The Red Sox transferred Schreiber (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Schreiber initially landed on the injured list May 16 with a right teres major sprain. His transfer ensures he will remain out until after the All-Star break and creates room for Tayler Scott, who was acquired in a trade with the Dodgers on Thursday.

The Dodgers traded Scott to the Red Sox on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Scott was DFA'd by the Dodgers on Saturday after accumulating a 9.00 ERA through six innings, and he will now move across the country to join the Red Sox. Boston has a plethora of pitchers on the injured list, so it's possible he joins the major-league bullpen right away. Otherwise, he will head to Triple-A, where he holds a 1.37 ERA and 1.20 WHIP alongside 25 strikeouts through 19.2 frames. John Schreiber (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL to make room for Scott on the 40-man roster.

The Brewers optioned Megill to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Prior to Wednesday, Megill had gone six consecutive appearances without giving up a run. However, he was lit up for three runs over 1.1 innings during a loss to Arizona and will now return to the minors where he holds a 9.95 ERA through 12.2 innings this season. The Brewers have yet to announce a corresponding move, but a bullpen replacement should be added prior to Friday's game against Cleveland.

Bard (3-1) allowed two earned runs on two walks and three hits while striking out one to take the loss Wednesday against the Reds.

Bard entered the game in the bottom of the eighth inning with the score knotted at 3-3. He served up a two-run home run to the third batter he faced and ultimately escaped further damage by striking out TJ Friedl with the bases loaded. Bard has walked a tightrope most of the season -- indicated by his 1.52 WHIP and 8.0 BB/9 -- but has still managed to maintain a 1.52 ERA. As long as he continues to let runners on base at that clip, he'll likely be on the outside looking in for save opportunities.

Hoeing is scheduled to start Saturday's game versus the Pirates at LoanDepot Park.

He'll be making his second turn through the rotation as a replacement for Edward Cabrera (shoulder) after striking out five over four scoreless innings while taking a no-decision Monday versus the Blue Jays. Until one of Cabrera, Johnny Cueto (biceps) or Trevor Rogers (biceps/shoulder) is ready to return from the injured list, Hoeing looks poised to stick around as the Marlins' No. 5 starter.

Walter was recalled from Triple-A Worcester prior to serving as the primary pitcher Thursday against the Twins, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

The 26-year-old lefty is in line for his big-league debut and is scheduled to follow opener Justin Garza. Walter hasn't lived up to expectations this season at Triple-A (6.28 ERA, 1.65 WHIP), but he has been solid in his two most recent starts, in which he walked two and struck out 13 over 10.1 innings.

Snead (shoulder) took the loss for Triple-A Las Vegas against Oklahoma City on Wednesday, allowing an earned run on a hit and a walk over 1.2 innings. He struck out one.

Snead worked up to 28 pitches during what was his third rehab appearance with the Aviators and fifth overall. The southpaw has surrendered an earned run in each of his outings in Las Vegas, but Wednesday marked the first time he allowed the ball to leave the yard over 5.1 frames down on the farm. Snead is seemingly built up enough for the relief role he'd fill at the big-league level were he to be activated, but the Athletics may allow him to continue knocking off rust in at least one more minor-league appearance.

Tarnok (shoulder) fired four scoreless innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Oklahoma City on Wednesday, allowing three hits while recording two strikeouts.

Tarnok has gotten more impressive with each rehab appearance, and Wednesday's outing saw him work up to 53 pitches. The promising right-hander would likely need at least one more start on the farm before being built up enough to be activated with an eye on joining the big-league rotation, but the fact he's already tossed 6.2 scoreless frames in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League supports the notion he'll have the ability to offer a boost to Oakland's starting pitching arsenal.

Bird did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing two hits over two scoreless innings against Cincinnati. He struck out one and did not walk a batter.

Bird did his job as an opener Wednesday, hurling two shutout innings before being relieved by Karl Kauffmann to start the third. The right-hander allowed two hits but did not walk a batter for the fourth time in his last five appearances as the Rockies lost their eighth straight. His ERA now sits at 4.73 in June, though he has not allowed a run in three of the last four games in which he's taken the mound.

Romano picked up the save in Wednesday's 6-3 victory over the Marlins. He allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

After getting Joey Wendle to go down swinging to open the ninth, Romano allowed a single and a walk in the next two at-bats while also being charged with a balk. However, the reliever was able to get out of the jam, retiring the next two batters to earn his 22nd save of the season, which ties him with Emmanuel Clase for the league lead. Romano has now converted his last 12 save opportunities and has 10 saves in June alone to go along with a 1.74 ERA for the month.
