Ramirez fired three scoreless innings in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday, allowing a hit and a walk while recording four strikeouts.

Ramirez's current big-league stint continued unblemished Saturday, as he's now put together five scoreless frames across three appearances since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma last Sunday. The right-hander boasts a 3.00 ERA and 0.67 WHIP across five appearances with the Mariners following a successful 2020 debut when he recorded three saves, one hold and a 2.61 ERA across 20.2 innings over 16 appearances.

Montero fired 2.2 scoreless innings during which he allowed a hit and recorded three strikeouts during a loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

The veteran reliever put together a much-needed resurgent effort following three straight appearances in which he allowed multiple earned runs and saw his season ERA balloon to 6.75. Despite his effectiveness Saturday, Montero is likely to see a fairly healthy dose of low-leverage assignments until he proves he's righted his ship over an extended period.

Fleming's recovery from a right calf strain has gone well, and manager Kevin Cash expects him to be activated off the injured list and available Tuesday against Cleveland, the Associated Press reports.

The left-hander will end up spending just the minimum 10 days on the IL if Cash's prognosis proves accurate. Michael Wacha is currently listed as the Rays' probable starter for Tuesday's game, but it's possible Cash eventually confirms the veteran and Fleming will operate in tandem for that game.

Curtiss was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with neck stiffness, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Curtiss last pitched one-third of an inning June 30 and has now landed on the injury list with the neck issue. Jordan Holloway was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Rogers allowed a hit and struck out one in one inning to earn a hold in Saturday's 6-5 win over Arizona.

The right-hander appears to have shifted back into a setup role, as he has accrued four holds and one save in his eight outings following a blown save June 9. Rogers hasn't allowed a run since that misstep, giving up only five hits while striking out eight in eight innings. Manager Gabe Kapler has alternated between Rogers and Jake McGee as the closer for stretches this season, as both have pitched well late in games. For the year, Rogers has a 1.36 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB while piling up nine saves and 14 holds in 39.2 innings.

Thompson was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

The 23-year-old was added to the big-league roster June 20 and appeared in four games during his first taste of the majors. Thompson will head back to Triple-A after giving up a run on four hits with two strikeouts and a walk over three frames.

Mears was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

The 24-year-old had a five-day stint in the majors in late May but didn't make his season debut during his time with the team. Mears has struggled at Triple-A this season with a 6.19 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB over 16 innings.

Andriese (2-3) allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits in a third of an inning Saturday to take the loss in extra innings to the Athletics.

The Red Sox staked Andriese to a two-run lead in the top of the 12th inning, and he gave it all away in just 13 pitches during the bottom half of the frame. The right-hander got off to a brilliant start in April but has gone south since the beginning of May. He has a 7.99 ERA while permitting seven home runs over 23.2 innings in the last 16 games. The downturn could be attributed to usage -- Andriese has gone more than a week without pitching three times since the beginning of June -- as Boston has not needed its go-to multi-inning reliever often. Manager Alex Cora told Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com that Andriese is still needed.

Wilson allowed five runs on four hits and one walk without retiring a batter in Saturday's loss to the Mets.

The left-hander was called upon in the sixth inning with the Mets ahead by three runs. Wilson couldn't keep the game close, allowing three straight singles followed by a walk and a double before departing with the Yankees down 6-0. Both baserunners he passed on to Michael King soon came around to score, and Wilson was charged with five total runs in the outing. His season ERA jumped to an ugly 8.79 as a result, and he has given up at least one earned run in three of his past four appearances.

The Yankees reinstated Peralta (back) from the 10-day injured list and added him as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets.

A back strain landed the lefty on the 10-day IL on June 26. His most recent appearance June 18 against the Athletics was a rough one, as he allowed three runs on three hits in 1.1 innings. It's unclear whether Peralta will rejoin the Yankees' 26-man roster or be sent to Triple-A following the doubleheader.
