Yarbrough did not factor into the decision in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader, allowing two hits and no walks over 2.2 scoreless innings in a 2-1 win over the Dodgers. He struck out one.

The southpaw started Sunday night's bullpen game and did his job well, holding the Dodgers scoreless before giving way to Paul Blackburn with two outs in the third inning. Yarbrough entered Sunday with a 5.27 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across his previous 10 appearances spanning 13.2 innings. On the year, the 34-year-old owns a 2-0 record with a 3.86 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 28:16 K:BB and two saves across 39.2 innings while operating primarily as a middle reliever.

Abner is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Abner will head back to Reno after being called up to the major-league roster July 9, combining to toss three scoreless innings, allowing one hit and issuing two walks while striking out one batter over two appearances following his promotion. Right-hander Juan Burgos is expected to replace the left-handed Abner in the major-league bullpen ahead of the team's three-game set at home against the Athletics beginning Monday.

Burgos is expected to be called up from Triple-A Reno on Monday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.

Burgos will join the Diamondbacks' major-league roster ahead of the team's three-game series at home versus the Athletics beginning Monday. The right-handed pitcher has appeared in one contest with Arizona so far this season, giving up one run on two hits over 1.1 innings against the Rays on June 26. In order to make room for Burgos with the big-league club, southpaw Philip Abner is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Zimmermann agreed to a contract Sunday with the Hanwha Eagles of the Korea Baseball Organization, Dan Kurtz of MyKBO.net reports.

Zimmermann will head overseas after electing free agency Wednesday when the Cardinals outrighted him off their 40-man roster. The southpaw made one appearance for the Cardinals after spending most of the 2026 season at the Triple-A level, where he posted a 3.78 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 84 strikeouts over 78.2 innings in 15 starts.

Fairbanks (3-4) blew the save and took the loss Sunday against the Brewers after allowing three runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning.

Fairbanks entered in the ninth inning tasked with protecting a one-run lead but allowed a leadoff single before issuing a walk to Brice Turang. He briefly settled down with a strikeout, but William Contreras followed with a three-run walk-off homer to hand Fairbanks his fourth loss of the season. The right-hander has now blown three of his 16 save opportunities, and after posting a 6.83 ERA and 1.41 WHIP during the first half, Sunday's outing did little to inspire confidence for fantasy managers heading into the future.

Zeferjahn gave up one run on one hit and didn't record a strikeout or walk in one inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Tigers.

Zeferjahn gave up a solo shot to Riley Greene, but he was able to avoid further damage. He's allowed two solo shots over his last 3.1 innings of work, but he's also posted a 4:0 K:BB in that span. Zeferjahn remains firmly in the high-leverage mix for the Angels with three saves and eight holds this season. He has posted a 3.91 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 63:31 K:BB through 46 innings.

Hall (pectoral) struck out a batter and allowed one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning Sunday in a rehab start with High-A Wisconsin.

After making it through a 20-pitch live batting practice session Thursday without incident, Hall was cleared to kick off a rehab assignment. The southpaw has been on the shelf since June 5 due to a pectoral strain, so he may require another tune-up outing or two in the minors before settling back into the Milwaukee bullpen.

Beeter allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two over 1.1 innings to earn the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

Beeter cleaned up a mess inherited from Tom Cosgrove in the eighth inning. In the ninth, the Athletics were able to scrape together a run, but Beeter never let the game get dangerous as he closed out his eighth save and his first since July 6. The reliever had allowed just one run over nine innings between June 9 and July 10 before a meltdown versus the Yankees on July 11. For the season, he has a 3.77 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB through 28.2 innings while adding eight saves, five holds and five blown saves.

Rangel (0-3) took the loss Sunday against the Mets, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks in four innings. He struck out four.

The Mets jumped all over Rangel right away, driving in each of the five runs across the first and second innings. The 28-year-old right-hander at least settled in a bit thereafter to give the Phillies some extra length via two more scoreless frames, but he's still yet to work into the fifth inning in any of his three starts. Rangel will be tough to trust as a fantasy streamer when he brings a lackluster 5.40 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB over 23.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Yankees.

Munoz struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

This was Munoz's first save since July 2, in part due to the Mariners stumbling into the All-Star break. He's on a 12-inning scoreless streak, in which he has posted an 18:4 K:BB. Munoz is up to 17 saves in 22 chances this season while pitching to a 3.96 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 55:15 K:BB through 36.1 innings.
