Sewald earned the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Reds, logging a strikeout and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

Sewald has converted eight straight save chances while allowing just one run on four hits in his last 11 innings. He's up to 17 saves overall this season, tied for third-most in the National League, while posting a 3.08 ERA with a 0.72 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB across 26.1 innings.

Gomez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cardinals.

Gomez has earned six saves on the year, three of which have come in June. He's allowed two runs over six innings this month with a 7:3 K:BB. Gomez has a 4.01 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB over 33.2 innings between the Twins and the Rays. Most of his high-leverage work (five saves and five holds) has come with Minnesota after he was traded in early May. The Twins' bullpen has been volatile this season, but Gomez should continue to get at least a share of ninth-inning duties as long as he avoids disasters, which he has done well with a 1.65 ERA over 16.1 innings for the Twins.

The Mets will recall Myers from Triple-A Syracuse to start Monday's game against the Reds, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has spent the past couple weeks with Syracuse, but he's now set to make just his third big-league start of the season. Myers has primarily worked as a reliever in the majors this season and has posted a 4.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 26:7 K:BB over 33.1 innings. Myers started in his most recent appearance with Syracuse on Thursday, but since he covered just 2.2 innings and 36 pitches in that outing, he'll likely handle a limited workload for the Mets on Monday.

Munoz was removed from Sunday's game against the Nationals due to lower-back tightness, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

The Mariners closer entered for the ninth inning of a 7-1 game since he hadn't pitched in nearly a week, and he allowed both batters he faced to reach before departing with the injury. The initial diagnosis is encouraging since it's not an arm issue, and Munoz should be considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday's series opener versus Baltimore

Munoz was removed from Sunday's game against the Nationals due to an apparent injury, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

Making his first appearance in nearly a week, Munoz allowed a hit and a walk on nine pitches before exiting the contest with training staff. It's the second notable injury of the day for Seattle, which also saw Josh Naylor (shin) depart after fouling a pitch off himself.

The Athletics recalled Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

Basso was up with the A's for a couple weeks earlier this season and will now get another look in the big leagues. The 28-year-old made three appearances during that prior MLB stint and gave up two earned runs on five hits with one strikeout and one walk over 2.2 innings.

Legumina will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Angels, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Legumina will make his first start of the season after posting a 2.04 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB over 17.2 innings since the Rays acquired him from the Mariners in late April. The right-hander will likely cover an inning or two Sunday before giving way to the bullpen, with Ian Seymour likely to work as the Rays' primary pitcher.

Seymour won't start Sunday's game against the Angels but is expected to work behind opener Casey Legumina, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Seymour made his second start of the season in his previous appearance Monday versus Boston, where he allowed just one run while setting season highs in pitches (55) and innings (four). The left-hander is expected to fill the bulk role Sunday, though the Rays haven't officially confirmed those plans and could go in a different direction. It's been an up-and-down campaign for Seymour, who has a 4.89 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB over 35 innings.

The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.

The right-hander was optioned to Sacramento on Wednesday but will make a quick return to the majors since Keaton Winn (elbow) was placed on the 15-day IL. Beck has struggled across six appearances in the majors this season, surrendering eight earned runs with a 3:2 K:BB over eight innings.

Hudson is slated to serve as the White Sox's opener in front of bulk reliever Erick Fedde in Sunday's game against the Dodgers, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Hudson will be deployed as an opener for the fourth time this season, with his most recent such assignment having come May 23 against the Giants. The left-hander is expected to work an inning or two before Fedde takes over.
