Iglesias allowed three runs on five hits in one inning of work during Monday's loss to Detroit. He struck out two and was charged with a blown save.

Tasked with holding on to a 5-2 lead, Iglesias coughed up three runs and allowed the Tigers to eventually win in the 10th inning. He was riding an 11.1-inning scoreless streak since his last blown save May 14. Iglesias saw his ERA jump to 4.02 with an 18:6 K:BB across 15.2 frames.

Doval walked two batters and allowed a hit in 1.1 scoreless frames while earning a save over the Cardinals on Monday.

Doval wasn't at his best Monday, tossing just 13 of his 27 pitches for strikes, but still managed to pick up his 17th save of the year. He's converted 14 consecutive saves since the start of May while dropping his season ERA to 1.86 through 29 frames. During that stretch, he's allowed just two earned runs with a 26:6 K:BB over 18 innings.

Yarbrough (head) will throw a three-inning live batting practice Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The Royals placed Yarbrough on the injured list May 8 after he got hit in the head by a line drive, and they later shifted him to the 60-day IL. He won't be eligible to return until July, but Wednesday's session will be useful in determining next steps for the 31-year-old southpaw.

Taylor (shoulder) will throw live batting practice Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

After throwing a bullpen session Sunday, Taylor will progress to facing live hitters for the first time since landing on the IL in late May. He will likely require a few more throwing sessions and a rehab assignment before making his return.

Staumont (neck) played catch Monday and will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

MRI results revealed Staumont's neck strain wasn't as severe as initially thought, so the 29-year-old reliever began throwing slightly ahead of schedule. He will likely require multiple bullpen sessions before heading on a rehab assignment, meaning he's likely to return near the beginning of July.

The Mariners selected Adcock from Double-A Arkansas on Monday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

With Penn Murfee (elbow) headed back to the injured list, the Mariners will call on Adcock to fill Murfee's spot in the bullpen. The 26-year-old righty has been impressive in Double-A, logging a 2.08 ERA, 0.62 WHIP, two saves and 13 strikeouts in 13 innings across 12 appearances. Robbie Ray (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list to make room for Adcock on the 40-man roster.

The Mariners placed Murfee on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow inflammation, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Murfee spent over a month on the IL with right elbow inflammation before returning Sunday. Now, he will be shelved for another 15 days with a similar injury. Because this is now Murfee's second elbow injury already this season, it's possible he's facing another extended absence. Ty Adcock was selected from Double-A Arkansas to fill Murfee's roster spot.

Naughton will be evaluated after he "felt a tug" in his left forearm during his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Memphis on Sunday, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol told Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat on Monday.

Naughton lasted just three pitches before suffering the setback. He's missed nearly all of the season with the arm issue and clearly isn't going to be rejoining the St. Louis bullpen anytime soon.

Tests on Helsley's injured right forearm came back negative, but he will be shut down for several days, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Helsley felt tightness in his forearm while playing catch Sunday and was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. While it would appear he's not currently dealing with any structural damage, his absence could still be fairly lengthy since he'll need to be build back up after the shutdown period. Giovanny Gallegos will be the Cardinals' closer while Helsley is out.

Bradford appears likely to start for the Rangers on Tuesday against the Angels in place of Jon Gray (blister), Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Manager Bruce Bochy wouldn't reveal Gray's replacement when asked Monday, but Bradford was spotted at Globe Life Field. The left-hander has been roughed up for eight runs over 10 innings in two starts with the Rangers this season, although he's posted a 1.82 ERA in 10 outings with Triple-A Round Rock.
