Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said that Allard is "definitely an option" to enter the rotation after Ben Lively (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Triple-A Columbus lefty Doug Nikhazy and rehabbing right-hander Slade Cecconi (oblique) also represent options to fill the opening in the big-league rotation, but Allard may have the edge since his pitching schedule had been aligned with Lively's. After making four starts for Columbus, Allard has excelled while working in a long-relief role for Cleveland, turning in a 1.20 ERA and 0.87 WHIP over 15 frames. When Lively left his latest start Monday against the Brewers after working just three innings, Allard followed him with three scoreless innings of his own. Since he hasn't tossed more than 52 pitches in any outing in May, Allard could be on a light workload restriction if he's called upon to start when Lively's next turn comes up this weekend in Cincinnati.

The Twins recalled Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul ahead of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Orioles.

Minnesota is designating Funderburk as its 27th man for the twin bill, so he'll presumably head back to St. Paul after the second game of the day concludes. The 28-year-old southpaw has previously made two relief appearances for the Twins this season, giving up two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out five over four innings.

Stephenson (elbow) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Inland Empire on Tuesday, allowing one run over one inning.

It was Stephenson's first game appearance in more than a year, as he's nearly completed the long road back from UCL reconstruction with an internal brace. Given the long layoff, Stephenson will likely require most, if not all, of his allotted 30 rehab days before joining the Angels' bullpen.

Weissert (1-1) took the extra-innings loss Tuesday after allowing four runs (two earned) on three hits in an inning-plus against Detroit. He struck out one and was charged with a blown save.

Weissert blew the 7-6 lead in the 10th inning and allowed the game to go into the 11th, where he coughed up a walk-off three-run shot to Javier Baez. Weissert lost his 7.2-inning scoreless streak and has now blown both his save chances this season. His ERA rose to 3.44 with a 19:5 K:BB across 19 appearances. Aroldis Chapman threw a scoreless ninth inning and has maintained his role as Boston's primary closer.

Hoffman (3-2) was charged with a blown save and the loss Tuesday against the Rays after allowing five runs on four hits and a walk while picking up a strikeout as the only out he recorded.

Hoffman entered to begin the ninth protecting a one-run lead and got off on the right foot with a strikeout, but everything went downhill from there. He proceeded to give up three singles and a walk before Junior Caminero launched a grand slam to put the Rays up 11-7. Hoffman's now allowed 11 runs in his last five appearances after allowing just two runs in 16.1 innings prior to his recent struggles. He's up to a 6.05 ERA but still sports an excellent 31:4 K:BB in 19.1 innings.

Munoz blew the save Tuesday against the Yankees after allowing one unearned run in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

It was the second blown save of the year by Munoz, whose run allowed went unearned due to a throwing error by Dylan Moore as he tried to throw a runner out at home plate. As a result, Munoz is still without an earned run on his ledger in 2025, and he also sports a 0.79 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB over 19 innings. Despite Tuesday's blown save, Munoz still leads the American League with 13 saves this season as Seattle's clear-cut closer.

Jansen (0-2) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk while failing to record an out, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Padres.

Jansen walked Elias Diaz and gave up a walk-off home run to Fernando Tatis in the ninth inning. This was not a save situation, as the game was tied when Jansen took the mound. Over five appearances in May, he's allowed eight runs across three innings while taking both of his losses on the year. Those two outings are the only ones in which he's been scored upon, but they have him at an unsightly 6.55 ERA with a 1.45 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB over 11 innings. He's still 7-for-7 in save chances, and he'll likely keep the closer role if he can avoid melting down in save situations.

Schreiber (1-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros after giving up a walk-off home run before recording an out in the ninth inning.

It wasn't a blown save due to the game being tied at 1-1 before he served up the homer to Isaac Paredes, but Schreiber still allowed his first run since April 16. The 31-year-old right-hander has worked in a setup role along with Lucas Erceg ahead of closer Carlos Estevez this year, which has prevented Schreiber from seeing a single save opportunity so far in 2025. Through his first 17 innings, Schreiber sports a 2.12 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB.

Armstrong picked up the save after throwing a clean ninth inning in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Colorado. He struck out three.

Chris Martin was initially summoned to work the ninth, but he was pulled before recording an out due to right elbow tightness. That setback coupled with setup man Robert Garcia having worked each of the past two days forced manager Bruce Bochy to turn to Armstrong, who struck out the side on 17 pitches for his first save of the year. Luke Jackson is currently managing a hand injury, so Armstrong could be in line for a short-term boost in high-leverage work until Texas' bullpen gets healthier. Armstrong owns a 3.06 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB over 17.2 innings this season.

Brieske (1-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit over one inning of work but managed to earn the win in Tuesday's 10-9 victory over the Red Sox in 11 innings. He struck out two.

Brieske allowed a home run in the 11th inning, which brought home the automatic runner and gave Boston a 9-7 lead. However, the reliever scooped up his first win of the season when the Tigers answered back with three runs in the bottom of the inning. Brieske missed a few weeks earlier in the year due to right ankle inflammation, and he's yet to really get going, as he's sitting with a 7.11 ERA across 12.2 innings. The righty recorded a 3.59 ERA across 67.2 regular-season innings in 2024.
