The Twins placed Coulombe on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to an extensor strain in his left forearm.

It's unclear when Coulombe sustained the injury since he hasn't pitched since Wednesday. The left-hander hasn't given up a run through 19 appearances this season and owns a stellar 19:2 K:BB over 16.2 innings out of the Minnesota bullpen, but he'll now be unavailable for at least the next couple weeks.

Detmers (1-2) earned the win over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out two batters over two innings.

Detmers entered in the sixth frame with runners on second and third and no outs after Hector Neris allowed all three batters he faced to reach base. Though he yielded an infield single and a walk, Detmers did a good job limiting the damage, allowing just one of the inherited runners to cross the plate while inducing a key double play groundout off the bat of Shohei Ohtani. Detmers continued into the seventh and gave up a run of his own, but he still received credit for the win on a day when he was the most effective Angels reliever aside from closer Kenley Jansen. Detmers recently went through an awful stretch during which he allowed 12 earned runs while retiring just one batter over a three-outing span, but the lefty has been better since then, yielding just one run while posting a 5:3 K:BB across four innings over his past three appearances.

Manager Dave Roberts announced after Saturday's loss to the Angels that Yates (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Sunday, and the skipper indicated he expects the right-hander to go on the injured list, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

The preliminary diagnosis is that Yates suffered a Grade 1 strain of his right hamstring, which will require a stint on the IL. Yates surrendered three earned runs over one-third of an inning during Saturday's contest, but prior to that he had a 2.95 ERA with a save and eight holds while working as a setup man this year. Assuming Yates is out for at least the next couple weeks, Alex Vesia should serve as the primary setup option to closer Tanner Scott.

Hanifee (2-1) allowed a run on two hits and a walk while retiring only two batters to take the loss in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to the Blue Jays.

Hanifee worked the bottom of the ninth inning in a 1-1 game and allowed a one-out double to Daulton Varsho. The righty came back to get the next batter, then intentionally walked Anthony Santander to bring Ernie Clement to the plate with two outs. Clement proceeded to deliver a walk-off single, saddling Hanifee with the loss. The reliever has been solid this season with a 2.35 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 19 appearances.

Hodge worked around a hit to pitch a scoreless inning Saturday in a 7-3 win over the White Sox. He struck out one.

Hodge got some work for the first time in three days with the Cubs up four runs, so he was unable to qualify for his third save of the season. However, the righty did manage his second straight scoreless appearance, which comes on the heels of allowing three runs while retiring only one batter back on May 11. Hodge should continue to see save opportunities, though Drew Pomeranz recorded the team's last save Monday and veteran Ryan Pressly may reenter the mix at some point if he solves his early-season struggles.

Pagan struck out one and didn't allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-1 win versus the Guardians.

The right-hander needed just 10 pitches to retire the heart of Cleveland's lineup and record his 11th save of the year. After a stretch in which Pagan gave up six earned runs in seven appearances, he's delivered two straight clean outings to begin the series against the Guardians. He's thrown just 26 pitches between the two appearances, but the fact Pagan has pitched in the past two games could affect his availability for Sunday's series finale.

Helsley picked up the save Saturday against the Royals. He didn't allow a baserunner or record a strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

Helsley retired the side in order on 12 pitches as he delivered his sixth straight scoreless outing to tally his ninth save of the campaign. The right-hander's 1.44 WHIP is still a bit high, but overall he's been effective early in 2025 with a 2.81 ERA and 16:10 K:BB over 16 innings.

Jansen allowed a hit over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Saturday's 11-9 win over the Dodgers. He did not strike out or walk a batter.

Jansen has covered 2.1 scoreless innings versus one of his old teams in this weekend's series. He got through this outing with 16 pitches (13 strikes) while earning his first save since May 3. It's been a bumpy month for the veteran closer, but he's taken care of business in save situations. On the year, he has a 5.40 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB over 13.1 innings, but he's been scored upon only in non-save situations while converting all eight of his save chances.

Halvorsen picked up a save against Arizona on Saturday, walking one batter in a scoreless and hitless inning of work.

Colorado trailed 11-6 midway through the contest but managed to storm back to take a two-run lead into the bottom of the ninth. Halvorsen got the call to close things out and managed to do so despite issuing a two-out walk and throwing just seven of 14 pitches for strikes. Save opportunities have been few and far between for the eight-win Rockies this season, but Halvorsen has managed a pair of saves to tie for the team lead. There doesn't appear to be a clear bullpen hierarchy with the team, as Zach Agnos -- who also has two saves -- pitched in the seventh inning Saturday while Tyler Kinley (who has one save) handled the eighth. For fantasy purposes, there is little reason to invest much in any Rockies reliever, but Halvorsen and Agnos are probably the best targets for managers desperate for saves.

Fairbanks threw a scoreless ninth inning without allowing a baserunner Saturday against the Marlins.

Fairbanks entered the game in the ninth inning with a four-run lead for his first appearance since Tuesday. It was a good bounce-back effort for him, as he allowed two earned runs in a similar situation his last time out. Fairbanks has now held opponents scoreless in 16 of his 19 outings this season, though he hasn't picked up a save since May 4.
