Phillips was charged with a blown save against Minnesota on Monday, allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two batters over one inning.

Phillips got the call with Los Angeles up by a run in the top of the ninth frame, but he walked Carlos Correa with one out before allowing a game-tying double to Byron Buxton. He managed to strike out the next two batters to get out of the inning, but the damage resulted in his first blown save of the campaign. Phillips has converted his other seven opportunities and has a 2.25 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 21:4 K:BB over 16 innings overall.

Puk (elbow) played catch from 60 feet Tuesday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Puk landed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with irritation in his left elbow but is already back to throwing without any issues. He still has another two weeks or so before he can return from the IL, but it's a positive sign for the Marlins' closer.

The Brewers recalled Bukauskas from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Bukauskas will fill the place of Gus Varland, who was DFA'd by the Crew on Tuesday. Bukauskas pitched just one major-league inning this season before being waived by Seattle and claimed by Milwaukee in April. Since then, he's been rather unimpressive in Nashville to the tune of a 6.35 ERA and 1.54 WHIP through 5.2 frames. Given his shaky history, the 26-year-old reliever likely won't see many high-leverage situations.

Varland was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Tuesday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Varland has lost his 40-man roster spot after getting torched in a mop-up situation Monday night against the Cardinals. The 26-year-old righty heads into DFA limbo with a career 11.42 ERA in 8.2 major-league frames.

Toronto recalled Hatch from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Hatch will join the Blue Jays' bullpen ahead of the second game of their big four-game series against the Yankees. He had posted a 4.91 ERA and 28:12 K:BB through 22 innings this season at Triple-A.

Toronto optioned Jackson to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Thomas Hatch has been recalled as a fresh bullpen arm. Jackson threw 21 pitches while allowing one run over one inning of relief Monday versus the Yankees.

Garza was recalled from Triple-A Worcester by the Red Sox on Tuesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Garza was claimed off waivers from the Angels late last month and is now up for what would be his Red Sox debut. The 29-year-old holds a 3.95 ERA and 13:5 K:BB over 13.2 innings at the Triple-A level in 2023.

Schreiber was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Red Sox on Tuesday with a right teres major strain, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Schreiber suffered the injury during an appearance Monday versus the Mariners. It's not clear how severe the strain is, but even in a best-case scenario it's often the type of injury which leads to longer than a minimum stay on the IL.

Chargois (oblique) was activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Chargois will return to the Marlins' bullpen Tuesday night against the Nationals after missing five weeks with a strained oblique. He had thrown 4.1 scoreless innings of relief prior to the injury.

The Tigers transferred Brieske (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Seth Elledge, claimed off waivers from the Mets, will fill the vacant 40-man roster spot. Brieske resumed throwing last week but remains out indefinitely with lingering elbow trouble. He had a nerve hydrodissection procedure in April.
