    Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Yields HR in non-save appearance

    Clase allowed a solo home run and struck out one during the ninth inning of Sunday's 6-3 win over the Marlins.

    Clase took the mound in the ninth inning despite the Guardians owning a four-run lead, and he surrendered a two-out solo homer to Jake Burger during the outing. Due to the score, Clase wasn't eligible for a save, though the Guardians opted to give him his first game action since Tuesday. Burger's long ball was Clase's first earned run allowed since April 14, which spans 24 appearances.

  • Miguel Diaz RP | SF

    Tigers' Miguel Diaz: Joins Detroit on MiLB deal

    Diaz agreed to a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    The right-hander was cut loose by Houston in late May but was able to land a minor-league pact with Detroit. Diaz struggled to a 9.64 ERA in 13 outings at Triple-A Sugar Land with the Astros and will need better results with the Tigers to have a chance of seeing the big leagues.

  • Yankees' Ron Marinaccio: Back with big-league club

    The Yankees recalled Marinaccio from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

    The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A in early May despite posting a 1.42 ERA over 12.2 innings for the Yankees, and it was only a matter of time before he returned to the majors. Marinaccio also pitched well for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a 1.17 ERA and 17:5 K:BB in 11 outings.

  • Matt Bowman RP | MIN

    Mariners' Matt Bowman: Called up to big club

    The Mariners selected Bowman's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

    Bowman signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Tuesday and threw two scoreless innings with Tacoma before getting the call to the big leagues. Seattle optioned Collin Snider to Triple-A Tacoma to open up room in the bullpen for Bowman.

  • Collin Snider RP | CHC

    Mariners' Collin Snider: Heads to Triple-A

    The Mariners optioned Snider to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

    Snider has appeared in two games for the Mariners since being called up June 1, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk while striking out three over two frames. Matt Bowman was recalled from Tacoma in a corresponding move to take Snider's spot in the bullpen.

  • Sammy Peralta RP | MIL

    White Sox's Sammy Peralta: Joining big club

    The White Sox selected the contract of Peralta from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

    Peralta was DFA'd by the White Sox on May 28 after being claimed off waivers two days earlier. After being outrighted to Triple-A on May 30, Peralta has responded with three scoreless outings, allowing no hits and one walk while striking out five over 3.2 innings in that span. He'll provide left-handed depth out of the bullpen for the White Sox with southpaw Shane Drohan (shoulder) designated for assignment and right-hander Nick Nastrini optioned to Triple-A Charlotte in corresponding moves.

  • Zack Kelly RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Zack Kelly: Set to open Sunday's bullpen game

    Kelly is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the White Sox in what's expected to be a bullpen day.

    Unless they bring aboard another pitcher from Triple-A Worcester to serve as a bulk reliever, the Red Sox look set to lean on a number of arms for the series finale in Chicago once Kelly exits the game. Kelly recorded one out in Saturday's 6-1 loss and hasn't exceeded three innings in any of his 20 appearances this season between the majors and Triple-A, so he shouldn't be expected to work more than once through the batting order in his first big-league start. Brennan Bernardino, Justin Slaten and Cam Booser are all available on at least two days' rest and should all be capable of giving the Red Sox two or more innings out of the bullpen, if needed.

  • Michael Kopech SP | LAD

    White Sox's Michael Kopech: Labors through scoreless frame

    Kopech allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two across a scoreless ninth inning Saturday against the Red Sox.

    Kopech was called upon to protect a five-run lead. He did so successfully, though he allowed three hitters to reach base -- he hit a batter in addition to the walk and hit he surrendered -- and required 33 pitches to retire the side. Though it was shaky, the outing was still positive for Kopech as he had allowed at least one run in three of his last four appearances entering Saturday.

  • Pedro Avila RP | CLE

    Guardians' Pedro Avila: Grabs three-inning save

    Avila struck out six and walked two over three scoreless and hitless innings to earn the save in Saturday's 8-0 win over the Marlins.

    Avila was scored on in nine of his first 12 outings, but he's settled down lately. He's currently on an 8.2-inning scoreless streak, during which he has a 12:2 K:BB. His save Saturday was the first of his major-league career, though it was his multi-inning abilities in a blowout win that allowed him to pick it up. He's now at a 4.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB through 31.1 innings between the Padres and the Guardians this year. He's trimmed his ratios to a 3.09 ERA and 1.07 WHIP since he was traded to Cleveland in mid-April. Avila is no threat to challenge for consistent high-leverage work.

  • Bowden Francis RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bowden Francis: Starting Sunday

    Francis will start Sunday's game against the Athletics, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Francis will make his first start since being activated from the 15-day IL on Tuesday. The 28-year-old surrendered four runs and tossed 57 pitches in long relief Tuesday and has yielded 12 runs over 8.1 innings during his only two starts this season. However, he'll have the luxury of facing an Athletics lineup that is scoring just 3.6 runs per game in 2024.
