The Dodgers optioned Reed to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Reed was dropped from the active roster to clear room in the bullpen for Victor Gonzalez (foot), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. During his two-week stint with the big club, Reed appeared in six games and gave up three runs (two earned) over 5.1 innings.

The Dodgers reinstated Gonzalez (foot) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Los Angeles optioned reliever Jake Reed to Triple-A Oklahoma City to open up a spot on the 26-man roster for Gonzalez, who missed two weeks with the left foot injury. Prior to being sidelined, Gonzalez had been serving as a key part of the bridge to closer Kenley Jansen. Over 36 appearances out of the Dodgers bullpen, Gonzalez has collected three wins, 16 holds and one save while posting a 2.57 ERA.

The Twins reinstated Coulombe (personal) from the paternity list ahead of Monday's doubleheader with the White Sox.

Reliever Beau Burrows was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul to clear a spot on the active roster for Coulombe, who was away from the team for two days to observe the birth of his second son, Thomas. Since being called up from St. Paul in late June, Coulombe has posted a 1.13 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across eight innings out of the bullpen.

Jax was recalled as expected ahead of his scheduled start against the White Sox on Monday.

Jax will start the afternoon contest, but he's merely up as the extra man for the twin bill, so he's likely to head back to the minors after his outing. The 26-year-old hasn't shown much in his first taste of the big leagues this season, struggling to an 8.66 ERA in 17.2 innings (one start and four relief appearances). He's allowed too much contact, striking out just 17.1 percent of opposing batters, and he's failed to keep that contact on the ground, generating just a 27.1 percent groundball rate.

Pagan was tagged with a blown save Sunday against Washington as a result of surrendering three runs on four hits over one inning. He struck out two.

Pagan took the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning with San Diego up by two runs. After striking out the first batter he faced, the right-handed hurler allowed three straight hits -- two of which left the yard -- as Washington reclaimed the lead. The outing marked the first time this season that Pagan has allowed more than two runs. He has a 3.72 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 38.2 innings.

Jansen couldn't convert a save opportunity Sunday against Colorado. He gave up one run on two hits over one inning.

The veteran closer's first chance for a save in the second half of the season didn't go well, as Jansen yielded a double and a single to allow the tying run to cross the plate. The blown save was just his third of the campaign in 24 chances. Despite Sunday's disappointing outcome, Jansen is enjoying a resurgent season overall with a 1.45 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB across 37.1 innings.

Foster was recalled to serve as the 27th man for Monday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Foster has struggled to a 6.15 ERA in 26.1 innings at the big-league level this season. His 26.9 percent strikeout rate and 7.6 percent walk rate are both better than average, but his very low 26.7 percent groundball rate has led to an inflated 2.4 HR/9. He'll likely be limited to low-leverage opportunities during his time with the team, which might only last one day if he's sent down following the doubleheader.

Misiewicz, who fired a scoreless two-thirds of an inning during which he allowed a hit and recorded two strikeouts in a win over the Angels on Sunday, has a 1-0 record, 2.45 ERA and 0.82 WHIP across his five July appearances.

That span only covers 3.2 innings, but it's nevertheless been an encouraging stretch for the southpaw. Misiewicz boasts an impressive 38:9 K:BB across 34.1 innings, and his formidable swing-and-miss stuff (26.4 percent strikeout rate) should continue affording him hold opportunities, if not the occasional save chance.

Harvey was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A St. Paul with a right forearm strain, according to TwinsDaily.com.

Harvey was DFA'd by Colorado on June 22 and later signed with Minnesota. Harvey tossed 3.1 scoreless innings during four major-league appearances with the Rockies in 2020 but did not make it into a game during his brief time in the majors this season. He'd given up six runs in three innings in four games with St. Paul before the injury.

Gallegos secured his 15th hold in a win over the Giants on Sunday, striking out the side but also hitting a batter during a scoreless eighth inning.

The plunking of Wilmer Flores caused Gallegos to put in a little extra work, but the right-hander looked good doing it. Gallegos now has three straight scoreless appearances after an atypical stretch where he allowed five earned runs over three outings, and he's garnered a hold in three of his last four trips to the mound.
