Michael Petersen P | MIA
Braves' Michael Petersen: Recalled by Atlanta
Atlanta recalled Petersen from Triple-A Gwinnet on Monday.
Petersen will take the spot on the 26-man roster vacated by Spencer Strider (hamstring), who was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Petersen has spent most of the season in Triple-A but did make a major-league appearance against the Rays on April 13, when he struck out one batter in two scoreless innings.

Brewers' Craig Yoho: Set to be promoted to majors
The Brewers are expected to promote Yoho from Triple-A Nashville, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Milwaukee will need to add Yoho to the 40-man roster in order to make the move. Yoho was an eighth-round pick in the 2023 Draft and has been lights out at Triple-A to begin the season. He's pitched in eight games, tossing 9.2 scoreless innings with one save. The Brewers need the bullpen help, as they are currently 26th in ERA.

Randy Wynne RP | CIN
Reds' Randy Wynne: Sent back to Triple-A
The Reds optioned Wynne to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.
Wynne had his contract selected ahead of Sunday's game against the Orioles, and he earned a three-inning save in the Reds' 24-2 rout of Baltimore. Across his three innings of work, Wynne allowed three hits, including a solo home run, and struck out three batters with one walk. He'll head back to Triple-A, where Wynne has operated as a starter.

Robert Suarez RP | ATL
Padres' Robert Suarez: Secures ninth save Sunday
Suarez earned the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Astros, not allowing a baserunner while punching out two in a scoreless ninth.
Suarez continued his dominant ways and closed the door on the Astros to jump back into a solo lead for saves in all of baseball. He's yet to give up a run and has allowed just five baserunners in 10 innings while posting a 12:2 K:BB.

Dennis Santana RP | PIT
Pirates' Dennis Santana: Tough-luck loss
Santana (0-1) allowed one unearned run without allowing a hit to take the loss Sunday against the Guardians.
Santana was called upon to pitch the 10th inning and retired every batter he faced, but he still was stuck with the loss after allowing the ghost runner to score on a sacrifice fly. He has turned in seven scoreless efforts in nine appearances this season and appears to be Pittsburgh's preferred option at closer, even with David Bednar back on the roster.

Seth Halvorsen P | COL
Rockies' Seth Halvorsen: Gets high-leverage work
Halvorsen allowed one hit and struck out two across 1.1 scoreless innings in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals.
The appearance was only Halvorsen's second since April 10, as the Rockies were in the midst of an eight-game losing streak. He was called upon to keep Colorado down one run with runners at first and second in the eighth inning Sunday, and he then remained in the game to conclude the contest. Tyler Kinley tallied the save in Game 2 of the doubleheader with Halvorsen unavailable, but Halvorsen still appears to be the team's primary closer.

Ryan Walker RP | SF
Giants' Ryan Walker: Surrenders four runs in ninth
Walker (0-1) took the loss Sunday versus the Angels, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk while striking out a batter as his only out recorded.
Walker entered protecting a three-run lead and proceeded to blow his first save of the season. A walk and two singles loaded up the bases for the Angels with one out. Walker plunked Zach Neto to make it a 4-2 game, and Jo Adell followed with a double in the left field gap to clear the bases for the walk-off win. It was an uncharacteristically bad outing from Walker, whom had not given up a run since his season debut nor allowed more than one hit in any of his appearances before Sunday.

Luis Peralta RP | COL
Rockies' Luis Peralta: Optioned to Triple-A
Peralta was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.
Peralta will head to Triple-A after the Rockies split Sunday's doubleheader with the Nationals. The left-hander did not appear in either contest, and he'll drop down a level after posting a 7.56 ERA and 2.16 WHIP with five strikeouts over 8.1 innings in nine appearances out of Colorado's bullpen so far this year. Right-hander Jaden Hill, who was called up for Sunday's doubleheader, will remain on the 26-man roster in Peralta's place.

Brad Lord P | WAS
Nationals' Brad Lord: Fans five in loss
Lord (0-2) yielded two runs on five hits and two walks over four innings in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against Colorado. He struck out five and took the loss.
Lord turned in three scoreless frames before Mickey Moniak knocked a two-run triple in the fourth inning. It was Lord's second straight start of at least four innings, but he's yet to complete at least five in an outing. He threw 46 of 65 pitches for strikes Sunday and forced 13 whiffs, including eight with his fastball. Lord owns a 4.73 ERA with a 10:9 K:BB through 13.1 frames this season. He's currently projected for a home start against the Mets next weekend.
