The Yankees recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to serve as the 27th player for Sunday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

The right-hander will temporarily join the big club as bullpen depth following Saturday's postponement. De Los Santos has given up one earned run over 8.1 innings for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year, though he hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023, when he posted a 3.33 ERA in 22 outings with Pittsburgh.

Hurter (1-0) gave up one run across 2.1 innings of relief to earn the win in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Orioles. He allowed a hit and two walks.

After Keider Montero covered 4.1 innings to start the game, Hurter finished the fifth then worked into the seventh to earn his first win of the season. The lefty has been solid with a 2.65 ERA across 17 innings, which is in line with the 2.58 ERA he posted across 45.1 regular-season innings in 2024. Hurter isn't missing many bats, however, with only 11 strikeouts across those 17 frames.

Roberts allowed four runs on three hits and a walk across two innings of relief in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Phillies. He struck out one.

Starter Ben Brown was tagged with the loss after allowing six runs in 3.2 innings, but Roberts wasn't much more effective out of the bullpen. The righty came into the contest with a tidy 1.42 ERA, which ballooned to 5.40 after Saturday's outing. Roberts should stick in a middle-relief role for the Cubs for the time being, giving him limited fantasy upside.

Ginkel (shoulder) will pitch for Triple-A Reno on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

This will be Ginkel's second rehab appearance after he threw 22 pitches for the Aces on Thursday. Relief pitchers typically don't require many outings while on rehab, which means Ginkel could be ready to go Tuesday when Arizona embarks on a road trip beginning in New York against the Mets.

Graveman (back) threw 22 pitches and faced six batters in an extended spring training game Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Graveman is checking boxes on his way to an early May return. He's thrown a bullpen session, a live batting practice session and now appeared in a game environment. There should be a key spot for Graveman once he's ready, as the Arizona bullpen deals with injuries.

Fairbanks earned the save Saturday in San Diego as he struck out one and gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

The right-hander allowed a one-out double to Manny Machado but otherwise had no issues with the heart of the Padres lineup. Fairbanks has delivered three straight scoreless appearances and has converted all five of his save chances this year. He has a 2.61 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB across 10.1 innings as he's looking to produce his third straight year of 20-plus saves.

Lee pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning win over Arizona.

This was Lee's sixth straight scoreless outing, spanning 6.2 innings. During that time, he's taken a blown save -- by allowing an inherited runner to score on a wild pitch -- while adding a hold and a win. Overall, Lee has been steady as he works up the ranks in Atlanta's bullpen hierarchy. The left-hander has a 2.19 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB with a 1-1 record, one save, three holds and two blown saves over 12.1 innings. Raisel Iglesias is still the closer but has shown some significant inconsistency early in 2025, so Lee could be a closing option if Atlanta pivots to a committee approach at some point this season.

Iglesias (1-2) allowed one run on two hits over one inning, taking a blown save but earning the extra-inning win Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

Iglesias gave up a piece of history in the ninth inning, allowing Eugenio Suarez's fourth home run of the game. It came at a bad time for Iglesias, as it tied the game at 7-7 just after Atlanta had rallied ahead in the eighth. The right-hander is now 4-for-6 in save chances this season, and he's been scored upon in five of his 10 outings, allowing a homer in each of those instances. He's at a putrid 6.30 ERA despite a passable 1.10 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB across 10 innings. Prior to Saturday, no other reliever had logged a save for Atlanta, but Dylan Lee was able to protect a one-run lead in the 10th inning to earn one. Iglesias' role as closer isn't in immediate danger, but he needs to get back on track soon.

Beeks (arm) allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out one over one inning in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to Atlanta. He was charged with a blown save.

Beeks was hit by a comebacker Thursday versus the Rays, but his X-rays were negative, and he ultimately needed just one day off to recover. However, his performance Saturday was his worst of the season, as he threw 16 of 28 pitches for strikes and allowed Atlanta to rally for the lead in the eighth inning. This was just the second outing this season in which Beeks has given up a run, which has lifted him into a high-leverage role as a setup man over the last two weeks. He's posted a 2.25 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB while adding four holds and a 1-0 record over 16 innings. Beeks saw some late-inning work in 2024, logging 10 saves and eight holds between the Rockies and the Pirates, and A.J. Puk's recent elbow injury has further improved his standing in the Diamondbacks' bullpen heirarchy.

Pagan picked up the one-inning save in Sunday's 6-4 victory over the Rockies, allowing one run on a hit and a walk. He struck out three.

Pagan looked to be cruising to another save by striking out the first two batters swinging in the ninth. However, he then yielded a walk and a double to snap his streak of three consecutive scoreless outings before securing the win with another strikeout. Pagan now sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.53 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB across 13.1 innings. He remains the closer over Alexis Diaz -- who pitched in the eighth inning for a hold.
