Vest was removed during his appearance in the eighth inning of Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Reds due to an unspecified injury, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. He dropped to 5-1 on the season after retiring two of the six batters he faced and allowing three unearned runs on three hits.

Vest entered the game in a high-leverage spot in the top of the eighth, taking over with a runner on second base and no outs while the Tigers held a 4-2 lead. After allowing back-to-back base hits, Vest struck out Tyler Stephenson, then loaded the bases after Detroit was unable to record an out on a fielder's choice. Vest then allowed a game-tying sacrifice fly before Gavin Lux's single scratched through the go-ahead run. Vest remained in the game after Lux's base hit, but he uncorked a wild pitch that scored another run. The right-hander seemed to be in discomfort after the pitch and was lifted from the contest, though the Tigers didn't provide an immediate explanation for his removal. Manager A.J. Hinch will likely shed more light on Vest's situation after the game or when he meets with the media prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Pirates.

The Orioles claimed Tyler off waivers from the Phillies on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Norfolk, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Baltimore had an opening on its 40-man roster, so no corresponding move was needed to make room for Tyler. The 28-year-old right-hander will join his eighth different organization since entering the professional ranks in 2018. Tyler had pitched exclusively at Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season, accruing a 4.31 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 43:21 K:BB in 62.2 innings. He'll presumably slot into the rotation for Norfolk and could be an option to make starts for Baltimore later in 2025.

The Mets recalled Adcock from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Adcock will join the bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Justin Garza, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Over 18 appearances with Syracuse this season, Adcock owns a 4.91 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 22 innings.

The Mets optioned Garza to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.

Garza had covered three scoreless innings over the past two days, so he wasn't going to be available for the next game or two. New York opted to swap him off the 26-man roster for Ty Adcock, who was recalled from Syracuse.

The Marlins optioned Veneziano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Veneziano worked 1.1 innings and tossed 49 pitches between a pair of relief appearances the past two days, so he wasn't going to be available Sunday. The Marlins opted to swap him for a fresh bullpen arm in Freddy Tarnok, whose contract was selected from Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

The Marlins selected Tarnok's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Tarnok had been working primarily in the rotation at Jacksonville while posting a 4.79 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 44:18 K:BB in 41.1 innings over 12 appearances (10 starts). The Marlins are expected to deploy the right-hander out of the bullpen initially, but if he isn't needed over the next few days, he could be a candidate to make a spot start later next week.

Blewett will serve as the Orioles' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Angels, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Blewett opened a game for Atlanta back in April and will now do so for Baltimore in Sunday's series finale. The right-hander has covered two or more frames in eight of his 17 appearances this season, so he could be capable of giving the Orioles around three innings Sunday. Cade Povich, who was previously scheduled to start, is likely to follow Blewett in bulk relief.

The Rockies optioned Agnos to Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

Agnos leads the Rockies with four saves this season, but his ratios (5.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 3.3 K-BB% in 21.1 innings) have left much to be desired. After Agnos allowed runs in each of his last four appearances, the Rockies will have the 24-year-old righty report to the organization's performance lab in Arizona to hone his mechanics before he heads to Albuquerque, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com. Seth Halvorsen, Tyler Kinley, Victor Vodnik and Jake Bird look to be the Rockies' top high-leverage relievers, but mining for saves on a 13-57 squad could prove to be a fruitless endeavor for fantasy managers.

Smith took a comebacker off his forehead Friday but remained in the game, Josh Kirshenbaum of MLB.com reports.

Smith talked the medical staff into letting him stay in the game, and he struck out the next batter he faced to finish off the inning. The right-hander then struck out two during a 1-2-3 inning in Saturday's game. He's been an effective bullpen arm for the Guardians in 2025, posting a 2.32 ERA with three saves and a 47:10 K:BB over 31 innings.

The Tigers designated Brebbia for assignment Sunday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

The veteran right-hander has given up seven runs in his past four outings, and he's now lost his place on Detroit's 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Brebbia has a 7.71 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 20:11 K:BB across 18.2 innings this season and will now go through the waivers process.
