Treinen recorded his 17th save of the season Saturday against the White Sox. He struck out a pair in 1.2 innings and did not allow a hit or a walk.

Treinen came into the game with one out in the bottom of the eighth, trying to preserve a one-run lead with a man on second base. He got out of the eighth with a strikeout and a groundout. Two batters reached in the ninth inning on errors, but Treinen shut the door by getting Matt Davidson to ground into a double play. The outing lowered his ERA to a stellar 0.98, and he's striking out 11.1 batters per nine innings, making him one of the top closers in the game right now.

Mayza was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

Mayza has bounced back and forth between Toronto and Buffalo this season. In 10 major-league innings, the lefty has recorded a 2.70 ERA. Jaime Garcia was placed on the disabled list with a tender shoulder in a corresponding move.

Covey exited Saturday's game against the Athletics with right hip soreness.

Covey is considered day-to-day. Prior to suffering the injury, he was in the middle of a poor start, allowing four runs on four walks and a pair of hits, and he struck out just one batter in four innings. He did not factor into the decision. His next start was expected to come Friday against the Rangers, though the injury puts that start up in the air.

Mengden exited Saturday's game against the White Sox with a right foot sprain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Mengden had a tough time before leaving with the injury, allowing five runs on four hits and a walk, striking out just one in two innings. He did not end up factoring into the decision. Mengden has had foot injuries before and had foot surgery prior to the 2017 season. The seriousness of this particular injury is not yet clear.

Robles was claimed off waivers by the Angels and optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

Robles was designated for assignment by the Mets on Friday and was quickly scooped up by the Angels to provide some organizational depth. He appeared in 16 games for New York this season, posting a 5.03 ERA and a 23:10 K:BB across 19.2 innings. Look for him to eventually work his way up to the big leagues in the coming weeks, especially with the amount of injuries the Angels' staff has accumulated. In a corresponding move, Rene Rivera was transferred to the 60-day DL (knee).

Covey exited Saturday's start against the Athletics in the top of the fifth inning, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The White Sox released an announcement stating an update will come on his condition when more information is available. The right-hander was removed with a three-run lead and was replaced by Chris Volstad. Expect an update within the coming hours.

Scott was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday.

Scott, who appeared in his first big-league game of the season against Minnesota on Tuesday, only managed to record one out while giving up two earned runs off one walk and one hit batsman. In a corresponding move, the club recalled infielder Tzu-Wei Lin from the minors.

Hart was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports.

Hart has appeared in six games for the Orioles and has continued to log quality outings between Baltimore and Norfolk this season. He will likely be utilized in low-leverage situations while with the big-league team. Expect a corresponding move prior to Saturday's game against Atlanta as the Orioles replenish their bullpen following Friday's 15-inning outing.

Manager Kevin Cash said Stanek will likely open Sunday's "bullpen day" game against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.

Stanek also opened Friday's game, lasting just an inning but keeping the Yankees off the board while allowing a pair of baserunners. Barring an appearance during Saturday's contest, he will likely be utilized in the same capacity for Sunday's series finale.

Coulombe was optioned back down to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Coulombe served as the club's 26th man during Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader and narrowly escaped a jam after allowing three hits. The left-hander will likely return to Oakland in the near future once the bullpen needs some replenishments, as he's been relatively sharp over his last 15 appearances, logging a 2.13 ERA and 1.34 WHIP dating back to May 5. In a corresponding move, Nick Martini was recalled from the minors.
