Cleavinger was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Cleavinger hasn't pitched in the majors since mid-May but will rejoin the Dodgers early in the second half of the season. The 28-year-old has pitched well at Triple-A this year, posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 47:17 K:BB across 29 innings.

Hearn was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

The left-hander pitched behind an opener twice after being recalled by the Rangers on July 15, and he fared well, with two earned runs allowed and a 10:3 K:BB across 7.1 innings. However, it wasn't enough to stick in the rotation with Dane Dunning (ankle) returning from the injured list. Hearn's performance could earn him more opportunities later in the year.

Rondon was designated for assignment by the Giants on Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Rondon was claimed off waivers by San Francisco in mid-July, but he never made it to the majors with the organization. He made only two appearances with Triple-A Sacramento and could remain there if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Santos was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

Santos was promoted from Sacramento on Sunday and will return there after giving up two runs in two innings during Monday's contest. He has a 3.70 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 23:13 K:BB across 24.1 innings at Triple-A this year.

Lawrence was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

The right-hander has been in the minors the past few weeks but will rejoin the Rockies with Jhoulys Chacin (toe) headed to the injured list. Lawrence has appeared in 15 MLB games this year and has a 5.17 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 20:13 K:BB across 15.2 innings.

Suarez (knee) began a rehab assignment Tuesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Suarez landed on the injured list after undergoing knee surgery in early June, but he is ready for the final step in his recovery. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list earlier this month, but he could be ready to return when first eligible Aug. 5.

White was placed on the injured list with forearm fatigue Tuesday, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

White has posted a 2.49 ERA and 1.13 WHIP since being promoted to Double-A Frisco in late June, but his season will be put on pause as a result of his injury. The Rangers are hoping he will recover with rest, and he is expected to resume throwing in 7-to-10 days.

Barnes (shoulder) will continue his rehab assignment with Double-A Portland on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Barnes has already made five rehab outings between rookie ball and Triple-A Worcester, and he'll continue the minor-league assignment Tuesday with Portland. Manager Alex Cora said the veteran right-hander is also scheduled to pitch back-to-back days Friday and Saturday, which could be the final hurdle before he is reinstated from the injured list.

Norris signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Tuesday.

Norris was cut loose by the Cubs over the weekend, and he decided to return to the team he played for from the midway point of the 2015 season through the midway point of the 2021 campaign. Norris had a rough go of it the last couple years, but he will attempt to get back on track in his old stomping grounds.

May (triceps) could be activated from the injured list next week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

May began a rehab assignment Sunday, and he is set to take the mound again Wednesday. He is then scheduled to go both Saturday and Sunday, and if all goes well, he could rejoin the big club after that.
