Garrett earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Thursday, walking one batter in a perfect inning.

Garrett walked the first batter he faced but managed to retire the next three Arizona hitters to nail down his third save. With Edwin Diaz (shoulder) on the injured list, Garrett appears to be the Mets' top option for ninth-inning work. The right-hander has notched New York's past two saves, though they came 11 days apart.

Kennedy was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Thursday.

Kennedy was designated for assignment Tuesday and went unclaimed on waivers. He'll head back to Louisville, where he's posted a 32:8 K:BB across 40.2 innings while working as a starter this season.

Peguero earned the save in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Cubs, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

With Trevor Megill (elbow) unavailable after he was struck by a line drive Tuesday, Peguero got the call in the ninth inning Thursday. He worked around a Dansby Swanson one-out single to close out a two-run victory, earning his first save of the year. It could be a one-off for Peguero, as Megill is expected to avoid an IL stint and figures to reclaim the closing job until Devin Williams (back) is healthy. Still, the 27-year-old Peguero has been a solid late-inning option for the Brewers this season, pitching to a 2.92 ERA with a 1.58 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB over 24.2 innings.

Raley (elbow) underwent Tommy John surgery with an internal brace augmentation Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

While the Mets didn't list a timetable for Raley's return, the timing of the operation would seem to point to him being out until the second half of the 2025 season. Raley made just eight appearances in 2024, collecting a 9:3 K:BB across seven scoreless innings.

The Mets designated Lopez for assignment Thursday.

Lopez has been decent on the mound this season with a 3.76 ERA and 1.37 WHIP, but he will be ousted from the Mets after throwing his glove into the stands upon being ejected from Wednesday's contest. Lopez also seemed to publicly criticize the Mets organization during a postgame interview, though he later clarified his statement, calling himself "the worst teammate in MLB." The 31-year-old reliever will likely draw plenty of interest on the waiver wire from other teams in need of bullpen help, and Danny Young will come up from Triple-A Syracuse to fill the open spot in New York's pitching staff.

The Mets recalled Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Young will absorb the roster spot vacated by Jorge Lopez, who has been designated for assignment. The left-handed Young threw three scoreless innings with the Mets earlier this season and boasts a 1.59 ERA over 11.1 frames with Syracuse, although he's also issued 11 walks at the latter spot.

The Rangers traded Anderson to the Marlins on Thursday in exchange for cash, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Anderson was DFA'd by Texas on Sunday, but his move to Miami will put him back on a 40-man roster. The 29-year-old righty still has a minor-league option remaining, so it's likely he moves back and forth between Miami and Triple-A Jacksonville according to the Marlins' pitching needs. Woo-suk Go was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Marlins designated Go for assignment Thursday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Shaun Anderson, who was acquired via trade from the Rangers. Go was just picked up in a trade himself in the deal earlier this month that sent Luis Arraez to the Padres. The 25-year-old has spent the duration of the season in the minors, posting a 3.80 ERA and 18:6 K:BB over 21.1 innings between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A Jacksonville.

Walston is slated to start Saturday's game against the Mets at Citi Field.

Walston will stick around as the fifth member of Arizona's rotation after he blanked the Marlins over 4.2 innings while striking out four in his first MLB start Sunday. Though the 23-year-old southpaw came through with a passable showing in his first start, fantasy managers should tread carefully with Walston, who has struggled to keep his walks in check at nearly every rung of the minors. Though he issued just one free pass against Miami, Walston walked four batters in his MLB debut May 1, when he tossed 3.2 innings of long relief against the Dodgers.

The Brewers designated White for assignment Thursday.

White has bounced around with three different teams this season (Toronto, San Francisco and Milwaukee) and hasn't pitched well at any stop, accumulating a 7.23 ERA and 13:13 K:BB over 23.2 innings. The 29-year-old offers the ability to be used as a starter or reliever, but his lack of minor-league options could limit interest from teams via trade or waivers.
