Triple-A Sacramento placed Santos on its 7-day injured list May 26 due to a right adductor strain, MLB.com reports.

Santos maintains a spot on the Giants' 40-man roster but has spent most of the season at Sacramento, with whom he's turned in a 4.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 14 innings across 12 appearances. The righty reliever is projected to return to action for Sacramento in late June or early July.

Foley (shoulder) struck out two over a scoreless inning in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

Foley compiled a 2.89 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB in 9.1 innings across his first nine rehab appearances between Sacramento and Single-A San Jose before being shut down earlier this month when he experienced renewed soreness in his right shoulder. The right-hander didn't pitch for eight days before being cleared to resume his rehab assignment over the weekend, and he seems to have come out of Friday's appearance no worse for the wear. Foley appears poised to return from the 60-day injured list and join the Giants bullpen at some point over the next two weeks.

Pagan (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to throw another Monday, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

If Pagan comes out of Monday's session without incident, then he could face live hitters as soon as Friday. A separate report on MLB.com indicates the reliever will throw a simulated game/live BP on Tuesday. However the schedule shakes out, Pagan is ramping up activity and could be back with the Reds before the end of June.

The Royals optioned Morgan to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

Morgan made one scoreless appearance during this most recent stint in the Royals' bullpen. His spot on the roster is poised to be filled by Mitch Spence, who will be summoned from Omaha to start Monday's game versus the Nationals.

The Royals list Spence as their scheduled starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Nationals.

Kansas City will officially recall Spence from Triple-A Omaha prior to Monday's game, with the right-hander set to enter the rotation as a replacement for Seth Lugo (concussion). The 28-year-old Spence has had a rough 2026 campaign, getting torched for six runs over four innings in his lone appearance in the majors and posting a 6.54 ERA in 10 starts at Triple-A Omaha. Nevertheless, with Lugo, Cole Ragans (elbow) and Kris Bubic (elbow/shoulder) all facing uncertain timetables to return from the injured list, Spence has a chance to stick around with the big club beyond Monday.

Dominguez earned the save in Sunday's 6-4 win against the Dodgers, allowing one run on one hit and two walks while striking out two over one inning.

Dominguez was called upon to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning and ultimately got the job done despite some late drama. The right-hander worked around two walks and an RBI double before recording the final outs to secure his 12th save of the season. It was Dominguez's first save since May 25, after which he posted five scoreless appearances and allowed just two baserunners total since. He now owns a 3.81 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB across 26 innings this year.

Latz picked up the save Sunday against Boston. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out two over 1.1 innings.

Working with a two-run cushion, Latz entered with two outs in the eighth inning and made quick work of the Red Sox, retiring all four batters he faced to secure his 11th save of the season. Through five outings in June, the southpaw has yet to allow a run and has converted four saves across 7.1 innings. It has been a standout season for the 30-year-old, who has settled into the closer role and owns a 1.62 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 33.1 innings (26 appearances).

Seymour allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings of bulk relief in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Entering after 1.2 innings from Casey Legumina, Seymour totaled 72 pitches (41 strikes) and allowed both of his runs in the fifth inning, his final frame, including a solo homer by Donovan Walton. Sunday marked Seymour's second extended outing after he started and covered four innings Monday, having previously logged no more than two innings in any appearance this season. Overall, the southpaw owns a 4.93 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB across 38.1 innings (28 appearances), and if he remains in the rotation, his next outing is lined up for Saturday against the Nationals.

The Cubs acquired Zulueta from the Mariners on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

Seattle designated Zulueta for assignment Wednesday, but he'll regain a spot on the 40-man roster with his move to a new organization. The right-hander has posted an inflated 5.75 ERA over 20.1 innings in 22 appearances with Triple-A Tacoma so far this season, but he boasts impressive velocity and has struck out 21.4 percent of the batters he's faced. The Cubs are expected to assign him to Triple-A Iowa.

Kelly (4-2) earned the win Sunday against the Angels, allowing one hit and no walks in two scoreless innings of work. He struck out three.

While the 28-year-old right-hander last saw a save opportunity during his May 12 outing versus Toronto, he's remained a key cog in Tampa Bay's bullpen despite losing the closer job to Bryan Baker. Kelly boasts a 2.27 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB across 31.2 innings this year, also racking up 14 holds.
