  • Yunior Marte RP | CIN

    Giants' Yunior Marte: Back with San Fran for doubleheader

    The Giants will recall Marte from Triple-A Sacramento to serve as the team's 29th man for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Nationals, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Less than a week after being optioned to Sacramento, Marte is rejoining the Giants, but he's expected to be up with the big club for only a day before returning to the minors. Marte will give the Giants an extra arm out of the bullpen for the twin bill, but he'll likely be ticketed for lower-leverage work.

  • Nationals' Francisco Perez: Up as extra man

    The Nationals will call up Perez from Triple-A Rochester ahead of the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with Arizona, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

    Perez will be designated as Washington's 29th man for the twin bill and gives the club an extra left-hander in the bullpen, though he's unlikely to see high-leverage innings. The 24-year-old allowed three runs in 6.2 innings in his MLB debut season for Cleveland in 2021.

  • Tyler Gilbert RP | CHW

    Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Picking up spot start

    The Diamondbacks plan to call up Gilbert from Triple-A Reno to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Nationals, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

    Arizona is likely to make the transaction official following the front end of the doubleheader, with Gilbert expected to be designated as the Diamondbacks' 29th man for the twin bill. Gilbert notably tossed a no-hitter against the Padres in his MLB debut a season ago, but his 3.15 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 40 innings with the big club was supported by poor peripherals (7.6 K-BB%, 38.6 percent groundball rate, 5.09 xFIP). He'll likely be headed back to Reno after his spot start Tuesday.

  • Dillon Peters RP | PIT

    Pirates' Dillon Peters: Three shutout innings

    Peters allowed one walk while striking out three without surrendering a hit or a run across three innings Monday against Milwaukee.

    Peters entered the game in the fifth inning, after Zach Thompson was roughed up for six earned runs. He delivered three strong innings as a bulk reliever out of the bullpen and now has seven scoreless frames of work across his three appearances on the season. Peters served as a starter for Pittsburgh in 2021, and it's possible he returns to that role at some point in the new campaign.

  • Blake Treinen RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Out for Atlanta series

    Manager Dave Roberts said Monday after the Dodgers' 7-4 win over Atlanta that Treinen won't be available for the final two games of the series due to an arm issue, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Roberts noted that Treinen's arm was "barking" after his appearance in the Dodgers' home opener last Thursday, which is why the reliever hasn't been used since. Fortunately, the skipper relayed that Treinen felt fine while playing catch Monday and is on track to avoid the injured list, but the Dodgers will play it safe by keeping him out a few more days. Treinen is expected to be ready to go when the Dodgers open a three-game series in San Diego on Friday.

  • Dodgers' Craig Kimbrel: Records third save

    Kimbrel picked up a save against the Braves on Monday, hurling a scoreless inning during which he struck out one.

    Kimbrel struck out Alex Dickerson to start the frame, but a passed ball allowed Dickerson to reach base. That didn't phase Kimbrel much, as he induced a double play before getting Ozzie Albies to ground out to end the game. The right-hander has secured a save in each of his three appearances this season and has allowed only one run over three innings thus far.

  • Taylor Rogers RP | MIN

    Padres' Taylor Rogers: Picks up another save

    Rogers earned a save against the Reds on Monday, tossing a scoreless ninth inning during which he issued one walk and didn't strike out any batters.

    Rogers had a three-run lead to work with upon his entrance, and he worked around a two-out walk to nail down the save. The southpaw leads the National League in that category with five on the season, and he has yet to give up a run across five appearances. Rogers' standout start with San Diego has made him the unquestioned closer at this point in the campaign.

  • Sean Manaea SP | NYM

    Padres' Sean Manaea: Impresses again in win

    Manaea (2-1) earned the win over Cincinnati on Monday, hurling six innings during which he gave up one run on six hits and two walks while striking out six.

    Manaea walked two hitters but was very efficient in getting the ball over the plate, recording first-pitch strikes to 21 of 26 batters and throwing just 18 balls across 78 pitches. The southpaw registered his third straight quality start --- the most in the league -- to begin the campaign after recording 15 such efforts across 32 starts last season. Manaea is off to a blazing beginning with the Padres, posting a 1.42 ERA, 19:5 K:BB and 2-1 record over three starts. His next appearance is expected to be a tough home matchup against the Dodgers on Sunday.

  • Alex Colome RP | CHW

    Rockies' Alex Colome: Notches first save

    Colome walked one batter in a scoreless ninth inning and earned a save over the Phillies on Monday.

    After blowing a save chance in his first 2022 appearance, Colome notched his first save of the year Monday. He issued a two-out walk to Rhys Hoskins but had no trouble finishing off the 4-1 victory. Colome is now sporting a 2.45 ERA through 3.2 innings this season.

  • Rockies' Lucas Gilbreath: Ready for 2022 debut

    Gilbreath (illness) was activated from the injured list Monday, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

    Gilbreath began the year on the COVID-19 injured list, but he's since been activated after making a rehab appearance for the Triple-A Isotopes on Sunday. He issued a walk and struck out one in a scoreless frame against Tacoma.
