Megill's contract was selected by the Twins on Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Megill began the season at Triple-A St. Paul, and he posted a 3.27 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 11 innings over nine relief appearances. He made 28 appearances out of the bullpen for the Cubs last year and will likely serve mainly as a low-leverage reliever for Minnesota.

Winder was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Winder wasn't listed among the starters for the Twins' weekend series in Kansas City since Bailey Ober (groin) was reinstated from the injured list and will start Sunday. However, Winder is apparently dealing with an injury of his own and will be forced to miss at least a week and a half. It's not yet clear whether he'll serve as a starter or pitch out of the bullpen once he's cleared to return.

Winckowski is a candidate to start in one of the two games during Boston's doubleheader against the Orioles next weekend, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Winckowski began the season at Triple-A Worcester and has posted a 2.10 ERA, 28:6 K:BB and 0.83 WHIP in 25.2 innings over six starts in the minors. The right-hander hasn't yet made his major-league debut, but manager Alex Cora hinted Saturday that Winckowski is in the mix to start next weekend.

Bummer (knee) is expected to return from the injured list when first eligible Sunday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Bummer has been out with a sore knee since early May, but it looks as though he won't need more than a minimum-length absence. He wasn't at his best prior to the injury, posting a 4.91 ERA over 11 innings, but he recorded a 2.63 ERA over the previous three seasons and should be one of the White Sox's top bullpen options going forward if he can get back to that level.

Medina was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as the 27th man in Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Medina served as the 27th man during Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, and he'll serve as an extra man once again during Saturday's twin bill. The right-hander has made three relief appearances for the Mets this year and has struck out six in 6.1 scoreless innings.

Brebbia struck out one in a perfect inning during Friday's 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

Brebbia has given up runs in only three of his 17 appearances this season, and he's yet to surrender a homer. He's allowed three runs in nine inning in May, and he's got a 2.00 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB with three holds in 18 innings overall.

Reed was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Reed made his 2022 debut during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, and he allowed no hits and two walks while striking out two in two innings to earn the win. After spending a few days in the minors, the right-hander will rejoin the Mets' bullpen prior to Saturday's twin bill against Colorado.

Suarez earned a save against the Giants on Friday, allowing an unearned run on one hit while striking out one over one inning.

With closer Taylor Rogers unavailable for San Diego, the team turned to Luis Garcia to hold a two-run, ninth-inning lead. He was unable to do so, but the Padres put up a pair of runs in the top of the 10th and handed the ball to Suarez in the bottom of the frame. The right-hander came through with his first career save despite allowing the inherited runner to score on a one-out single. Since being knocked around for three runs in his season debut, Suarez has posted a 2.20 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB across 16.1 innings.

Mayza (forearm) will play catch Saturday or Sunday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Mayza has been shut down for a week due to left forearm inflammation, but he underwent a second MRI on Friday that came back clean. It's not yet clear when the southpaw will be able to resume mound work, but it's encouraging that he's been cleared to play catch following his shutdown.

Doval (0-2) took the loss during Friday's 8-7 defeat at the hands of the Padres, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits with one strikeout in one inning.

Doval was brought in to pitch the 10th inning of a tie game and surrendered two hits within the first three batters to put San Francisco in a two-run hole it couldn't crawl out of. The 24-year-old has dropped both tie games he's entered this month, though he's been lights out when given a lead. Doval now possesses a 2.70 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 22 strikeouts and nine walks in 16.2 innings across 16 appearances.
