Carasiti picked up a save in the Rockies' 4-3 extra-inning win over the Red Sox on Monday. He allowed an unearned run on one hit in his lone inning of relief.

Carasiti allowed the "ghost runner" to score in the 10th inning but still closed out the narrow win. He's turned in 13 consecutive frames without allowing an earned run after getting tagged with six runs in his season debut May 21. He lowered his ERA to 3.86 with a 7:6 K:BB through 14 innings.

Iglesias allowed three runs on five hits in one inning of work during Monday's loss to Detroit. He struck out two and was charged with a blown save.

Tasked with holding on to a 5-2 lead, Iglesias coughed up three runs and allowed the Tigers to eventually win in the 10th inning. He was riding an 11.1-inning scoreless streak since his last blown save May 14. Iglesias saw his ERA jump to 4.02 with an 18:6 K:BB across 15.2 frames.

Doval walked two batters and allowed a hit in 1.1 scoreless frames while earning a save over the Cardinals on Monday.

Doval wasn't at his best Monday, tossing just 13 of his 27 pitches for strikes, but still managed to pick up his 17th save of the year. He's converted 14 consecutive saves since the start of May while dropping his season ERA to 1.86 through 29 frames. During that stretch, he's allowed just two earned runs with a 26:6 K:BB over 18 innings.

Naughton will be evaluated after he "felt a tug" in his left forearm during his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol told Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat on Monday.

Naughton lasted just three pitches before suffering the setback. He's missed nearly all of the season with the arm issue and clearly isn't going to be rejoining the St. Louis bullpen anytime soon.

Tests on Helsley's injured right forearm came back negative, but he will be shut down for several days, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Helsley felt tightness in his forearm while playing catch Sunday and was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. While it would appear he's not currently dealing with any structural damage, his absence could still be fairly lengthy since he'll need to be build back up after the shutdown period. Giovanny Gallegos will be the Cardinals' closer while Helsley is out.

The Diamondbacks optioned Ginkel to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

Ginkel's demotion clears room in the bullpen for lefty Joe Mantiply (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list. After winning a spot in Arizona's Opening Day bullpen, Ginkel scooped up three wins and one hold while pitching to a 2.76 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 29.1 innings. He should rank near the top of the list for a promotion the next time Arizona is in need of an extra relief arm.

The Diamondbacks designated Misiewicz for assignment Monday.

Misiewicz will be removed from a team's 40-man roster for the third time in 2023 after the Royals and Cardinals previously designated him for assignment. The 28-year-old lefty reliever was recently reinstated from the 15-day injured list after missing time with a calf strain. If Misiewicz isn't traded elsewhere or goes unclaimed off waivers, he'll likely remain in the Diamondbacks organization as relief depth at Triple-A Reno.

The Diamondbacks reinstated Mantiply (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

The 2022 All-Star will rejoin the Arizona bullpen after he had been on the shelf for just over a month with a right hamstring strain. Maniply received the green light to return from the IL after making a pair of minor-league rehab appearances last week.

The Brewers promoted Uribe from Double-A Biloxi to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

The right-hander will head to the International League after he dazzled over his 15 relief appearances at Biloxi, striking out 28 in 15 innings while allowing just three earned runs and 17 baserunners. Uribe already possesses a spot on the Brewers' 40-man roster, so it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to join the big-league bullpen by the end of the season if he continues to thrive with Nashville.

The Giants optioned Beck to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

Beck covered 4.1 innings over two relief appearances during the Giants' series with the Cubs this past weekend and wasn't likely to be available for the next couple of days, so San Francisco opted to swap him off the 26-man active roster for a fresh relief arm in Keaton Winn, who was called up from Triple-A. During his upcoming stint with Sacramento, Beck is expected to transition back into a starting role in the event he's needed in the San Francisco rotation later in 2023.
