding move, Oliver Ortega (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL to create a 40-man roster spot for Suero.

Mushinski was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Mushinski is back with the Astros just four days after being optioned to Sugar Land. In two games in the majors this season, the left-hander has allowed four runs (two earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Holderman (illness) could be activated from the injured list Thursday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Holderman rejoined the Pirates at PNC Park on Tuesday as a member of the taxi squad and appears slated for activation when the team heads out on its road trip. The setup man has gotten off to a late start this season because of an illness.

Ryan was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis by the Pirates on Tuesday, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Ryan has permitted four runs over 5.1 relief innings with Pittsburgh this season. The Pirates have not announced a corresponding move, but it could be Colin Holderman (illness) returning from the injured list.

Duran (oblique) is aiming to throw a bullpen session Friday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Duran has been throwing pain-free on flat ground and it sounds like he's almost ready to try things out from the bump. He's early on in his throwing progression and will need a few rehab appearances before being activated, but a return before the end of April would seem to be possible.

The Twins transferred Weiss (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Michael Tonkin. Weiss has been out all season and will now be sidelined until at least late May with a right shoulder strain.

Tonkin was acquired by the Twins from the Mets on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.

The right-hander was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday and will now make his way to the Twin Cities. Tonkin made three appearances for New York this season and allowed two earned runs with a 3:1 K:BB over four innings.

The Brewers transferred Williams (back) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

The move doesn't change Williams' timetable, as he is slated to be out until at least mid-June while recovering from two stress fractures in his back. Kevin Herget will take Williams' spot on the 40-man roster.

Staumont (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Staumont has been out all season after tweaking his left calf late in spring training, but he's ready to test things out in game action. He made seven appearances this spring before getting hurt, so he shouldn't need too many outings before joining the Twins' bullpen.

Thielbar (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

The Twins' bullpen has been hit hard by injuries, but they should get one of their key relievers in Thielbar back soon. He posted a 3.23 ERA, 0.95 ERA and 36:6 K:BB over 30.2 innings for Minnesota last season.
