The Cardinals recalled Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis on Sunday.

Graceffo will provide some extra coverage in the bullpen after St. Louis burned through five relievers in Saturday's 11-inning win. After beginning the season as a starter at Triple-A, Graceffo transitioned to the bullpen upon returning to Memphis on May 31 following a three-week stint in the big leagues. Over nine relief outings with Memphis, Graceffo supplied a 3.46 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB in 13 innings.

The Reds recalled Zulueta from Triple-A Louisville prior to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

In a corresponding move, Cincinnati optioned Chase Petty to Triple-A to open up a spot for a fresh bullpen arm. Zulueta previously spent five days with the big club back in May. Since he was optioned to Louisville, he's pitched to a 5.06 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB in 16 innings over 13 appearances.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that testing on De Los Santos' right elbow showed "nothing acute or new," per MLB.com.

De Los Santos landed on the IL on Thursday due to right elbow discomfort. The righty reliever subsequently underwent testing, the results of which Boone described as "good news." Boone added that De Los Santos could resume throwing "in pretty short order," so for the time being it appears that the hurler isn't looking at an extended absence.

Coloumbe will serve as the Twins' opening pitcher Sunday against the Brewers, Audra Martin of Fanduel Sports Network North reports.

The left-hander will make the second start of his MLB career and first since 2021. Coulombe has been effective in a high-leverage role this season with two saves, two holds and a 0.46 ERA over 19.2 innings, but he'll given Minnesota an inning or two as an opener Sunday before turning the game over to the bullpen. David Festa was previously penciled in to start Sunday and could follow Coulombe in a bulk role.

The White Sox optioned Palisch to Double-A Birmingham on Sunday.

The 26-year-old was promoted Friday by Chicago and made his MLB debut a day later, giving up two earned runs over one inning. Palisch will now head back to Birmingham, where he has a 1.17 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB across 16 appearances (seven starts) this season.

The Orioles recalled Hiraldo from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

He'll join the bullpen as a replacement for Yennier Cano, who was optioned to Norfolk in a corresponding move. Hiraldo received his first big-league call-up in late May and tossed 1.1 scoreless innings in his lone relief appearances before being sent back to Triple-A a few days later.

The Orioles optioned Cano to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

An All-Star in 2023, Cano took a step back statistically in 2024 and has continued to see his performance trend downward in 2025. Though he's still tied for second on the team with 11 holds, Cano had been working mostly in middle relief since the beginning of June and owned underwhelming ratios (4.73 ERA, 1.39 WHIP) over 30 appearances. After seeing action Friday and Saturday, Cano was unlikely to be available for another day or two, so the Orioles elected to send him to Triple-A in favor of a fresh relief arm in right-hander Yaramil Hiraldo.

Double-A Erie placed Montalvo on its 7-day injured list June 6 due to an unspecified injury.

The 23-year-old right-hander produced a 4.50 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 34:18 K:BB in 44 innings over 11 appearances (10 starts) for Erie before landing on the shelf following his most recent start June 4. The Tigers haven't provided word on the nature of his injury, nor has the organization offered up a timeline for his return to the Erie rotation.

Beeks threw a 1-2-3 eighth inning to record a hold in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

Beeks needed seven pitches (five strikes) to mow down the top of Colorado's order and pick up his 10th hold before handing the ball off to closer Shelby Miller. Beeks has been money well spent by the Diamondbacks, who have navigated injuries and subpar performances in what was expected to be the late-game relief crew. He, Ryan Thompson and Miller have stepped in for Justin Martinez (elbow), A.J. Puk (elbow) and Kevin Ginkel (5.22 ERA). Beeks has a 2.97 ERA with 10 holds, one save and a 33:11 K:BB rate over 36.1 innings.

Pagan blew the save Saturday against the Cardinals. He allowed one run on one hit with no walks while striking out four over 1.1 innings.

The right-hander entered for a four-out save after Tony Santillan gave up two runs in the eighth, but he blew the lead by allowing a solo homer to Nolan Arenado to open the ninth, his first blown save since May 6. Pagan has otherwise had a solid year as the Reds' closer, posting a 3.38 ERA and 0.88 WHIP over 32 innings and 32 appearances. That marks a notable improvement from his 2024 campaign, when he recorded a 4.50 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 38 innings in 38 games.
