Headrick was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Sunday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Pirates.

Headrick will head to Triple-A after pitching 5.1 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out nine batters over four appearances out of the bullpen with New York so far this season. The transaction makes room for Adam Ottavino on the 26-man roster after Ottavino was re-signed by the team Sunday night.

Hader (1-0) tossed two perfect innings, striking out three batters on his way to a win in Sunday's 9-7 extra-inning victory over the Twins.

Hader was tasked with keeping the game tied at 7-7 in the bottom of the ninth inning, setting the Twins down in order, including a strikeout. He then returned to the mound for the bottom of the 10th after Houston took a 9-7 lead in the top of the frame and worked around the inherited runner at second to secure his first win of the year. Hader has now allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings in four appearances out of the bullpen this season.

Blanco pitched 1.2 innings, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters in Sunday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Twins. He did not factor into the decision.

Blanco was in trouble early Sunday, surrendering three hits and a walk in the first inning, which resulted in three runs for Minnesota. He then walked two batters and gave up two singles while recording just two outs in the second frame. Blanco has now combined to allow seven runs on eight hits and six walks while striking out nine batters over 6.2 innings in two starts this season. His next turn in the rotation is tentatively set to come Saturday at home against the Angels.

Warren did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Pirates, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk with five strikeouts over four innings.

Warren labored through four innings, tallying 87 total pitches and yielding four runs over his final two frames. Through two starts, the 25-year-old owns a 6.00 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB across nine innings. He's slated for a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Contreras is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Contreras will head to Triple-A after posting a 9.00 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with six strikeouts over six innings in five appearances with the Astros so far this season. His demotion will create an opening in the bullpen for Logan VanWey, who is expected to be called up from Triple-A ahead of Monday's game in Seattle.

VanWey is expected be called up from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

VanWey will join the Astros ahead of their series in Seattle after making four appearances out of the bullpen for Sugar Land so far this season, posting a 4.50 ERA and 2.00 WHIP with seven strikeouts over four innings. Houston is expected to option Luis Contreras to Triple-A to clear a spot in the bullpen for VanWey, who will be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.

Robles (arm) exited Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Giants early with a left arm injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Robles made a spectacular catch in right field for the second out in the bottom of the ninth inning, but he collided with the wall in foul territory and was ultimately carted off the field. The outfielder's status will likely be updated in the near future, but Robles appears to be set to miss some action moving forward.

Brebbia (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the White Sox.

Brebbia worked the top of the ninth inning with the Tigers down 3-1 and ended up walking away with his first win of the season when Detroit scored three times in the bottom half of the frame. The veteran righty was 0-6 with a 5.86 ERA for the White Sox and Atlanta last year, but he's got a sparkling 0.00 ERA across five innings so far in 2025 to go along with his 1-0 record.

Baez went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

Baez is now 6-for-18 this season, and all six hits have come in a pair of three-hit performances. The veteran could use a little more consistency moving forward, though after seeing his average tumble to .184 during the 2024 regular season, the early 2025 results are at least a step in the right direction.

Wong is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Wong will head to the bench after he went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Boston's 5-4 extra-inning win in the first game of the doubleheader. Carlos Narvaez will take over behind the plate and bat eighth in the nightcap.
