    • Dodgers designate Elieser Hernandez for assignment
      Dodgers designated RHP Elieser Hernandez for assignment.

      Advice: The Dodgers needed to clear a spot on the active roster for Evan Phillips’ return on Friday night and unfortunately Hernandez was the odd-man out this time around. The 29-year-old hurler has posted an 8.38 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and a 6/3 K/BB ratio over 9 2/3 innings for the Dodgers this season. It’s likely that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra pitching depth for the Dodgers at Triple-A Oklahoma City. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
       
    • DFA'd by Dodgers
      The Dodgers designated Hernandez for assignment Friday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

      Advice: Hernandez will be pushed off the Dodgers' roster in order to make room for Evan Phillips (hamstring), who was reinstated from the IL in a corresponding move. The 29-year-old Hernandez struggled heavily upon joining the big-league club May 15, allowing nine earned runs in just 9.2 innings of work. Despite his problems in the majors, other teams may be willing to take a chance on him based on his 2.83 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in Triple-A. Rotowire.com Today, 4:26 pm
       
    • Elects free agency
      Bowman will enter free agency after clearing waivers Friday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

      Advice: After being acquired by the Twins on May 2, Bowman struggled in his four outings with the Diamondbacks, allowing six earned runs on eight hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He was designated for assignment Sunday, and the 33-year-old will hit the open market and look to join a team in need of right-handed depth out of the bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 4:14 pm
       
    • Returns from Triple-A IL
      Triple-A Reno reinstated Barrosa (hamstring) from the 7-day injured list Friday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

      Advice: Barrosa has been on the shelf since late April due to a right hamstring strain. He began playing rehab games in the Arizona Complex League last week, going 4-for-16 with three RBI across four games, and he's been given the green light to return to the Aces' lineup. The 23-year-old outfielder is slashing 308/.438/.462 across 48 Triple-A plate appearances and made his MLB debut earlier this season, going 2-for-10 with an RBI in three games against the Yankees in early April.

    • Outrighted to Triple-A
      Reetz was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday after clearing waivers.

      Advice: Reetz has struggled in the majors this season, going 1-for-12 while striking out four times across five appearances. He'll remain within the Giants organization and look to find his swing again in the minors. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 pm
       
    • Outrighted to Triple-A
      McKenna cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Sacramento, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: McKenna was DFA'd for the second time this season Tuesday, though he will clear waivers this time around and remain within the Giants organization. The 27-year-old outfielder put up a .244/.333/.444 slash line with the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate, but he would likely have to further improve upon those numbers before drawing consideration for a return to San Francisco.

    • Brewers option Owen Miller back to Triple-A
      Brewers optioned INF/OF Owen Miller to Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: With Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) returning from the injured list on Friday, there was no longer room on the bench for Miller. He’ll return to an everyday role at Triple-A Nashville until his services are needed again at the big league level. Rotoworld Today, 3:51 pm

    • Sent back to Nashville
      The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

      Advice: Miller was recalled from Nashville earlier in May to provide depth as Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed to the injured list. Now that Hoskins is back, Miller will be pushed back to Triple-A. The 27-year-old infielder has slashed .185/.185/.222 across 27 big-league plate appearances this season, but he figures to be on the shortlist for a return to Milwaukee should the Brewers run into more depth issues.

    • Recalled by San Francisco
      The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

      Advice: The move corresponds with Marco Luciano being placed on the injured list due to a right hamstring strain. Since being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on May 17, Schmitt has gone 14-for-44 with 12 runs, four home runs and 12 RBI. With both Luciano and Nick Ahmed (wrist) on the IL, Schmitt will likely form a platoon at shortstop with the lefty-hitting Brett Wisely. Rotowire.com Today, 3:41 pm
