Trivino (2-2) allowed two unearned runs on a hit and a walk over two-thirds of an inning in Monday's extra-inning loss to Seattle.

Trivino allowed the initial runner to score the game-tying run on a Ty France single in the bottom of the 10th inning. A Matt Olson error put runners on second and third, and Tom Murphy's sacrifice fly was enough to stick Trivino with the loss. It's just the second blown save in nine chances this year for the 29-year-old. He's added a 2.81 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 24:14 K:BB and four holds in 25.2 innings.

Feyereisen gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Monday to record his third save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Yankees.

A Rougned Odor double with two outs made things a bit interesting, but Feyereisen then struck out Miguel Andujar to end the threat. The right-hander has a win, save or blown save in all five of his appearances since joining Tampa Bay, and even if he doesn't completely usurp Diego Castillo in the ninth inning for the Rays, Feyereisen seems very comfortable in a high-leverage role.

Rogers (2-2) was the pitcher of record in Monday's 3-2 win over the Orioles in 10 innings after striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Starter Jose Berrios departed with the game tied 1-1 and a runner on first base when Rogers was summoned from the bullpen. Rogers was quickly able to extinguish a potential Orioles rally, striking out Anthony Santander on three pitches before inducing an inning-ending double play from Maikel Franco. The Twins then plated two runs in the top of the 10th, but Rogers didn't stick around for the save chance, which fell to Hansel Robles. Rather than leaning exclusively on a pitcher in future save scenarios, expect manager Rocco Baldelli continue to mix and match with Rogers and Robles in high-leverage late-inning situations.

Robles secured his fourth save of the season after allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk while striking out two in the 10th inning of Monday's 3-2 win over the Orioles.

Because he entered the game in the extra inning, Robles was on the mound with a runner (Maikel Franco) on second base. DJ Stewart's double to lead off the inning scored Franco and cut the Orioles' deficit to one, but Robles was able to close the door on the comeback attempt thereafter. Though Robles has converted four of his five save chances since entering the late-inning mix in mid May, he hasn't been dominant enough to completely steal the job away from Taylor Rogers. He's let in an earned or unearned run in four of his last five outings.

Lopez worked six innings while taking a no-decision Monday in the Orioles' 3-2 loss to the Twins in 10 innings. He gave up one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven.

Facing off against Minnesota for the second start in a row, Lopez came away with another quality start, but he was far more sharper this time around than he was on May 26. After issuing four walks against three strikeouts in the prior outing, Lopez pumped in two thirds of his pitches for strikes Monday while yielding only one extra-base hit (a double to Josh Donaldson). Despite the better results of late, Lopez still maintains a poor 5.29 ERA for the season, and he hasn't captured a win since April 16.

The Angels recalled Quijada from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Monday's game against the Giants.

He'll join the Angels as a replacement on the active roster for starter Jose Quintana (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. According to Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register, Patrick Sandoval will enter the six-man rotation in Quintana's stead, so Quijada will fill a bullpen role while he's up with the big club.

Chargois secured his third hold in a win over the Rangers on Sunday, uncorking a wild pitch before getting the final out of the seventh inning with a strikeout.

Chargois now has holds in three consecutive appearances, a span of 2.2 innings. The right-hander has been a highly effective addition to the bullpen since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma on May 9, as he's pitched to a 2.38 ERA and 0.71 WHIP while posting an 11:2 K:BB over 11.1 innings (10 appearances).

The Astros optioned Scrubb to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Scrubb will cede his spot on the active roster and in the Houston bullpen to Blake Taylor (ankle), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. After Scrubb posted a 1.90 ERA that was backed by shaky peripherals in 2020, regression has come hard for him thus far in 2021. Over his 13 innings out of the Houston bullpen, Scrubb has tagged for 11 earned runs on 14 hits and 10 walks.

Kittredge secured his third hold in a win over the Phillies on Sunday, allowing two hits and recording a strikeout over 1.1 scoreless innings.

The efficient 18-pitch outing extended what's been an extensive stretch of strong pitching for Kittredge, who's now working on a seven-appearance scoreless streak spanning a total of 9.2 innings. The right-hander has demonstrated stellar control during that span, posting an 11:1 K:BB while also picking up two wins, a save and two holds.

The Astros are activating Taylor (ankle) from the injured list ahead of Monday's game against the Red Sox , Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Taylor was placed on the injured list in mid-April with a severely sprained ankle. The southpaw has been rehabbing at Triple-A Sugar Land during the past week and will now rejoin the Astros' bullpen Monday against Boston.
