The Dodgers recalled Davis from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Davis will join the Los Angeles bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Luis Garcia (adductor), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. The 28-year-old righty has made three relief appearances for the Dodgers but has otherwise spent the entire 2025 campaign at Oklahoma City, where he's turned in a 5.75 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 26:11 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

The Dodgers placed Garcia on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right adductor strain.

According to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register, Garcia sustained the injury during the Dodgers' series against the Guardians earlier in the week, which explains why the right-hander went unused in wins Friday and Saturday over the Yankees. Los Angeles recalled right-hander Noah Davis from Triple-A Oklahoma City to replace Garcia in the bullpen.

Baker earned the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the White Sox, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

With both Felix Bautista and Seranthony Dominguez seemingly unavailable, Baker was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning Sunday. The right-hander made quick work of the White Sox, needing just 13 pitches to pick up his first save this season. The 30-year-old Baker has been solid in a setup role this year, posting a 2.77 ERA with a 0.92 WHIP and 33 strikeouts across 26 innings.

Chapman earned the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over Atlanta, logging a strikeout and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

Chapman has allowed just one run while striking out 10 in his last eight innings, and he improved to 9-for-10 in save chances this season. Overall, the 37-year-old southpaw sports a 1.88 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 24 innings this year.

The Diamondbacks optioned McGough to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

McGough will give up his spot in the bullpen to righty Cristian Mena, who was recalled from Reno in a corresponding move. During his two-week run with Arizona, McGough made six appearances and gave up five earned runs on five hits and five walks over five innings.

The Diamondbacks recalled Mena from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

The right-hander was demoted after firing 3.2 scoreless relief innings May 9 in his 2025 MLB debut, and he'll rejoin Arizona ahead of Sunday's series finale versus Washington. Mena is one of Arizona's top prospects and has a 4.84 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 52:16 K:BB over 44.2 innings while working as a starter at Reno, but he's pegged for a relief role while up in the majors.

The Rangers selected Heuer's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Heuer will receive his first look in the big leagues since 2021 after posting a 3.27 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 25:11 K:BB across 22 innings with Round Rock. The right-hander will provide the Rangers with some bullpen depth while Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) heads to the injured list.

The Phillies recalled Johnson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Johnson opened the season as a member of Lehigh Valley's rotation but transitioned into a bullpen role in late April. He's had mixed results as a reliever, striking out 20 batters over 14.2 innings but also issuing 10 walks and posting a 5.52 ERA and 1.84 WHIP. Johnson is likely to be deployed in lower-leverage spots while he's up with the Phillies.

The Blue Jays reinstated Swanson (forearm) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

The right-hander has been sidelined for the first couple months of the season due to carpal tunnel syndrome in his right forearm, but he's ready to rejoin the Blue Jays after a six-outing rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo. Swanson had a 5.03 ERA across 45 appearances last season, but he recorded four saves and 29 holds with a 2.97 ERA during the regular season in 2023 and could return to a high-leverage role if he can regain that form.

Graceffo could be used in a multi-inning relief role at Triple-A Memphis, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

All four of Graceffo's appearances this season at Memphis have been as a starting pitcher, but all nine outings in the majors have come in relief. While the team hasn't committed to a permanent move to the bullpen for Graceffo, it's the role it seems like he'll work in for now. The 25-year-old has posted a 7.47 ERA and 13:4 K:BB over 15.2 frames with the big club this season.
