The Orioles optioned Raquet to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Trey Gibson, who will be the Orioles' starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Rays. Raquet had just been recalled Tuesday and did not make an appearance during this stint with Baltimore.

The Royals designated Falter for assignment Wednesday.

Kansas City will drop Falter from its 40-man roster after the veteran lefty was roughed up for nine earned runs in 4.1 innings over his previous two starts, during which he served as an opener in bullpen games. The 29-year-old didn't fare much better in his three relief appearances with Kansas City before that, yielding six earned runs over 5.1 innings. The Royals will replace Falter with a fresh relief arm in right-hander Mason Black, who was recalled from Triple-A Omaha ahead of Wednesday's series finale versus the Yankees.

The Blue Jays selected Voth's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

Voth will provide the bullpen with some protection after the Blue Jays used five pitchers in Tuesday's win over the Marlins. He's grabbed the roster spot vacated by Tanner Andrews.

The Blue Jays optioned Andrews to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

Andrews logged a pair of scoreless appearances after getting his first big-league promotion earlier this week. The Blue Jays are replacing him with a fresh bullpen arm in Austin Voth, who was called up from Triple-A.

The Rays placed Scholtens on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to a right wrist strain.

Scholtens presumably sustained the injury during his relief appearance against the Orioles on Monday, when he was charged with the loss and a blown save after surrendering five runs (three earned) on four hits over 1.1 innings. Tampa Bay signed right-hander Craig Kimbrel to a one-year deal and will have him take over Scholtens' spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen.

Davis (2-2) was tagged with the loss in Tuesday's extra-inning 5-3 loss to the Twins. He allowed three runs (two earned) on two hits and a walk across one inning. He struck out one.

Davis has made 13 relief appearances for the White Sox since his big-league debut April 25, and while he hasn't been bad, his 3.45 ERA across 15.2 innings doesn't stand out either. This outing snapped a streak of three consecutive scoreless appearances for the right-hander, while the earned runs were his first allowed since May 8. Davis has now given up eight runs (six earned) while posting a 12:8 K:BB in 13.2 innings since the beginning of the month.

Rogers (1-1) earned the win after tossing a scoreless 10th inning in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the White Sox. He allowed one hit and struck out one.

Rogers earned the win after the Twins closed things out in the 11th frame. His overall season numbers are shaky, as he owns a 3.54 ERA with a 1.57 WHIP in 20.1 innings across 23 outings. However, he's been turning things around of late and hasn't allowed runs, nor has he issued walks over his last eight appearances (6.2 innings), a span in which he has two saves, two holds and six strikeouts.

Gomez earned his third save of the season in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the White Sox. He allowed a run and struck out one in one inning of work.

Gomez entered the game in the 11th inning when the Twins had a three-run lead. Even though he allowed a run when an RBI single from Chase Meidroth scored Munetaka Murakami, Gomez managed to close the door on the win while tossing 11 of his 18 pitches for strikes. Gomez has gone 3-for-3 in save chances this season. Gomez remains a reliable arm in the late-inning mix and owns a 1.04 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 10 appearances (8.2 innings) in May.

Sabrowski (elbow) underwent an MRI on Tuesday which confirmed inflammation but no structural damage, MLB.com reports.

Sabrowski was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday after not appearing in a game since last week. The Guardians have not provided a timeline as of yet, but the MLB.com report suggests a possible return in July. The return timeline could change pending new information in the coming weeks.

Holderman allowed one hit and struck out one over a scoreless sixth inning in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Washington.

Holderman has been near perfect since the Guardians recalled him in late April, which is encouraging given that the team recently placed Erik Sabrowski (elbow), a high-leverage reliever, on the injured list. In 13 appearances since being called up, Holderman has allowed just one run on eight hits and three walks while striking out 19 over 16.1 innings. He told Tim Stebbins of MLB.com that health is the main reason for his success in 2026 after the reliever logged a 7.01 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 25.2 innings for the Pirates last year. While Tuesday's outing was in a low-leverage spot, manager Stephen Vogt has recently incorporated Holderman late into close games. Within the last week, he's earned two wins and a hold.
