Wicks (0-1) allowed two unearned runs on three hits across two innings of work to take the loss Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He struck out two.

Wicks worked the 10th and 11th innings in an eventual 3-2 defeat, and he allowed an unearned run in each inning to ultimately take his first loss of the season. The lefty was just recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, and he's now allowed five runs (three earned) across two appearances. Wicks figures to work as a low-leverage arm for the Cubs until further notice.

Wynne picked up the save in Sunday's 24-2 win over Baltimore, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over three innings. He struck out three.

The 32-year-old right-hander was called up Sunday as Carson Spiers (shoulder) was placed on the injured list and secured a save in his season debut. Wynne had pitched to a 3.06 ERA across 17.2 innings at Triple-A before his call-up. He is not expected to be serve a significant role in the Cincinnati bullpen going forward.

Suter took a no-decision Sunday at Baltimore. He struck out one over three scoreless innings while yielding three hits and no walks.

The veteran southpaw was called upon to sub in for Carson Spiers (shoulder), who hit the injured list before this game. Suter was solid, generating six whiffs out of his 63 total pitches. With this effort, the 35-year-old now sports a 1.86 ERA and 0.83 WHIP across 9.2 innings. Suter probably will not make another start, as Nick Lodolo (personal) should return soon to fill the empty rotation spot.

Matz's turn through the rotation will be skipped for the upcoming series against Atlanta, which begins Monday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

The left-hander made his first start of the season last Wednesday and was expected to operate as St. Louis' No. 6 starter going forward, but the club will temporarily move him back to the bullpen due to Thursday's team off day. Matz is expected to re-enter the rotation next weekend versus Milwaukee, and he's likely to get at least a couple turns since the Cardinals have a stretch of 13 straight games from April 25 to May 7.

The Rockies designated Justice for assignment Sunday.

The left-hander has been at Triple-A Albuquerque for the first few weeks of the season, but he's lost his place on the 40-man roster after giving up six earned runs with a 6:9 K:BB in his first five outings. Justice could remain with the Isotopes if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Rockies selected Agnos' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

The right-hander was unable to secure a spot on Colorado's Opening Day roster but will get his first taste of the majors as Victor Vodnik (shoulder) heads to the injured list. Agnos posted a 1.38 ERA and 63:11 K:BB across 52.1 innings between the High-A and Double-A levels last year, and he's continued to pitch well at Triple-A early in 2025. He's recorded 46 saves during his minor-league career but will likely need to work his way into a high-leverage role for the Rockies.

The Rockies placed Vodnik on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to April 17, due to right shoulder inflammation.

The right-hander may have begun experiencing the inflammation following his last appearance Wednesday against the Dodgers, during which he struck out three and walked two in a scoreless inning. Vodnik and Seth Halvorsen have a save apiece for the Rockies this year, and the latter could see more chances while Vodnik is sidelined. Zach Agnos was added to the big-league roster in a corresponding move but is likely to fill a low-leverage role in his first stint in the majors.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that an MRI on Treinen's forearm showed a low-grade sprain, and the right-hander will begin a conservative rehab program, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The 36-year-old landed on the injured list Saturday with a concerning diagnosis of forearm tightness, but the MRI indicates he's not dealing with a serious injury. Treinen will be eligible to return from the injured list in early May, though he could be sidelined a bit longer depending on the specifics of his rehab program. Tanner Scott should continue to operate as the Dodgers' main closer, with Kirby Yates and Evan Phillips potentially seeing some save chances while primarily working as setup men.

The Rockies recalled Hill from Triple-A Albuquerque to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

The right-hander was unable to earn a spot on Colorado's Opening Day roster. but he'll join the big club for the twin bill and provide some bullpen depth. Hill has struck out 15 batters over 7.2 innings for Albuquerque this year, but he allowed four runs without recording an out in his last outing to inflate his ERA to 5.87.

Thielbar (1-0) tossed two scoreless innings of relief with a strikeout to earn the win in Saturday's 6-2 victory over the Diamondbacks.

Thielbar worked the fifth and sixth innings after starter Ben Brown covered the first four frames. That set the lefty reliever up for his first win in a Chicago uniform. Thielbar allowed two runs in his third appearance of the year, but since then, the veteran reliever has only allowed two total runs across 6.1 innings in seven appearances. His fantasy upside is limited, however, as a middle-relief option for the Cubs.
