Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Shifted to 60-day IL
Roberts (shoulder) was moved to the 60-day injured list Monday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Roberts recently began a throwing program May 14, but he will now have to wait until late June to return from the shoulder injury. The move to the 60-day IL frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Matt Swarmer, whose contract was selected Monday.

Brett Martin RP | TEX
Rangers' Brett Martin: Loses fourth game
Martin (0-4) took the loss Sunday, allowing one run on two hits in two-thirds of an inning against Oakland.
The Athletics walked off Martin, who has a 6.30 ERA over his last 12 appearances and 4.67 for the season. Some of that may be due to luck. The left-handed reliever sports a 2.90 FIP while opponents have a .345 BABIP off him.

Edwin Diaz RP | LAD
Mets' Edwin Diaz: Picks up second win
Diaz (2-1) earned the win during Sunday's 2-1 victory against the Phillies, allowing a walk while striking out one in a scoreless 10th inning.
Diaz was brought in for the 10th after New York tied the game in the ninth and got three outs while intentionally walking Bryce Harper. He became the victor for the first time since April 22 when the Mets won on a walk-off in the bottom of the 10th. It was encouraging to see the 28-year-old succeed in a non-save situation, as Diaz had blown two of his last four save chances. He now owns a 2.61 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 20.2 innings.

Cody Sedlock RP | BAL
Orioles' Cody Sedlock: Works three innings in debut
Sedlock allowed five runs on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts in three innings versus the Red Sox on Sunday.
Sedlock got through the fifth through seventh innings without too much trouble, but he got into trouble in the eighth. Marcos Diplan allowed an inherited runner to score after Sedlock left the contest. It was far from a dream debut for the right-hander, who will need to show more than what he did Sunday to maintain his place on the major-league roster.

Camilo Doval RP | SF
Giants' Camilo Doval: Shaky in non-save situation
Doval allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one in one inning during Sunday's 6-4 win over the Reds.
Doval entered the game with a four-run lead in the ninth inning. He gave up a two-run home run to Albert Almora before finishing off the appearance. Doval hasn't converted a save since May 17, pitching just three times since then and allowing four runs (three earned). The right-hander owns a 3.44 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across 18.1 innings. He's logged seven saves and an 0-2 record while serving as one of the Giants' top closing options.

John Brebbia RP | COL
Giants' John Brebbia: Grabs third win
Brebbia (3-0) allowed one hit in a scoreless inning to earn the win Sunday versus the Reds.
Brebbia pitched the seventh inning and the Giants pulled ahead with a six-run rally in the top of the eighth. All three of Brebbia's wins have come in his last seven outings. The right-hander has allowed three runs (two earned) in 6.1 innings during that span. He has a 2.49 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB while adding three holds in 21 appearances spanning 21.2 innings.

Rafael Montero RP | NYY
Astros' Rafael Montero: Picks up second win
Montero (2-0) did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless seventh inning while striking out two to earn the win Sunday against the Mariners.
Montero has allowed only one earned run across 19.2 innings this season while also maintaining a 23:5 K:BB. His dominance was on display Sunday as he needed just nine pitches to set the Mariners down in order. Though Ryan Pressly is locked into the closer role, Montero is capable of delivering excellent ratios and has also racked up six holds on the campaign.

Josh Winder RP | ARI
Twins' Josh Winder: Begins throwing
Winder (right shoulder impingement) has been playing catch and will begin ramping up this week, the John Shipley of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
He plans to throw off a mound later this week. Winder was originally expected to miss the minimum 15 days on the injured list, but he may need a rehab start or two before returning.

Gregory Soto RP | PIT
Tigers' Gregory Soto: Secures save Sunday
Soto yielded one hit in a scoreless inning Sunday, recording one strikeout and earning a save over Cleveland.
Soto allowed a two-out single to Owen Miller but had no issue finishing off the 2-1 win against Detroit's division rival. The 27-year-old southpaw is riding a 6.2-inning scoreless streak, lowering his season ERA to 2.30 through 15.2 frames. He's converted eight of his nine save chances while posting a 13:8 K:BB this year.

Elieser Hernandez RP | ATL
Marlins' Elieser Hernandez: Struggles in short outing
Hernandez (2-5) allowed four runs on seven hits over four innings, striking out three and taking a loss against Atlanta on Sunday.
Hernandez coughed up three solo homers in the loss, including a pair from Marcell Ozuna. He made a scoreless appearance out of the bullpen against the Rays on May 25, but he's now lost four straight starts. His ERA bumped up to 5.77 with a 40:13 K:BB through 43.2 frames. Hernandez is currently lined up to face the Giants at home next week.
