Neris struck out two in a perfect inning and earned a save in Monday's 6-4 win over the Cubs.

Neris needed just 10 pitches to quickly close out the 6-4 win. It was his first save since April 1 and he extended his scoreless streak to 11 innings. Neris is now sporting a 1.47 ERA with a 22:7 K:BB through 18 appearances. Ryan Pressly did not pitch Monday after picking up a save Sunday.

Fulmer (0-3) allowed two runs on two hits while retiring two batters to take the loss Monday against the Astros. He walked one and struck out one.

Fulmer came on in the seventh inning and struggled, serving up a two-run home to Alex Bregman before getting the hook. The veteran has allowed five earned runs across 1.1 innings in his last two appearances, and he's stuck with an ugly 7.50 ERA overall. Fulmer was better last year with a 3.39 ERA while splitting time between Detroit and Minnesota, so he could still rebound in 2023. However, he's worked his way out of closer mix for the time being and has little value in most fantasy formats.

Bernardino was optioned to Triple-A Worcester following Monday's game against the Mariners, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Bernardino has appeared three times in the last four days out of the bullpen, surrendering three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three over three frames. The club has yet to announce who will be recalled to replace Bernardino.

Schreiber left Monday's game against the Mariners with right lat tightness, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

Schreiber is likely headed for further testing after being removed from Monday's contest. Manager Alex Cora stated after the contest that the right-hander is likely headed to the 15-day injured list, though no official move has been made just yet.

Schreiber exited Monday's game against the Mariners due to an undisclosed injury, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

The nature of Schreiber's injury has yet to be revealed, but he appeared to clenching his right fist, per Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information comes to light.

May (personal) will join Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday, Jason Burke of Locked On A's reports.

May pressed the pause button on his rehab stint May 4, but he's now ready to get back on the bump. He was initially placed on the injured list with anxiety-related issues April 19 and remains without a firm timetable for a return.

The Padres transferred Pomeranz (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

The move clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for Drew Carlton, who had his contract selected from Triple-A El Paso prior to Monday's clash against Kansas City. Pomeranz is currently rehabbing from a left elbow flexor tendon surgery and remains without a firm timetable for a return after being pulled off his rehab assignment in late April due to left arm discomfort.

The Padres selected Carlton's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Monday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Carlton earned a shot with the big club posting a 1.12 ERA and 18:5 K:BB over 16 innings with El Paso. The right-hander saw some brief action in the majors with the Tigers from 2021-22, holding a 2.92 ERA across nine appearances.

San Diego optioned Weathers to Triple-A El Paso on Monday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Weathers allowed four runs over 5.2 innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Sunday, and he'll head back to El Paso to continue work as a starter and stay on rotation. The Padres haven't announced a corresponding transaction yet, but it appears Drew Carlton could be joining the San Diego bullpen before Monday's game against the Royals.

The Cubs selected Burdi's contract from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Burdi hasn't pitched in the majors since having a second Tommy John surgery in 2020. He's earned a trip back to the big leagues after posting a 3.38 ERA and 19:5 K:BB over 10.2 innings with Iowa.
