Colome (1-1) picked up the win Thursday after tossing a scoreless ninth frame against the Red Sox. He allowed one hit and no walks while striking out two.

Colome came into a tied ninth inning and held things in check to position Minnesota for the win. The 32-year-old let Christian Arroyo break through with a double but otherwise stood his ground. It was a reassuring bounce-back outing for Colome after he imploded for three runs on four hits in his last appearance. Colome has tallied two saves so far this season.

Sulser was returned to the Orioles' alternate training site Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Sulser was called up as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against Seattle. He appeared in the second game of the twin bill and allowed one hit and no walks while striking out two in one scoreless inning. Despite having tossed three scoreless innings in two relief appearances this year, he'll continue to work at the team's alternate camp.

Puk (biceps) recently threw from 90 feet, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Puk's recent throwing session marked just his second since he was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left biceps strain April 7. Manager Bob Melvin said Thursday that Puk still doesn't have a timetable for his return, but it's encouraging to see the southpaw resume throwing.

Kay has been recalled by the Blue Jays to start Thursday's game against the Royals, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

Kay was sent to the Blue Jays' alternate training site to begin the regular season, but he'll make his season debut Thursday after Ross Stripling (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The southpaw made 13 relief appearances for Toronto last year, posting a 5.14 ERA and 1.71 WHIP in 21 innings. Since the Blue Jays have two scheduled off days next week, it's not yet clear whether Kay will remain in the rotation after starting Thursday's game.

Jimenez was recalled by the Tigers on Thursday.

Jimenez failed to break camp with the Tigers this year but will join the major-league bullpen after outfielder Nomar Mazara (abdomen) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. The right-hander led the Tigers with five saves in 2020, but it's not yet clear whether he'll factor into the late-inning mix for Detroit in the near future.

Green (0-2) recorded no outs before yielding a walkoff solo home run to earn the loss in Wednesday's 5-4 defeat against Toronto.

The righty had previously been stellar in 2021, not allowing a single earned run and walking only one batter in 7.2 innings pitched before Bo Bichette launched a hanging slider out to the opposite field Wednesday. Regardless, Green remains New York's most reliable high-leverage reliever after Aroldis Chapman for the time being, and he'll still have a critical role once Zack Britton (elbow) returns later in the season.

Sulser was added as the 27th man for Thursday's doubleheader against the Mariners.

Sulser logged two scoreless innings with three strikeouts prior to getting sent down earlier this season. He will offer bullpen depth during the twin bill before being sent back to the alternate site.

Fleming (0-1) allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out two across five innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Rangers.

Fleming allowed only a solo home run to Nate Lowe, but didn't receive any run support and took the loss. He pitched well based on his ability to keep the ball on the ground, with nine of his 15 outs coming via groundout. This effort marked Fleming's first start of the season, and he projects to fill the fifth starter role in the Rays' rotation for the time being. Currently, he lines up to make his next start Monday at Kansas CIty.

Fulmer (1-0) allowed two runs on three hits across five innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Astros. He walked one and struck out two.

Fulmer was solid if not spectacular against a potent Houston lineup, and it earned the righty his first win in the majors since 2018. It's been a long road back for Fulmer, who missed all of 2019 following Tommy John surgery then logged only 27.2 innings last season as the Tigers eased him back into action. With Julio Teheran (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list, Fulmer could stick in the rotation for a bit, though Spencer Turnbull's return from the COVID-19 injured list will complicate matters. For now, Fulmer is lined up to start again Tuesday against Pittsburgh, and he'll look to build on this positive outing.

Barnes picked up his second save of the season in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Twins. He walked one and struck out two across his lone inning on the mound.

Barnes slammed the door shut in the seventh -- and final -- inning of the game, though he wasn't as composed as one would've expected and only tossed 10 of his 18 pitches for strikes. He fanned two in the process, though, and now owns a 14:2 K:BB over his first seven innings covering his first six appearances of the campaign.
