Joel Peguero RP | SF
Giants' Joel Peguero: Dealing with hamstring injury
Peguero suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's 19-6 win over the Rockies, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Peguero pitched one-third of an inning before sustaining the injury in the bottom of the eighth. The right-hander missed the entire first month of the season while recovering from a Grade 2 hamstring strain that he suffered during spring training, and he could be headed for another stint on the injured list.

Giants' Joel Peguero: Exits early Sunday
Peguero (undisclosed) exited Sunday's contest against the Rockies in the bottom of the eighth inning, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Peguero entered the contest with the Giants up 17-6 heading into the bottom of the eighth. The right-hander got Willi Castro to fly out to open the frame, but he then pulled up lame while trying to field an infield single off the bat of Tyler Freeman in the following at-bat. It's unclear what injury Peguero may be dealing with, but JT Brubaker replaced him on the mound versus Colorado.

Trevor Megill RP | MIL
Brewers' Trevor Megill: Locks down save No. 8
Megill secured the save Sunday against the Astros, striking out two in a clean ninth inning.
It's worth noting Abner Uribe picked up a hold in a spotless eighth inning, as the pendulum in Milwaukee's closer committee could be swinging back in Megill's favor. Both hard-throwing right-handers figure to continue splitting ninth-inning work in some capacity, but Megill has nailed down each of the club's past three save opportunities. Through 21 innings, Megill has a 4.29 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 27:6 K:BB while converting eight of his nine save chances.

Cam Sanders RP | BAL
Pirates' Cam Sanders: Headed back to Triple-A
The Pirates optioned Sanders to Triple-A Indianapolis after Sunday's 9-3 win over the Twins.
Sanders will return to Indianapolis after being called up before Sunday's contest and tossing a scoreless seventh inning while striking out a batter in Pittsburgh's victory. The 29-year-old should get another look with the big club at some point later in the season when the Pirates are in need of a fresh relief arm.

John King RP | MIA
Marlins' John King: Takes loss as opener
King (1-1) took the loss against the Mets on Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and no walks with two strikeouts over 1.2 innings.
King opened the game and took the loss, as he was charged with two of the 10 runs the Mets scored against the Marlins in a bullpen game. The southpaw owns a 2.52 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB with three holds and one save across 25 innings this season, and Sunday's appearance was likely a one-off while the Marlins sort through their depleted rotation.

Austin Warren RP | NYM
Mets' Austin Warren: Opening Monday's game
Warren will serve as the Mets' opening pitcher for Monday's game versus the Mariners, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.
Warren will draw the first start of his major-league career, although he will likely be limited to just an inning or two before the Mets turn the game over to the bullpen. Southpaw Sean Manaea is likely to handle a bulk-relief role in the series opener in Seattle.

Clayton Beeter RP | WAS
Nationals' Clayton Beeter: Grabs fourth save
Beeter picked up the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Padres, working around a hit while striking out one in the ninth inning.
After throwing 22 pitches to earn the save Saturday, Beeter got the call again in the ninth inning a day later, and he got the job done to earn his fourth save this season. Beeter has been sharp of late, turning in six straight scoreless appearances and allowing just three hits in that span (6.1 innings) as he looks to have solidified his standing as Washington's primary closer. His ERA is down to 2.30 through 15.2 innings this season with a 1.21 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB.

Sam Moll RP | CIN
Reds' Sam Moll: Earns one-out save
Moll earned a one-out save in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta, allowing no hits and one walk with no strikeouts in the ninth inning.
Moll was called on to relieve the struggling Tony Santillan with two men on and two outs in the ninth inning to face lefty Michael Harris. He walked Harris before inducing a game-ending groundout to earn his first save of the season. It was likely just a matchup-driven decision with Santillan reeling, but the 34-year-old Moll has put together a strong campaign, posting a 2.49 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across 25.1 innings.
-
Shane Drohan RP | MIL
Brewers' Shane Drohan: Set to start Monday
Drohan will start Monday's game against the Giants, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Drohan will be making his second start of the season, after tossing 2.2 innings in his Milwaukee debut back on April 8. Since then, Drohan has excelled in a relief role for Milwaukee, accruing a 1.82 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB across 24.2 innings. The left-hander has thrown 39-plus pitches in seven of his 11 outings this season, so he should be able to provide some quality length Monday even if he isn't built up to handle a full starter's workload.

Andrew Nardi RP | MIA
Marlins' Andrew Nardi: Facing extended absence
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Nardi is expected to miss about three months after landing on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a stress reaction in his left ribcage, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Nardi could be back with the Marlins for the final stretch of the season, but any problems during his rehab program could result in him missing the rest of the campaign. The rib injury is another tough setback on the health front for Nardi, who missed the entire 2025 season due to back problems.
