The Angels placed Cimber on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation.

Cimber was touched up for four runs over one-third of an inning in Friday's 8-6 win over the Giants and will now be forced to miss at least 15 days due to the shoulder issue. Right-hander Jose Marte had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday and will replace Cimber in the Angels bullpen.

Joyce will serve as the Angels' opening pitcher for Sunday's matchup with the Giants, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Joyce will make his first career major-league start Sunday as the Angels will try to get two innings out of him before turning the game over to the bullpen. The right-hander has allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two batters over 3.2 innings in four appearances with the Angels this season. After Joyce serves as the opener, Jose Suarez and Carson Fulmer are considered candidates to fill bulk innings out of the bullpen.

Snead cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Snead was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Tuesday, but he'll now report to Triple-A after going unclaimed on waivers. The left-hander has appeared in 12 contests with Tacoma this season, producing a 2.92 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 12.1 innings.

Ober and the Twins won't play Saturday against the Athletics after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Estes and the Athletics won't play Saturday against the Twins after the game was postponed due to inclement weather,, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Estes will now draw the start in one of the two games during Sunday's split doubleheader. He has allowed three or fewer earned runs in three consecutive outings.

Calhoun is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Giants, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Calhoun will remain on the bench for a third game in a row. Taylor Ward will make another start at designated hitter after recently battling a back issue, while Kevin Pillar enters the lineup in left field and bats fourth versus San Francisco.

Hays is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Hays will get a breather after he went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in the team's 5-3 loss in extras in the series opener Friday. Colton Cowser will slide over to left field while Cedric Mullins enters the lineup in center field and bats seventh versus Philadelphia.

Mateo is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mateo will take a seat after he went 2-for-13 with a three-run home run, two runs scored and a stolen base while starting four consecutive games after being activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday. Jordan Westburg will slide over to second base while Ramon Urias enters the lineup at third base and bats ninth against Philadelphia.

Vespi was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

Vespi will return to the major-league bullpen after being sent down June 6, replacing Kyle Bradish (elbow) on the Orioles' roster following Bradish's placement on the 15-day injured list Saturday. The left-handed Vespi has made two appearances with Baltimore this season, tossing two scoreless innings while allowing two hits.

The Orioles placed Bradish (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right UCL sprain.

Bradish pitched five frames in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Phillies before leaving the contest with right elbow discomfort. Upon further examination, the 27-year-old was diagnosed with a UCL sprain, the same injury that kept him out for the first month of the season. Bradish avoided surgery the first time around, but a procedure could become a more distinct possibility if the rest and rehab isn't deemed a viable treatment plan after his latest setback. Even if Bradish receives a more favorable prognosis in the coming days, fantasy managers should still prepare for Bradish to miss more than the minimum 15 days. Left-hander Nick Vespi was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday to replace Bradish on Baltimore's major-league roster in a corresponding move.
