The Phillies placed Dominguez on the 15-day injured list Saturday (retroactive to Friday) with a left oblique strain.

Dominguez holds a 6.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP across six innings since the beginning of June and will now be held out until at least the start of July due to his injury. Yunior Marte was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move and will take Dominguez's place in Philadelphia's bullpen.

Ortiz was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Just four days after being promoted from Triple-A, Ortiz will head back to Lehigh Valley to make room for Cristopher Sanchez. Ortiz made one appearance during his brief stint with Philadelphia, surrendering two earned runs over three innings and picking up his first big-league save.

The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Miller was brought up from Triple-A on June 9 after injuries to Bennett Sousa (shoulder) and Jake Cousins (shoulder), and he will return to Nashville with the return of Wade Miley (lat) on Saturday. Miller made two appearances during his latest stint with the Brewers, throwing two scoreless innings while striking out two batters and walking one.

Englert (2-2) allowed one run on four hits across two innings of relief and earned the win Friday against the Twins. He had two strikeouts.

Englert followed opener Will Vest and was able to earn the win despite allowing a lot of traffic on the bases during his two innings of work. The righty has a middling 4.87 ERA and 1.52 WHIP for the season, limiting his fantasy appeal. He has at least been able to give the Tigers some length out of the bullpen, as 14 of his 23 appearances this year have covered at least two innings.

Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk after Friday's game.

Garrett's contract was selected Wednesday. He made two relief appearances during his brief time in the big leagues, giving up three runs on seven hits in 2.2 innings of work. Spenser Watkins was called up to take his place in the bullpen.

Headrick was recalled Saturday from Triple-A St. Paul.

Headrick is expected to pitch in Saturday's game against Detroit and will likely be used as a multi-inning option after Jose De Leon opens the game. Though he's logged a 4.23 ERA at Triple-A this season, Headrick boasts a strong 21.9 K-BB%.

Winder was optioned Saturday to Triple-A St. Paul.

Winder gave up a run over two innings in Friday's loss to Detroit. He'll likely return at some point this summer to work in a long-relief role. He was seen as a potential starter last year, but he hasn't started at game at Triple-A (11 appearances) this season.

Puk picked up the save Friday against the Nationals, allowing one hit over a scoreless inning. He struck out one and did not issue a walk.

Puk hasn't given up an earned run in his last seven appearances (6.2 innings), posting 10 strikeouts and three saves during that stretch. Overall, the left-hander is 8-for-9 in save chances and holds a 2.29 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 25:3 K:BB across 20 games (19.2 innings). He missed nearly a month on the injured list with an elbow issue, but he's been sharp since his return to MLB, allowing just one unearned run across five innings.

Romano struck out out three batters over 1.1 perfect innings of relief to record his 29th save of the season in Friday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

The right-hander fired 14 of 18 pitches for strikes in an impressive performance, fanning Josh Jung, Jonah Heim and Mitch Garver to lock down his 10th straight successful save chance. Romano has a 1.74 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB in 10.1 innings since his last blown save May 20, and he's firmly on pace to top the career-high 36 saves he collected in 2022.

Lamet (1-4) took the loss Friday as the Rockies were routed 8-1 by Atlanta, surrendering eight runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- and five walks over four innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander had neither control nor command, throwing 46 of 89 pitches for strikes and catching far too much of the plate when he did find the strike zone, and Atlanta pushed multiple runs across the plate in three of Lamet's four frames. The 30-year-old has a 10.80 ERA and 18:10 K:BB through 15 innings over four starts since moving into Colorado's rotation, and it's fair to wonder how much longer the team will stick with him before shifting him back to the bullpen. If he does get another start, Lamet's next turn would project for a road series next week in Cincinnati.
