Treinen (shoulder) played catch and made over 60 throws Sunday, the Associated Press reports.

Treinen has been playing catch for over a week, and his activity Sunday suggests that he is progressing in his rehab from right shoulder soreness. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted that the right-handed reliever was fatigued but pain-free following the session. Treinen is currently on the 60-day IL and isn't expected to be ready to return for at least another month.

The Pirates plan to call up Wilson from Triple-A Indianapolis to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader in St. Louis, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Pittsburgh is expected to designate Wilson as the 27th man for the twin bill, so he'll likely be sent back to Triple-A immediately after the spot start. Wilson submitted a 3.32 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB in 19 innings in his three starts for Indianapolis after losing his spot in the big-league rotation and getting optioned to the minors May 23.

The Phillies selected Kelly's contract from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Kelly joins the Philadelphia bullpen as a replacement for right-hander James Norwood, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The 29-year-old right-hander will head to the majors for the first time in his career after turning in a 5.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB across 18 innings at Lehigh Valley.

The Rockies optioned Lawrence to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Lawrence was up with the Rockies for only one day after he was designated as the club's 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader with the Padres. He didn't appear in either end of the twin bill.

Lambert (elbow) was placed on the 7-day injured list June 11, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Lambert has had a tough time bouncing back after undergoing Tommy John surgery in July of 2020. He was sidelined to begin the season due to forearm pain but was activated to make his 2022 debut May 26. Since, he managed 8.2 innings with Triple-A Albuquerque before landing back on the injured list. There is no known timetable for his return.

Diaz saved Sunday's 4-1 win against the Angels, allowing one walk with five strikeouts in 1.2 innings.

Diaz was brought in during the eighth to face the heart of Los Angeles' lineup, then stayed in for the ninth and struck out the side to earn his first save since May 27. Manager Buck Showalter was comfortable letting Diaz throw 28 pitches with a scheduled off day Monday, and the 28-year-old now sports a 2.13 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 48 strikeouts in 25.1 innings.

Bard saved Sunday's 4-2 win against the Padres, striking out the side in a scoreless ninth inning.

Pitching for the second straight day, Bard struck out Jake Cronenworth, Manny Machado and Luke Voit to record his 13th save, placing him sixth in MLB. The 36-year-old has been on a tear over the past month, firing 13 scoreless innings across his last 10 appearances while recording 16 strikeouts compared to only three walks.

Jansen allowed one hit over a scoreless inning Sunday, striking out one and earning a save over the Pirates.

After giving up a leadoff single to Daniel Vogelbach, Jansen retired three straight batters to preserve the 5-3 win. He's now converted six straight save chances and eight of his last nine. The 34-year-old lowered his season ERA to 3.25 with 18 saves across 27 appearances.

Norris allowed five runs on three hits and three walks across two innings of relief in Sunday's loss to the Yankees. He struck out five.

Norris struck out a season-high five batters, but a pair of home runs turned it into an ugly outing overall. The lefty has had plenty of those this year, as he's now saddled with a 6.75 ERA across 24 innings of work. He'll remain a low-leverage option who doesn't have much fantasy appeal.

Thompson (6-2) allowed five runs (three earned) on three hits and three walks while failing to strike out a batter in two-thirds of an inning to take the loss in Sunday's game against the Yankees.

The Yankees' bats were hot throughout Sunday's matchup, as they combined to score 18 runs. Thompson was handed his second straight defeat during the blowout loss, and he's been charged with back-to-back losses after picking up four consecutive wins between late May and early June. The righty has posted a 3.67 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 49 innings over 14 appearances (six starts) to begin the season. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against Atlanta on Friday.
