Finnegan (finger) appeared in relief in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Rockies, striking out two over a 19-pitch inning while allowing one earned run on two hits.

The appearance was Finnegan's first since he suffered a cut on one of his fingers in a May 1 outing against the Giants. Assuming Finnegan felt fine coming out of Thursday's appearance, he'll be available out of the bullpen for Sunday's series finale with the Angels.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa said after Sunday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox that Bummer is slated to land on the injured list with a sore knee, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Bummer presumably picked up the injury during his most recent relief appearance Friday, when he tossed a scoreless inning en route to notching his seventh hold of the season. The White Sox will likely make the transaction official prior to Monday's series opener with the Guardians.

Rosenberg was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Rosenberg has been in the majors for the past week but didn't make an appearance during his time with the Halos. He'll head back to Salt Lake, where he has a 0.96 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB over 9.1 innings.

The Mariners transferred Giles (finger) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.

Giles' move to the 60-day IL ensures he won't make his season debut until at least early June and clears room on the 40-man roster for pitcher George Kirby, who was called up from Double-A Arkansas in advance of his first MLB start Sunday against the Rays. Though Giles was sidelined for the entire 2021 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, a right middle finger sprain is what has prevented him from pitching at any level with the Mariners thus far in 2022. He was cleared to begin a throwing program just over a week ago, but he'll essentially need to complete a spring training-esque progression before he's deemed ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Rom (undisclosed) was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list at Double-A Bowie this week.

Rom made his longest start of the season May 4, tossing 5.1 innings of two-run, five-hit ball, but it appears he's sustained an injury. There are no available details on the southpaw's injury. He has a 3.98 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB in 20.1 innings with Bowie.

Rogers allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to record a hold in Saturday's 13-7 win over the Cardinals.

The Giants' bullpen has struggled lately, but Rogers has mostly avoided any issues individually, allowing just one run in five innings across his last six outings. The setup man protected a three-run lead in the eighth inning Saturday before the Giants tacked on some more runs. Rogers has a 2.31 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 9:2 K:BB and seven holds in 11.2 innings this season.

Santos was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Santos was promoted from Sacramento on Thursday and will return there after firing 1.2 scoreless innings during his lone appearance for the Giants. He could rejoin the big-league club later in the season when bullpen depth is needed.

Junis was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento and will start Sunday against the Cardinals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Junis was previously named the starter for Sunday's series finale, and he's now officially been called up from Sacramento. The 29-year-old has come out of the bullpen in his two previous appearances this season, but he covered five scoreless frames in each contest, so he shouldn't face any significant workload limitations in his first start of 2022.

Lamet allowed three runs on one hit and two walks over two-thirds of an inning in Saturday's loss to Miami.

The right-hander had trouble finding the plate in the outing, throwing only 11 of 24 pitches for strikes and walking two batters. He has given up at least one earned run in three of his past four appearances to push his season ERA to 8.59. Once a promising starter, Lamet's stock has cratered due to injury, and his first campaign as a full-time reliever has yet to pan out as the Padres had hoped.

The Guardians optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Columbus on Sunday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

De Los Santos wasn't going to be available for Sunday's series finale with Toronto after he worked an inning and tossed 30 pitches while giving up a run and walking three in Saturday's 8-3 loss in Game 1 of a doubleheader. As a result, the Guardians will swap De Los Santos off the 26-man active roster for Kirk McCarty, who was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.
