Giants' Lou Trivino: Dropped from 40-man roster
The Giants designated Trivino for assignment Sunday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
The reliever lost his spot on the 40-man roster after delivering a 6.35 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over 11.1 innings in 10 appearances with the Giants this season. If he goes unclaimed off waivers, he'll either report to Triple-A Sacramento or elect to become a free agent. In a corresponding move, the Giants recalled right-hander Kyle Harrison from Sacramento.

Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Exits early in Game 2
Winn exited Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets in the top of the fifth inning with a left ankle sprain, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Winn twisted his ankle in the bottom of the third inning when he tripped over third base while avoiding a collision with third baseman Mark Vientos. Winn was able to tough it out for another frame but ultimately had to exit the contest, bringing his night to a close after going 1-for-1 with a walk and a run scored in the game. Jose Barrero replaced him at shortstop, and the severity of Winn's injury is currently unclear.

Ryne Nelson SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Set for start Monday
Nelson will start Monday's game against the Mets in Arizona, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
Nelson will get a turn in the rotation after the Diamondbacks decided to have Corbin Burnes (shoulder) skip a start while dealing with right shoulder inflammation. The right-hander made 25 starts for Arizona in 2024 but has worked exclusively out of the bullpen so far this season, logging a 5.82 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 20 strikeouts over 17 innings in seven appearances. He got stretched out to four innings and tossed a season-high 68 pitches in his most recent relief outing ,ast Tuesday, so Nelson should be able to handle something close to a typical starter's workload Monday.

Geraldo Perdomo SS | ARI
Diamondbacks' Geraldo Perdomo: Fuels offense in extra-inning win
Perdomo went 4-for-5 with two steals, two doubles, three RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning victory at Philadelphia.
The Arizona shortstop shined brightly in this performance, notching his first career four-hit game. This game also marked the fifth time Perdomo has swiped two bags in a contest in his five-year career. The 25-year-old continues his stellar start, as he's now slashing .292/.400/.475 with five homers, nine steals, 29 RBI and 18 runs scored across 152 plate appearances.

Shelby Miller RP | CHC
Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller: Blows save, picks up win
Miller (3-0) blew the save but collected the win in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning victory over the Phillies. He allowed two runs on four hits and no walks with two strikeouts over an inning.
After opening the ninth inning with two straight punchouts, Miller then allowed a 408-foot solo shot to Kyle Schwarber, opening the floodgates. The Phillies then cracked three consecutive singles to score the tying run before Miller induced a Bryson Stott groundout to escape the frame. The Arizona right-hander was the favorite for the closer's role due to Justin Martinez (shoulder) and A.J. Puk (elbow) being on the injured list, but he won't have a long leash considering the Diamondbacks have a talented bullpen with Kevin Ginkel, Ryan Thompson and Jalen Beeks as alternate saves options. Through 14.2 innings, Miller sports a 1.23 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB.

Jalen Beeks RP | TEX
Diamondbacks' Jalen Beeks: Tallies first save
Beeks picked up the save in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning win at Philadelphia, allowing one unearned run on two hits and no walks with no strikeouts over one inning.
After Shelby Miller coughed up a two-run lead in the ninth, Beeks was called upon in the 10th inning and bagged his first save since Sept. 11, 2024. The Arizona southpaw allowed the automatic runner to score but secured the victory on 20 total pitches. With Justin Martinez (shoulder) and A.J. Puk (elbow) on the injured list, Miller had looked like the presumptive closer; however, given Beeks' steady performance over 18.2 innings with a 1.93 ERA and 17:6 K:BB, he may garner additional save opportunities.

Ranger Suarez SP | BOS
Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Shelled in return
Suarez took a no-decision in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning loss against Arizona, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.
After a sharp four-outing rehab stint that saw the Philadelphia southpaw pitch to a 1.08 ERA and 24:5 K:BB across 16.2 innings, Suarez unraveled in this 82-pitch outing. After cruising through two scoreless innings with four Ks, Suarez allowed three runs on three hits in the third inning. The Diamondbacks dropped four more runs on four hits in the next frame, chasing Suarez with two outs in the inning. The 29-year-old will look to bounce back in his next start, currently slated to be at Cleveland next weekend.

Eduardo Rodriguez SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Punches out 10 in no-decision
Rodriguez did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-9 extra-inning win over the Phillies, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and four walks with 10 strikeouts over 5.1 innings.
The veteran southpaw notched his second double-digit strikeout performance of the season, producing 15 whiffs. Despite the solid number of Ks, Rodriguez struggled to find the zone, issuing a season-worst four free passes and throwing just 57 strikes out of 101 total pitches. Through 38 innings, the 32-year-old's ERA now stands at 5.92; however, things have been better under the hood with a 4.03 FIP and 45:12 K:BB. Rodriguez is currently scheduled to make his next outing against the Dodgers at home this weekend.

Sal Frelick RF | MIL
Brewers' Sal Frelick: Requires MRI for knee injury
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after Sunday's 4-0 win over the Cubs that Frelick will undergo an MRI on his left knee, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
Frelick flied out in the second inning and appeared to tweak his knee at one point during the plate appearance. He initially stayed in the game, but the Brewers pulled him from the contest prior to the fourth inning and attributed his early exit to left knee discomfort. The Brewers should have a firmer diagnosis available for Frelick once the results of the MRI are read, but the fact that he required additional testing doesn't seem to bode well for his chances of being available for Monday's series opener versus the Astros.
