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.

Gipson-Long worked in bulk relief during Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Rays, allowing four runs on six hits across 6.1 innings while not factoring into the decision. He struck out three.

After opener Brant Hurter failed to complete the first inning, Gipson-Long came in to retire the last batter of the frame and then worked the next six full innings. It's a season high in innings for the righty, who has now made four appearances since getting activated off the injured list earlier this month. Gipson-Long did allow his first three home runs of the year Saturday, though it was otherwise an encouraging outing for the 27-year-old as he continues to round into form following his long layoff after Tommy John and hip surgeries. He'll carry a 4.58 ERA into his next appearance, which is currently scheduled for Friday at home against the Twins.

The Mets optioned Garza to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Garza will be shipped back upstate after giving up four earned runs in two innings during his outing Friday. He'll be joined on the trip to Syracuse by Blade Tidwell, while Chris Devenski and Tyler Zuber are coming up to fill the open spots on New York's roster.

Hurter (2-3) allowed four runs (no earned) on two hits and two walks while retiring only two batters to take the loss Saturday against the Rays. He also hit a batter.

Hurter served as the opener but struggled with control and couldn't complete the first inning. He was ultimately pulled after tossing 31 pitches (16 for strikes) and hitting his fifth batter of the year while also matching a season high in walks. The lefty has now allowed 11 runs across 10 innings pitched this month, though only four of them have been earned, and he still has a solid 2.29 ERA overall. Hurter should continue to work as a valuable reliever for the Tigers who also opens games on occasion.

Cousins announced on his personal Instagram account that he underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday.

Cousins had been dealing with injuries to his throwing arm since spring and wasn't able to pitch in any games this season. If all goes well in his recovery from surgery, he could be ready to return to game action sometime during the summer of 2026.

The Pirates recalled Stratton from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

After being sent down to Indianapolis in early May, Stratton turned in a 2.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 13 innings. He'll now be called upon to serve as a bullpen replacement for Ryan Borucki (back), who was placed on the injured list Saturday.

The Pirates placed Borucki on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a lower-back injury, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Borucki's back forced him to make an early exit from Friday's contest, and it will now also keep him sidelined for at least the next 15 days. Hunter Stratton was brought up in a corresponding move to replenish the Pirates' bullpen depth.

Hill hasn't given up an earned run in any of his past 12 outings spanning 11 innings.

During the streak, Hill has posted a modest 5:3 K:BB but has given up only seven hits and one unearned run. The lefty reliever also has two holds during that span, though he isn't a major source of holds with just five through 34 outings on the campaign. Hill has also posted a 2.51 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB across 32.1 innings overall this season.

Atlanta recalled Cox from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

With Chris Sale (ribs) headed to the injured list, Atlanta will bring up Cox to provide the club with some extra bullpen depth. The 28-year-old southpaw hasn't appeared in an MLB game yet this year, but he owns a 4.05 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 26.2 innings split between Atlanta's and Kansas City's Triple-A affiliates.

Miller tossed two-thirds of an inning in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Red Sox, allowing no runs while striking out one.

After Sean Hjelle gave up a home run and a single in the sixth inning, Miller entered with one out and retired the next two batters to end the frame. The left-hander threw five of his 10 pitches for strikes. Miller has yet to allow a run in June and now owns a 1.07 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 18:18 K:BB with nine holds across 25.1 innings in 31 games this season.
