John King RP | MIA
Marlins' John King: Takes loss as opener
King (1-1) took the loss against the Mets on Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and no walks with two strikeouts over 1.2 innings.
King opened the game and took the loss, as he was charged with two of the 10 runs the Mets scored against the Marlins in a bullpen game. The southpaw owns a 2.52 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB with three holds and one save across 25 innings this season, and Sunday's appearance was likely a one-off while the Marlins sort through their depleted rotation.

Austin Warren RP | NYM
Mets' Austin Warren: Opening Monday's game
Warren will serve as the Mets' opening pitcher for Monday's game versus the Mariners, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.
Warren will draw the first start of his major-league career, although he will likely be limited to just an inning or two before the Mets turn the game over to the bullpen. Southpaw Sean Manaea is likely to handle a bulk-relief role in the series opener in Seattle.

Clayton Beeter RP | WAS
Nationals' Clayton Beeter: Grabs fourth save
Beeter picked up the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Padres, working around a hit while striking out one in the ninth inning.
After throwing 22 pitches to earn the save Saturday, Beeter got the call again in the ninth inning a day later, and he got the job done to earn his fourth save this season. Beeter has been sharp of late, turning in six straight scoreless appearances and allowing just three hits in that span (6.1 innings) as he looks to have solidified his standing as Washington's primary closer. His ERA is down to 2.30 through 15.2 innings this season with a 1.21 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB.

Sam Moll RP | CIN
Reds' Sam Moll: Earns one-out save
Moll earned a one-out save in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta, allowing no hits and one walk with no strikeouts in the ninth inning.
Moll was called on to relieve the struggling Tony Santillan with two men on and two outs in the ninth inning to face lefty Michael Harris. He walked Harris before inducing a game-ending groundout to earn his first save of the season. It was likely just a matchup-driven decision with Santillan reeling, but the 34-year-old Moll has put together a strong campaign, posting a 2.49 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across 25.1 innings.

Shane Drohan RP | MIL
Brewers' Shane Drohan: Set to start Monday
Drohan will start Monday's game against the Giants, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Drohan will be making his second start of the season, after tossing 2.2 innings in his Milwaukee debut back on April 8. Since then, Drohan has excelled in a relief role for Milwaukee, accruing a 1.82 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB across 24.2 innings. The left-hander has thrown 39-plus pitches in seven of his 11 outings this season, so he should be able to provide some quality length Monday even if he isn't built up to handle a full starter's workload.

Andrew Nardi RP | MIA
Marlins' Andrew Nardi: Facing extended absence
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Nardi is expected to miss about three months after landing on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a stress reaction in his left ribcage, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Nardi could be back with the Marlins for the final stretch of the season, but any problems during his rehab program could result in him missing the rest of the campaign. The rib injury is another tough setback on the health front for Nardi, who missed the entire 2025 season due to back problems.

Matt Pushard RP | STL
Cardinals' Matt Pushard: Loses 40-man roster spot
The Cardinals designated Pushard for assignment Sunday.
Since Pushard was selected in the Rule 5 Draft over the winter, the Cardinals will have to offer him back to the Marlins if he ends up clearing waivers. The 28-year-old right-hander posted a 5.14 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB in seven innings over six appearances out of the St. Louis bullpen and hadn't been used since being reinstated from the 15-day injured list May 16.

Paul Gervase RP | LAD
Dodgers' Paul Gervase: Sent to Triple-A
The Dodgers optioned Gervase to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The right-hander has been up with the Dodgers for the past couple weeks but made just one relief appearance. Across his two stints in the majors this season, Gervase has given up one earned run on five hits with a 5:2 K:BB over five innings.

Tristan Beck RP | SF
Giants' Tristan Beck: Moves up to big leagues
The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for Ryan Borucki, whom the Giants designated for assignment. Beck made two scoreless relief appearances in the majors earlier this month but has spent most of the season at Sacramento, where he's turned in a 3.91 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across 23 innings. He'll handle a low-leverage role while he's up with San Francisco.
