Reyes saved Tuesday's 3-2 victory against the Dodgers, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk with one strikeout in the ninth inning.

Reyes was called upon after St. Louis took a one-run lead in the top of the ninth and delivered his 16th save, good for second in baseball. The Cardinals' closer owns a microscopic 0.62 ERA, though his 1.38 WHIP -- the result of a startling 26 walks in 29 innings -- is cause for some concern.

Gallegos (3-1) picked up the win in Tuesday's 3-2 victory over the Dodgers after allowing two runs on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts across two innings.

Gallegos was brought in for the seventh with St. Louis holding a 2-0 edge and promptly surrendered a Matt Beaty two-run homer to tie the game. An Edmundo Sosa RBI single in the top of the ninth eventually put Gallegos in line for the win. Though he's been charged with blown saves in two of his last three appearances (and a career-worst four times overall), Gallegos is still in the midst of another strong season with a 2.45 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 39:8 K:BB in 33 innings.

Crowe (0-4) was charged with the loss Tuesday against the Royals after surrendering eight runs on eight hits and a pair of walks while striking out three across four innings.

Crowe started off strong, holding the Royals to a single run over the first three innings. It was all downhill from there, starting with a two-run homer by Salvador Perez in the fourth. After loading up the bases with no outs in the fifth, Crowe remained in the game to face one more batter and served up a first-pitch grand slam to Andrew Benintendi. The right-hander, who was lifted after 1.1 innings in his last start, has given up 15 runs in his last 10.1 frames and remains winless on the season.

Weathers (2-2) was charged with the loss against the Cubs on Tuesday after giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two across five innings.

All of his damage came via a pair of home runs, including a two-run shot by Patrick Wisdom in the second inning and a two-run homer by Willson Contreras in the fifth. Weathers, who was facing the Cubs for the first time in his career, tossed 88 pitches (57 for strikes), eclipsing the 80-pitch mark for the second time this season. The southpaw has now completed at least four innings in each of his four starts since returning to the rotation. Through 13 appearances (seven starts) this year, Weather has compiled a a sturdy 2.06 ERA and 0.99 WHIP. He's projected to take the mound again Monday for a rematch with the Cubs.

Kimbrel struck out all three batters he faced and recorded the save in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

Kimbrel was dominant as he picked up his 13th save of the season, which has been the norm so far for the veteran reliever. He now has a miniscule 0.78 ERA across 23 innings of work, and he's displayed great swing-and-miss stuff with 39 strikeouts already. Kimbrel has turned back the clock so far in 2021, looking like the perennial All-Star that he was earlier in his career.

Treinen (undisclosed) is expected to be available Tuesday against the Cardinals, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The 32-year-old was unavailable for Monday's contest because his "body didn't feel right," and manager Dave Roberts declined to provide any specifics on the issue. Regardless, it appears to be a minor concern since Treinen is expected to be available Tuesday.

The Giants promoted Leone from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group reports.

The righty has excelled in nine Triple-A innings this year, posting a 1.00 ERA with 16 strikeouts and just three walks. Having pitched in 241 career games, Leone should provide added depth to the Giants' bullpen.

Manager David Bell said Tuesday that Hoffman (shoulder) could go on a rehab assignment later this month, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Bell was far from specific in updating the right-hander's return timeline, but it appears evident that he's a ways out from going on a rehab assignment. Given that he'll likely need to make multiple rehab outings when that time comes, a mid-to-late-June return to the Reds seems like the absolute best-case scenario at this point.

Moore will make his second rehab outing Thursday, starting for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

Moore tossed three scoreless innings for Lehigh Valley on Saturday. Thursday's start seems likely to be his final tune-up before rejoining the Phillies, for whom he'll likely serve in a long-relief role.

Guzman (elbow) threw 20 pitches in a live batting practice session Tuesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Guzman could face hitters in another live BP session or a simulated game at some point this week before the Marlins map out a rehab assignment for him. Given that he's been troubled by the elbow injury since early in spring training, Guzman may need to make multiple rehab starts in the lower minors before likely joining the Triple-A Jacksonville rotation once he's reinstated from the 60-day injured list.
