The Giants outrighted Ingram to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday after he cleared waivers, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Since the beginning of February, Ingram has spent time in six different organizations, but he looks like he'll stick around with San Francisco for now after going unclaimed off waivers. The 27-year-old lefty has yet to appear at the big-league level this season after logging 5.1 innings with the Angels in 2023.

Graterol (shoulder) completed his second rehab appearance Tuesday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, tossing one inning and giving up one earned run on two hits.

Graterol could move his rehab assignment to a higher-level affiliate shortly after the All-Star break and could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list by the end of July if he's able to avoid any setbacks in his subsequent minor-league appearances. The right-hander has been on the shelf all season after experiencing shoulder inflammation during spring training.

Triple-A Indianapolis placed Ashcraft on its 7-day injured list July 6 with an unspecified injury.

Ashcraft had previously been placed on Indianapolis' IL on June 28 before being activated July 6, but it's unclear if his latest injury is related to the previous one or a new concern. While the IL stints in quick succession certainly aren't ideal, Ashcraft has otherwise continued to excel when he's been able to take the mound. Over his last 10 outings between Indianapolis and Double-A Altoona, Aschraft has rung up a 1.39 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 59:10 K:BB in 51.2 innings.

Triple-A Indianapolis reinstated Burrows (elbow) from its 60-day injured list Tuesday and assigned him to the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Burrows had been on the shelf all season while he completed his recovery from April 2023 Tommy John surgery. He began a rehab assignment in the FCL on June 17 and later moved on to Single-A Bradenton, posting a 7.36 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB in 11 innings across his five rehab starts. Though Burrows appears to be fully healthy again, the Pirates will have him stick around in Florida a little longer to iron out the kinks before he's deemed ready to reclaim a spot in the Triple-A rotation.

Cavalli (elbow/illness) had been scheduled to report this week to the Nationals' spring training facility in West Palm Beach, Fla. to continue his rehab program, MLB.com repoorts.

On the mend from Tommy John surgery, Cavalli began his second rehab assignment June 21 with High-A Wilmington, but he hasn't pitched since then after coming down with the flu. Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reported July 3 that Cavalli's rehab assignment had been shut down, but the Nationals haven't provided any word that the right-hander is dealing with a setback with his elbow. Since it has been almost four weeks since Cavalli last pitched, he will need to time to get stretched back out whenever he's cleared to resume his rehab assignment, so a return from the 60-day injured list doesn't seem imminent. He turned in a 2.16 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 13 strikeouts in 8.1 innings across his first three rehab appearances.

The Dodgers optioned Petersen to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

The Dodgers will add a player to the 26-man active roster as a replacement for Petersen prior to their first game out of the All-Star break Friday versus the Red Sox. During his latest stint in the big leagues, Petersen made three relief appearances and gave up one earned run on two hits and two walks over 2.1 innings.

Small (oblique) began a rehab assignment Tuesday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, striking out one while allowing one run on one hit and no walks over one inning.

Small has been sidelined all season with a Grade 2 right oblique strain but has finally been cleared to pitch in games. Given the lengthy layoff, the left-handed reliever will likely require an extended rehab assignment before he's activated from the Giants' 60-day injured list. He has a minor-league option remaining and could be sent to Triple-A Sacramento once his rehab assignment concludes.

The Cubs acquired Tinoco from the Royals on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Tinoco has a 4.58 ERA in 57 career MLB games, nine of which came with the Rangers earlier this season before he was pushed off the 40-man roster and elected free agency. The 29-year-old has a 3.81 ERA and 34:10 K:BB in 20 appearances at the Triple-A level this season, and he'll start his tenure with the Cubs organization at Triple-A Iowa.

The Cubs optioned Palencia to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Palencia was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday for the second game of a doubleheader versus the Cardinals. However, the 24-year-old didn't make an appearance in his brief stint with the big club and will now head back to Triple-A.

The Reds signed Weigel to a minor-league contract on Saturday.

Weigel, 30, was assigned to Double-A Chattanooga and tossed a scoreless inning out of the bullpen in his debut Sunday. The reliever had been pitching in the Mexican League prior to joining the Reds and hasn't seen any action at the major-league level since 2021.
