Jansen tossed a scoreless inning of relief to earn the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Jansen needed only eight pitches to retire Texas in order as he efficiently earned his 10th save of the season in 14 chances. The veteran reliever has had some ups and downs this year, including allowing four earned runs over 2.2 innings in his three most recent appearances before Sunday's improved effort. Overall, Jansen is sitting with a 4.98 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 23 strikeouts across 21.2 innings this season, making him a volatile fantasy option so far in his first campaign with the Tigers.

The Twins acquired Go from the Tigers on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Go opened the season in Double-A Erie before being promoted to Triple-A Toledo in early May. Across 19 outings at Triple-A, he has posted a 2.60 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, two saves and a 32:11 K:BB across 27.2 innings. The 27-year-old righty has yet to make his MLB debut, but he should get the chance to do so soon; Dan Hayes of The Athletic relays that Go will be added to the 40-man roster and formally added to the 26-man active roster Tuesday.

The Angels recalled Saucedo from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Sam Aldegheri was optioned to Salt Lake in a corresponding move. Saucedo has spent the vast majority of the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he's produced a 6.75 ERA and 1.79 WHIP across 30.2 innings. He'll likely fill a low-leverage role out of the Angels bullpen.

Martin allowed one hit and struck out one over a scoreless inning in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Detroit.

Martin was reinstated from the injured list Saturday and was used immediately. It's been a rough season for the 40-year-old right-hander, who has spent two stints on the IL and carries a 7.15 ERA through 13 outings (11.1 innings). He was considered a candidate for closing duties coming out of training camp, but Martin is still looking for his first save of 2026, and he might never get one given how well Jacob Latz (18 saves and an All-Star nod) has pitched in that role.

Junis received an injection Saturday for the hip impingement that landed him on the injured list, MLB.com reports.

Junis, who was bothered by the issue over the prior week, was placed on the injured list Saturday retroactive to July 1. The club is hoping he will be able to return immediately after the All-Star break.

The Yankees recalled Chivilli from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

The right-hander was called up to the Yankees in mid-April and made two appearances before going down with a shoulder injury, and he was optioned to Triple-A once he recovered from the injury in June. Chivilli has been lights out for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a 1.08 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB across 16.2 innings.

Murphy will serve as the White Sox's opener for Sunday's game against the Guardians, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Murphy will make his second start of the season but is expected to work just one or two innings before bulk reliever Erick Fedde takes over. Through 18 appearances with Chicago, Murphy has compiled a 3.79 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB across 19 innings.

The Rays recalled Englert from Triple-A Durham to start Sunday against the Astros.

The right-hander spent the past few weeks in the minors and will rejoin Tampa Bay to start Sunday's series finale in Houston. It'll be just the second big-league start of the season for Englert, though he was utilized as a long reliever during his most recent stint in the majors in early June, when he made two appearances and allowed one run on eight hits and two walks with six strikeouts over nine innings. For the season, the 26-year-old has a 3.96 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB across 25 big-league innings.

The Rays optioned Martin to Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Martin will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to right-hander Mason Englert, who was recalled from Triple-A to start Sunday's game in Houston. Over six relief appearances with Tampa Bay this season, Martin has yielded five earned runs on 14 hits and four walks while striking out seven across 11.1 innings.

Wells earned the save in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Reds, allowing one hit and one walk in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not record a strikeout.

With Ryan Helsley (elbow) back on the injured list, Wells has gotten the call for two straight save chances and delivered on both. He owns a 3.02 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 43:10 K:BB across 41.2 innings this season and appears to be the early favorite to replace Helsley in the ninth inning as long as he continues to pitch well.
