Hildenberger was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

The 30-year-old was promoted to the big leagues last week and surrendered four runs over 2.1 innings during his time with the team. Hildenberger also struggled with the Mets in 2020 with a 10.47 ERA across 16.1 innings.

Smith was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Smith was activated from the 10-day injured list in late April and sent down, but he'll join the Mets ahead of Sunday's series finale. Trevor Hildenberger was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Lawrence was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Lawrence was promoted at the end of April and gave up four runs on five hits with a 6:4 K:BB over 4.1 innings during his first taste of MLB action. Yency Almonte (hand) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

The Orioles placed Tate on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

Tate has worked in middle relief for Baltimore this season, picking up two holds while posting a 3.46 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB in 13 innings over 11 appearances. Rather than replacing Tate on the active roster with another reliever, Baltimore elected to recall outfielder Ryan McKenna from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move.

Almonte (hand) was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

The 26-year-old has been on the injured list since April 29 with a bruised right hand, and he'll rejoin Colorado's bullpen Sunday. Almonte has surrendered 12 runs with a 9:7 K:BB through 8.2 innings this season.

Guzman (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 25-year-old has been on the injured list since the start of the season with right elbow inflammation and doesn't appear particularly close to a return, so the move may not affect his return timeline. Guzman was throwing from 105 feet earlier in the week and will be eligible to return from the shelf at the end of May.

Castano was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 26-year-old took the loss Saturday after surrendering three runs over four innings, and he'll now make his way to Triple-A. Castano has a 5.19 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB over 17.1 innings (four starts) for the Marlins this season.

Hentges and Cleveland won't face Cincinnati on Sunday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

The two teams will make up the game Aug. 9. Hentges was scheduled to make his third career MLB start Sunday after he was battered for five runs (four earned) on 11 hits and two walks over 6.1 innings in his first two outings. Due to his poor results and his standing as Cleveland's No. 5 starter, Hentges could be pushed to the back of the team's pitching schedule heading into the upcoming week.

Treinen struck out two over a perfect ninth inning to secure his first save of the season in Saturday's 14-11 win over the Angels.

Kenley Jansen was likely available out of the bullpen after having not pitched either of the previous two days, but manager Dave Roberts instead elected to go with Treinen for the save chance after Jansen melted down in his most recent appearance Wednesday. Treinen turned in a stress-free ninth inning to put an end to the Angels' comeback from a 13-run deficit, and he may have positioned himself as the next man up for saves if the Dodgers decide to move Jansen out of the closer's role at some point. Despite an ugly 13:13 K:BB in 13.1 innings this season, Jansen's track record prior to 2021 likely gives him more job security than most relievers with his stat line.

Scrubb threw 1.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's 8-4 loss to Toronto.

Scrubb retired all five batters faced and provided space for Houston's bats to overcome a 5-0 deficit in what was his longest outing of the season. The right-hander has retired nine consecutive batters.
