The Twins optioned Adams to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

The corresponding move will come Tuesday, when Simeon Woods Richardson is expected to be recalled from Triple-A to start against the Rangers. Adams was called up over the weekend and did not make an appearance out of the Minnesota bullpen.

Uceta (5-1) didn't allow a baserunner across two scoreless innings with three strikeouts to earn the win Sunday against the Marlins.

Uceta struggled in his appearance Friday, allowing two earned runs on three hits while recording just one out. However, he bounced back Sunday and generated an impressive six swinging strikes on only 25 total pitches while also picking up his fifth win of the season. Uceta has a 4.88 ERA on the campaign, but he has turned in a scoreless effort in seven of his last eight appearances.

Munoz picked up the save Sunday against the Angels, allowing one walk and no hits with two strikeouts over a scoreless ninth inning.

Munoz blew each of his last two save chances, but he bounced back with a scoreless ninth frame Sunday to grab his first save since May 23. The 26-year-old hadn't allowed an earned run before his pair of blown saves, and his ERA currently sits at 1.35. Munoz's 18 saves rank third in baseball.

Chapman picked up the save Sunday against the Yankees, striking out the only batter he faced over one-third of an inning.

Chapman's services weren't needed to start the ninth, as the Red Sox led 11-5. However, Robert Stock walked three batters and allowed a two-run home run to Aaron Judge, forcing Alex Cora to turn to Chapman to register the final out. Chapman got Anthony Volpe to strike out on three pitches. He's up to 11 saves this season, and he hasn't allowed a hit in his last five appearances, spanning 4.1 innings. Chapman's 1.71 ERA would be his best mark since 2016.

Brash threw a scoreless eighth inning in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Angels. He struck out two.

Sunday marked yet another scoreless outing by Brash, who has rattled off 12 such efforts in a row to begin his season and comeback from 2024 Tommy John surgery. The hard-throwing right-hander remains behind Andres Munoz, who collected his 18th save of the year against Los Angeles, in Seattle's bullpen hierarchy, but Brash has excelled as one of the club's top setup men. Through 10.1 innings, he sports a 12:4 K:BB and 1.06 WHIP to go with his 0.00 ERA and six holds.

Garcia earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Nationals, allowing one hit while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Garcia set down James Wood to close out the eighth inning before coming back out for the ninth, working around Nathaniel Lowe's one-out double by striking out the final two batters to lock down his fourth save this year. It was a strong effort from Garcia, after he allowed three runs on four hits in a blown save against the Rays in his last appearance. Overall, Garcia sports a 3.12 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB across 26 innings this season.

Schultz was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo after Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Twins.

Schultz tossed a scoreless frame in the bottom of the eighth inning Sunday, allowing two hits while striking out the side. The right-hander posted a 3.06 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 24 strikeouts over 17.2 innings in eight appearances, including two starts, with Toronto after being called up May 24. Spencer Turnbull was called up from Buffalo in a corresponding move, but Schultz will likely return to the major-league roster in the not-too-distant future.

Duran earned the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays after allowing one hit and no walks while striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.

Duran opened the ninth strongly by striking out George Springer, and he was able to work past a Nathan Lukes single to retire the last two batters. It was Duran's 10th save of the season and first since May 27, and he sports a 1.19 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 36:11 K:BB across 30.1 innings.

Estevez earned the save in Sunday's 7-5 win over the White Sox, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one in one inning. He let two inherited runners score but was not charged with any earned runs.

Estevez entered the ninth with a 7-3 lead and the bases loaded after Trevor Richards struggled to start the inning. Two of the baserunners came around to score on a single and a groundout, but Estevez was ultimately able to put out the fire. The 32-year-old leads the American League with 19 saves and owns a 1.88 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB across 28.2 innings.

Clase earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Astros, allowing two hits in a scoreless ninth.

Clase worked around back-to-back singles to Yainer Diaz and Jake Meyers to come away with the save, needing just 12 pitches (six strikes) to do so. Clase has converted 10 straight save opportunities, with his last blown save taking place April 20 against the Pirates. He has yielded just one earned run since the beginning of May and has a 3.54 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 30:5 K:BB across 28 innings this season.
