Garcia (shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock, MLB.com reports.

Garcia recently came out of a live session feeling well and is ready for the next step. The report didn't specify a date for when the assignment will begin, but it did indicate the Rangers want to see him throw multiple innings and pitch on back-to-back days.

Baumler (intercostal) will begin a rehab assignment for Triple-A Round Rock this week, MLB.com reports.

Baumler has been given the green light to head to Round Rock after he recently resumed facing live hitters at the Rangers' spring facility in Arizona. The Rangers want to see Baumler make appearances on consecutive days and throw multiple innings during his time in the minors before bringing him back from the 60-day injured list. The rookie Rule 5 Draft pick has been on the shelf since April 5 due to a right intercostal strain.

Latz struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Sunday against the Brewers to secure his 27th save of the season.

Latz was summoned with a three-run lead and retired Milwaukee in order on 12 pitches (seven strikes). The left-hander has now recorded a save in six of his last seven appearances while tossing nine scoreless innings during that stretch. Latz is enjoying a career year for Texas, sporting a 1.65 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 66:15 K:BB across 60 innings.

Urquidy did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Twins, allowing one run on three hits while striking out one over five innings of relief.

Urquidy inherited a 4-0 deficit in the fourth inning after Jordan Hicks and Tyler Gilbert handled the first three frames. He went on to finish out the contest while Luke Keaschall tagged him for his only run on a solo homer in the seventh. Across one start and three relief appearances since being recalled Aug. 14, Urquidy has allowed nine runs over 17.2 innings with a 14:4 K:BB. With Davis Martin back in the rotation, Chicago no longer requires both Urquidy and Erick Fedde in the mix, leaving Urquidy's role somewhat uncertain moving forward.

Walker picked up a hold Sunday against the Athletics, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless eighth inning. He struck out one.

The 31-year-old left-hander is emerging as a legitimate weapon out of the Baltimore bullpen in 2026. Walker has made 19 appearances for the Orioles, producing a 2.33 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB with three holds across 19.1 innings. He has not allowed a run in his last 10 appearances.

Cano picked up the save Sunday against the Athletics. He did not record a strikeout over a perfect inning.

Entering with a three-run cushion, Cano retired the side in order in the ninth inning to secure his third save of the season and a sweep for the Orioles. After a pair of blowup outings in which he surrendered six runs across two-thirds of an inning, the right-hander has bounced back with five consecutive scoreless appearances, though Sunday marked the first time during that stretch that he completed a full inning. Cano's 3.07 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB across 44 innings are strong enough to keep him in the ninth-inning equation, though Andrew Kittredge, who had pitched in each of the previous two games, appears to be Baltimore's top option for saves.

The Blue Jays optioned Van Eyk to Triple-A Buffalo after Sunday's 7-0 win over the Mariners.

Van Eyk was called up to the major-league roster Friday and went on deliver a scoreless inning of relief in the team's 8-1 victory over Seattle later that day. The right-hander went unused in the final two games of the series with the Mariners and will now head back to the minors.

Hader allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mets. He didn't strike out or walk a batter.

Hader got by pitching to contact Sunday, throwing seven of 13 pitches for strikes. He remains perfect in save chances, converting all 21 that have come his way this year, and he's on a 19-inning scoreless streak with a 20:3 K:BB in that span. Hader has a stellar 0.74 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 48:11 K:BB through 36.1 innings this season.

The Angels demoted Martin to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

After just four days with the big-league squad, the Halos are sending Martin back to Salt Lake. During his time in Triple-A this season, including with Durham in the Rays' system, the right-hander owns a 3-1 record, 2.79 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 55:27 K:BB over 48.1 innings. Los Angeles recalled Blake Weiman to take Martin's spot on the 26-man roster.

The Angels called up Weiman from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday.

Weiman will get his second stint in the majors this month. In eight games with the big-league club, Weiman owns a 3.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB over nine innings. The Angels optioned Trevor Martin to Salt Lake to free a spot on the active roster for Weiman.
