The Red Sox are expected to promote Guerrero from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Guerrero has spent most of the season in Triple-A, where he has a 4.43 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 16:11 K:BB across 20.1 innings. He's made four appearances out of the Red Sox's bullpen this season and has allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out four across 5.1 innings.

Hoffman gave up two runs on two hits and a walk in the ninth inning Saturday to record his 13th save of the season in an 8-7 win over the A's. He struck out one.

Keeping the ball in the yard was once again an issue for Hoffman, who served up a two-run blast to Brent Rooker with two outs. The right-hander's woes didn't end there -- his next pitch after the homer resulted in a double for Tyler Soderstrom, and Hoffman only avoided blowing the save when Ernie Clement robbed Shea Langeliers of a line-drive RBI single with a diving catch. Hoffman wraps up a nightmarish May with a 13.50 ERA over 10 innings thanks largely to five home runs allowed, and he blew three of his 10 save chances. Toronto hasn't indicated his job as closer is in jeopardy as of yet, but the 32-year-old will need to turn things around quickly in June to keep it that way.

Estevez earned the save in Saturday's 1-0 win over the Tigers, allowing one hit with no walks or strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.

Estevez was brought in for the ninth to maintain the Royals' lead and shutout bid. He allowed a single after retiring the first two batters, but he closed things out by inducing a Riley Greene groundout. Estevez has converted 16 of his 18 save opportunities this season and has not allowed a run over his last eight outings. He has a 1.78 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 23:3 K:BB across 25.1 innings this season.

Cruz (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

"I feel ready. No pain, no discomfort," Cruz told reporters after Saturday's session. The 35-year-old right-hander is recovering from right shoulder inflammation that caused him to land on the 15-day injured list May 22. Cruz is eligible to be reinstated from the IL on Tuesday and may not require a rehab assignment (barring any setbacks).

The Mariners optioned Legumina to Triple-A Tacoma following Friday's game against the Twins.

Legumina allowed just five runs (three earned) over his first 18 major-league outings with the Mariners. However, he has yielded eight runs (seven earned) over his last two appearances out of the bullpen, which has inflated his ERA and WHIP to 4.58 and 1.53, respectively, across 19.2 innings. The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Bryce Miller (elbow), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

Swanson (forearm) is with the Blue Jays in Toronto and could be reinstated from the 60-day injured list as soon as Sunday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Swanson is in the final stages of his recovery from carpal tunnel syndrome in his right forearm, which caused him to start the season on the IL. He's given up two hits and no walks while striking out four batters over his last five minor-league innings, and the the veteran right-hander appears to be on the cusp of rejoining the Blue Jays' bullpen. Swanson posted a 5.03 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, nine holds and a 37:14 K:BB across 39.1 innings for Toronto in 2024.

The Guardians recalled Enright from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Enright was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday, but he'll return to the majors after the Guardians placed Andrew Walters (lat) on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Enright made his major-league debut against the Tigers this past Sunday, and across two outings with the Guardians he has allowed three runs on two hits and one walk while striking out four in three innings.

The Guardians placed Walters on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a right lat strain, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Walters suffered the injury during the ninth inning of Friday's game against the Angels. The Guardians haven't determined whether Walters will need surgery, but the 24-year-old is expected to be sidelined for an extended period after president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said that the right-hander has been diagnosed with a "significant tear," per SI.com. Nic Enright was recalled from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move.

Martin (shoulder) will toss a bullpen session Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Martin landed on the 15-day injured list May 20 due to right shoulder fatigue. He has been cleared to resume his throwing program, and Rangers manager Bruce Bochy relayed Saturday that Martin may not need a rehab assignment as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks. Martin posted a 1.83 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, nine holds and a 23:3 K:BB across 19.2 innings prior to his placement on the IL.

Perez was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday after clearing waivers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Perez was DFA'd by the Orioles last Saturday after logging an 8.31 ERA, 2.12 WHIP and 21:18 K:BB across 21.2 innings. He'll remain in the Orioles organization and report to Triple-A, where he'll look to regain his control and perform well enough to warrant a return to the majors.
