  • Blair Calvo RP | DET

    Tigers' Blair Calvo: Acquired by Detroit

    Calvo was traded from the Rockies to the Tigers on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations.

    Calvo was designated for assignment by Colorado on Thursday but will join Detroit's 40-man roster a few days later. The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A Toledo to begin his time with his new club, but it's possible he provides bullpen depth for the Tigers at some point.

  • Jordan Hicks RP | CHW

    Cardinals' Jordan Hicks: Back-to-back days with saves

    Hicks picked up the save Sunday against the Mets, allowing one hit over a scoreless inning. He did not record a strikeout or walk.

    With Ryan Helsley (forearm) on the injured list, Hicks has locked down saves in back-to-back days. Giovanny Gallegos also figures to get some ninth-inning work with Helsley unavailable, but it appears it's Hicks' job to lose for now. The right-hander started his career as a closer, but he's struggled to stay healthy and was recently limited to mostly set-up duties when available.

  • Matt Moore RP | BOS

    Angels' Matt Moore: Throws bullpen Sunday

    Moore (oblique) threw a bullpen session Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Manager Phil Nevin said Sunday that Moore's bullpen went better than expected, and the southpaw is scheduled for another bullpen Tuesday or Wednesday. If he feels good again following his mid-week throwing session, it wouldn't be surprising to see him embark on a rehab assignment soon.

  • Andrew Nardi RP | MIA

    Marlins' Andrew Nardi: Notches second save

    Nardi picked up the save in Sunday's 4-2 victory over Washington. He allowed a hit while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

    With A.J. Puk having pitched the last two days, the Marlins' turned to Nardi in the ninth after using Dylan Floro in the eighth. The 24-year-old Nardi has been tremendous for Miami this season -- he hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 20 appearances (19.1 innings), recording 25 strikeouts in that span. Nardi's ERA is down to 2.27 with a 1.01 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB across 31.2 innings this season. Puk figures to have a firm hold on the closing job, but Nardi could see the occasional save chance as he's worked his way up the Marlins' bullpen hierarchy.

  • Felix Bautista RP | BAL

    Orioles' Felix Bautista: Secures 19th save

    Bautista didn't allow a baserunner and recorded one strikeout during the ninth inning of Sunday's victory over the Cubs to earn his 19th save of the season.

    The right-hander is now 19-for-23 in save opportunities this season, and he has a 19:1 K:BB while converting his past eight chances. Bautista ranks third in the league in saves and remains arguably the most dominant closer in the majors with a 1.08 ERA and 50.4 percent strikeout rate.

  • Keaton Winn RP | SF

    Giants' Keaton Winn: Back in big leagues

    Winn was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    The 25-year-old was demoted to Sacramento on Wednesday but will quickly rejoin the major-league club with Alex Cobb (oblique) landing on the injured list. Winn made his big-league debut June 13 in St. Louis and earned a save after he allowed one run across four frames in a blowout victory.

  • Bryan Hoeing RP | SD

    Marlins' Bryan Hoeing: Set to start Monday

    Hoeing is expected to start Monday against the Blue Jays, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    The right-hander started a couple games after being called up by the Marlins in late April, but he's worked out of the bullpen over the past six weeks and has a 3.12 ERA for the season. Hoeing threw 34 pitches over two frames in his previous outing June 12, so he shouldn't be expected to cover more than three or four innings Monday.

  • Jorge Lopez RP | WAS

    Twins' Jorge Lopez: Out for mental health reasons

    The Twins transferred Lopez from the restricted list to the 15-day injured list for mental health reasons Sunday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Minnesota initially placed the right-hander on the restricted list earlier Sunday before moving him to the IL. Lopez has given up 12 earned runs, including five homers, in his past eight appearances, and he'll now step away from the team in order to address his mental health.

  • Tigers' Anthony Misiewicz: Claimed by Detroit

    Misiewicz was claimed off waivers by the Tigers and optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

    The left-hander was recently designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks and will now join a new organization. Misiewicz had a 5.63 ERA across eight innings for Arizona before he suffered a calf strain May 19, and the club opted not to keep him around after reinstating him from the injured list last weekend.

  • Daniel Hudson RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Unlikely to return this week

    Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Hudson (knee) could be activated during the Dodgers' road trip that begins June 27 in Colorado and runs through July 2 in Kansas City, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Hudson made five rehab outings in the Arizona Complex League before recently shifting his rehab assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he's likely to make a handful of appearances before rejoining the big club. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined since he suffered a torn ACL last June, and he could move into a high-leverage role fairly quickly once activated.
