The Orioles optioned Cano to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

An All-Star in 2023, Cano took a step back statistically in 2024 and has continued to see his performance trend downward in 2025. Though he's still tied for second on the team with 11 holds, Cano had been working mostly in middle relief since the beginning of June and owned underwhelming ratios (4.73 ERA, 1.39 WHIP) over 30 appearances. After seeing action Friday and Saturday, Cano was unlikely to be available for another day or two, so the Orioles elected to send him to Triple-A in favor of a fresh relief arm in right-hander Yaramil Hiraldo.

Double-A Erie placed Montalvo on its 7-day injured list June 6 due to an unspecified injury.

The 23-year-old right-hander produced a 4.50 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 34:18 K:BB in 44 innings over 11 appearances (10 starts) for Erie before landing on the shelf following his most recent start June 4. The Tigers haven't provided word on the nature of his injury, nor has the organization offered up a timeline for his return to the Erie rotation.

Spence (2-2) took the loss against Cleveland on Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three batters over 4.2 innings.

Spence's downfall was the second frame, when he gave up all four of his runs and six of his eight hits. Outside of that, he notched three 1-2-3 innings and just two singles. The four runs were a season-worst mark for Spence, who came into Saturday having allowed just two runs over 17 frames across his previous four starts. He'll try to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to be a tough road matchup versus the Yankees.

Clase earned a save against the Athletics on Saturday by throwing a perfect ninth inning without striking out a batter.

Clase needed just 12 pitches (eight of which were strikes) to retire the side in order and protect a two-run, ninth-inning lead. The veteran closer was effective despite not notching a strikeout for just the second time over his past nine outings. Clase's 3.58 ERA is well above his career norm, but he's still recorded 17 saves, tied for sixth-most in the majors.

Legumina recorded the final two outs in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Cubs, allowing no baserunners and fanning one.

June has been a productive month for Legumina, who now owns a 2.08 ERA and 11:3 K:BB over his last 8.2 innings. It's a much-needed rebound after he gave up a season-high six runs in his final outing of May, and Legumina should continue working primarily as a middle reliever while also seeing occasional high-leverage work when needed.

Thornton threw 2.1 scoreless innings of relief before exiting Saturday's eventual 10-7 loss to the Cubs due to heat exhaustion, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. He allowed one hit and two walks while fanning three.

Thornton had to be helped off the field in the eighth inning, but he's not expected to require additional medical treatment away from the team. After throwing a season-high 51 pitches Saturday, Thornton figures to get a few days off before he's available out of Seattle's bullpen again anyway since he covered multiple frames. The 31-year-old right-hander missed about a month of action due to appendicitis earlier this year, and he's mostly struggled with a 6.35 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB over 22.2 innings.

Martin (back) tossed a perfect ninth inning in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Pirates, striking out two batters to earn the save.

Martin had been out of action earlier in the week due to back stiffness, but he returned Friday and logged a hold after tossing a scoreless eighth inning. He got the call over Robert Garcia in Saturday's game and was tasked to protect the Rangers' one-run lead. Martin needed only 12 pitches (nine strikes) to get through the frame and capped things off by striking out Ke'Bryan Hayes. Martin now sports a 1.48 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB across 24.1 innings this season, and he's converted both of his save chances.

Gipson-Long worked in bulk relief during Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Rays, allowing four runs on six hits across 6.1 innings while not factoring into the decision. He struck out three.

After opener Brant Hurter failed to complete the first inning, Gipson-Long came in to retire the last batter of the frame and then worked the next six full innings. It's a season high in innings for the righty, who has now made four appearances since getting activated off the injured list earlier this month. Gipson-Long did allow his first three home runs of the year Saturday, though it was otherwise an encouraging outing for the 27-year-old as he continues to round into form following his long layoff after Tommy John and hip surgeries. He'll carry a 4.58 ERA into his next appearance, which is currently scheduled for Friday at home against the Twins.

Hurter (2-3) allowed four runs (no earned) on two hits and two walks while retiring only two batters to take the loss Saturday against the Rays. He also hit a batter.

Hurter served as the opener but struggled with control and couldn't complete the first inning. He was ultimately pulled after tossing 31 pitches (16 for strikes) and hitting his fifth batter of the year while also matching a season high in walks. The lefty has now allowed 11 runs across 10 innings pitched this month, though only four of them have been earned, and he still has a solid 2.29 ERA overall. Hurter should continue to work as a valuable reliever for the Tigers who also opens games on occasion.

Cousins announced on his personal Instagram account that he underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday.

Cousins had been dealing with injuries to his throwing arm since spring and wasn't able to pitch in any games this season. If all goes well in his recovery from surgery, he could be ready to return to game action sometime during the summer of 2026.
