Alec Asher - R - Brewers

Brewers designated RHP Alec Asher for assignment.

The Brewers had to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for Tyler Saladino, who was just acquired in a trade with the White Sox. Asher owns a 3.00 ERA in one start for Triple-A Colorado Springs this year. The Brewers could retain Asher and stash him in the minors if he clears waivers.

Tyler Saladino - 3B - Brewers

Brewers acquired INF Tyler Saladino from the White Sox in exchange for cash.

The White Sox traded him to make room for Trayce Thompson, who was acquired in a trade with Oakland on Thursday. Saladino will begin his Brewers' tenure with Triple-A Colorado Springs. He's only logged eight at-bats at the major league level this year.

Trayce Thompson - OF - White Sox

White Sox acquired OF Trayce Thompson from the Athletics in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

He was designated for assignment on Tuesday. This will be the fourth team Thompson has played for in less than a month. The 27-year-old was actually drafted by the White Sox and made his big league debut for them in 2015. He's struggled at the plate this year, collecting just one hit in seven at-bats.

Lou Trivino - R - Athletics

Brewers optioned RHP Lou Trivino to Triple-A Nashville.

The A's will likely send up a fresh arm to replace Trivino, who logged three innings in Wednesday's marathon win over the White Sox. The right-hander pitched well during his brief stint in the majors and should be back up with Oakland later this year.

Madison Bumgarner - S - Giants

Madison Bumgarner had pins removed from his injured hand.

It's the latest step in Bumgarner's recovery from a broken left pinkie, which he suffered late in spring training. The left-hander is eligible to return from the disabled list on May 25 and manager Bruce Bochy expects he'll be able to do just that. His return would likely bump Derek Holland from the starting rotation.

Mark Melancon - R - Giants

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Mark Melancon (forearm) is a week away from playing catch.

This is consistent with the timetable Melancon was given last week when he underwent a stem cell injection in his injured forearm. Melancon can resume throwing next week but he's still a ways off from rejoining the Giants' bullpen. Hunter Strickland will continue to handle save chances in Melancon's absence.

Hunter Pence - OF - Giants

Updating an earlier report, Hunter Pence will sit out Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks due to a sore right thumb.

The injury might explain his recent struggles. With Jeff Samardzija (pectoral) set to return Friday, the Giants could clear a roster spot by placing Pence on the disabled list. Pence hasn't looked right this year, batting just .172 with 22 strikeouts in 58 at-bats.

Kirby Yates - R - Padres

Padres activated RHP Kirby Yates from the 10-day disabled list.

San Diego made room for him by optioning Luis Perdomo to Triple-A. Yates missed the minimum 10 days with right ankle tendinitis. He'll work in middle relief.
