Clase was charged with a blown save against the Reds on Saturday. He pitched one inning and gave up an unearned run on three hits without collecting any walks or strikeouts.

Clase could have gotten out of the inning without allowing a baserunner, but a two-out error by first baseman Josh Naylor was followed by three straight Reds singles to tie the score. It was a tough-luck first blown save for the right-hander, who still hasn't given up an earned run this season. He's allowed an unearned run in each of his past three save opportunities, however, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to hold off fellow fireballer James Karinchak for the ninth-inning role.

Garcia (0-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and one walk while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Saturday to the Marlins.

Garcia entered the bottom of the 10th inning for a save opportunity in a one-run game. Needing only one more out, Garcia surrendered a two-run double from Jorge Alfaro to end the game. The 28-year-old has made four relief appearances this season and has allowed at least one run in three of them.

Gonzalez recorded the save in Saturday's win over the Padres, walking one and recording the final two outs of the game.

The 25-year-old came in shaky with a wild pitch to advance a runner and proceeded to walk Jurickson Profar, but he got himself together and retired the following two batters. Gonzalez recorded his first save of the season, partially due to limited bullpen availability after Friday night's extra-inning affair.

Garcia (2-1) allowed one run (zero earned) on two hits while striking out one in the 10th inning, earning the win over the Giants on Saturday.

After getting the save Friday, Garcia entered the game tied in the 10th inning. He allowed only the leadoff runner on second base to score. He received the win after the Marlins walked it off in the bottom of the inning. After taking the loss Opening Day, the 30-year-old has been perfect by firing 8.1 scoreless innings en route to three saves and two wins.

Strahm (knee) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

The 29-year-old continues his recovery from patellar tendon surgery on his right knee in October and won't be retaking the field in the near future. Strahm didn't pitch at any point during spring training and will be unavailable until at least the start of June.

Ramirez had his contract selected by the Padres on Saturday.

The 31-year-old inked a minor-league deal with the Friars in December, and he'll join the big-league club two weeks into the season. Ramirez appeared in five games last season and had a 4.07 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 79.2 innings during 2019.

Suero is undergoing an MRI on his left side after exiting Saturday's game against Arizona, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

The 29-year-old issued a walk and delivered two pitches to another batter before being removed from Saturday's contest with the injury. Suero should be considered day-to-day until the team announces the results of the MRI.

Solomon was recalled by the Astros on Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Solomon has yet to throw an inning above the High-A level, though he probably would have advanced beyond that point by now if not for 2019 Tommy John surgery and the canceled minor-league season last year. In just 109.1 total innings as a professional, he owns a 2.30 ERA and a 29.2 percent strikeout rate. Solomon takes the place of Blake Taylor (ankle), who landed on the injured list.

Manager Dave Roberts said Jansen is unavailable to pitch Saturday at San Diego, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

The 33-year-old threw 26 pitches and allowed one run on one hit and one walk with two strikeouts over 1.1 innings Friday in a non-save situation, so he won't be available for Saturday's contest. Corey Knebel has two saves and three holds through seven appearances this season and is the likely option to fill in for Jansen as the closer.

Taylor (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Taylor had to be carted off the field Friday against the Mariners due to an ankle that was "severely sprained" according to manager Dusty Baker, so the trip to the injured list isn't a surprise. It's unclear when he'll be able to return. Peter Solomon was called up in a corresponding move.
