The Mariners outrighted Lawrence to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Lawrence has the ability to decline the outright assignment and become a free agent, but it's not clear what his plans are. The righty swingman holds a 4.08 ERA and 7:1 K:BB over 17.2 innings between the Mariners and Blue Jays in 2025.

Peralta earned a hold against Milwaukee on Sunday, retiring the only batter he faced on one pitch.

Peralta entered in the bottom of the seventh inning with San Diego up 1-0 and with runners on first and second base. The southpaw threw a 94 mph sinker to Brice Turang, who lined out to shortstop to end the frame. Peralta thus notched his first hold since April 16 against the Cubs. He has a mediocre 3.81 ERA and has struggled with his control this season, issuing 14 walks over 28.1 innings, but take away a six-run blowup against the Yankees in early May and Peralta would have a 1.95 ERA across 27 games.

Triple-A Durham placed Waguespack on its 7-day injured list May 26 due to an unspecified injury.

Waguespack made four appearances (one start) for the Rays in 2024, but he's pitched exclusively out of the Triple-A bullpen this season since being optioned to Durham coming out of spring training. The 31-year-old righty turned in an 0.46 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB in 19.2 innings with Durham before landing on the shelf.

Sborz (shoulder) resumed throwing breaking balls in a May 30 bullpen session, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

On the mend from mid-November surgery on his right shoulder, Sborz has been throwing off a mound for nearly a month now and appears to be close to facing hitters in live batting practice. He'll likely throw live BP on at least a couple occasions before the Rangers send him out on a what will likely be an extended minor-league rehab assignment. Sborz appears unlikely to return from the 60-day injured list until early July at the soonest.

Montas (lat) threw 76 pitches (43 strikes) in a rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

While the results weren't pretty, the pitch count is what matters for Montas as he gets closer to making his Mets debut after suffering a lat injury in mid-February. The right-hander's 30-day rehab assignment won't run out until June 24 and New York doesn't have an immediate need in the rotation, so Montas is likely to remain at Syracuse for a couple more starts in an effort to improve his performance before being activated from the injured list.

Harrison (elbow) is listed as the Giants' probable starter for Tuesday's game against the Rockies in Colorado.

Harrison's previous start last Wednesday against the Padres was cut short after he was struck on the left elbow by a comebacker midway through the fifth inning, but he escaped the incident with nothing more than a bruise. The southpaw was able to complete his between-starts bullpen session over the weekend and looks set to pitch Tuesday with no restrictions. However, Harrison -- who owns a 4.73 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB in 13.1 innings over his previous three starts -- won't make for a comfortable streaming option in a road start at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

The Reds optioned La Sorsa to Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

La Sorsa was added as a 27th man Saturday, when the Reds and Diamondbacks completed a suspended game along with playing their regularly scheduled contest. The lefty reliever pitched one inning in the latter game, managing a scoreless frame despite two walks.

The Twins optioned Adams to Triple-A St. Paul on Monday.

The corresponding move will come Tuesday, when Simeon Woods Richardson is expected to be recalled from Triple-A to start against the Rangers. Adams was called up over the weekend and did not make an appearance out of the Minnesota bullpen.

Uceta (5-1) didn't allow a baserunner across two scoreless innings with three strikeouts to earn the win Sunday against the Marlins.

Uceta struggled in his appearance Friday, allowing two earned runs on three hits while recording just one out. However, he bounced back Sunday and generated an impressive six swinging strikes on only 25 total pitches while also picking up his fifth win of the season. Uceta has a 4.88 ERA on the campaign, but he has turned in a scoreless effort in seven of his last eight appearances.

Ashcraft (1-0) allowed one hit and two walks with no strikeouts across 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday against the Phillies.

This marked Ashcraft's fourth appearance in the majors and came in a high-leverage spot. He relieved Paul Skenes in the eighth inning of a 1-1 game, and he remained in for the ninth after the Pirates took the lead. One of the walks was intentional, but this still wasn't one of Ashcraft's more dominant appearances, as he failed to generate a swinging strike and also allowed some hard contact. Despite that, he managed to earn the first win of his big-league career.
