    Reds' Carson Spiers: Out with shoulder impingement

    The Reds placed Spiers on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right shoulder impingement, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    The 27-year-old was called up Friday and was scheduled to start Sunday in place of Nick Lodolo (paternity), but Hunter Greene's short outing Saturday resulted in Spiers covering four frames out of the bullpen. The right-hander apparently tweaked his shoulder while giving up four runs, so he'll be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. Randy Wynne was selected to the MLB roster Sunday and could provide some length behind opener Brent Suter against the Orioles.

    Reds' Brent Suter: Set to start Sunday

    Suter will start Sunday's game against the Orioles, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    Sunday's previously scheduled starter Carson Spiers was needed to pitch Saturday and is now on the injured list with a shoulder issue, prompting the Reds to turn to Suter as an opener for the series finale in Baltimore. The left-hander has given up two earned runs with a 3:1 K:BB across 6.2 innings this season, and he should turn things over to the Cincinnati bullpen after an inning or two. Randy Wynne was added to the roster for Sunday's contest and is a candidate to work in bulk relief.

    Reds' Randy Wynne: Promoted Sunday

    The Reds selected Wynne's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    The right-hander could provide some length behind opener Brent Suter versus the Orioles on Sunday, though the Reds haven't announced their pitching plans beyond Suter. Wynne has a 3.06 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB across 17.2 innings through four starts with Louisville this season, and if he does pitch Sunday, it will be his first big-league appearance since he made his debut in 2023.

  • Tyler Rogers RP | TOR

    Giants' Tyler Rogers: Throws perfect inning Saturday

    Rogers picked up a hold in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Angels, pitching a perfect inning and striking out one.

    Rogers entered the game in the eighth frame and retired the side, throwing eight of his 12 pitches for strikes. The veteran right-hander hasn't allowed a hit in his last three appearances, and he's been charged with only one earned run this season. Over 11 appearances in the 2025 campaign, Rogers has recorded a 0.87 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and a 9:2 K:BB with six holds across 10.1 innings.

  • Matt Chapman 3B | SF

    Giants' Matt Chapman: Logs fourth homer in win

    Chapman went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk during Saturday's 3-2 win over the Angels.

    Chapman put the Giants on the board in the first frame, blasting a 384-foot homer to left field off righty Kyle Hendricks. The third baseman has delivered four multi-hit games over his last five appearances, hitting .500 with five RBI, two home runs, a double and a 5:4 BB:K in that span. The 31-year-old owns the Giants' second-highest on-base percentage through 21 games and is now slashing .250/.407/.458 with a 19:23 BB:K across 91 plate appearances.

  • Kirby Yates RP | PIT

    Dodgers' Kirby Yates: Blows save in Texas

    Yates (1-1) allowed two runs on two hits without recording an out to take the loss and a blown save Saturday against the Rangers.

    The right-hander entered to protect a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning against his former club, but a Josh Smith double and Adolis Garcia two-run homer quickly resulted in a walk-off win for the Rangers. It was the first save chance of the year for Yates, who entered the contest with six straight scoreless appearances and a 1.74 ERA for the season. Tanner Scott picked up his seventh save of the campaign in Friday's contest and should continue to operate as manager Dave Roberts' primary option at closer.

  • Austin Hays LF | SD

    Reds' Austin Hays: Hits in five straight games

    Hays went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles.

    Hays popped his home run in the ninth inning and has hit safely in all five games since being activated off the injured list last Tuesday. The long ball was his third to go along with seven RBI.

  • Jake Fraley RF | TB

    Reds' Jake Fraley: Homers in loss

    Fraley went 1-for-2 with three walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-5 loss to Baltimore.

    Fraley led off the second inning with a solo blast, his second homer in as many games. He's provided little offensively to start the season, going 6-for-35 with one RBI and three runs over his first 14 games, but Fraley's been coming on lately. The lefty-hitting outfielder is 6-for-14 with four walks, four extra-base hits, five RBI and four runs scored in his last four outings.

  • Diamondbacks' Justin Martinez: Stepping in as full-time closer

    Martinez is expected to be the Diamondbacks' primary closer after the team placed A.J. Puk (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Saturday.

    Puk will undergo an MRI when the team returns to Arizona following its road series against the Cubs. Martinez, who had been sharing closing duties with Puk, should become the main option in the ninth inning but could cede some save opportunities once Kevin Ginkel (shoulder) is activated. Martinez has not allowed a run while striking out 10 and walking one over seven innings.

  • Tim Tawa 1B | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Tim Tawa: Homers in loss

    Tawa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Cubs.

    Arizona's bats were mostly quiet on the day. Tawa's homer in the ninth inning, his second of the season, was one of only four hits for the team -- Corbin Carroll had the other three. Tawa has reached base safely in six of seven starts and is slashing .217/.321/.522 over nine outings since being called up to help fill in for the injured Ketel Marte (hamstring) at second base.
