The Rangers placed Martin on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right shoulder impingement.

It's unclear when Martin sustained the injury, but he's been struggling of late with seven runs allowed in his past five outings. The veteran right-hander will be eligible to be reinstated in late July.

The Giants optioned Bivens to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Bivens was called up by the Giants last weekend and appeared in two games during his week in the majors, giving up two unearned runs on three hits with a 3:1 K:BB over two innings. Jason Foley (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list to fill out San Francisco's bullpen.

The Giants reinstated Foley (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The right-hander is ready to make his Giants debut after missing the first few months of the season while completing his recovery from the arthroscopic shoulder surgery he underwent in May of 2025. Foley recorded 28 saves with a 3.15 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 46:20 K:BB across 60 innings for the Tigers in 2024, but he failed to make the club's Opening Day roster last year prior to suffering the shoulder injury. He's likely to open in a low-leverage relief role for San Francisco.

The Mets optioned Myers to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

The right-hander continues to be shuttled between Triple-A and the majors, with Sunday's transaction being the fourth time he's been optioned this season and the third time in the past two weeks. Myers had a strong start to the year with a 3.25 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB across his first 15 outings, but he's now surrendered 22 runs in his past 11 appearances (10.80 ERA).

The Marlins placed Kempner on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right elbow sprain.

Kempner was called upon to pitch Thursday against Seattle and Saturday versus Cleveland and struggled in both games, allowing four runs on five hits with three strikeouts and two walks over 2.1 innings. He'll now be sidelined until at least July 27 due to the elbow issue.

The Marlins recalled Fulton from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

The left-hander was sent to Jacksonville in late June but will get another look in the big-league bullpen after William Kempner (elbow) was placed on the injured list. Fulton has pitched well in his three MLB appearances, allowing two earned runs with a 6:3 K:BB across seven innings. He could be called upon to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen Sunday, as starter Tyler Phillips will be taking the hill on three days' rest and is expected to operate with a more limited pitch count than usual.

The Nationals designated Krook for assignment Sunday.

Krook will be pushed off the 40-man roster after the Nationals recalled first baseman/designated hitter Abimelec Ortiz for Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. The lefty reliever has struggled over eight appearances in the big leagues this season between the Athletics and Nationals, pitching to a 12.79 ERA, 2.37 WHIP and 7:6 K:BB in 6.1 innings.

The Reds recalled Petty from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

Petty will provide the Reds with a fresh arm out of the bullpen heading into Sunday's series finale versus the Cubs. Though the Reds have a temporary opening in the rotation after Nick Lodolo (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, Petty may not be in consideration to replace him after he recently transitioned to a bullpen role at Louisville. Petty turned in a 6.17 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 10 starts at Triple-A before tossing a pair of scoreless innings in relief in his last two outings.

Montgomery walked one and struck out two across one inning to earn the save in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Gregory Soto earned the save in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader, so he was unavailable for the latter contest. Montgomery filled the void, allowing only a leadoff walk before retiring the next three batters he faced. Montgomery has had an inconsistent season, though he has turned in six straight appearances without being charged with a run, compiling an 11:2 K:BB across 5.1 innings in that span.

Pfaadt (3-1) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out two without walking a batter over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Pfaadt threw 55 of 77 pitches for strikes to keep a dangerous lineup in check. He's allowed just three runs over 15.2 innings across three starts since rejoining the Diamondbacks' rotation in late June. Pfaadt also looks to have some extra security in the rotation since Zac Gallen (elbow) is likely headed to the injured list. Pfaadt is at a 4.70 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 41:18 K:BB through 53.2 innings over 16 games (six starts) this season, but he appears to have made a breakthrough during his most recent stint in the minors.
