The Marlins optioned Gillispie to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Gillespie gave up seven runs in just two innings during Saturday's loss to the Mariners. He's posted a 14.25 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 12 innings over his last three starts, and he will move to Triple-A to work on his control. Miami recalled Luarbert Arias from Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

The Marlins recalled Arias from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

The move corresponds with Connor Gillispie being optioned to Jacksonville. Arias has an 11.37 ERA and 2.05 WHIP in 6.1 major-league innings, but he's not allowed a run in three of his four outings in the minors this season. He'll give the Marlins another right-handed option out of the bullpen.

Horwitz (wrist) will embark on a rehab assignment with Double-A Altoona on Sunday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Horwitz underwent surgery in February to repair an extensor tendon in his right thumb that was causing pain in his wrist, but he's finally ready for game action. Horwitz appeared in 97 games for the Blue Jays in 2024, slashing .265/.357/.433 with 12 home runs and 40 RBI in 381 plate appearances.

Soroka (biceps) will make a rehab start for Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Soroka worked 2.2 innings in his first rehab start Tuesday, and the goal Sunday is for the 27-year-old right-hander to pitch at least five innings. Soroka is in the final stages of his recovery from a right biceps strain that caused him to be placed on the 15-day injured list April 4.

The Rockies optioned Hill to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Bradley Blalock, who will start against the Reds on Sunday. Hill has made three appearances out of the Rockies bullpen this season, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out five across 2.2 innings. The 25-year-old should return to the majors at some point this season.

The Rockies optioned Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Fulford was recalled Saturday when Aaron Schunk (groin) was placed on the IL, but he'll return to Triple-A after the Rockies selected Alan Trejo's contract from Albuquerque. Fulford has a 1.345 OPS across 44 plate appearances in Triple-A and could return to the majors if Hunter Goodman or Jacob Stallings are unavailable.

Feltner won't make his next scheduled start Sunday against the Reds while he tends to a back issue, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

After turning in a seven-inning start against the Royals on Tuesday, Feltner said that he felt his back tighten up in the weight room two days later. The Rockies don't anticipate Feltner missing extensive time, as he could be ready to start as soon as Monday's series opener versus Atlanta in Colorado. Bradley Blalock was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque and will start Sunday.

The Rockies recalled Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque, and he'll start in Sunday's series finale versus the Reds at Coors Field.

Blalock won a spot on the Rockies' Opening Day roster as a long reliever, making two appearances out of the bullpen before being optioned to Triple-A. The 24-year-old right-hander has since started three games at Triple-A and will now get his first start of the season with the big club, affording all other members of the rotation an extra day of rest. The Rockies haven't announced their plans for Blalock beyond Sunday, but a poor showing would put him at risk of a demotion.

The Rockies selected Trejo's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Trejo was re-acquired by the Rockies from the Rangers on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations. The 28-year-old infielder will join the 26-man roster ahead of Sunday's series finale against the Reds. He appeared in 28 games for Colorado in 2024, posting a .143/.182/.143 slash line with four runs scored and one RBI in 67 plate appearances.

Atlanta recalled Daniel from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Daniel takes the spot on the 26-man roster created when Jesse Chavez was designated for assignment. Daniel has started three games at Triple-A this season, going 0-2 with a 4.63 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB across 11.2 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander will likely serve as a long-relief option, though he could make a spot start or two while Spencer Strider (hamstring) is on the 15-day injured list.
