The Tigers claimed Bristo off waivers from the Rays on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays designated Bristo for assignment over the weekend and he has now latched onto another organization. Bristo, 28, tossed three scoreless relief innings for Tampa Bay in his major-league debut last month. He'll likely report to Triple-A Toledo to begin his tenure with his new organization.

Jackson (2-1) got the win against the Reds on Sunday, firing a scoreless ninth inning during which he allowed two hits and recorded two strikeouts.

Jackson labored some to preserve the 4-4 tie he'd entered the game under, allowing a single and double to Kevin Newman and Spencer Steer, respectively, to open the frame. However, he powered himself out of trouble with swinging strikeouts of Jonathan India and Tyler Stephenson before inducing an inning-ending groundout from Henry Ramos. Jackson was then rewarded with his resiliency via Esteury Ruiz's game-winning single in the home half of the ninth, giving him both his 2023 wins in addition to his first hold in the last four appearances.

Sewald (2-0) recorded the win in an extra-inning victory over the Blue Jays on Sunday, firing a scoreless ninth inning during which he allowed a hit and a walk.

Tasked with preserving an 8-8 tie when he entered in the ninth, Sewald successfully got the Mariners to extra innings despite having to work around some trouble. The right-hander was pitching on consecutive days for the first time since April 7-8, and he's essentially picked up where he left off during his successful 2022 -- Sewald has seven saves in addition to his two wins, and Sunday's scoreless effort lowered his ERA to an even 3.00 after he'd recently allowed an earned run apiece in back-to-back outings on April 22 and Tuesday.

Beeks (0-2) allowed five runs on four hits while managing to get through only two-thirds of an inning in the loss to the White Sox on Sunday.

Beeks came in to try and shut things down in the ninth with the Rays up 9-5 and put together an absolutely disastrous performance. Romy Gonzalez lined out to open up the inning and Beeks got a second out on a sacrifice fly, but he then allowed three singles, a double and hit a batter, which led to three runs for the Sox. He was replaced by Garrett Cleavinger with men on first and second, and he couldn't get bailed out after Cleavinger allowed an inherited runner to score on another base hit before surrendering a three-run walkoff blast to Andrew Vaughn. Beeks did not register a single whiff on 23 pitches and now has an inflated 7.43 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 8:8 K:BB over 13.1 innings.

Voth (1-1) walked two and struck out two over two scoreless and hitless innings, earning the win Sunday over the Tigers.

This was just the third time in 10 appearances this season that Voth wasn't changed with a run. All three of his scoreless efforts have come over his last four outings. The right-hander has a 5.52 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB across 14.2 innings as a low-leverage reliever this year. He's also picked up two holds. Voth's biggest problem has been home runs -- he gave up five long balls over his first five appearances but has since kept the ball in the yard.

Pressly struck out one batter in a perfect inning to earn a save over Philadelphia on Sunday.

Pressly needed just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to close out the 4-3 win. He didn't pick up his first save until April 21 but now has three in his last four outings. The veteran righty has also turned in six straight scoreless appearances, lowering his season ERA to 3.97 across 11.1 frames.

Estevez picked up the save during Sunday's 3-0 win over the Brewers, tossing a perfect ninth inning while striking out two.

Estevez entered with a a three-run lead and retired William Contreras, Brian Anderson and Rowdy Tellez in order, including back-to-back strikeouts to start the frame. The right-hander is a perfect 6-for-6 in save opportunities and is currently the Angels' top closer with Jose Quijada (elbow) and Ryan Tepera (shoulder) on the injured list.

Cano picked up the save during Sunday's 5-3 win over Detroit, tossing 1.1 perfect innings while striking out two.

Cano entered a 4-3 game in the eighth with two on and two out. He struck out Jake Rogers to escape the jam, and with Felix Bautista likely unavailable after pitching three of the last four days, Cano came back out for the ninth. He retired Andy Ibanez, Zach McKinstry and Riley Greene in order to secure his second save in as many tries. Cano hasn't allowed a hit, run or walk across nine outings (11 innings) and has 12 strikeouts.

Garcia blew the save during Sunday's 10-8 loss to the Mariners, allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Garcia replaced Anthony Bass in a one-run game with two on and two out in the eighth. He got out of the inning by striking out Taylor Trammell, who hit a grand slam earlier in the contest, and he came out for the ninth with Jordan Romano and Erik Swanson presumably unavailable after pitching Friday and Saturday. Garcia walked the leadoff hitter in the ninth and surrendered a two-out, game-tying RBI single to J.P. Crawford before getting out of the frame. It was Garcia's second blown save in as many chances, and he likely won't get many additional opportunities with Romano the team's clear-cut closer.

Brash picked up the save during Sunday's 10-8 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one hit and zero walks across a scoreless 10th inning. He struck out two.

Paul Sewald pitched a scoreless ninth to send the game into extras, and with Andres Munoz (shoulder) still on the injured list, Brash was given his fourth save opportunity of the season after Seattle scored two runs in the top of the 10th. The right-hander was able secure his first save despite giving up a single to George Springer, and he recorded multiple strikeouts for a ninth time this season. Brash has three blown saves and has an ERA of 4.85, but his 26:5 K:BB through 13 innings is encouraging.
