Giants' Matt Gage: Picks up win Monday
Gage (3-1) earned the win in Monday's 9-3 victory over the Dodgers, striking out one over 1.2 scoreless relief innings.
Gage entered the game in the sixth inning with a runner on first base and one out before inducing a pair of groundouts. He also retired all three batters he faced in the seventh, finishing his outing having thrown 13 of his 21 pitches for strikes. The 33-year-old southpaw hasn't allowed an earned run in any of his last 11 appearances and now owns a 1.02 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 11:10 K:BB across 17.2 innings in 20 outings this season.

Christian McGowan RP | PHI
Phillies' Christian McGowan: Back at full strength
McGowan (elbow) was activated from the 7-day injured list May 3.
McGowan has been cleared to return to game action after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March of 2025. He made several rehab appearances in April and has pitched in three games at Double-A Reading since being activated from the injured list, surrendering three runs (two earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out one over four innings.

Paul Sewald RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Paul Sewald: Secures ninth save
Sewald picked up the save Monday against Texas. He allowed no hits or walks and hit a batter while striking out one over a scoreless inning.
Sewald entered with a one-run cushion in the ninth inning and plunked Corey Seager with two outs but was able to get Josh Jung to fly out and close the contest with no damage. The 35-year-old hurler has been stellar over his past five outings, allowing no hits and just one walk while striking out six batters during that stretch. Overall, Sewald owns a 3.07 ERA and 0.68 WHIP with an 18:4 K:BB and nine saves across 14.2 innings in 2026.

Jason Foley RP | SF
Giants' Jason Foley: Moving rehab to Triple-A
Foley (shoulder) will make his next rehab appearance for Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Foley kicked off his rehab appearance at Single-A San Jose on Sunday, surrendering four runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning. Despite his struggles, the club has elected to move his rehab to Triple-A. Foley is likely to notch at least a few more appearances before being activated later in the month.

Tristan Beck RP | SF
Giants' Tristan Beck: Recalled from Triple-A
The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Beck has spent all of this season with Sacramento, collecting a 5.40 ERA and 18:7 K:BB over 16.2 innings of work. The 29-year-old is capable of pitching multiple innings at a time and will likely fill a middle relief role.

Xzavion Curry RP | MIA
Mets' Xzavion Curry: Joins Mets organization
Curry signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Saturday.
Curry was assigned to Triple-A Syracuse and made his organizational debut Sunday, starting in an 8-5 loss to Rochester while striking out four batters and allowing two runs on five hits and no walks over five innings. The 27-year-old righty appeared in three games out of the Miami bullpen in 2025, but he's unlikely to be in the mix for a call-up to New York anytime soon unless the Mets' pitching staff gets decimated by injuries.

Ryan Harbin RP | PIT
Pirates' Ryan Harbin: Rejoins Bucs on MiLB deal
Harbin (lat) re-signed with the Pirates on a minor-league deal Saturday.
Pittsburgh added Harbin to its 40-man roster over the winter, but he has yet to pitch this season after suffering a right lat strain early in spring training. The Pirates designated Harbin for assignment in late April and then released him once he cleared waivers, but the right-handed reliever found his way back to the organization and will pitch out of the Triple-A Indianapolis bullpen once he's back to full health.

Jason Foley RP | SF
Giants' Jason Foley: Shaky in first rehab appearance
Foley (shoulder) was charged with four runs (one earned) over two-thirds of an inning in his first rehab appearance with Single-A San Jose on Sunday.
It's the first game appearance for Foley since he underwent right shoulder surgery last May. He is eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list in late May, but the Giants could ask Foley to spend additional time on his rehab assignment, depending on how he's faring. Foley served as the Tigers' primary closer during the 2024 regular season, and the Giants have an unsettled ninth-inning situation. That makes him worth tracking, but the 30-year-old will first have to prove he's worthy of high-leverage spots again.

Erik Miller RP | SF
Giants' Erik Miller: Begins rehab assignment
Miller (back) yielded one hit and struck out one over a scoreless frame in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
MIller was cleared to pitch in a rehab game less than a week after landing on the 15-day injured list with a lower-back strain, putting him on pace to return Saturday when first eligible. Before getting injured, Miller was receiving some save chances as part of an unsettled Giants bullpen.
