Quijada (undisclosed) reported to the Angels' alternate training site Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Quijada missed all of camp for an undisclosed reason, but he's now rehabbing at the team's alternate training site as he works to get back into game shape. The left-hander isn't likely to join the 30-man roster even when he's ready for game action. If he does reach the majors this year, he's unlikely to have a significant role in the bullpen.

Hendriks was perfect over 1.1 innings with a strikeout to earn the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Angels.

Hendriks blew a save Friday versus the Angels, but his second outing of the year was much smoother. The 31-year-old closer had a career year with 25 saves and a 1.80 ERA in 75 outings in 2019. He's likely to have a long leash this year as a fairly secure closer.

Bolanos (0-1) allowed two unearned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one over two innings as he was charged with the loss Sunday against the Indians.

After he was almost removed from the 30-man roster Saturday, Bolanos made a spot start on short notice in Cleveland. He was somewhat effective at limiting baserunners, but he was put in line for the loss after giving up two unearned runs. The right-hander is unlikely to be a regular in the starting rotation but could be an option to make more spot starts if needed later in the year.

Cisnero (1-0) allowed no runs on one hit and no walks while striking out one over one inning as he earned the win Sunday against the Reds.

After giving up one run during his one-inning appearance Opening Day, Cisnero was sharp in the eighth inning of Sunday's 1-1 contest and earned the win after the Tigers were able to take the lead in the following half-inning. Despite the 31-year-old's rare win against the Reds, his fantasy value is limited as a late reliever who is unlikely to see many ninth-inning opportunities.

Hatch did not allow a hit but walked two and struck out three across 2.1 scoreless innings Sunday against the Rays.

Hatch walked a pair of batters in the first frame, but he managed to force a groundout to escape any damage. He worked effectively from there, not allowing another baserunner prior to being pulled from the game. Hatch had an impressive outing and may stick on the roster as a reliever, though it's expected that his time in the rotation will be short-lived due to the impending promotion of Nate Pearson.

Jimenez worked around two hits and a run to secure the save in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Jimenez was spotted a two-run lead, and he quickly gave up consecutive doubles that cut the lead in half. However, the righty buckled down and stranded the tying run at second base to secure his second save in as many days. Jimenez often makes things interesting in the ninth inning, but the rebuilding Tigers will likely give the 25-year-old a decently long leash to establish himself as the team's closer.

Giles (elbow) will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his injury, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Giles wasn't complaining about an injury during his appearance Sunday, but he displayed decreased velocity before he exited with what the team diagnosed as right elbow soreness for now. However, his MRI should provide more clarity regarding the injury. The 29-year-old missed several weeks last season with elbow issues, but manager Charlie Montoyo was unsure whether the injury is related to his past issues. Anthony Bass appears to be the favorite to take over in the ninth inning if Giles misses additional time.

Giles was diagnosed with right elbow soreness Sunday.

Giles came in during the ninth inning of Sunday's contest and recorded two outs, but he left with the athletic trainer after allowing one hit and three walks. It's unclear how much time the right-hander could miss as a result. If he's forced to miss additional time, Anthony Bass and Rafael Dolis could see increased opportunities as the Blue Jays' closer.

Lopez was removed from Sunday's loss to the Twins with tightness in his right shoulder.

The 26-year-old retired only two of the seven batters he faced and saw some reduced velocity on his fastball. Lopez is in line for the loss after allowing four runs on three hits and two walks. He'll be evaluated again Monday and is questionable for his next turn through the rotation.

Giles exited Sunday's game against the Rays with an apparent injury, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Giles entered for the ninth inning with a 4-2 lead and recorded two outs on six pitches, but he then looked increasingly off as he allowed one hit and three walks before leaving with the athletic trainer. He exited with the bases loaded and allowed two earned runs, though he wasn't charged with the blown save since they scored after he was pulled.
