Eaton went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Seattle.

Eaton started in right field and delivered Boston's lone run, blasting a solo shot to left field in the third inning. After opening the year with Triple-A Worcester, the 29-year-old was recalled June 8 and has played sparingly since. Across five major-league appearances this season, Eaton has gone 1-for-8 (.125) with two walks, with Sunday's homer accounting for his lone hit.

Munoz picked up the save in Sunday's 3-1 victory over the Red Sox. He allowed a hit and no walks while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

Munoz had little trouble finishing off the Red Sox, working past a one-out single from Mickey Gasper by striking out Willson Contreras and Jarren Duran to secure his 13th save of the season. It has been an uneven campaign for the well-regarded closer, as he owns a 5.27 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB with five blown saves across 27.1 innings (30 appearances). Munoz has gotten the job done of late, though, converting a save in each of his three most recent outings with no runs allowed.

Tolle (3-5) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings against the Mariners. He struck out two.

Tolle churned out a quality start, but he recorded a season-low two strikeouts while taking the loss. After surrendering just three homers through his first nine outings, the southpaw has now allowed three long balls across his past two starts, with Dominic Canzone taking him deep in the second inning Sunday. Tolle will take a 3.08 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 62:18 K:BB across 64.1 innings (11 starts) into his next appearance, tentatively scheduled for Friday against the Yankees.

Gilbert (6-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over 6.1 innings against the Red Sox. He struck out eight.

Gilbert was in control throughout the outing, with his lone blemish coming on a Nate Eaton solo homer in the third inning. The big right-hander has punched out at least eight batters in three of his past four starts and reached the 100-strikeout mark in Sunday's win. Gilbert will take a 3.29 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 93 innings (16 starts) into his next outing, which is lined up for next weekend against the Guardians.

Backhus (elbow) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list Monday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Backhus will make his return to the major-league roster after missing nearly two months of action while nursing left elbow inflammation. The southpaw made five appearances with Triple-A Lehigh Valley during his minor-league rehab assignment, tossing 4.2 innings of one-run ball while striking out seven batters. Backhus will provide Philadelphia with another left-handed option out of the bullpen to go with Jose Alvarado and Tim Mayza.

The Phillies optioned Lazar to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following Sunday's 6-2 win over the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Lazar will return to the Triple-A level after he surrendered two runs on three hits while striking out four batters over four innings in three appearances with the Phillies following his call-up Tuesday. Philadelphia is expected to activate left-hander Kyle Backhus (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Monday to take Lazar's spot in the bullpen.

The Phillies designated Wilson for assignment following Sunday's 6-2 win over the Mets, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

After being called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Wilson made one appearance during his brief stay with Philadelphia, tossing two scoreless innings out of the bullpen. If Wilson ends up going unclaimed off waivers, he'll have the option of sticking around in the Philadelphia organization and reporting back to Triple-A or electing free agency.

The Reds are expected to call up Garcia from Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Garcia will be making his MLB debut if/when he gets into a game. The 31-year-old has posted a 3.03 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 54 strikeouts over 35.2 innings in 21 appearances with Louisville this season. He'll provide Cincinnati with another right-handed option out of the bullpen.

The Cubs announced June 10 that Martin (elbow) has resumed playing catch, MLB.com reports.

Back on April 27, Martin was diagnosed with a left elbow flexor strain, an injury that was expected to keep him on the shelf for about eight weeks. Though he was recently able to start throwing again, Martin has yet to advance to facing hitters and looks as though he'll wind up missing more time than originally anticipated. Martin had gotten off to a strong start to the season prior to being shelved, posting a 2.16 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB in 8.1 innings over eight appearances.

Zazueta was promoted to Double-A Tulsa on Sunday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.

Zazueta will move up a level in the Dodgers' minor-league farm system after producing a 3.88 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with 66 punchouts over 48.2 innings in 11 appearances, including 10 starts, with High-A Great Lakes so far this season. The 21-year-old will look to continue his early-season success against some tougher competition at the Double-A level.
