The Tigers selected Foley's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

With Michael Fulmer landing on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain, a spot has opened up for Foley on the major-league roster. This marks Foley's first promotion to the big leagues. The right-hander has posted a 3.60 ERA and 10:4 K:BB across 10 innings at Triple-A Toledo this season. He'll look to make his major-league debut out of the Detroit bullpen in the coming days.

Fulmer was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right shoulder strain, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Fulmer has been unavailable in recent days because of what the Tigers described as fatigue. The right-hander has now been officially diagnosed with a shoulder strain and will require an IL stint. It's unclear when he could be able to return to the Detroit bullpen, but his placement on the injured list can be backdated to June 3, leaving him eligible to be reinstated June 13. With four saves and a 1.35 ERA to his name since the beginning of May, Fulmer had emerged as a key piece at the back of the Detroit bullpen, but his absence likely paves the way for Gregory Soto and/or Jose Cisnero to pick up most of the closing chances.

Atlanta optioned Webb to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Webb's latest stint with the big club lasted all of one day. He went unused Saturday in Atlanta's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers, and he'll now head back to Triple-A with the big club calling up Shane Greene from Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Ottavino retired the side in the eighth inning of Saturday's 7-3 win over the Yankees.

Ottavino was protecting a four-run lead, so he was not credited with a hold, but he retired the heart of the order: DJ LeMahieu, Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge. It was his 10th consecutive scoreless outing, during which he's given up three hits and five walks while striking out 11 over 8.2 innings. He had an inconsistent start with his new club but has settled in with a 2.78 ERA and 1.28 WHIP.

Holmes (2-0) earned the win in relief Saturday against the Marlins by tossing a scoreless inning.

Holmes tossed 10 of his 16 pitches for strikes and kept the Marlins off the board in the top of the 12th inning. That was enough to grant him his second win of the campaign. The 28-year-old right-hander has been pitching well of late, and he's gone 13 straight outings (12 innings) without allowing a run, posting an 11:4 K:BB in that span.

Cimber (1-2) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Pirates after allowing an unearned run on one hit and one walk in one-third of an inning.

Cimber pitched the 12th inning and while he retired Ke'Bryan Hayes with a flyout, he couldn't hold on and gave up the game-winning RBI on a single from Jacob Stallings that scored Adam Frazier. The 30-year-old right-hander has given up at least one run in four of his last five outings and owns a 5.68 ERA across 6.1 innings in that span.

Brogdon was credited with the save Saturday against the Nationals. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning and struck out two.

Brogdon only needed 14 pitches (nine strikes) to secure his first save of the season and did it in impressive fashion, striking out two of the three batters he faced -- none other than Trea Turner and Juan Soto. The 26-year-old right-hander got the save chance since the established closer, Hector Neris, was placed on the paternity list Saturday, so the former might not be tasked with picking up more save chances going forward. Jose Alvarado and Sam Coonrod could see save opportunities in the near future while Neris is unavailable, though the fact that Brogdon came through in the clutch when called upon is an encouraging sign for the future.

Howard didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Nationals after tossing 2.1 innings of one-run ball, allowing one hit and two walks while fanning two.

Howard was tagged with the Nationals' first run of the game but didn't have too many problems on the mound in his short, 48-pitch outing. Howard has been a starter in each of his last three appearances with the Phillies, but it remains to be seen whether he'll remain in the rotation or if he'll return to the bullpen moving forward. His upside as a starter is quite limited, though, as he's yet to pitch more than four complete innings in any of his appearances.

Trivino earned the save over the Rockies on Saturday, pitching a scoreless inning during which he gave up one hit and struck out one.

Trivino was called upon in the ninth inning to protect a three-run lead. He gave up a two-out single but nothing more to notch his eighth save. Since yielding five runs in a disastrous outing May 5, Trevino has not allowed an earned run over his subsequent nine outings covering 9.1 innings.

Rogers earned the save against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing one unearned run on one hit in one inning. He struck out one batter.

For the second game in a row, Rogers got the call with San Francisco ahead in the ninth inning. The Giants' defense committed two errors behind him to allow Chicago to pull within a run, but the right-hander got out of the inning with the save secure despite throwing only half of his 22 pitches for strikes. Rogers and Jake McGee each have eight saves on the season, but with five saves in his past eight appearances, Rogers may be the slight favorite for ninth-inning opportunities moving forward.
