Reed was recalled by the Mets on Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Reed made a pair of relief appearances for the Mets back in May, throwing three scoreless innings. He's up to replace Colin Holderman, who landed on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement.

Lopez allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

Lopez now has two saves and 3.1 scoreless innings in his last three appearances after allowing unearned runs in each of his two outings before this stretch. The right-hander had no trouble pitching around a one-out Bobby Witt single in the ninth inning. Lopez has been excellent in a high-leverage role with a 0.93 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB across 29 innings, and he hasn't walked a batter in his last eight frames. He's 8-for-10 in save chances while adding a 3-3 record.

Holderman was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The move was backdated to Wednesday, leaving Holderman eligible to return June 24, though it's unclear if he'll have a shot at a minimum-length stay. Jake Reed was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.

Cisnero (shoulder) paused his rehab assignment Saturday.

Cisnero has been out all year with a strained shoulder. He made his first rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday but suffered a setback. It's unclear when he'll eventually return to the big-league level.

Daniel's contract was selected by the Angels on Saturday.

Daniel doesn't come with a ton of prospect pedigree, as he was the 211th overall pick in the 2019 draft and looks like a back-end starter at best according to his scouting reports. He recorded a 3.64 ERA in nine starts for Triple-A Salt Lake this season, though that came with a modest 19.3 percent strikeout rate. He's pitched almost exclusively as a starter in the minors, but it looks like he'll be a reliever for now, as the Angels don't have a hole in their rotation at the moment.

Junis has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Manager Gabe Kapler stated Saturday that it's not a mild strain for Junis, so he could miss well over the minimum 15 days. Sean Hjelle could be an option to make a spot start next week and Alex Cobb (neck) and Anthony DeSclafani (ankle) figure to beat Junis back to the rotation.

Thompson (biceps) threw live batting practice Saturday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

He had been throwing bullpen sessions and continues advancing in his throwing progression. Thompson could soon go on a rehab assignment.

Rucker was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

He has a 5.40 ERA and 1.44 WHIP while working as a multi-inning reliever in the majors this season. Rucker should work in low-leverage spots.

Bruihl was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Bruihl is coming off his worst outing of the season in which he gave up three earned runs in an inning against the Giants on Friday. He could be back up with the Dodgers later this summer, though he'll likely be limited to serving as bullpen depth.

Mayza (forearm) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of Saturday's game against the Tigers.

Mayza will be active for this contest if there is a need. He has been out since May 14 and logged a 2.08 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and seven holds in 13 innings prior to getting injured.
