Myers will start Friday's contest on the mound versus the Marlins, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Myers will make his second start of the season, but he likely isn't stretched out enough to serve as anything more than a glorified opener. He hasn't thrown more than 25 pitches in an appearance since May 2 and has maxed out at three innings on the season. Sean Manaea, who hasn't pitched since Sunday, is available to handle multiple frames out of the bullpen, but it's not clear if the Mets intend to use him in tandem with Myers or if manager Carlos Mendoza will see how many innings he can get out of Myers before deciding how to deploy his relief options.

Peralta was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

Peralta will head back to Albuquerque after serving as the Rockies' opener in Tuesday's 10-0 loss to the Rangers, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out a batter and hitting another over two-thirds of an inning. In corresponding move, Blas Castano was recalled from Triple-A to replace Peralta in the big-league bullpen.

Castano was called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday.

Castano will return to the big-league club just a few days after being sent down to Albuquerque on Monday. The right-hander will replace Sammy Peralta in the Rockies' bullpen after Peralta was optioned to Triple-A.

Williams secured the save Thursday against the Nationals, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

Williams let the possible tying run get into scoring position via a Daylen Lile double but held on to preserve a one-run win for the Mets on Thursday. That's now 10 consecutive scoreless outings for the right-hander, who has nailed down five straight save opportunities. Williams' stats are still recovering from a brutal start to the year, as he now has a 4.32 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB over 16.2 innings while converting seven of his eight save chances.

Devenski (illness) was cleared to resume all baseball activities last week and began throwing bullpen sessions May 13, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Devenski was placed on the shelf May 7 due to an unspecified illness, but he seems to be making good progress in his recovery. The veteran right-hander could be cleared to head out on a brief rehab assignment in the coming days before returning from the 15-day injured list.

Hurt notched a hold against the Padres on Wednesday, allowing two hits and striking out one batter over one scoreless inning.

Hurt was deployed in a high-leverage situation, entering in the eighth frame with the Dodgers up 3-0. He allowed two singles (one of which was an infield hit) but managed to get out of the inning unscathed in the scoring column by inducing a double play. Hurt gave up a run in his first outing of the season (April 15 versus the Mets) but has since tossed 13 straight scoreless frames over 13 appearances, posting a dominant 0.69 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB during that span. Hurt didn't record a hold in any of his first nine outings but has two over six appearances since. Given how effective he's been, he may be looking at more frequent high-leverage work moving forward.

Treinen pitched a perfect inning and picked up his sixth hold while striking out a batter in a 4-0 win over San Diego on Wednesday.

Treinen entered in the seventh inning and retired the side in order, maintaining the 3-0 lead for the Dodgers. The 37-year-old's scoreless inning marked his fifth such frame in his past six appearances. The right-hander has a 3.31 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB through his first 16.1 innings while filling a setup role that's helped net him six holds.

Burke pitched two-thirds of an inning and picked up the hold after allowing two earned runs on two hits and no walks in a 9-4 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Burke entered the game in the bottom of the sixth with Cincinnati holding a three-run lead. The 29-year-old allowed a single to Brandon Marsh, which was followed up by a two-run home run by Edmundo Sosa to cut the Reds lead to 5-4. Despite the rocky appearance, Burke picked up his fifth hold of the season. Before this outing, the left-hander allowed just one earned run over his previous seven relief appearances.

Bruihl threw two scoreless innings while striking out two batters in a 7-0 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

Bruihl entered the game for St. Louis in the sixth inning with the bases loaded and the Cardinals trailing 2-0. The 28-year-old got out of the jam and proceeded to strike out Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz in the top of the seventh. Bruihl has allowed just one earned run over his past seven appearances (6.1 innings) as he continues to fill a middle-relief role.

Atlanta optioned Mederos to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

Mederos covered two scoreless frames in Wednesday's win over the Marlins, but he's being sent out in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. Carlos Carrasco is absorbing Mederos' spot on the active roster.
