Abreu was recalled by the Yankees on Saturday.

Abreu was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Friday's game against Detroit, but he'll return to the active roster after left-hander Justin Wilson (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list as part of a corresponding move. Abreu has made three relief appearances for the Yankees to begin the season and has allowed one run on no hits and four walks while striking out seven in five innings.

Garcia was recalled by the Yankees ahead of his scheduled start against the Tigers on Saturday.

Garcia spent the last month with the Triple-A club and posted a 5.17 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 15.2 innings across four starts in the minors. He'll return to the Yankees' active roster and could have a chance to solidify a spot in the starting rotation since Corey Kluber (shoulder) is facing an extended absence. Left-hander Justin Wilson (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list as part of a corresponding move.

Wilson was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Saturday.

Wilson took the loss in relief against the Tigers on Friday, as he allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and no walks in two-thirds of an inning. It's not yet clear whether he'll be forced to spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the injured list, while right-handers Albert Abreu and Deivi Garcia were recalled as part of a corresponding move.

Paredes was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Paredes returned to the big-league bullpen in mid-May and made four appearances during his most recent stint in the majors. However, he allowed seven runs (four earned) on four hits and five walks while striking out five in three innings during that time. Paredes will head back to the minors to make room on the active roster for Jake Odorizzi (forearm), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday.

Rogers (1-0) allowed three runs on three hits in one inning but earned the win Friday versus the Dodgers.

Rogers gave up a game-tying three-run home run to Austin Barnes in the bottom of the ninth inning. It was just the second home run Rogers has given up in 27 appearances this year. He then got the win when San Francisco reclaimed the lead in the top of the 10th, and Jarlin Garcia was able to notch the save. Despite Friday's hiccup, Rogers has posted a 1.63 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB across 27.2 innings this season. He's seen more ninth-inning work than Jake McGee lately, but the back end of the Giants' bullpen is very much a committee situation.

Melancon (1-0) blew the save but took the win against Houston on Friday, allowing an unearned run on three walks over one inning.

After the Padres took a one-run lead in the top of the 10th inning, Melancon was called upon to shut the door in the bottom of the frame. He allowed the inherited runner to score on a sacrifice fly and walked three batters but was able to get out of the inning having allowed only the unearned run. Melancon was then credited with the victory after San Diego exploded for seven runs in the top of the next frame. Still, it was a rare unimpressive outing for the right-hander, who tossed only 11 of 28 pitches for strikes and blew his first save of the campaign. He still leads the league with 17 saves and has posted a 0.77 ERA over 23.1 innings.

Misiewicz secured his 10th hold in a win over the Rangers on Friday, striking out the side in a perfect sixth inning.

Misiewicz threw 10 of 16 pitches for strikes in what was his third straight scoreless appearance and fifth in his last six trips to the mound overall. The left-hander sports a bloated 5.00 ERA and 1.56 WHIP for the season, but those numbers are almost exclusively the byproduct of him allowing three earned runs in a trio of appearances; factoring out those hiccups, Misiewicz has yielded just one other run across his 23 outings.

Chapman (illness) tossed a scoreless inning against Detroit on Friday, allowing a walk and notching one strikeout.

Chapman missed two days while suffering from a non-COVID-19 illness, but he was able to get back on the mound Friday. The fireballer entered a tie game in the bottom of the ninth inning and immediately issued a walk, though the Tigers were unable to get a run across the plate. New York then took a lead in the 10th frame, but manager Aaron Boone opted against putting Chapman on the mound for a second inning, and Detroit ultimately pulled the game out with a pair of runs against Justin Wilson. Chapman should be good to go moving forward as he looks to build upon a season in which he has secured 11 saves while registering a 0.45 ERA and 38:9 K:BB across 20 innings.

Burdi was recalled by the White Sox as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

Burdi will offer another arm out of the bullpen for Saturday's twin bill after he posted a 4.26 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 6.1 innings across five relief appearances with Triple-A Charlotte to begin the year. The right-hander will likely return to the minors after the doubleheader.

Lakins was recalled as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

Lakins was sent to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, but he'll return to the big-league club for Saturday's twin bill. The right-hander will provide bullpen depth after he posted a 7.36 ERA in 14.2 innings in the majors to begin the year, and he'll likely return to Triple-A Norfolk after Saturday's doubleheader.
