Atlanta recalled Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

The left-hander opened the campaign with Gwinnett and hasn't pitched particularly well with a 5.74 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 15.2 innings, though a 21:3 K:BB is more encouraging. Dodd has primarily worked as a starter in the past, but all 16 of his appearances at Triple-A this season have come out of the bullpen, with none longer than two innings.

The Rockies are expected to call up Palmquist from Triple-A Albuquerque to make his major-league debut Friday in Arizona, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Palmquist has collected a 3.82 ERA and 45:18 K:BB over 35.1 innings covering seven starts in a difficult pitching environment at Albuquerque this season. The left-hander boasts a career 31.1 percent strikeout rate in the minors but also an 11.2 percent walk rate. Palmquist's stint in the big-league rotation could last more than one turn, as Ryan Feltner (back) still lacks a clear return date.

Feltner (back) threw a bullpen session Sunday, MLB.com reports.

The right-hander reported reduced soreness in his back following the side session, but he's still expected to need a minor-league rehab assignment before returning from the 15-day injured list. The Rockies initially placed Feltner on the IL on May 2 after he experienced back spasms coming out of an April 28 start.

Misiorowski gave up one earned run over seven innings for Triple-A Nashville on Thursday. He allowed four hits and posted a 5:1 K:BB in the contest.

Per MLB.com, Misiorowski hit 103.0 mph on the radar gun with a sixth-inning fastball and lowered his ERA on the season to 1.46. Control has been a concern for the right-hander, but he has issued just nine walks in 35.2 innings over his last six starts while striking out 43 batters. Milwaukee still has multiple starting pitchers on the injured list, with Jose Quintana (shoulder) the most recent arm to go down, and if the club believes Misiorowski has ironed out his issues finding the strike zone it could decide to summon him for his big-league debut before the end of the month.

White went 1-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Nationals.

Getting the start in right field and batting eighth, White crossed the plate with the game's first run after reaching on an error and swiping second in the third inning. The 30-year-old has slowed down at the plate in May, slashing .240/.296/.340 through 14 games with two steals, four RBI, six runs and a 3:14 BB:K, and White's stint as an everyday player for Atlanta could end before the month is over with Ronald Acuna (knee) closing in on his season debut.

Acuna (knee) went 2-for-3 with a double for Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

The star outfielder also had some defensive gaffes in right field, but at least at the plate Acuna is looking like he may not need anything close to the full 20 days on his rehab assignment before he'll be ready to make his 2025 debut with Atlanta. Gwinnett's current homestand lasts through the weekend, and per Theo DeRosa of MLB.com, it's not clear yet whether Acuna will head out on a road trip to Louisville with the Stripers or have his rehab stint transferred to Double-A Columbus, which starts a homestand against Montgomery on Tuesday.

The Rockies optioned Molina to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

Molina made just one appearance during his brief stint with the big club, tossing a perfect inning. The Rockies will announce a corresponding move prior to Friday's game in Arizona.

The Diamondbacks plan to call up Montes De Oca from Triple-A Reno on Friday, MLB reporter Mike Rodriguez reports.

The Diamondbacks optioned Joe Mantiply to Reno on Thursday, and Montes De Oca looks as though he'll replace him in the bullpen ahead of Friday's game against the Rockies. The 25-year-old right-hander has shown improved control at Reno this season, walking just four in 19 innings while turning in a 2.37 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 12 appearances so far. While he hasn't displayed a great strikeout punch at the upper levels of the minors, he has the potential to stick around in the Arizona bullpen.

Rushing went 2-for-4 with a walk and three runs scored in Thursday's 19-2 win over the Athletics.

Rushing got a fun first taste of major-league action in this lopsided win in his debut. He didn't look out of place, striking out just once and scoring each time he got on base. The 24-year-old was slashing .308/.424/.514 over 31 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to his call-up Wednesday. He slots in as the backup to Will Smith at catcher, but Rushing can also push the struggling Michael Conforto for playing time in left field since Smith is likely to catch 4-to-5 games per week.

Kim went 3-for-3 with a double, two walks, two RBI, one stolen base and four runs scored in Thursday's 19-2 win over the Athletics.

From the No. 9 hole, Kim was able to have another strong performance, earning his first three-hit game in the majors. He also drew his first two walks in the contest. Kim is now batting .429 with a home run, five RBI, nine runs scored and three steals across 30 plate appearances to begin his big-league career. He's seeing time at second base and in center field against right-handed pitchers, though he could soon take on a reduced role with Tommy Edman (ankle) nearing his return from the IL.
