Lord (4-7) coughed up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings and took the loss Monday against the Yankees. He struck out five.

The Washington right-hander was tagged for a season-worst six earned runs in this 78-pitch outing. This marks the second consecutive poor appearance for Lord, who had been solid in the second half prior to this start, pitching to a 3.45 ERA across 31.1 frames. After conceding two runs over the first four innings, Lord unraveled in the fifth, giving up five runs on five hits, capped by a Jazz Chisholm two-run homer. Across 100.2 total innings, the 25-year-old now sports a 3.84 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 82:33 K:BB. He currently lines up to make his next start at home against Tampa Bay this weekend.

The Mets announced July 29 that Smith (elbow) has been throwing bullpen sessions and could be close to facing live hitters in batting practice, MLB.com reports.

Updates on Smith's rehab from his July 2024 Tommy John surgery with an internal brace have been scarce over the past month, but assuming he's experienced no setbacks during the ramp-up process, he could have an outside shot at returning from the 60-day injured list in September. Before suffering the elbow injury last summer, Smith had been an integral piece in the New York bullpen, posting a 3.06 ERA while collecting two saves and six holds over his 19 appearances in 2024.

The Brewers recalled McGee from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

McGee holds a 7.36 ERA and 10:5 K:BB over 11 innings during his time in the Brewers bullpen this season. The 6-foot-7 righty will likely be used in low-leverage spots.

The Brewers placed Anderson on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right ankle tendinitis.

He'll be eligible to return Sept. 8, but it's unclear if Anderson will be ready to go by that date. The right-handed reliever has pitched well out of the Brewers bullpen this season, posting a 2.87 ERA and 66:27 K:BB over 62.2 innings.

Triple-A Rochester placed Eder on its 7-day injured list Aug. 5 due to an unspecified injury.

Acquired from the Angels on July 30, Eder reported to Triple-A Rochester following the trade but has yet to make his organizational debut while he recovers from an injury. The Nationals haven't provided a timeline for Eder's return to the mound, making it uncertain whether he'll pitch again in 2025.

The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Graceffo has put up a 5.81 ERA and 26:7 K:BB across 31 innings in the majors this season. The right-hander will give manager Oliver Marmol a fresh bullpen arm for the start of a series against the Pirates that begins Monday.

The Cardinals optioned Granillo to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.

Granillo struggled in his most recent stint with the big club, yielding seven runs with a 7:5 K:BB over 7.1 innings. He'll cede his spot in the bullpen to Gordon Graceffo, who was recalled from Triple-A.

The Mets selected Castillo's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Castillo was outrighted off the 40-man roster earlier this month, but he's getting another shot in the majors after allowing just one run with a 9:1 K:BB over his last 5.1 innings with Syracuse. The lefty reliever holds a 5.30 ERA and 20:9 K:BB across 18.2 frames at the big-league level this season between the Diamondbacks and Mets.

The Mets placed Garrett on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right elbow inflammation.

Garrett had been tagged for eight runs over 4.2 innings covering his last five appearances. He's been given a cortisone shot and hopes to be ready for activation Sept. 7 when first eligible, according to Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record. Garrett's spot on the active roster and in the bullpen will be absorbed by Jose Castillo, who was called up from Triple-A Syracuse.

Santana allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning Sunday against the Rockies.

Santana entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a four-run lead. He allowed a double and a walk with two outs but managed to turn in his sixth consecutive scoreless outing. Santana briefly struggled after taking over the closer role, but he has converted four of his last five save chances while striking out eight across his last 10 appearances.
