Justin Wrobleski P | LAD
Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Victorious in bulk role
Wrobleski (4-2) picked up the win Sunday at Kansas City, allowing three hits and issuing one walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out six.
Wrobleski followed opener Lou Trivino and dominated the Royals over 83 total pitches to secure his third consecutive win as a bulk reliever. The Los Angeles southpaw scattered three singles as the Kansas City bats never threatened to plate a run against him in this contest. Since rejoining the big-league club June 6, Wrobleski has been a reliable pitching option, going 3-1 with a 2.73 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB across 26.1 frames. The 24-year-old tentatively lines up to make his next appearance, likely in bulk relief again given his recent success, against the Astros at home next weekend.

Robert Suarez RP | ATL
Padres' Robert Suarez: Melts down in blown save
Suarez (2-4) blew the save and took the loss in Sunday's 3-2 game at Cincinnati. He allowed two runs on four hits and one walk in one-third of an inning.
Things went awry off the bat for Suarez when Elly De La Cruz opened the ninth with an infield single. After Spencer Steer drove De La Cruz home on a single to knot the contest at 2-2, Will Benson eventually walked off the Padres by roping a single to right field with the bases loaded. This snaps a stretch of eight consecutive converted saves for Suarez that he achieved over 15 appearances. Across 34.2 total frames, Suarez has pitched to a 3.89 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 36:12 K:BB while going 23-for-26 on save chances.

Noah Davis SP | PIT
Dodgers' Noah Davis: Called up Sunday
The Dodgers recalled Davis from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
The right-hander was optioned to Oklahoma City in early June after a one-day stint in the majors, but he'll rejoin the big club for Sunday's series finale in Kansas City. Across his three stints in the big leagues this season, Davis has given up three earned runs with a 5:2 K:BB over 4.2 innings.

Lou Trivino RP | PHI
Dodgers' Lou Trivino: Serving as opener Sunday
Trivino will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Trivino is expected to cover the first inning or two before giving way to left-hander Justin Wrobleski, who will be available to pitch in bulk relief on four days' rest. The Dodgers previously called upon Trivino to serve as an opener against the Padres on June 10, when he tossed a scoreless inning.

Dennis Santana RP | PIT
Pirates' Dennis Santana: Begins serving three-game ban
Santana will begin serving a three-game suspension Sunday following a successful appeal that reduced his ban from four games, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Major League Baseball previously issued a four-game suspension and a fine to the right-hander June 20, one day after he was deemed to have engaged in "aggressive conduct toward a fan near the bullpen" during the Pirates' doubleheader with the Tigers. Santana remained available over the past nine days after appealing, but he'll now be out through Tuesday's game against the Cardinals. Santana has been one of the Pirates' top relievers this season, notching five saves, nine holds and two wins over 36 appearances while pitching to a 1.50 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB across 36 innings.

Richard Lovelady RP | NYM
Mets' Richard Lovelady: Re-signs with Mets
The Mets signed Lovelady to a one-year, major-league contract Sunday.
The left-hander elected free agency Friday after being designated for assignment by New York, but he quickly re-signed with the organization. Lovelady gave up two runs over 1.2 innings during his lone appearance with the Mets and also surrendered four runs across 1.2 frames during a stint with the Blue Jays at the start of the season. The Mets designated left-hander Colin Poche for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for Lovelady.

Colin Poche RP | DET
Mets' Colin Poche: Dropped from 40-man roster
The Mets designated Poche for assignment Sunday.
The left-hander had his contract selected from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, and he made his debut for the Mets on Saturday in Pittsburgh, giving up two runs on two hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. Richard Lovelady signed a one-year contract to take Poche's place on the MLB roster.

Ryan Pressly RP | CHC
Cubs' Ryan Pressly: Works ninth inning in rout
Pressly worked a scoreless ninth inning with a strikeout in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Astros.
Pressly closed things out Saturday, though it was far from a save situation. It was also his first game action in four days. The veteran righty managed to secure a save back on June 12, but since then, Daniel Palencia has rattled off the team's last three saves. Pressly is at least pitching better after a rough start to the season, as he now has a 1.23 ERA over his last 15 appearances. However, it appears that Palencia is the clear closer in Chicago at this point, with Pressly working in a setup role along with Porter Hodge and Drew Pomeranz.

Shelby Miller RP | CHC
Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller: Blows fifth save Saturday
Miller blew the save Saturday against the Marlins. He allowed one run on one hit while striking out two over one inning.
The right-hander allowed just one hit, a single to Dane Myers, who proceeded to steal second and third base to set up a Heriberto Hernandez sacrifice fly to tie the game. This was Miller's second blown save in June, with the other coming in a walk-off loss to the Blue Jays on June 17. Despite those setbacks, the veteran has been a steady presence for the Diamondbacks in 2025, posting a 2.18 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 33.0 innings.

Graham Ashcraft SP | CIN
Reds' Graham Ashcraft: Activity picking up
Ashcraft (groin) threw a bullpen session Friday and is scheduled for another one Sunday, MLB.com reports.
If all goes well this weekend, Ashcraft will throw a simulated game Wednesday in Boston. The right-hander transitioned this season from starter to reliever, a role for which the organization feels he's suited, with mixed results. The Reds believe Ashcraft has the right makeup to close games, and there was some chatter back in spring training about him getting ninth-inning chances, but Emilio Pagan is currently thriving in that role for Cincinnati.
