Jackson picked up his 11th save of the season Sunday against the Nationals, allowing one run on two hits and one walk in one inning.

Jackson entered Sunday's game in the 10th inning with a two-run lead and immediately ran into trouble, allowing a leadoff walk and a single to the first two batters he faced. Trea Turner followed with a run-scoring fielder's choice and moved to second on an Adam Eaton single, but Jackson settled in and retired the next two batters to secure the 4-3 win. Jackson is now 11-for-17 on save chances this season and owns a 3.08 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 52:12 K:BB through 38 innings.

Reyes was removed from his start with Triple-A Memphis on Sunday due to an apparent injury, Brian Walton of TheCardinalNation.com reports.

Reyes suffered the injury during the second inning Sunday, and he appeared to be favoring one leg as he left with a trainer. Specifics regarding the injury remain unclear at the moment, but this could be yet another unfortunate blow for the talented right-hander, who has dealt with a number of injuries in recent years.

Anderson allowed a run but posted his first save of the season with a strikeout during the ninth inning of a 6-4 victory against the Phillies on Sunday.

Marlins closer Sergio Romo didn't pitch Saturday, but he did throw four days in a row prior to that, so with a three-run lead, the Marlins elected to use Anderson in the ninth. He yielded a run but avoided any further damage for his first save. He is 2-3 with a 4.88 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 52 strikeouts in 31.1 innings this season.

Strop pitched a perfect ninth inning with two strikeouts to record the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

After allowing two runs and taking the loss in his last appearance, Strop enjoyed a bounce-back effort. The righty now has a 5.17 ERA and nine saves this season, though his end-game opportunities could dwindle as soon as Craig Kimbrel is deemed ready to join the MLB roster.

De Los Santos (0-1) allowed four runs on seven hits with three walks and two strikeouts across four innings while taking a loss against the Marlins on Sunday.

Receiving his first opportunity to start, De Los Santos didn't really improve his chances of staying with the big club. He came into the afternoon with an ERA above 6.00 from four relief appearances this season, and that number only increased. De Los Santos is now 0-1 with a 7.36 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and nine strikeouts in 11 innings. With this being a spot start, he will likely return to Triple-A Lehigh Valley at the beginning of this week.

Yamamoto (3-0) allowed two runs on two hits with four walks and seven strikeouts across five innings to earn the victory against the Phillies on Sunday.

The 23-year-old is off to an incredible start in his major-league career. This was the first time he allowed any runs through three starts. He's also yielded three hits or fewer in all three outings. Yamamoto is 3-0 with a 0.95 ERA, 0.79 WHIP, .115 batting average against and 19 strikeouts in 19 innings this season. He will look to keep this incredible start to his career going, as he faces the Phillies again at home Saturday.

Kimbrel is scheduled to make another rehab appearance with Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

Kimbrel pitched Friday and Saturday with Iowa, so he'll receive a couple days of rest before his next outing. The Cubs have not announced an official timeline for his return to the majors, but the veteran right-hander could seemingly rejoin the team by the end of the week if his progression continues as planned Tuesday.

Hoffman was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Hoffman was unable to complete three innings Thursday and has a 6.75 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in seven major-league starts this season, so he'll make his way back to the minors. It's not clear who will slot into the starting rotation Tuesday for the Rockies.

De Los Santos was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Sunday's game versus the Marlins.

De Los Santos will make the spot start with the Phillies in need of an additional starter due to Wednesday's doubleheader. The 23-year-old has allowed five runs over seven frames in the majors this season but has a 3.28 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 44:13 K:BB across 35.2 innings at Lehigh Valley.

Voth was recalled from Double-A Harrisburg to start Sunday's game versus the Braves.

Voth will step in to fill the gap left in the starting rotation after two postponements and a doubleheader created the need for an additional starter. The 26-year-old has a 4.40 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 68:15 K:BB at Triple-A Fresno this season and seems likely to head back to the minors after the outing.
