Neris agreed to a one-year, major-league contract with the Astros on Saturday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

After spending time with the Angels and Atlanta earlier this season, Neris will now return to Houston for his third stint with the Astros in the last four years. The 36-year-old right-hander will immediately be granted a spot in the big-league bullpen, despite owning a 7.80 ERA over 15 innings on the season. Houston is likely to deploy Neris in lower-leverage spots initially.

Weaver (1-3) took the loss and was charged with a blown save Friday against the Mets. He allowed two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one batter in one-third of an inning.

Weaver entered in the seventh inning with the Yankees clinging to a one-run lead. Tim Hill had retired the first two batters in the frame without incident before manager Aaron Boone went to Weaver to face Pete Alonso. The righty reliever walked Alonso, then served up a Jeff McNeil two-run shot that gave the Mets the lead. It was another in a series of poor outings by Weaver, who has given up a long ball in each of his three appearances so far in July and has yielded seven runs (six earned) across just 1.2 frames during that span. His struggles have essentially cemented Devin Williams as New York's primary closer.

Sands will start Saturday's game against the Rays.

Sands pitched one-third of an inning during a win in Friday's series opener, and the Twins will now let him face the top of Tampa Bay's batting order to begin Saturday's game. The 27-year-old isn't expected to last more than an inning or two before turning things over to Minnesota's bullpen.

The Twins optioned Funderburk to Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

After tossing a shutout inning against the Marlins on Thursday, Funderburk will head back to the minors, where he owns a 1.69 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through 21.1 frames. Travis Adams was recalled from Triple-A to fill the open roster spot.

The Twins recalled Adams from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

The Twins are going to use Cole Sands as their starter Saturday against the Rays, but Adams is expected to get in the game at some point, which will mark his MLB debut. The 25-year-old right-hander has made 19 appearances (five starts) in Triple-A this year and owns a 3.68 ERA with a 1.23 WHIP and a 58:20 K:BB through 63.2 innings. Kody Funderburk was optioned to St. Paul in a corresponding move.

Green (3-2) struck out one in a scoreless 10th inning Friday to record the win in a 3-2 victory over the Angels.

He did plunk Nolan Schanuel with a pitch, but it was otherwise another tidy performance from Green. The veteran right-hander has been scored upon only once in his last nine appearances, posting a 1.04 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB through 8.2 innings over that stretch, and he's worked his way back into a high-leverage spot in the Toronto bullpen as a result, collecting two holds and a win in his last four outings.

Cantillo is listed as the Guardians' scheduled starter for Tuesday's game in Houston.

Cantillo will be making his second turn through the Cleveland rotation after he was called up from Triple-A Columbus to start in Thursday's 1-0 extra-inning loss to the Cubs after Luis L. Ortiz was placed on the restricted list. Ortiz will remain out through at least the All-Star break while he remains the subject of an ongoing league investigation, so Cantillo looks as though he'll be in line for a two-start week to close out the Guardians' first-half schedule, with the young lefty's second turn expected to come next Sunday against the White Sox. After he hadn't covered four innings in any of his four starts with Triple-A Columbus prior to being recalled Thursday, Cantillo handled a light workload in his outing against the Cubs, tossing 68 pitches over 3.1 scoreless innings while striking out five batters.

Taylor gave up a hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his third save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Rockies.

The rookie right-hander is separating himself from the pack in the White Sox bullpen. Taylor has three of the team's last four saves, and the only exception came one day after he'd thrown 31 pitches over two innings against the Giants. His stuff warrants getting a chance to establish himself as a dominant late-inning arm, as he topped out at 101.3 mph with his fastball Friday while getting whiffs with both his slider and curveball. Through his first 12.1 big-league innings, Taylor has a 4.38 ERA, but he has yet to allow a homer and sports a much more impressive 0.97 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB.

Bautista pitched a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 17th save of the season in a 3-2 win over Atlanta.

He didn't strike out a batter in an appearance for the first time since June 4, but it was still another impressive performance from Bautista. The right-hander has blown only one save chance all season, and since May 26 he's gone 10-for-10 with a 1.20 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB through 15 innings.

Holton (4-3) tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Guardians. He allowed one hit and struck out four.

After starter Reese Olson (finger) logged 4.1 innings in his return from the injured list following about six weeks on the shelf, Holton stepped in and provided valuable relief. The lefty has had a few rough outings this season, but he's now made five straight scoreless appearances (7.2 innings) and has lowered his ERA to a solid 3.86 overall. The 29-year-old has also contributed eight holds to go along with his four wins. Holton is one of Detroit's top bullpen arms with a flexible role, giving him some fantasy value in deeper formats.
