Perdomo was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Perdomo was designated for assignment by the A's on Saturday and he cleared waivers. The left-hander has appeared in four games with the Athletics this season, surrendering two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out two batters over 3.1 innings.

Dubin (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land this weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Dubin threw a successful live batting practice session Monday, clearing the way for him to pitch in rehab games. The reliever missed the entirety of spring training with his shoulder issue, so he'll likely need at least a handful of rehab appearances before being activated from the 15-day injured list.

Ort (oblique) will make rehab appearances with Triple-A Sugar Land on back-to-back days Tuesday and Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Making appearances in consecutive days is often the final hurdle a reliever needs to clear before being activated, so Ort could be back as soon as Friday. He's been shelved with a left oblique strain early in spring training.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Monday that Hendriks (elbow) will pitch one more time for Triple-A Worcester before being activated from the 15-day injured list, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

After beginning the season on the IL due to right elbow inflammation, Hendriks progressed enough in his recovery to embark on a rehab assignment Thursday. He's pitched well in his two outings with the WooSox, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out four across two scoreless innings. Following his next rehab outing and barring any setbacks, Hendriks could join the Red Sox's bullpen as soon as this weekend's home series against the White Sox.

Kimbrel has been assigned to the Double-A Columbus roster, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Signed to a minor-league contract in mid-March, Kimbrel had been getting ramped up at Atlanta's spring training complex in Florida and is now ready to appear in games. The veteran reliever should eventually move up to Triple-A Gwinnett and, if all goes well, the plan is for him to join the big-league roster sometime in May.

The Orioles designated Gonzalez for assignment Monday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Scott Blewett, who was claimed off waivers. Gonzalez, 33, has yet to make an appearance at the major-league level and holds a 5.79 ERA and 4:4 K:BB over 4.2 frames this season with Triple-A Norfolk.

The Orioles claimed Blewett off waivers from the Twins on Monday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Blewett has not yet reported to the Orioles, but he will have to join the major-league roster because he's out of minor-league options. When Blewett does report, Baltimore will need to make a corresponding 26-man roster move. The 29-year-old has permitted one earned run with a 5:0 K:BB over 4.2 innings at the big-league level this season.

Diaz (hamstring) rejoined the Reds on Sunday, and manager Terry Francona suggested that while the right-hander could be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Mariners, an official decision has yet to be made, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Cincinnati seemingly has a spot on the 26-man active roster ready to go for Diaz, as the team placed reliever Sam Moll (shoulder) on the 15-day IL on Monday and didn't immediately announce a corresponding move. Diaz, who suffered a left hamstring strain late in spring training, made five appearances during his recent rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville, giving up four runs (three earned) on six hits and four walks while striking out eight over five innings. Despite the so-so results, Diaz told Goldsmith that he thought he threw the ball well over his final few outings with Louisville, and the 28-year-old feels that the mechanical adjustments he's made while on the shelf have left him prepared to find success if the Reds turn to him as their closer. Francona told Goldsmith last week that he wants Diaz to be the team's closer, but it's unclear if the skipper will immediately deploy Diaz in high-leverage spots once he's activated, or if he'll be eased into such situations.

The Reds placed Moll on the 15-day injured list Monday with a left shoulder impingement.

Moll hadn't pitched in a week and his velocity was down in his last appearance, so it seems this is something he's been dealing with for a little while. It's not yet clear how much time he might miss.

The Rays recalled Orze from Triple-A Durham on Monday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Orze had permitted just one hit and one run with a 9:0 K:BB over his first six innings with Durham this season. The 27-year-old will provide Tampa Bay with a fresh bullpen arm.
