Kittredge allowed one hit in a scoreless inning and earned a save over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Kittredge needed just eight pitches to finish off the 3-0 victory Sunday. After blowing two straight save chances, he's turned in two consecutive scoreless appearances with one save and a win. The 32-year-old is now sporting a 2.65 ERA with five saves through 17 frames this season.

Ridings has begun to throw from flat ground as he recovers from a right shoulder impingement, Joey Pollizze of MLB.com reports.

Ridings has been on the 60-day injured list since April 5, so he isn't eligible to return until early June. The right-hander has yet to pitch this season after entering spring with shoulder and back issues. Ridings will likely need a rehab assignment and may not have a spot on the 26-man roster even when he's physically ready to return to game action.

Warren underwent surgery on his broken nose May 10 and is currently resting before being reevaluated, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Warren was hit in the face by a ball during batting practice May 3 and sustained a nose fracture in six to seven places. With the surgery complete, he's expected to take at least a week to rest before being reevaluated. Warren could return to the team in June.

Gonzalez (elbow) was moved from the 10-day to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Gonzalez recently underwent left elbow surgery, and he's not expected to be able to return until at least August. With that in mind, his transfer to the 60-day IL doesn't impact his recovery timeline. The designation was one of a series of moves made by the Dodgers on Sunday to make room on the 40-man roster for Michael Grove and Shane Greene, both of whom were recalled from the minors.

Cleavinger was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

The 28-year-old was promoted Friday when Clayton Kershaw (pelvis) was placed on the injured list and will return to the minors after firing a scoreless inning Saturday. Cleavinger has given up one run with a 4:2 K:BB over 2.2 frames in the majors this season.

Trivino (1-2) secured the win during a victory over the Angels in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday, getting the final out of the ninth inning on a strikeout.

The right-hander actually entered in what was at the time a low-leverage spot, as the Athletics trailed 3-1 with only three outs left to mount a comeback. However, Trivino was rewarded for getting Mike Trout to strike out on four pitches when Oakland came up with three runs in the home half of the frame to emerge with a walk-off win. Trivino has done a good job righting his ship after a rough start to May during which he gave up five runs (four earned) to the Rays over two-thirds of an inning, as he's allowed just one earned run over the three frames covering his subsequent five appearances.

Munoz (1-1) took the loss against the Mets on Saturday, allowing an earned run on two hits and recording two strikeouts over one inning.

Munoz threw an impressive 15 of 17 pitches for strikes, but he still took the loss thanks to allowing a go-ahead home run to Patrick Mazeika. The hard-throwing right-hander has now allowed an earned run in three of his last five appearances, pushing his ERA and WHIP to 4.22 and 1.50, respectively.

May (triceps) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

May was shut down from throwing for four weeks after being diagnosed with a stress reaction in the lower portion of his humerus in early May, and he'll now be sidelined until at least early July. The 32-year-old will remain without a clear timeline for his return until he's able to begin a throwing program.

Bolanos allowed one run on two hits and two walks with four strikeouts in four relief innings in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Rockies.

Bolanos spared the Royals' bullpen with his quality long-relief assignment behind an ineffective start from Carlos Hernandez. This was the longest of Bolanos' five appearances this season, and his four strikeouts marked a season high. The right-hander has a 2.77 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 9:10 K:BB across 13 innings, and his 6.04 FIP indicates he's gotten more than his fair share of good luck.

Holderman had his contract selected by the Mets on Sunday.

The 26-year-old had a strong showing during spring training and will now receive his first look in the big leagues with Tylor Megill (biceps) headed to the injured list. Holderman has a 2.92 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB across 12.1 innings for Triple-A Syracuse this season and should fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen for New York.
