Minnesota optioned Headrick to Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Jorge Lopez (mental health) has been activated off the injured list in a corresponding roster move. Headrick, 25, holds a 5.40 ERA and 18:7 K:BB in 15 innings of relief this year at the big-league level.

King was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

King holds an ugly 6.61 ERA over 13 relief appearances for the Rangers this season. He'll provide manager Bruce Bochy with another left-hander in the bullpen.

Soriano was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Soriano will replace Andrew Nardi (triceps) in the Marlins' bullpen ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cardinals. Soriano, 24, has registered a 1.98 ERA and 9:5 K:BB in 13.2 major-league innings this year.

Nardi was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left triceps inflammation, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

This is a fairly significant blow to the Marlins, as Nardi has been a workhorse in the bullpen this year while delivering a sharp 3.19 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 48:11 K:BB in 41 appearances covering 36.2 innings. The 24-year-old southpaw will be sidelined through at least July 19.

Winn is scheduled to start Tuesday's game versus the Mariners at Oracle Park.

Winn will be making his second turn through the Giants rotation after impressing in his first MLB start last Thursday in Toronto. While facing off against a formidable offense on the road, Winn struck out three and allowed two earned runs and six baserunners over six innings in a losing effort. The right-hander draws a more favorable matchup this time around and could make sense as a streaming option while facing a Mariners offense that has struck out at a 26.1 percent clip -- the third-highest rate in the majors -- since June 1.

Perez was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with left forearm soreness, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Perez felt soreness while playing catch Monday. The Orioles' level of concern with the reliever is considered low, so it sounds like he has a shot to be back when first eligible on July 18.

Zimmermann was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Zimmermann has been starting at Norfolk but has been used in relief during his time with the Orioles this season. He'll provide the bullpen with some length.

Scott was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Scott was acquired via trade from the Dodgers a couple weeks ago and now has joined the big club after a brief stint with Worcester. The 31-year-old holds an ugly 10.75 ERA over 27 appearances across parts of three seasons in the majors.

Walter was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Walter pitched well in his major-league debut last month and now is back presumably to provide some length in the bullpen. He could be needed Tuesday against the Rangers with the Red Sox using an opening pitcher (Brennan Bernardino) in what's expected to be a bullpen day.

Cox was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

The move comes a day after Cox allowed three runs over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Twins. Cox had pitched well in relief for the Royals but was ineffective in both starts with the big club. It's not clear whether he'll be used in the rotation or bullpen at Omaha.
