The Marlins transferred Nance (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Jeff Lindgren, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Jacksonville ahead of Saturday's doubleheader with the Guardians. Nance has been working his way back from a right shoulder strain since late February and will now have to wait until at least the end of May before he can make his 2023 debut with the Marlins.

Vest was recalled by the Tigers from Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Vest will take the place of Trey Wingenter on the roster after Wingenter was placed on the 15-day injured list with shoulder tendinitis. In 59 games with the Tigers in 2022, Vest posted a 4.00 ERA with a 63:22 K:BB over 63 innings.

Reed was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Saturday.

Reed had his contract selected Friday but spend just one day on the big-league roster, giving up six runs against the Cubs while retiring just two batters. Victor Gonzalez was recalled to take his place on the roster.

The Dodgers recalled Gonzalez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Gonzalez owns a 2.75 ERA in 55.2 career major-league innings, but he missed all of last season with elbow troubles and failed to win an Opening Day roster spot this year. After striking out 12 batters in seven innings for Oklahoma City while allowing just one run, he'll get the chance to prove himself at the highest level again. Jake Reed was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Tigers placed Wingenter on the 15-day injured lis Saturday with right shoulder tendinitis.

Wingenter appeared in six games with an 8.31 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over 4.1 innings of work prior to the injury. The 6-foot-7 right-hander will be out at least two weeks while Will Vest takes his place in the bullpen.

Criswell was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Criswell allowed five runs in 6.2 innings since getting his contract selected Monday, though that did come with a 10:2 K:BB. He could return in a low-leverage role later this season, but for now it will be Hector Perez who takes his spot.

Knehr was optioned to Triple-A El Paso by the Padres on Saturday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Knehr struggled to a 12.27 ERA over three appearances and 3.2 innings while with the club. The right-hander was optioned down to El Paso to make room for Joe Musgrove (toe/shoulder), who will come off the injured list to make his 2023 season debut Saturday.

Bellatti was placed on the 15-day injured list with right triceps tendinitis Saturday.

The move was made retroactive to Friday, so Bellatti will be eligible to return May 6, but it's unclear if he'll have a chance to make it back after a minimum-length stay. The righty gave up just two hits and zero runs in his first six appearances but allowed six runs on nine hits in his last four outings. It's possible those struggles were injury-related. Cristopher Sanchez (triceps) was activated off the injured list to take Bellati's place on the roster.

Romano (2-1) took the loss Saturday against the Yankees by allowing one run on three hits and one walk without recording an out.

Romano allowed a double to Anthony Rizzo to begin the bottom of the ninth, and after an infield single by Gleyber Torres and a walk to Willie Calhoun, the right-hander gave up a walkoff single to DJ LeMahieu to end the game. The run was the first that Romano had given up since his blown save against the Angels on April 9.

Bolanos, who signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on April 8, made his organizational debut Friday for Triple-A Jacksonville. He tossed four shutout innings against Nashville, striking out one while scattering two hits and one walk.

The 26-year-old right-hander will give the Marlins some added organizational starting depth while Miami has two members of its season-opening rotation (Trevor Rogers and Johnny Cueto) on the injured list. Bolanos has previously made five big-league starts, but he'll likely be behind at least Triple-A rotation mate Bryan Hoeing for a promotion when the Marlins require a replacement starter for Rogers beginning next week.
