  • Alan Rangel RP | PHI

    Phillies' Alan Rangel: Brought up from Triple-A

    The Phillies recalled Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

    Right-hander Michael Mercado was optioned to Triple-A to make room on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Rangel. The 27-year-old right-hander previously made his MLB debut in a three-inning relief appearance June 7 and will likely serve as a lower-leverage arm during his latest stint with the Phillies.

  • Blake Treinen RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Continues to progress toward return

    Treinen (forearm) has advanced to using his entire pitch mix during his throwing progression, per MLB.com.

    Treinen resumed playing catch in mid-May, and he then began throwing bullpens in early June. The right-handed reliever recently became eligible to be activated from the 60-day IL, but he probably won't return to the Dodgers' bullpen until at least early July. Trienen will likely be sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment before he's ready to face big-league batters again.

  • Angel Chivilli RP | NYY

    Rockies' Angel Chivilli: Rejoins big club

    The Rockies recalled Chivilli from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

    The 22-year-old has struggled to a 6.14 ERA across 29.1 innings during his time in the big leagues this season, but he'll rejoin the Rockies on Sunday with Carson Palmquist being optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Chivilli should fill a low-leverage relief role while he's up with the Rockies.

  • Cardinals' Andre Granillo: Sent back to Triple-A

    The Cardinals optioned Granillo to Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

    The Cardinals will swap Granillo out of the bullpen for a fresh arm in Gordon Graceffo, who was recalled from Memphis. After getting called up June 12, Granillo enjoyed a productive first stint in the majors, making five appearances and allowing one earned run on three hits and one walk over 6.2 innings while recording a win and a save.

  • Cardinals' Gordon Graceffo: Joins big-league bullpen

    The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

    Graceffo will provide some extra coverage in the bullpen after St. Louis burned through five relievers in Saturday's 11-inning win. After beginning the season as a starter at Triple-A, Graceffo transitioned to the bullpen upon returning to Memphis on May 31 following a three-week stint in the big leagues. Over nine relief outings with Memphis, Graceffo supplied a 3.46 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB in 13 innings.

  • Yosver Zulueta SP | SEA

    Reds' Yosver Zulueta: Rejoins big club

    The Reds recalled Zulueta from Triple-A Louisville prior to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    In a corresponding move, Cincinnati optioned Chase Petty to Triple-A to open up a spot for a fresh bullpen arm. Zulueta previously spent five days with the big club back in May. Since he was optioned to Louisville, he's pitched to a 5.06 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB in 16 innings over 13 appearances.

  • Jalen Beeks RP | TEX

    Diamondbacks' Jalen Beeks: Holds lead Saturday

    Beeks threw a 1-2-3 eighth inning to record a hold in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

    Beeks needed seven pitches (five strikes) to mow down the top of Colorado's order and pick up his 10th hold before handing the ball off to closer Shelby Miller. Beeks has been money well spent by the Diamondbacks, who have navigated injuries and subpar performances in what was expected to be the late-game relief crew. He, Ryan Thompson and Miller have stepped in for Justin Martinez (elbow), A.J. Puk (elbow) and Kevin Ginkel (5.22 ERA). Beeks has a 2.97 ERA with 10 holds, one save and a 33:11 K:BB rate over 36.1 innings.

  • Emilio Pagan RP | CIN

    Reds' Emilio Pagan: Third blown save

    Pagan blew the save Saturday against the Cardinals. He allowed one run on one hit with no walks while striking out four over 1.1 innings.

    The right-hander entered for a four-out save after Tony Santillan gave up two runs in the eighth, but he blew the lead by allowing a solo homer to Nolan Arenado to open the ninth, his first blown save since May 6. Pagan has otherwise had a solid year as the Reds' closer, posting a 3.38 ERA and 0.88 WHIP over 32 innings and 32 appearances. That marks a notable improvement from his 2024 campaign, when he recorded a 4.50 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 38 innings in 38 games.

  • Shelby Miller RP | CHC

    Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller: Picks up eighth save

    Miller struck out three and allowed one hit over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

    Miller has posted back-to-back scoreless outings after a two-homer meltdown Tuesday in Toronto. The right-hander looks to be the last man standing in the closer competition for Arizona, as both Justin Martinez (elbow) and A.J. Puk (elbow) are out for the year. Saturday's game featured what could be an ideal bullpen progression for the Diamondbacks, with Ryan Thompson in the seventh inning and Jalen Beeks in the eighth before Miller closed it out. Miller has eight saves, eight holds and four blown saves while posting a 2.03 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB over 31 innings this season.

  • Joe Ross RP | ARI

    Phillies' Joe Ross: Continues to struggle in June

    Ross gave up three runs on four hits and no walks in 2.2 innings of relief during Saturday's 11-4 defeat to the Mets. He struck out one.

    Rooke right-hander Mick Abel was able to give the Phillies only three innings, so Ross was brought on to provide some length. Saturday was Ross' second-longest outing of the season, but he's limped to an 8.00 ERA and 6:6 K:BB across nine innings in the month of June. The 32-year-old right-hander has made just one start this year and has no holds or saves, so his pathway to fantasy relevance remains cloudy as a multi-inning middle reliever.
