Henry was optioned to Triple-A Rochester after allowed four runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two over 1.2 innings Monday against the Astros.

Henry will head to the minors after tossing 44 pitches in Monday's victory. He's now surrendered three or more runs in two of his last three appearances in the big leagues. The Nationals will presumably bring up a fresh arm ahead of Tuesday's clash.

The Giants outrighted Santos to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

The transaction will free up on a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Eric Cerantola, whom the Giants claimed off waivers from the Royals. Santos owns a 6.89 ERA and 1.84 WHIP with an 11:11 K:BB across 15.2 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

Bruihl left Monday's game against Milwaukee with a left ankle sprain, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. He allowed one run on one hit and one walk over 1.1 innings.

Bruihl appeared to tweak his ankle while fielding an infield dribbler, and he exited the game immediately after the play. He'll presumably be sent for additional testing to determine whether a trip to the injured list is warranted.

The Blue Jays placed Fisher (personal) on the bereavement list Monday.

Fisher will be away from the team while tending to a personal matter. The righty reliever has posted a 3.33 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 46:21 K:BB while gathering three wins, eight holds and one save across 46 innings this season.

The Dodgers selected Duran to the 40-man roster Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Duran will remain at Triple-A Oklahoma City after being added to the 40-man roster. His lone MLB action dates back to the 2025 campaign while with the Athletics, when he surrendered three runs on one hit and three walks over one-third of an inning. He's submitted a 3.86 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 50:25 K:BB in 35 innings at Oklahoma City in 2026.

Gervase was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Gervase has been booted from the MLB roster to make room for the return of Evan Phillips from the 60-day injured list. Gervase will serve as bullpen depth at Triple-A, where he's posted a 3.60 ERA and 1.44 WHIP with 35 strikeouts across 25.0 innings so far this season.

The Dodgers reinstated Phillips (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

As expected, Phillips will be available for Monday's series opener against the Rockies after completing his recovery from his June 2025 Tommy John surgery. While he could eventually work into a high-leverage role, Phillips is expected to be eased into action out of the Los Angeles bullpen. During his rehab assignment, Phillips submitted a 1.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB in 10 innings over 12 appearances at Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The Twins optioned Laweryson to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

A corresponding move has yet to be announced, but the Twins' decision to option Laweryson comes after Minnesota acquired Woo-suk Go from Detroit. Go is expected to be added to Minnesota's 26-man roster prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Guardians, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Laweryson has appeared in 15 games out of the Minnesota bullpen this season, posting a 4.86 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, one save and an 18:8 K:BB across 16.2 innings.

The Orioles optioned Weston to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

Weston was called up by the Orioles on Wednesday but didn't make any appearances before being sent back down to the minors. He's appeared in 19 games (seven starts) at Triple-A this season, producing a 7.23 ERA, 1.91 WHIP and 53:24 K:BB across 37.1 innings.

The Giants claimed Cerantola off waivers from the Royals on Monday.

Cerantola, 26, has allowed six runs with a 7:10 K:BB over 5.1 frames at the big-league level this season. The righty reliever has been much better at the Triple-A level in 2026 with a 2.67 ERA and 43:16 K:BB across 30.1 frames. He'll begin his time in the Giants organization at Triple-A Sacramento.
