John King RP | MIA
Marlins' John King: Takes loss as opener
King (1-1) took the loss against the Mets on Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and no walks with two strikeouts over 1.2 innings.
King opened the game and took the loss, as he was charged with two of the 10 runs the Mets scored against the Marlins in a bullpen game. The southpaw owns a 2.52 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB with three holds and one save across 25 innings this season, and Sunday's appearance was likely a one-off while the Marlins sort through their depleted rotation.

Drew Anderson RP | DET
Tigers' Drew Anderson: Hit hard in third loss
Anderson (2-3) allowed two runs on four hits while retiring only two batters in relief to take the loss Sunday against the White Sox.
After Detroit starter Keider Montero tossed six scoreless innings, Anderson came on in the seventh and got into some trouble. He retired the first batter he faced but then served up a solo home run to Colson Montgomery. Chicago proceeded to rattle off three more hits in a row to plate another run before Anderson got the hook with the Tigers trailing 2-1. The righty has allowed four runs (three earned) over his last two appearances, which has pushed his ERA from 3.44 up to 4.03, and he was charged with the loss in both outings as well.

Austin Warren RP | NYM
Mets' Austin Warren: Opening Monday's game
Warren will serve as the Mets' opening pitcher for Monday's game versus the Mariners, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.
Warren will draw the first start of his major-league career, although he will likely be limited to just an inning or two before the Mets turn the game over to the bullpen. Southpaw Sean Manaea is likely to handle a bulk-relief role in the series opener in Seattle.

Clayton Beeter RP | WAS
Nationals' Clayton Beeter: Grabs fourth save
Beeter picked up the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Padres, working around a hit while striking out one in the ninth inning.
After throwing 22 pitches to earn the save Saturday, Beeter got the call again in the ninth inning a day later, and he got the job done to earn his fourth save this season. Beeter has been sharp of late, turning in six straight scoreless appearances and allowing just three hits in that span (6.1 innings) as he looks to have solidified his standing as Washington's primary closer. His ERA is down to 2.30 through 15.2 innings this season with a 1.21 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB.

Sam Moll RP | CIN
Reds' Sam Moll: Earns one-out save
Moll earned a one-out save in Sunday's 6-4 win over Atlanta, allowing no hits and one walk with no strikeouts in the ninth inning.
Moll was called on to relieve the struggling Tony Santillan with two men on and two outs in the ninth inning to face lefty Michael Harris. He walked Harris before inducing a game-ending groundout to earn his first save of the season. It was likely just a matchup-driven decision with Santillan reeling, but the 34-year-old Moll has put together a strong campaign, posting a 2.49 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB across 25.1 innings.

Ryan Helsley RP | BAL
Orioles' Ryan Helsley: Needs more buildup time
Helsley (elbow) said Sunday that he's scheduled to complete a few more bullpen sessions and will gradually ramp up the intensity of his throwing before he resumes facing hitters, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The Orioles plan to re-evaluate Helsley following their upcoming six-game road trip, after which the right-hander could be cleared to head out on a rehab assignment. Helsley appears to be trending toward a return from the injured list sometime in June, though a specific target date likely won't be established until he's pitching in simulated games or minor-league games. Once he eventually makes his way back from the IL, Helsley should step back in as the Orioles' preferred option to close games.

Shane Drohan SP | MIL
Brewers' Shane Drohan: Set to start Monday
Drohan will start Monday's game against the Giants, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Drohan will be making his second start of the season, after tossing 2.2 innings in his Milwaukee debut back on April 8. Since then, Drohan has excelled in a relief role for Milwaukee, accruing a 1.82 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB across 24.2 innings. The left-hander has thrown 39-plus pitches in seven of his 11 outings this season, so he should be able to provide some quality length Monday even if he isn't built up to handle a full starter's workload.

Andrew Nardi RP | MIA
Marlins' Andrew Nardi: Facing extended absence
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said that Nardi is expected to miss about three months after landing on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a stress reaction in his left ribcage, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Nardi could be back with the Marlins for the final stretch of the season, but any problems during his rehab program could result in him missing the rest of the campaign. The rib injury is another tough setback on the health front for Nardi, who missed the entire 2025 season due to back problems.

Spencer Miles RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Spencer Miles: Falls to Baltimore
Miles (2-1) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out two.
Five of the runs charged to Miles came in the third inning, capped by a Colton Cowser three-run homer with two outs. It was the second start of the season for Miles. The right-hander had found success as a bulk reliever prior to Sunday, allowing just one run in his previous 15.1 innings. Miles' ERA now sits at 3.47 with a 1.16 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB across 36.1 innings this season.

Dietrich Enns RP | BAL
Orioles' Dietrich Enns: Remains in organization
Enns cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
The left-hander was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Tuesday but will stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Enns posted a 3.94 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB across 16 innings for Baltimore before being dumped from the 40-man roster.
