Suter (calf) landed on the bereavement list Saturday.

Suter will be eligible to return as soon as Tuesday. It's unclear whether or not he's expected to do so, as he's also dealing with calf cramps after exiting his start Friday against the Marlins after just 2.1 innings.

Lowther was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk ahead of his scheduled start Saturday against the Red Sox.

Lowther's promotion to the majors was expected after the left-hander was named the starter for Saturday's matchup against Boston. Lowther allowed one hit and no walks while striking out one in a scoreless relief inning during his major-league debut.

Swanson will start Saturday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Swanson served as an opener Monday, and the Mariners hope to get two or three innings out of him Saturday before bringing in a bulk reliever. In his first two outings of the season, Swanson has allowed no hits and a walk while striking out four in four innings.

Hernandez (biceps) is expected to begin a rehab assignment next week provided his live batting practice session goes well Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Hernandez has been making steady progress as he works his way back from biceps inflammation, an injury which forced him to leave his first start of the year early. He's only expected to throw 20 pitches Saturday, so he'll likely need multiple rehab starts before he's built up to a starter's workload.

Yarbrough (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Saturday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Yarbrough was dealing with vaccine side effects Friday, but he'll return to the active roster just one day later. The southpaw tentatively lines up to start at home against the Yankees on Tuesday, and he should be able to make his next start.

Castano will be recalled to start Saturday's game against the Brewers, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Castano has made three starts this season. His 4.73 ERA could be worse -- his 5.63 FIP and 5.68 xFIP indicate that it should have been worse. He's allowed far too much contact, striking out just 8.6 percent of opposing batters. A corresponding move has not yet been announced.

Edwards was designated for assignment Saturday.

Edwards spent just one day on Atlanta's active and 40-man rosters, and it didn't go well for him. He recorded just one out Friday against the Phillies, allowing three runs on three hits and a walk. He could return as bullpen depth at some point this season if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Arano was recalled by Atlanta on Saturday.

Arano showed high-leverage potential in his first two seasons in the majors in 2017 and 2018, posting a 2.57 ERA and 3.13 FIP in 70 innings of work, but he battled elbow issues in 2019 and shoulder troubles in 2020, throwing just 4.2 innings. Still just 26 years old, Arano may still possess his former promise, but the fact that Atlanta kept him in the minors for over a month to start the year suggests expectations should be modest for now.

Law's contract was selected by the Twins on Saturday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Law failed to break camp with the major-league club this year, but he'll join Minnesota's bullpen as part of a shuffle after right-hander Cody Stashak was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul and Travis Blankenhorn was designated for assignment. Law allowed three hits and three walks while striking out 13 in eight scoreless innings this spring.

Rogers pitched a perfect eighth inning to earn a hold in Friday's 5-4 win over San Diego.

Manager Gabe Kapler indicated Rogers could get a look at ninth-inning duties with Jake McGee struggling, but the skipper opted to keep the hierarchy at the back of the bullpen intact Friday. It worked out just fine, with Rogers collecting his ninth hold and McGee pitching a scoreless ninth inning for the save. The 30-year-old Rogers has a 0.96 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB across 18.2 innings. He's picked up a pair of saves when McGee wasn't available -- Rogers is likely to stick in a high-leverage role throughout the season.
