Legumina recorded the final two outs in Saturday's 10-7 loss to the Cubs, allowing no baserunners and fanning one.

June has been a productive month for Legumina, who now owns a 2.08 ERA and 11:3 K:BB over his last 8.2 innings. It's a much-needed rebound after he gave up a season-high six runs in his final outing of May, and Legumina should continue working primarily as a middle reliever while also seeing occasional high-leverage work when needed.

Thornton threw 2.1 scoreless innings of relief before exiting Saturday's eventual 10-7 loss to the Cubs due to heat exhaustion, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. He allowed one hit and two walks while fanning three.

Thornton had to be helped off the field in the eighth inning, but he's not expected to require additional medical treatment away from the team. After throwing a season-high 51 pitches Saturday, Thornton figures to get a few days off before he's available out of Seattle's bullpen again anyway since he covered multiple frames. The 31-year-old right-hander missed about a month of action due to appendicitis earlier this year, and he's mostly struggled with a 6.35 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB over 22.2 innings.

Doval earned the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Red Sox, allowing two runs on three hits in the ninth inning without recording a walk or a strikeout.

Doval entered the ninth with a three-run lead and gave up three straight hits before settling down to retire the next three batters and secure the win. While the 27-year-old has converted six of seven save chances in June, he's also allowed five earned runs across 10 appearances. On the season, he's 12-for-15 in save opportunities with a 2.06 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB over 35 innings.

Martin (back) tossed a perfect ninth inning in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Pirates, striking out two batters to earn the save.

Martin had been out of action earlier in the week due to back stiffness, but he returned Friday and logged a hold after tossing a scoreless eighth inning. He got the call over Robert Garcia in Saturday's game and was tasked to protect the Rangers' one-run lead. Martin needed only 12 pitches (nine strikes) to get through the frame and capped things off by striking out Ke'Bryan Hayes. Martin now sports a 1.48 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB across 24.1 innings this season, and he's converted both of his save chances.

Garcia (adductor) will begin his rehab assignment with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Garcia landed on the 15-day injured list in early June due to a right adductor strain, but he's made enough progress with his throwing program to resume pitching in games. The right-hander posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 23:15 K:BB across 26 innings with the Dodgers prior to landing on the shelf.

The Padres optioned Reynolds to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Bryan Hoeing (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Reynolds posted a 4.15 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB across 21.2 innings with the Padres, though he did not give up a run in nine of his last 10 outings. He should get another call to the majors this season if/when the Padres need some bullpen depth.

The Padres reinstated Hoeing (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Hoeing is available to make his 2025 debut against the Royals on Saturday after recovering from the right shoulder strain that he suffered in February. He did not yield a run over his last three rehab outings with Triple-A El Paso, and it was enough for him to be given the green light to return to the Padres' bullpen. Hoeing was acquired by the Padres from the Marlins in July of 2024, and across 18 regular-season games with San Diego, he posted a 1.52 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB across 23.2 innings.

Kranick (elbow) was diagnosed Saturday with a right flexor strain following an MRI and won't throw for the next 3-to-4 weeks, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Kranick was placed on the injured list Thursday, but the extent of his injury wasn't known until the results of his MRI are read. Given that he'll be shut down from throwing for the next three weeks, Kranick is safe to rule out through the All-Star break.

The Mets recalled Zuber from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Zuber has been in the minors all season, putting up a 6.08 ERA and 1.64 WHIP through 23.2 innings. Despite his poor minor-league performance, the Mets will rely on him to make up for the departures of Blade Tidwell and Justin Garza, both of whom were optioned to Syracuse on Saturday.

The Mets recalled Devenski from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Devenski has given up two earned runs in three big-league innings this season, but he'll be called upon to help make up for the departures of Blade Tidwell and Justin Garza to Syracuse. Devenski will likely be limited to low-leverage situations while with the big club.
