The Marlins selected Tarnok's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Tarnok had been working primarily in the rotation at Jacksonville while posting a 4.79 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 44:18 K:BB in 41.1 innings over 12 appearances (10 starts). The Marlins are expected to deploy the right-hander out of the bullpen initially, but if he isn't needed over the next few days, he could be a candidate to make a spot start later next week.

Blewett will serve as the Orioles' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Angels, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Blewett opened a game for Atlanta back in April and will now do so for Baltimore in Sunday's series finale. The right-hander has covered two or more frames in eight of his 17 appearances this season, so he could be capable of giving the Orioles around three innings Sunday. Cade Povich, who was previously scheduled to start, is likely to follow Blewett in bulk relief.

The Rockies optioned Agnos to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Agnos leads the Rockies with four saves this season, but his ratios (5.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 3.3 K-BB% in 21.1 innings) have left much to be desired. After Agnos allowed runs in each of his last four appearances, the Rockies will have the 24-year-old righty report to the organization's performance lab in Arizona to hone his mechanics before he heads to Albuquerque, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. Seth Halvorsen, Tyler Kinley, Victor Vodnik and Jake Bird look to be the Rockies' top high-leverage relievers, but mining for saves on a 13-57 squad could prove to be a fruitless endeavor for fantasy managers.

Smith took a comebacker off his forehead Friday but remained in the game, Josh Kirshenbaum of MLB.com reports.

Smith talked the medical staff into letting him stay in the game, and he struck out the next batter he faced to finish off the inning. The right-hander then struck out two during a 1-2-3 inning in Saturday's game. He's been an effective bullpen arm for the Guardians in 2025, posting a 2.32 ERA with three saves and a 47:10 K:BB over 31 innings.

The Tigers designated Brebbia for assignment Sunday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

The veteran right-hander has given up seven runs in his past four outings, and he's now lost his place on Detroit's 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Brebbia has a 7.71 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB across 18.2 innings this season and will now go through the waivers process.

Triple-A Toledo placed Horn on its 7-day injured list May 24 due to left elbow inflammation, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Horn last pitched for Toledo on May 17 before landing on the shelf a week later, but he may be on the cusp of a return. He began a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday and has given up four runs (three earned) on three hits and one walk over 1.2 innings through his first two appearances.

Triple-A Toledo placed Guenther on its 7-day injured list May 30 due to an unspecified injury.

The southpaw reliever posted a 5.23 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 10.1 innings over nine appearances for Detroit before being optioned to Triple-A on May 23. He made just two appearances for Toledo before hitting the shelf with an injury.

Holton will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Reds, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Horton will work as an opener for the third time this season after doing so nine times in 2024. The left-hander has surrendered five earned runs in his past five outings and has a 4.22 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB across 32 innings this season. Sawyer Gipson-Long is expected to follow him in bulk relief Sunday.

Weissert notched a save against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits in one inning.

Primary closer Aroldis Chapman had pitched five of the previous seven days, so Red Sox manager Alex Cora held him out. That led to Weissert -- who picked up his first save of the season Tuesday -- getting his second ninth-inning opportunity of the week. The save didn't come easily, as the right-hander allowed a run before the potential tying run got to second base with two outs. However, he was able to retire Austin Wells on a flyout to end the game. There probably won't be many weeks in which Weissert gets multiple save chances, but he appears to be a trusted option on occasions when Chapman is unavailable, especially while top setup man Justin Slaten remains on the IL with a shoulder injury.

Clase (4-1) allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss and a blown save Saturday versus the Mariners.

Clase's seven-inning scoreless streak was snapped in this outing. He didn't have his control, throwing just 11 of 20 pitches for strikes, though two of the walks were intentional. The tying run also scored on a wild pitch before Jorge Polanco delivered a walk-off single. Clase hadn't walked a batter since May 17 in Cincinnati. He's now at a 3.94 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB while converting 14 of 17 save chances over 29.2 innings this season. He's been hit pretty hard by regression after being nearly untouchable in 2025, but for now, it doesn't look like Clase is at risk of losing the closing job for Cleveland.
