Kay pitched four scoreless innings, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out six in the win over the Phillies on Saturday. He did not factor into the decision.

Kay allowed just three base runners in his four innings pitched. This was his first start in which he didn't allow any runs. The 26-year-old is more acclimated with bulk relief than starting, with his four innings Saturday tying his longest outing of the season. He has struggled this season, carrying a 7.24 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 13.2 innings. His next start is tentatively lined up for Friday against Tampa Bay.

Scrubb tweaked "something in his leg" and was unavailable for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

The 26-year-old apparently suffered the injury while warming up for Saturday's contest. It's unclear if Scrubb will be available for Sunday's series finale or if a trip to the injured list is being considered.

Devenski was placed on the 60-day injured list Saturday with a sprained UCL in his right elbow.

The 30-year-old last pitched Thursday against the Marlins and surrendered two runs on four hits over two-thirds of an inning. Devenski will now be sidelined for at least the next two months while on the 60-day IL, though given it's a UCL injury, a longer absence wouldn't be surprising.

Mantiply's contract was selected by the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Mantiply has thrown eight career innings of relief at the big-league level without much success. He's allowed 12 runs on 13 hits while striking out six and walking eight. Chris Devenski (elbow) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Bukauskas was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right elbow flexor strain.

The 24-year-old surrendered two runs on four hits over an inning Friday against the Nationals, and he'll now be sidelined by the elbow strain. Bukauskas is eligible to return May 25, but it's unclear if he's expected to be activated after a minimum stay on the shelf.

Gilbreath was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

The 25-year-old has now completed his second stint in the majors this season and has allowed six runs on eight hits with five strikeouts and two walks over 5.1 innings. Gilbreath worked as a starter the last time he was in the minors in 2019, and it's unclear if he'll return to that role or continue working out of the bullpen.

Uceta was recalled by the Dodgers on Saturday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Uceta is already on his third stint with the big-league team so far this season. He appeared once in each of his first two, giving up two runs in 4.1 innings. AJ Pollock (hamstring) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Puk (biceps) was charged with the loss in Triple-A Las Vegas' defeat at the hands of Reno on Friday, allowing an earned run on one hit over one inning while also recording a strikeout.

Puk threw 10 of 17 pitches for strikes in what was his second rehab outing for the Aviators. The big left-hander is likely slated for at least a couple more appearances before activation is considered, with a potential bump in workload on tap forthcoming after Puk logged an inning apiece in each of his first two trips to the mound for Las Vegas.

Milner's contract was selected by the Brewers on Saturday.

Milner gives the Brewers an additional lefty in the bullpen, with Eric Lauer heading to the minors to stretch out as a starter in a corresponding move. Milner owns a passable 4.53 ERA in 55.2 career big-league innings, though his combination of an 18.2 percent strikeout rate and an 11.1 percent walk rate is unimpressive.

Trivino, who fired a scoreless ninth inning in a win over the Twins on Friday, has three consecutive scoreless appearances since giving up five earned runs over one-third of an inning to the Blue Jays on May 5.

Manager Bob Melvin got his part-time closer some low-leverage work in Friday's 6-1 win, giving Trivino an opportunity to build on a strong stretch of outings following his May 5 meltdown versus Toronto. The 29-year-old picked up a save and a hold in his other two trips to the mound since that appearance, and he and left-hander Jake Diekman figure to continue divvying up save chances during Trevor Rosenthal's long recovery from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery.
