  • Yankees' Jonathan Loaisiga: Earns win Sunday

    Loaisiga (7-2) allowed no hits and one walk while striking out one in 1.2 scoreless innings to earn the win against the Athletics on Sunday.

    Loaisiga now hasn't given up a run in any of his last 11 relief appearances, and he was rewarded with his seventh win of the year Sunday. The right-hander has posted a 1.63 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with two saves and eight holds in 38.2 innings this season.

  • Sean Manaea SP | NYM

    Athletics' Sean Manaea: Strikes out 11 in loss

    Manaea (6-3) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out 11 in 5.1 innings to take the loss against the Yankees on Sunday.

    Manaea had earned wins in each of his last three starts, and he allowed one run in 20.2 innings during that time. Although he racked up a season-high 11 strikeouts Sunday, he couldn't get enough run support from the Athletics in the low-scoring contest. The southpaw has now posted a 3.01 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 86.2 innings this year. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against San Francisco on Friday.

  • Indians' James Karinchak: Earns save Sunday

    Karinchak earned the save Sunday against the Pirates after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, walking one and striking out one.

    Karinchak has gone 8-for-9 in save chances this season. He had to work to get the job done Sunday, as he needed 23 pitches to close things out, and only 13 of those were strikes. The right-hander owns a 2.84 ERA on the season.

  • Phil Maton RP | CHC

    Indians' Phil Maton: Strikes out three in relief

    Maton (2-0) gave up one run on three hits while fanning three in one inning Sunday against Pittsburgh. He earned the win.

    Maton allowed Pittsburgh's lone run of the game, but he also struck out the three batters he retired en route to his second win of the campaign. The right-hander ended a streak of three scoreless outings and has given up runs in three of his seven appearances this month. He owns a 5.86 ERA across 24 appearances (27.2 innings) on the campaign.

  • Sam Hentges RP | SF

    Indians' Sam Hentges: Tosses five scoreless frames

    Hentges didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Pirates after tossing five scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a walk while fanning four.

    Hentges has shifted between the rotation and the bullpen and has pitched well of late. He has not allowed a run in any of his last three outings while posting an 11:1 K:BB across that span (eight innings). The left-hander has pitched at least five frames just twice this season, and it remains to be seen whether he'll remain in the rotation moving forward or if he'll return to the bullpen.

  • Twins' Kyle Barraclough: Links up with Twins

    Barraclough signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Sunday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

    The right-hander was released by the Yankees on Friday and didn't take long to latch on with a new organization. Barraclough worked at Triple-A before being let go and posted a 3.21 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB across 14 innings.

  • Mariners' Isaiah Campbell: Requires elbow surgery

    Campbell underwent a cleanup procedure on his right elbow and is on the 7-day injured list at High-A Everett, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.

    The 23-year-old is receiving his first taste of professional baseball in 2021 and has a 2.33 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB over 19.1 innings at High-A, but he's now on the injured list. It's unclear how long Campbell is expected to be sidelined.

  • Bryse Wilson RP | MIL

    Braves' Bryse Wilson: Sent back down

    Wilson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett following Sunday's start against the Cardinals.

    Wilson was charged with the loss in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader, as he gave up five runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out four in four innings. He'll head back to the minors ahead of Sunday's nightcap but could be an option to rejoin the major-league club at some point next week.

  • Jacob Webb RP | CHC

    Braves' Jacob Webb: Called up as 27th man

    Webb was recalled by Atlanta as the 27th man for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    Webb has made 17 relief appearances with the big-league club this year and has posted a 5.29 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 17 innings during that time. The right-hander will be an option out of the bullpen in Sunday's nightcap but could return to the minors after the twin bill.

  • Nick Ramirez RP | LAD

    Padres' Nick Ramirez: Back with big club

    The Padres recalled Ramirez from Triple-A El Paso ahead of Sunday's game against the Reds, MLB.com reports.

    Ramirez will give the Padres some extra coverage out of the bullpen after the team used five relievers to cover nine innings in Saturday's 7-5 win. The 31-year-old southpaw previously made seven relief appearances for San Diego, giving up six earned runs on 12 hits and four walks over 10.2 innings.
