Beeter picked up the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Padres, working around a hit while striking out one in the ninth inning.

After throwing 22 pitches to earn the save Saturday, Beeter got the call again in the ninth inning a day later, and he got the job done to earn his fourth save this season. Beeter has been sharp of late, turning in six straight scoreless appearances and allowing just three hits in that span (6.1 innings) as he looks to have solidified his standing as Washington's primary closer. His ERA is down to 2.30 through 15.2 innings this season with a 1.21 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB.

Moll earned a one-out save in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta, allowing no hits and one walk with no strikeouts in the ninth inning.

Moll was called on to relieve the struggling Tony Santillan with two men on and two outs in the ninth inning to face lefty Michael Harris. He walked Harris before inducing a game-ending groundout to earn his first save of the season. It was likely just a matchup-driven decision with Santillan reeling, but the 34-year-old Moll has put together a strong campaign, posting a 2.49 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across 25.1 innings.

Drohan will start Monday's game against the Giants, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Drohan will be making his second start of the season, after tossing 2.2 innings in his Milwaukee debut back on April 8. Since then, Drohan has excelled in a relief role for Milwaukee, accruing a 1.82 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB across 24.2 innings. The left-hander has thrown 39-plus pitches in seven of his 11 outings this season, so he should be able to provide some quality length Monday even if he isn't built up to handle a full starter's workload.

Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Nardi is expected to miss about three months after landing on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a stress reaction in his left ribcage, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Nardi could be back with the Marlins for the final stretch of the season, but any problems during his rehab program could result in him missing the rest of the campaign. The rib injury is another tough setback on the health front for Nardi, who missed the entire 2025 season due to back problems.

The Cardinals designated Pushard for assignment Sunday.

Since Pushard was selected in the Rule 5 Draft over the winter, the Cardinals will have to offer him back to the Marlins if he ends up clearing waivers. The 28-year-old right-hander posted a 5.14 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB in seven innings over six appearances out of the St. Louis bullpen and hadn't been used since being reinstated from the 15-day injured list May 16.

The Dodgers optioned Gervase to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander has been up with the Dodgers for the past couple weeks but made just one relief appearance. Across his two stints in the majors this season, Gervase has given up one earned run on five hits with a 5:2 K:BB over five innings.

The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for Ryan Borucki, whom the Giants designated for assignment. Beck made two scoreless relief appearances in the majors earlier this month but has spent most of the season at Sacramento, where he's turned in a 3.91 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across 23 innings. He'll handle a low-leverage role while he's up with San Francisco.

The Brewers transferred Zerpa (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

This transaction has been inevitable since it was announced in early May that Zerpa required UCL reconstruction on his left elbow. The 26-year-old is expected to be sidelined until around the All-Star break in 2027.

The Pirates recalled Sanders from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

The right-hander will rejoin the Pirates for Sunday's series finale versus the Twins as Carmen Mlodzinski (personal) heads to the restricted list in a corresponding move. Sanders has made five appearances for Pittsburgh this season and has given up six earned runs with a 7:5 K:BB across five innings.

King is slated to serve as the Marlins' opener for Sunday's game against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Janson Junk had been set to start Sunday but was a late scratch before being placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right shin injury. King will make his first MLB start in what will be a bullpen day for Miami. The southpaw hasn't recorded more than four outs or thrown more than 20 pitches in any appearance this season, so he shouldn't be expected to work more than an inning or two.
