The Rangers optioned Winn to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

The right-hander surrendered four runs (three earned) in his last two outings and will lose his place on the big-league roster. Winn had held his opponents scoreless prior to that and has a 1.59 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB across 17 big-league innings this year, so he should be back with the Rangers before too long.

The Rangers recalled Dunning from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

The right-hander was optioned to Round Rock on Friday but will make a quick return to the majors with Evan Carter (personal) being placed on the bereavement list. Dunning has made just two appearances with the Rangers this season and has a 4.47 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 49:18 K:BB across 46.1 innings at Triple-A.

Loaisiga (illness) made relief appearances in Sunday's 12-5 win over the Athletics and Monday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays, striking out two and allowing two hits and no walks over 2.1 scoreless innings.

Loaisiga departed his previous appearance back on June 24 against the Reds due to an illness, but he was out of commission for only a few days before returning to action. The veteran reliever owns a 3.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB and has collected four holds over 19 innings with the Yankees this season.

Fisher walked one and struck out three in a scoreless seventh inning Monday to record his third hold of the season in a win over the Yankees.

The Blue Jays needed five relievers to complete the final four innings, and Fisher was the most effective of the bunch as the carved up the bottom of New York's order after Toronto took the lead in the bottom of the sixth. Fisher went the entire month of June without allowing a run, delivering a 0.68 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB over 13.1 innings, and two of his three holds have come in the last week as he works his way into a higher-leverage role in the bullpen.

Green walked one batter in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning to record his fifth hold of the season during Monday's win over the Yankees.

The veteran righty got the final two outs in the eighth inning before handing the ball off to closer Jeff Hoffman for the ninth. It was Green's first hold since May 22 as his exposure to high-leverage spots has been limited, and he wrapped up June with a 4.35 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB over 10.1 innings. With Yimi Garcia (shoulder) set to return this week, Green will likely remain in a middle-relief role rather than being part of Toronto's regular setup crew.

Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Monday that Santos (knee) threw three "light bullpens" last week, Circling Seattle Sports reports.

The hope is that Santos can return to the Mariners' bullpen before the end of July, but it's a rough timeline. Santos has been sidelined since late April with right knee inflammation and will need a rehab assignment before being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Marsh (shoulder) has been shut down from throwing and will be re-evaluated July 9, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Marsh has experienced multiple setbacks in his recovery from a right shoulder impingement that emerged at the start of spring training. During his initial rehab attempt in early April, the right-hander appeared in extended spring training games, but in this latest effort, he had not progressed to facing hitters before being shut down again, per manager Matt Quatraro. The 27-year-old has made all 33 career starts since 2023, including 25 starts last season in which he posted a 4.53 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 129.0 innings. His timeline to return remains uncertain, and even if healthy, Marsh may face an uphill battle to reclaim a spot in the starting rotation.

Hicks struck out one over a scoreless eighth inning in Monday's 13-6 win over the Reds.

Hicks made his debut for the Red Sox after being acquired from San Francisco in the Rafael Devers trade and brought 100-mph heat to the table. Although Hicks entered with Boston ahead by four runs, manager Alex Cora told Christopher Smith of MassLive.com that the plan calls for the newly acquired reliever to pitch in high-leverage spots.

Miller picked up the save Monday, allowing just one hit while striking out one over an inning against the Rays.

Miller needed just eight pitches, six of them strikes, to finish off the Rays and earn his 16th save of the season. The 26-year-old's 4.70 ERA isn't pretty, but the closer's strikeout numbers remain among the best of the game. After picking up his 50th strikeout of the season Monday, his K/9 is up to 14.7, the third-best mark in MLB amongst relievers with at least 30 innings pitched.

Manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Cruz (oblique) has a "high grade" strain, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

"Obviously, that will be some time," Boone added. Cruz was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday after he was injured in the weight room Sunday. Cruz is likely looking at an extended absence. The 35-year-old holds a 3.00 ERA and impressive 54:14 K:BB across 33 innings of relief this season.
