Jackson recorded his eighth hold in a win over the Mariners on Tuesday, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed a hit and a walk while recording a strikeout.

Jackson served as an effective bridge to closer Dany Jimenez in the ninth inning by putting together an eighth straight appearance without allowing an earned run. The right-hander has lowered his ERA from 4.91 to 2.75 in the process while also recording a win and four holds.

Misiewicz (0-1) was charged with the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on two hits and two walks over one inning.

Misiewicz got out of a two-on, two-out jam upon entering in the sixth inning by getting Jed Lowrie on a fielder's choice to end the frame, and he also induced a flyout and popup from Chad Pinder and Seth Brown, respectively, to open the seventh. However, the left-hander ultimately gave up run-scoring hits to Elvis Andrus and Luis Barrera that snapped a 5-5 tie. After generating three holds, a 1.86 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across his first 12 appearances of the season, Misiewicz has now surrendered five earned runs across his most recent three trips to the mound.

Leclerc (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Wednesday.

Leclerc has spent the start of the season continuing his rehab from Tommy John surgery that he underwent in March 2021. The Rangers are hopeful that the right-hander will be cleared to rejoin the major-league club by late June, and he'll likely require a fairly lengthy rehab assignment before he's in the mix to be activated from the injured list.

Moll (2-0) recorded the win in a victory over the Mariners on Tuesday, firing 1.1 scoreless innings during which he allowed a hit and recorded three strikeouts.

Moll continues to roll along as the Athletics' most effective reliever not named Dany Jimenez, as he's allowed just a single run across 17 appearances. The southpaw is working on a four-appearance scoreless streak during which he's posted an 8:1 K:BB over four innings.

The Mets recalled Szapucki from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Giants in San Francisco, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

New York optioned reliever Stephen Nogosek to the minors to make room on the 26-man active roster for Szapucki, who will likely just be making a spot start for the Mets before heading back to Syracuse. Over his seven starts at Syracuse this season, Szapucki has maxed out at five innings and has turned in a 2.86 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 23.1 K-BB%.

White is listed as the Dodgers' starting pitcher for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks in Arizona, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

White will stay in the rotation for a second turn despite being lit up for three runs on three hits and a walk over 2.1 innings in his first start last weekend in Philadelphia. Since he had previously been working out of the bullpen, White was pulled after throwing just 49 pitches against the Phillies, so he shouldn't be expected to work deep into Thursday's outing. If White sticks in the rotation beyond Thursday, however, he should be capable of handling a traditional starter's workload.

Garcia pitched a scoreless inning Tuesday versus the Mets, allowing one hit with no walks and no strikeouts.

Garcia has yet to give up a run in May, posting a 10.2-inning scoreless streak. The only two runs on his ledger this season were unearned, and he's added a 0.73 WHIP, 11:6 K:BB, a hold and a 1-1 record in 16.1 innings. The southpaw has been a bright spot in a Giants bullpen that has endured some struggles lately, so he could push for more holds going forward.

Leone surrendered two runs on two hits with one strikeout in one inning during Tuesday's 13-12 win over the Mets.

Leone was responsible for a two-run home run by Francisco Lindor in the seventh inning that started the Mets' late-inning push. This was the first time Leone's surrendered multiple runs in an appearance. The right-hander has a 3.68 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 17:2 K:BB, one save, four holds and a blown save in 14.2 innings this season. He's already allowed three homers in 2022 after giving up just two in 57 appearances in 2021.

Rogers allowed seven runs on seven hits in one-third of an inning during Tuesday's 13-12 win over the Mets.

Rogers was tasked with the eighth inning, but he labored through the appearance before Camilo Doval was brought in for damage control. In his last four outings, Rogers has given up multiple runs three times, surrendering 11 runs overall in that 3.1-inning sample. This brutal stretch has inflated his ERA to 7.41 with a 1.53 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB across 17 innings this year. He's picked up eight holds and a blown save, but his poor pitching lately could mean fewer high-leverage assignments for a while.

Brebbia (2-0) earned the win Tuesday versus the Mets. He allowed one run on one hit in one inning.

Brebbia surrendered a leadoff triple to Dominic Smith and a sacrifice fly to Brandon Nimmo, but he was able to limit the damage to one run. The Giants then walked it off in the bottom of the ninth to cap off a chaotic 13-12 win. In his last six appearances, Brebbia has given up five runs (four earned) in six innings. He owns a 2.70 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 20:5 K:BB and three holds through 20 innings.
