Antone allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over 1.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's 6-5 loss to St. Louis.

Antone escaped a bases-loaded jam with none out, inducing a double-play grounder and a groundout to shortstop. After a rocky return to the majors early in May, Antone has authored six consecutive scoreless appearances, giving up five hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings.

Montgomery is starting Sunday's matchup versus Atlanta, likely as an opener ahead of Bubba Chandler, Jason Mackey of MLB.com reports.

This will be the fourth time this season that Montgomery has been deployed as an opener. He's been effective in that role, tossing a scoreless inning in each of his first three starts. From a fantasy perspective, however, it means that Montgomery won't be eligible to notch a win, hold or save.

Moll (1-4) allowed two runs on two hits while striking out one and was tagged with a loss and blown save Saturday as the Reds fell 6-5 to the Cardinals.

Moll is the latest Cincy reliever to melt down, giving up a two-run home run to Lars Nootbaar in the eighth inning for the game-winning hit. Manager Terry Francona has cycled through multiple relievers in search of someone that can replace injured closer Emilio Pagan (hamstring). Despite Saturday's unfortunate outing, Moll has pitched well overall and sports a 2.96 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 30 appearances (27.1 innings), but the southpaw has just one save on the year against three blown saves.

Madden tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Mariners. He allowed four hits and struck out three.

The right-hander was able to effectively scatter the four hits and give the Tigers some length after starter Keider Montero allowed four runs in his five innings. Madden began the season in a bulk-relief role and covered 11 total innings in his first two appearances of the year. He's since shifted to more of a traditional long-relief role, which he filled Saturday. No matter how Madden has been deployed, he's been effective with a 2.60 ERA and 9.9 K/9 across 17.1 innings so far, though his fantasy value is capped by his usage.

Rolison (5-1) pitched a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning victory over the Giants. He walked a batter and struck out two.

Rolison pitched a clean top of the 10th inning, then secured the win when the Cubs plated a run in the bottom half to complete their comeback. After struggling to a 7.02 ERA and 1.77 WHIP across 42.1 innings last season during his MLB debut with the Rockies, the lefty has been much better in 2026 with a 2.49 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 21.2 innings. A move away from Coors Field surely helped, but Rolison has also dialed his fastball up to 94.5 mph on average after sitting at 92.9 mph in 2025. His K/9 has climbed accordingly, from 5.3 to 8.7.

Manaea is expected to work in bulk relief behind opener Huascar Brazoban in Sunday's game against the Padres, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Though he's continuing to pitch out of the bullpen, Manaea will be making his second straight turn as the fifth member of the New York rotation after recently replacing David Peterson in that role. While working behind opener Austin Warren on Monday, Manaea covered a season-high five innings and struck out four batters while limiting Seattle to one earned run on one hit and one walk. The veteran southpaw has looked sharp over his last five appearances, compiling a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB over 16.2 innings.

Brazoban will serve as the Mets' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Padres, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

Brazoban will draw his sixth start of the season, but just like the previous five occasions, he's not expected to work more than an inning or two before exiting the contest. Sean Manaea is set to take over and cover multiple frames in bulk relief.

Gilbert will serve as the White Sox's opening pitcher for Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Brooke Fletcher of Chicago Sports Network reports.

In an effort to counter a Philadelphia offense with three key lefty hitters in Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh, the White Sox will go with a left-handed opener for the second straight day. Gilbert is likely to work the first inning or two before giving way to right-hander David Sandlin, who is set to work in bulk relief after getting the start in his first two MLB appearances.

Stewart (foot) threw to live hitters Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Stewart landed on the injured list May 9 due to a bone spur in his left foot. He was initially deemed to have a three-week return timeline, but that was pushed back in late May after he continued to experience discomfort in the foot. Stewart is presumably feeling better given his live bullpen Saturday, though it's unclear how long he'll remain on the shelf. Given that he's now missed almost a month of live action, Stewart will presumably need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated.

Miller allowed a walk and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets.

Miller allowed a run in a non-save situation Friday, but he was strong when he needed to be Saturday. Over his last nine appearances (9.1 innings), he has a 17:9 K:BB, though the recent lack of control has yet to lead to a blown save for him. He's converted all 18 of his save opportunities so far while pitching to a 1.01 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 51:12 K:BB through 26.2 innings. Considering Miller has pitched consecutive days, Jason Adam or Adrian Morejon may be called upon for a save chance if one comes up Sunday.
