Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Dominguez hasn't been available out of the bullpen for the Orioles' last two games due to a sore back, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Per Brendan Mortensen of MASNSports.com, Mansolino said Dominguez reported the injury after he "slept funny," but the skipper is hoping the reliever will be available Sunday. Dominguez has been a key bridge to closer Felix Bautista this season, collecting 13 holds, one save and two wins while pitching to a 3.15 ERA over 34.1 innings.

Adams allowed five runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out one over four innings Saturday against Tampa Bay.

Adams was used as a bulk reliever in a bullpen game for the Twins. He gave up plenty of loud contact in his MLB debut as he allowed a 47.4 percent hard-hit rate, according to Baseball Savant. With Bailey Ober (hip) likely to return after the All-Star break, it's not clear if Adams will be used in a similar role again Friday when the Twins have an opening in their rotation.

Atlanta optioned Dodd to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

After Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) landed on the injured list earlier this week, Atlanta went with a bullpen day in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Orioles when his turn in the rotation came up. Aaron Bummer recorded Atlanta's first seven outs before Dodd entered and allowed two earned runs on two hits over 2.2 innings. Since Dodd tossed 39 pitches Saturday and was unlikely to be available out of the bullpen for another day or two, Atlanta opted to swap him off the 26-man roster for a fresh bullpen arm in Jesse Chavez, who was called up from Triple-A.

Atlanta selected Chavez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Chavez will regain a spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster for the third time this season, as he had previously elected free agency and re-signed with the organization on minor-league deals after being designated for assignment on two occasions in April. Since signing his latest contract May 1, the 41-year-old righty has pitched well for Gwinnett, logging a 2.22 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB in 24.1 innings. He'll likely fill a low-leverage role for Atlanta.

Bachar didn't allow a baserunner or strike out a batter in the ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against the Brewers.

Calvin Faucher and Ronny Henriquez pitched the seventh and eighth innings of a 2-2 game, and Bachar was called upon for the save chance after Miami scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth. The right-hander has been a reliable bullpen option for Miami this year with a 3.29 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB over 41 innings, and he hasn't been scored upon in his past 11.1 frames. Bachar isn't likely to see regular save chances but could get the occasional opportunity when Miami's top arms have already been used or are unavailable.

The Rays optioned Rock to Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

He'll be replaced on the 26-man roster by Joe Boyle, who had been starting for Durham and could serve as a swingman during the upcoming week. Rock made his MLB debut June 28, covering two innings while allowing two earned runs on four hits and striking out four. The lefty reliever went unused in the Rays' ensuing six games.

Hurter tossed a scoreless inning of relief to record a hold in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Guardians.

After starter Casey Mize dazzled over seven scoreless innings, Hurter worked the eighth for his third hold of the year before Tommy Kahnle closed things out in the ninth. Hurter has been a bit rocky recently, allowing 12 runs (six earned) across seven innings in his last eight appearances. However, the lefty's numbers on the season are still strong, as he's sitting with a 2.72 ERA and 45 strikeouts through 43 innings out of Detroit's bullpen.

Munoz struck out two in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against the Pirates.

The right-hander was called upon to close out a 1-0 game and did so with ease, inducing five whiffs and retiring the side in order on just 10 pitches. Munoz continues to be one of the most reliable closers in MLB and hasn't given up an earned run in his past eight outings. Overall in 2025 he's gone 20-for-25 in save chances with a 1.09 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 44:13 K:BB across 33 innings.

Nelson (5-2) earned the win Saturday against the Royals, allowing one run on four hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out five.

Since surrendering seven runs over three innings June 3 in Cincinnati, Nelson has been lights out, giving up just five earned runs with a 0.78 WHIP and 36:6 K:BB across his past five starts. The right-hander opened the campaign as a reliever, but he's taken advantage of the absence of Corbin Burnes (elbow) and has pretty well cemented his spot at the back end of Arizona's rotation. Nelson has a 3.39 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB over 74.1 innings, and he lines up to face the Angels on the road next weekend.

Keller (3-1) allowed five runs on five hits in an inning of relief to take the loss Saturday against the Cardinals. He struck out one.

Keller struggled with the long ball, allowing a solo home run to Alec Burleson and a three-run shot to Yohel Pozo during the eighth inning. The rough outing -- the first time Keller has allowed any runs over his last seven appearances -- pushed Keller's ERA from 1.82 to 2.88. Even with the bad game, the veteran righty has been a key relief piece for the Cubs this season, posting a 1.16 WHIP and 38 strikeouts across 40.2 innings out of the bullpen.
