The Brewers recalled Peguero from Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

Milwaukee sent starter Tobias Myers to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Peguero was a staple of the Milwaukee bullpen in 2024, but the 28-year-old righty posted a 5.68 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in five appearances to begin the season before being optioned to Nashville on April 11. The right-hander has performed better over the past month at Triple-A, giving up two earned runs on six hits and four walks over eight innings across seven appearances.

Rodriguez struck out the side in a scoreless eighth inning during Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Twins.

Rodriguez tossed his fourth consecutive scoreless outing Saturday, throwing 10 of his 12 pitches for strikes in an extremely efficient effort. The right-hander has allowed just two earned runs all season, both of which came in a loss to the Padres on April 29. The 25-year-old owns a 1.08 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and a 24:2 K:BB across 16.2 innings in 16 appearances.

Gibaut (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Gibaut has been on the shelf since April 26 due to a right shoulder impingement, but he appears to be nearing the finish line in his recovery. He'll likely make at least a couple rehab appearances for Louisville before the Reds consider bringing him back from the 15-day injured list.

Hoeing (shoulder) began a rehab assignment Saturday with the Padres' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, retiring one batter while allowing three earned runs on three hits.

Hoeing currently resides on the Padres' 60-day injured list and won't be eligible for activation until late May. The 28-year-old reliever -- who is recovering from a right shoulder strain -- will likely make at least a couple more appearances in the ACL before shifting his rehab assignment to a higher-level affiliate.

Moll (shoulder) has allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out nine over seven innings across seven appearances while on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville.

Moll was added to the 15-day injured list in mid-April with a left shoulder impingement and has been eligible for activation since April 26. Relievers usually don't require this many rehab innings before being activated, and after beginning his stint with Louisville on April 22, the Reds are getting close to using the maximum 30 days allowed.

Tinoco earned the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox after tossing a scoreless ninth inning. He did not allow a hit or walk, nor did he record a strikeout.

With Calvin Faucher dispatched for the seventh inning, Tinoco got the call for the ninth to preserve the Marlins' two-run lead. Despite facing the heart of the White Sox's lineup, Tinoco needed just 10 pitches (eight strikes) to get through the frame and secure his first save since April 21. Tinoco is up to three saves on the season with a 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 8:5 across 12.1 innings.

Helsley gave up a hit and walked two batters in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his seventh save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Nationals.

After retiring the first two batters in the ninth, Helsley loaded the bases but was able to escape the jam by getting CJ Abrams to fly out. The Cardinals closer has been putting plenty of traffic on the basepaths this year, leading to two blown saves in nine chances along with a 3.21 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB through 14 innings -- numbers which represent a significant step back from his dazzling 2024 campaign.

Hodge earned a save against the Mets on Saturday, walking one batter in a scoreless and hitless inning of work.

With Chicago holding a one-run lead heading into the bottom of the ninth inning, manager Craig Counsell turned to Hodge to close things out. The right-hander walked the first batter he faced but was subsequently able to induce a double-play groundout by Francisco Lindor before retiring Juan Soto to end the game. Hodge's deployment Saturday against the heart of the Mets' order could be an indication that he's gaining traction as the preferred closing option for Chicago; Ryan Pressly did pitch an inning Friday, but that was in a non-save situation and was his first appearance following a nine-run, no-out implosion against the Giants on Tuesday. Hodge certainly hasn't been flawless this year -- he has an implosion of his own and has posted a poor 16:10 K:BB over 17 frames while recording a 4.24 ERA -- so the situation remains murky.

Nelson struck out one over two perfect innings to earn the save in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Dodgers.

Nelson's previous outing was a spot start Monday versus the Mets, in which he allowed two runs over 4.1 innings while covering the absence of Corbin Burnes (shoulder). Burnes returned to the mound Saturday and delivered seven shutout innings, and Nelson was able to close out the win, needing just 16 pitches (11 strikes) over the last two frames. While Nelson got this save, he's unlikely to be a regular in the high-leverage mix. He likely got the late-inning assignment Saturday because five of Arizona's other relievers had pitched at least once over the previous two days, while he was fresh. Nelson has a 5.01 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 23:8 K:BB, 1-1 record, one save and one blown save across 23.1 innings this season. He should settle back into a long-relief role.

Hurt (elbow) has resumed throwing off a mound but hasn't yet progressed to full bullpen sessions, per MLB.com.

Hurt is making gradual progress from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last July. If he continues to proceed without any setbacks, he could return to the big-league club near the end of the campaign, but that's not a guarantee given the nature of his procedure.
