The Giants reinstated Foley (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The right-hander is ready to make his Giants debut after missing the first few months of the season while completing his recovery from arthroscopic shoulder surgery in May of 2025. Foley recorded 28 saves with a 3.15 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 46:20 K:BB across 60 innings for the Tigers in 2024, but he failed to make the club's Opening Day roster last year prior to suffering the shoulder injury. He's likely to open in a low-leverage relief role for San Francisco.

The Mets optioned Myers to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

The right-hander continues to be shuttled between Triple-A and the majors, with Sunday's transaction being the fourth time he's been optioned this season and the third time in the past two weeks. Myers had a strong start to the year with a 3.25 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB across his first 15 outings, but he's now surrendered 22 runs in his past 11 appearances (10.80 ERA).

The Marlins placed Kempner on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right elbow sprain.

Kempner was called upon to pitch Thursday against Seattle and Saturday versus Cleveland and struggled in both games, allowing four runs on five hits with three strikeouts and two walks over 2.1 innings. He'll now be sidelined until at least July 27.

The Marlins recalled Fulton from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

The left-hander was sent to Jacksonville in late June but will get another look in the big-league bullpen after William Kempner (elbow) was placed on the injured list. Fulton has pitched well in his three MLB appearances, allowing two earned runs with a 6:3 K:BB across seven innings. He could be called upon to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen Sunday, as starter Tyler Phillips will be taking the hill on three days' rest and is expected to operate with a more limited pitch count than usual.

The Reds recalled Petty from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Petty will provide the Reds with a fresh arm out of the bullpen heading into Sunday's series finale versus the Cubs. Though the Reds have a temporary opening in the rotation after Nick Lodolo (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, Petty may not be in consideration to replace him after he recently transitioned to a bullpen role at Louisville. Petty turned in a 6.17 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 10 starts at Triple-A before tossing a pair of scoreless innings in relief in his last two outings.

Montgomery walked one and struck out two across one inning to earn the save in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Gregory Soto earned the save in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader, so he was unavailable for the latter contest. Montgomery filled the void, allowing only a leadoff walk before retiring the next three batters he faced. Montgomery has had an inconsistent season, though he has turned in six straight appearances without being charged with a run, compiling an 11:2 K:BB across 5.1 innings in that span.

Pfaadt (3-1) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out two without walking a batter over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Pfaadt threw 55 of 77 pitches for strikes to keep a dangerous lineup in check. He's allowed just three runs over 15.2 innings across three starts since rejoining the Diamondbacks' rotation in late June. Pfaadt also looks to have some extra security in the rotation since Zac Gallen (elbow) is likely headed to the injured list. Pfaadt is at a 4.70 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 41:18 K:BB through 53.2 innings over 16 games (six starts) this season, but he appears to have made a breakthrough during his most recent stint in the minors.

Thornton recorded a save against the Reds on Saturday, retiring the only batter he faced on a groundout.

Ryan Rolison was handed the ball in the ninth inning with Chicago up 5-3, but he was lifted with two outs after putting runners on second and third base. Thornton was summoned to go head-to-head with Sal Stewart, and the game ended when Stewart grounded out to second. Thornton thus logged his third save of the season and notched his ninth scoreless appearance across his past 10 outings. Since Daniel Palencia (elbow) landed on the injured list June 16, four different Cubs relievers have notched a save, and three (including Thornton) have posted multiple saves. One of those three pitchers (Jordan Wicks) has since been sent down to the minors, so it appears Thornton and Jacob Webb are sharing closer duties for the time being.

Miller allowed a hit and struck out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Blue Jays.

Miller was able to lock things down in a game that saw some back-and-forth scoring in the early innings. He's a perfect 24-for-24 in save conversions after this outing and has given up just one earned run in his past 12 appearances. Miller has added a superb 0.93 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 71:13 K:BB across 38.2 innings.

Soto recorded his 12th save of the season in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers, giving up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning. He failed to strike out a batter.

The veteran lefty collected his first save since June 16 as he attempts to remain in the late-inning picture for Pittsburgh. Despite Soto's clean effort Saturday, he's been tagged for runs in six of 13 appearances since the beginning of June, stumbling to an 8.76 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB over 12.1 innings during that span.
