Reyes was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Reyes has allowed four runs over four innings during his brief time with the Angels over the past two seasons. He'll operate in a low-leverage relief role.

Devenski was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday with a strained right hamstring, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Devenski has struggled lately, particularly in his last appearance when he gave up five runs while recording just two outs. Jimmy Herget will slide into his spot in the Angels' bullpen.

Herget was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Herget was a key reliever with the Angels last season but has struggled during his time with the big club in 2023, holding a 5.17 ERA in 15 relief appearances. He's take Chris Devenski's spot on the roster.

Jackson (elbow) did not feel any residual effects from Saturday's bullpen session, the team's official site reports.

Jackson reported feeling good Sunday and is now set to face live hitters in a batting practice session as his next step. The right-hander last saw game action May 16, so he projects for a fairly lengthy rehab assignment whenever he reaches that stage of his recovery.

Jimenez (shoulder) came out of Saturday's 15-pitch live batting practice session feeling good, the team's official site reports.

It's another step in the right direction during the extensive recovery process for Jimenez, whose stint on the injured list will hit three months Wednesday. The right-hander's ability to get through facing live hitters without residual issues is another positive, but he remains without a timetable for return.

Erceg (2-1) took the loss against the Twins on Sunday, allowing two earned runs on two hits and two walks without recording an out.

Erceg's outing headed south immediately, as he allowed a walk and an infield single to load the bases before surrendering a three-run double to Alex Kirilloff that erased Minnesota's 3-2 deficit for good. After not conceding an earned run for nine consecutive appearances between June 7 and June 27, Erceg has now pitched to an abysmal 18.00 ERA and 3.33 WHIP across the six innings covering his last six trips to the mound, albeit while also recording an impressive 13 strikeouts in that span.

Bazardo was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

He's the corresponding roster move for the promotion of Grayson Rodriguez, Bazardo has allowed four runs in 2.1 innings during his brief time in the majors this season.

Jackson (2-0) picked up the win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday, striking out one in a perfect inning of relief.

Yusei Kikuchi ran up his pitch count and left the game after 4.2 innings with the score tied, and Jackson wound up as the pitcher of record after replacing him when the Jays took the lead for good in the bottom of the fifth. The 35-year-old has been excellent in a low-leverage role for Toronto, posting a 1.00 ERA, 0.56 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB in nine innings over seven appearances this season.

Swanson picked up his second save of the season Sunday, giving up a hit before recording the final out of a 7-5 win over Arizona.

The Blue Jays took a 7-2 lead into the ninth inning, but Mitch White made a mess of things by walking the bases loaded with two outs, forcing Swanson into the game as Jordan Romano (back) was unavailable. The right-hander did serve up a bases-clearing double to Ketel Marte before closing out the win, but all the runs were charged to White. Swanson has seen his numbers erode over the last month or so, and he carries a 4.38 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB in his last 12.1 innings. He remains in Toronto's high-leverage mix and has six holds over that stretch in addition to Sunday's save, but Yimi Garcia may be the more trusted arm from the right side at the moment.

Holmes allowed a run on two hits in one-third of an inning, taking a blown save Sunday versus the Rockies.

Holmes was in a tight situation with the bases loaded and two outs following a tough outing from Tommy Kahnle. C.J. Cron hit a grand slam off Holmes in the eighth inning, handing the Yankees' top reliever his third blown save of the season. He's now at a 2.39 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 47:15 K:BB while going 11-for-14 in save chances and adding five holds over 37.2 innings in a general high-leverage role.
