Raisel Iglesias RP | ATL
Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Turns in ninth save Tuesday
Iglesias secured the save in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Mets, allowing one hit and recording the final two outs. He struck out one.
Enyel De Los Santos was unable to slam the door on the Mets, which prompted manager Brian Snitker to turn to Iglesias for his ninth save of the season. It was Iglesias' first save opportunity since he gave up three runs during his June 5 outing, and Tuesday was his first converted save since May 16. Pierce Johnson worked the sixth inning Tuesday, while Dylan Lee may not have been available after throwing 1.1 innings for a save Monday, but it was still an encouraging outing by Iglesias as he tries to reclaim the closer role -- he's posted six straight scoreless appearances with a 5:0 K:BB.

Michael Darrell-Hicks RP | PIT
Pirates' Michael Darrell-Hicks: Officially promoted
The Pirates recalled Darrell-Hicks from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday.
Darrell-Hicks has pitched two scoreless innings at Indianapolis since being claimed off waivers from the Angels, and he'll now be called upon to replace Hunter Stratton in Pittsburgh's bullpen.

Porter Hodge SP | CHC
Cubs' Porter Hodge: Activated from injured list
The Cubs activated Hodge (hip) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.
Hodge initially went on the IL in late May with an oblique strain, but more recently it was a left hip impingement giving him trouble. However, Hodge has been cleared to return after making four rehab appearances with Triple-A Iowa. He allowed eight runs (seven earned) with a 3:4 K:BB over three innings in those rehab outings, so the Cubs could ease Hodge back into high-leverage situations.

Roddery Munoz RP | HOU
Cardinals' Roddery Munoz: Heading back to minors
The Cardinals optioned Munoz to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.
Munoz's latest stint in the big leagues lasted only one day, and he tossed a scoreless frame in Monday's win over the Cubs. He's moving off the roster to make space for Michael McGreevy, who was recalled from Memphis to start Tuesday's contest against the Cubs.

Jack Dreyer P | LAD
Dodgers' Jack Dreyer: Will open in Colorado on Tuesday
Dreyer will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher Tuesday in Colorado, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Justin Wrobleski is a good bet to absorb most of the innings as a bulk reliever, although manager Dave Roberts isn't divulging those plans. Dreyer holds a 3.18 ERA and 39:15 K:BB over 39.2 innings covering four opener assignments and 26 relief outings this season.

Michael Darrell-Hicks RP | PIT
Pirates' Michael Darrell-Hicks: Poised for promotion
The Pirates will recall Darrell-Hicks from Triple-A Indianapolis prior to Tuesday's game in Milwaukee, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
He'll take the roster spot of Hunter Stratton. Darrell-Hicks was a waiver claim earlier this month and has allowed eight runs with a 6:4 K:BB over 7.2 frames at the big-league level in 2025.

Yosver Zulueta SP | SEA
Reds' Yosver Zulueta: Moved to Triple-A
The Reds optioned Zulueta to Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
The transaction frees a roster spot for right-hander Chase Burns, who has been called up to start Tuesday's game against the Yankees. Zulueta had just been recalled Sunday and did not make an appearance out of the bullpen during his most recent stint in the majors.

Isaac Mattson RP | PIT
Pirates' Isaac Mattson: Solid in high-leverage spot
Mattson allowed one hit and struck out three across 1.2 scoreless innings to earn a hold Monday against the Brewers.
The Pirates deployed a bullpen approach Monday, and Mattson was tasked with holding the lead in the seventh and eighth innings. He faced the top five hitters in the Brewers' order and allowed only a single to William Contreras. Mattson could be a candidate to see more consistent high-leverage spots moving forward, as he delivered a 9:2 K:BB across 10.1 innings while allowing only two earned runs with a 0.58 WHIP since being recalled June 7.
