The Tigers selected Foley's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

With Michael Fulmer landing on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain, a spot has opened up for Foley on the major-league roster. This marks Foley's first promotion to the big leagues. The right-hander has posted a 3.60 ERA and 10:4 K:BB across 10 innings at Triple-A Toledo this season. He'll look to make his major-league debut out of the Detroit bullpen in the coming days.

Fulmer was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right shoulder strain, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Fulmer has been unavailable in recent days because of what the Tigers described as fatigue. The right-hander has now been officially diagnosed with a shoulder strain and will require an IL stint. It's unclear when he could be able to return to the Detroit bullpen, but his placement on the injured list can be backdated to June 3, leaving him eligible to be reinstated June 13. With four saves and a 1.35 ERA to his name since the beginning of May, Fulmer had emerged as a key piece at the back of the Detroit bullpen, but his absence likely paves the way for Gregory Soto and/or Jose Cisnero to pick up most of the closing chances.

Ottavino retired the side in the eighth inning of Saturday's 7-3 win over the Yankees.

Ottavino was protecting a four-run lead, so he was not credited with a hold, but he retired the heart of the order: DJ LeMahieu, Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge. It was his 10th consecutive scoreless outing, during which he's given up three hits and five walks while striking out 11 over 8.2 innings. He had an inconsistent start with his new club but has settled in with a 2.78 ERA and 1.28 WHIP.

Trivino earned the save over the Rockies on Saturday, pitching a scoreless inning during which he gave up one hit and struck out one.

Trivino was called upon in the ninth inning to protect a three-run lead. He gave up a two-out single but nothing more to notch his eighth save. Since yielding five runs in a disastrous outing May 5, Trevino has not allowed an earned run over his subsequent nine outings covering 9.1 innings.

Green (0-4) allowed four runs on four hits and struck out one in two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss versus Boston on Saturday.

Green was hit hard, as Enrique Hernandez and Christian Vazquez each tagged him for RBI doubles. Bobby Dalbec added a two-run home run as insurance for Boston. Despite the rough outing, Green still has a 3.14 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 27:7 K:BB across 28.2 innings this year. He's added two saves, eight holds and a blown save in a high-leverage role.

Barnes struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Yankees.

Brandon Workman walked two batters before Barnes entered the game with two outs in the ninth inning. Barnes retired Kyle Higashioka on five pitches for the save. The right-hander is now 14-for-15 in save chances this year. He's posted a 2.49 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 45:5 K:BB across 25.1 innings as Boston's unquestioned closer.

Canterino has been placed on the minor-league injured list with a strained right elbow, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Canterino is one of the Twins' more interesting pitching prospects. The 2019 second-round pick had gotten off to an excellent start through four outings for High-A Cedar Rapids, striking out an incredible 51.5 percent of opposing batters en route to a 1.00 ERA and 0.72 WHIP. The severity of his injury is not yet clear, but elbow issues are certainly never a good sign for a pitcher.

Brasier (calf) is now dealing with a concussion and a cut above his ear after Friday's comebacker incident, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

The reliever is now resting at home after the scary incident in Friday's simulated game, when he took a line drive to the head and required an overnight stay in the hospital. The concussion comes at an extremely unfortunate time for Brasier, as he was nearing his return to the Boston bullpen.

Santiago (0-1) was handed the loss Friday against the Angels, allowing an earned run on two hits and a walk while recording five strikeouts over three innings.

Manager Scott Servais leveraged Santiago's stretched-out arm for some valuable frames in what turned into a bullpen game for the Mariners when spot starter Robert Dugger was chased after just 2.1 innings. Santiago missed plenty of bats against his old Angels squad, but the fourth-inning solo home run he surrendered to Jose Rojas turned out to be the difference in the game.

Jax will be added to the Twins' roster ahead of Saturday's game against the Royals, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

The righty has impressed in Triple-A this season, pitching 27 innings across five starts with a 3.33 ERA, 29 strikeouts and no home runs allowed. Jax will have the opportunity to carve out a considerable role for himself in a struggling Twins pitching staff.
