Imanaga (4-4) took the loss against the Brewers on Monday, allowing eight runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings.

Imanaga got through three frames with just one run on his ledger, but Milwaukee tagged him for four runs in the fourth. The fifth didn't go any better for the southpaw, as Jake Bauers belted a three-run homer against him with one out to give the Brewers an 8-0 lead and end Imanaga's outing. The eight runs Imanaga allowed marked a season high, and his stretch of three straight quality starts came to a crashing halt. Imanaga's ERA jumped over a run from 2.32 to 3.38 as a result of the blow-up.

Peralta will serve as the Rockies' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Peralta is lined up to make his first big-league appearance of 2026 after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday. He'll be expected to work the first inning or two before making way for a bulk reliever, with rigthy Tanner Gordon being the most likely candidate to cover multiple frames out of the bullpen.

Duran secured the save Monday against the Reds, throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out two.

Duran has been especially dominant as of late, fanning multiple batters in six consecutive outings since coming off the injured list with an oblique strain in early May. The hard-throwing right-hander has established a very strong grip on Philadelphia's closer role, boasting a 1.42 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB over 12.2 innings while successfully converting all eight of his save opportunities.

Bukauskas (lat) was activated from the 7-day injured list Saturday.

Bukauskas has made a full recovery after undergoing surgery on his right lat in February of 2025. He made his first appearance with Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out two over one inning of relief work.

Roberts allowed a run on three hits and a walk across 1.2 innings of relief in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Brewers.

Roberts got the call early with Shota Imanaga getting shelled for eight runs in only 4.1 innings of work. The former slowed down Milwaukee a bit, though he did allow his first run of the season in the process. Roberts is still sitting with a stellar 0.96 ERA in 9.1 innings across seven appearances this year, and he might need to take on a larger bullpen role moving forward with Caleb Thielbar (hamstring) and Riley Martin (elbow) both on the 15-day injured list, and Hunter Harvey (triceps) on the 60-day injured list.

Graterol (shoulder/back) is considering surgery, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

The timeframe for Graterol's return is quite murky after he suffered a back injury while out on a rehab assignment last week. Woo states that surgery is an option for the right-hander, but nothing has been decided at this stage.

Hernandez signed a contract with the Dodgers on Monday.

Hernandez was cut loose by the Phillies on Sunday, but it didn't take long for him to find work elsewhere. He'll provide the Dodgers with a fresh arm out of the bullpen. Hernandez hasn't appeared in the big leagues since the 2024 campaign, when he posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.59 WHIP with a 39:28 K:BB across 43.1 regular-season innings across stops with Texas and Seattle.

Puk (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session Tuesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

It will be the first time he's faced hitters since he had an internal brace procedure on his left elbow last June. If things go well for Puk on Tuesday, he could appear in an Arizona Complex League game Saturday. Puk should be ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks' bullpen sometime in June as long as he doesn't encounter any setbacks.

The Cardinals outrighted Shuster to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Shuster has the ability to decline the outright assignment and elect free agency, but he made the choice to stick around in the organization last month and could do so again. The left-hander has made four relief appearances this season for St. Louis, yielding three runs (two earned) with a 2:3 K:BB over 7.2 frames.

The Mets transferred Minter (lat/hip) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of right-hander Daniel Duarte, who was called up from Triple-A Syracuse. The move doesn't alter Minter's timetable, as he's already spent nearly 60 days on the shelf, and his activation isn't imminent. Out all season while recovering from last year's lat surgery, Minter was pulled off his rehab assignment earlier this month because of left hip discomfort. He resumed his rehab this past Friday with a scoreless frame for Syracuse.
