The Twins placed De Leon (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right flexor strain, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

De Leon left Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Tigers with pain in his elbow while making a warm-up pitch. He's set to undergo an MRI and seems likely to miss more than the minimum 15 days.

Winckowski allowed three runs on five hits and one walk over two innings in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the White Sox.

Winckowski wasn't tagged with the loss, but one can argue he was the main reason for it. He allowed three solo home runs during his time on the mound, including a pair of homers in the bottom of the sixth inning after Boston had taken a 3-2 lead in the top half of the frame. It was a shocking result for Winckowski, who has been one of Boston's most trusted bullpen arms and had given up just three home runs over 42.1 innings (0.6 HR/9) prior to Saturday.

Romano struck out the only batter he faced Saturday to record his 23rd save of the season in a 7-3 win over the A's.

Yimi Garcia gave up back-to-back leadoff singles to begin the ninth inning before eventually exiting due to knee discomfort and being replaced by Romano, and with the potential tying run in the on-deck circle, the closer's five-pitch appearance qualified for a save. It's his 13th straight successful conversion, a stretch in which Romano sports a 1.98 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB through 13.2 innings.

Harris didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays, surrendering four runs on five hits and four walks over 4.2 innings of relief. He struck out six.

The lefty's strikeouts gave him a bit of a fantasy floor, and he avoided getting stuck with the loss, but only because opener Shintaro Fujinami had already put the A's in a hole they couldn't escape from before Harris set foot on the mound. The 26-year-old has held down a regular spot in the rotation in June, either as a traditional starter or bulk reliever, and the results have been mixed -- he has a 3.90 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 22:7 K:BB through 27.2 innings over five appearances. but all seven of those free passes came in two outings, making him a volatile option as a fantasy streamer. His next turn in the rotation lines up to come at home next weekend against the White Sox.

Marinaccio gave up a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday, recording his second save of the season in a 1-0 win over the Rangers.

Clay Holmes got the final two outs of the eighth inning after Wandy Peralta had created a bit of a mess, and with Michael King struggling of late, Marinaccio was summoned in the ninth instead to close things out. The second-year righty has earned his spot in the Yankees' high-leverage crew by not allowing an earned run since May 26, and over his last 12 appearances, Marinaccio has a 1.32 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB through 13.2 innings.

Holmes struck out one while recording two outs to pick up his fifth hold of the season in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.

Wandy Peralta gave up two singles to lead off the eighth inning, forcing manager Aaron Boone to turn to his closer early to shut down the rally. Holmes did make things dicey, pushing a runner to third base with a wild pitch, but he struck out Josh Jung to end the frame. The right-hander has returned to form in June with a 1.00 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB through nine innings, but Boone's willingness to deploy Holmes in high-leverage spots outside the ninth will likely continue to cost him save chances -- through his nine appearances this month, he has four saves, two holds and one win.

Blanco allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out six batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Saturday.

It looked like Blanco could be in for a rough outing when Los Angeles hit two homers and put up three runs in the first inning, but the right-hander didn't allow any runs or hits over the remainder of his start. He finished with the second quality start of his career, both of which have come over his past three appearances. Blanco got the start Saturday as a result of Brandon Bielak being demoted to the minors, and the former likely showed enough in recovering from the rough first frame to remain in the rotation. He's tentatively scheduled for a difficult matchup on the road against Texas his next time out.

Graveman (3-3) allowed an earned run on two walks and two hits while striking out two across one inning to earn the win Saturday against the Red Sox.

Graveman entered the game in the top of the ninth inning with a one-run lead. He got two outs without incident but then allowed an infield single before losing control of the strike zone and allowing the tying run to score. Even after lucking into a win, it was a subpar outing from Graveman. However, he's been very effective this season and entered Saturday's game having turned in scoreless efforts in 20 of his last 21 appearances. Given that track record, he should continue to get save chances as long as Liam Hendriks (elbow) is sidelined.

Clase picked up the save Saturday against Milwaukee. He allowed one hit while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

Clase took care of business Saturday, punching out two of the four batters he faced to lock down his 23rd save of the year, tied for the most in MLB. The outing extended his scoreless inning streak to 11 appearances (11.1 innings) and marked his sixth multi-strikeout performance in nine games.

Moore (oblique) told reporters Saturday that he won't be activated off the injured list Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Moore threw a bullpen before Saturday's game against the Rockies, and he told reporters it went "OK" but not well enough to come off the 15-day IL come Monday. The left-hander said he needs at least one more session, and when that will come will be determined by how he feels Sunday. Once active, Moore should again be a high-leverage option for the Angels bullpen.
