John Brebbia RP | COL
Tigers' John Brebbia: DFA'd by Detroit
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.

Tigers' Bailey Horn: On shelf at Triple-A
Triple-A Toledo placed Horn on its 7-day injured list May 24 due to left elbow inflammation, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Horn last pitched for Toledo on May 17 before landing on the shelf a week later, but he may be on the cusp of a return. He began a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday and has given up four runs (three earned) on three hits and one walk over 1.2 innings through his first two appearances.

Triple-A Toledo placed Guenther on its 7-day injured list May 30 due to an unspecified injury.
The southpaw reliever posted a 5.23 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 10.1 innings over nine appearances for Detroit before being optioned to Triple-A on May 23. He made just two appearances for Toledo before hitting the shelf with an injury.

Tyler Holton RP | DET
Tigers' Tyler Holton: Opening again Sunday
Holton will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Reds, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Horton will work as an opener for the third time this season after doing so nine times in 2024. The left-hander has surrendered five earned runs in his past five outings and has a 4.22 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB across 32 innings this season. Sawyer Gipson-Long is expected to follow him in bulk relief Sunday.

Greg Weissert RP | BOS
Red Sox's Greg Weissert: Picks up second save
Weissert notched a save against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits in one inning.
Primary closer Aroldis Chapman had pitched five of the previous seven days, so Red Sox manager Alex Cora held him out. That led to Weissert -- who picked up his first save of the season Tuesday -- getting his second ninth-inning opportunity of the week. The save didn't come easily, as the right-hander allowed a run before the potential tying run got to second base with two outs. However, he was able to retire Austin Wells on a flyout to end the game. There probably won't be many weeks in which Weissert gets multiple save chances, but he appears to be a trusted option on occasions when Chapman is unavailable, especially while top setup man Justin Slaten remains on the IL with a shoulder injury.

Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE
Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Blows save Saturday
Clase (4-1) allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss and a blown save Saturday versus the Mariners.
Clase's seven-inning scoreless streak was snapped in this outing. He didn't have his control, throwing just 11 of 20 pitches for strikes, though two of the walks were intentional. The tying run also scored on a wild pitch before Jorge Polanco delivered a walk-off single. Clase hadn't walked a batter since May 17 in Cincinnati. He's now at a 3.94 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB while converting 14 of 17 save chances over 29.2 innings this season. He's been hit pretty hard by regression after being nearly untouchable in 2025, but for now, it doesn't look like Clase is at risk of losing the closing job for Cleveland.

Felix Bautista RP | BAL
Orioles' Felix Bautista: Nabs 14th save
Bautista picked up the save, striking out one and walking one, during Saturday's 6-5 win over the Angels.
The 3.04 ERA suggests that Bautista hasn't necessarily been his old dominant self, but the 29-year-old has still converted 14 of his 15 save opportunities. He's also gotten stronger as the season has gone on in his first year back from Tommy John surgery. Since May 26, the right-hander has pitched eight innings and allowed just one run while and striking out 14 batters,

Robert Suarez RP | ATL
Padres' Robert Suarez: Crumbles in non-save situation
Suarez (1-2) allowed five runs on five hits and struck out one over one-third of an inning to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.
Suarez was called upon to protect a four-run lead in the ninth inning, but he couldn't get the job done. He gave up three straight singles, then struck out Corbin Carroll before giving up an RBI single to Ketel Marte and a game-tying three-run triple to Geraldo Perdomo. Adrian Morejon allowed an inherited runner to score, and that was charged to Suarez, sending him to his first loss since his other five-run implosion of the year back on May 12 versus the Angels. Those account for two of the four appearances in which Suarez has been scored on this season. This outing inflated his ERA from 1.78 to 3.23. but he still has a sparkling 0.88 WHIP and 33:8 K:BB across 30.2 innings. He also has 21 saves in 23 chances, and as long as this kind of performance doesn't become more regular, Suarez's status as the Padres' closer is safe.

Ryan Bergert P | KC
Padres' Ryan Bergert: Strikes out eight Saturday
Bergert allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out eight over five innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Bergert allowed a three-run home run to Eugenio Suarez in the fourth inning, but it was an otherwise steady start for the 25-year-old right-hander. Bergert threw 54 of 90 pitches for strikes in this outing, and he's completed five innings in each of his three starts so far. He's also walked eight batters over 15.1 innings as a starter, so there's still some adjusting for him to do to find more control. Bergert has a 2.33 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB across 19.1 innings through seven appearances overall. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start on the road versus the Dodgers.

Gerson Garabito SP | MIL
Gerson Garabito: Released by Texas
The Rangers released Garabito on Saturday.
Garabito earned a roster spot in the Rangers' Opening Day bullpen, but he was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on two occasions in April and had made each of his last 10 appearances in the minors, posting an 8.53 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in 31.2 innings. Rather than removing Garabito from the 40-man roster by designating Garabito for assignment, the Rangers will allow the right-hander to bypass the waiver process and select his next destination. According to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, Garabito is expected to head overseas and sign with a Korea Baseball Organization club.
