Estevez (1-0) picked up the win in 10 innings Sunday at Detroit, pitching two scoreless innings with a strikeout. He allowed no hits and one walk.

Estevez worked the ninth and 10th innings to pocket his first win with the Royals. Despite a shaky 5.4 BB/9 through 10 innings this season, the veteran right-hander now sports a 0.90 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB. Estevez is also 5-for-6 on save chances and remains cemented as the closer over Lucas Erceg in Kansas City.

Suarez was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Sunday.

Suarez will now be placed on waivers by Atlanta after producing a 2.45 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with five strikeouts over 7.1 innings in three appearances out of the bullpen. If he clears waivers, he'll either be outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett or released by the team, or he could elect free agency. The transaction makes room for Scott Blewett on Atlanta's 40-man roster after the team traded to get Blewett from the Orioles on Sunday.

The Orioles traded Blewett to Atlanta in exchange for cash considerations Sunday.

Blewett was designated for assignment by Baltimore on Saturday, and he'll now look to carve out a role with Atlanta. The right-hander has appeared in four games with the Twins and Orioles in 2025, giving up one run on nine hits and a walk while striking out 11 batters over nine innings. Blewett is out of minor-league options, so he'll report directly to Atlanta's 26-man roster.

Wicks (0-1) allowed two unearned runs on three hits across two innings of work to take the loss Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He struck out two.

Wicks worked the 10th and 11th innings in an eventual 3-2 defeat, and he allowed an unearned run in each inning to ultimately take his first loss of the season. The lefty was just recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, and he's now allowed five runs (three earned) across two appearances. Wicks figures to work as a low-leverage arm for the Cubs until further notice.

Holton (1-2) allowed an unearned run across two innings of relief to take the loss Sunday against the Royals in 10 innings. He struck out three.

Holton didn't allow any hits or walks, but a Bobby Witt sac fly in the bottom of the 10th inning brought home the automatic baserunner and gave Kansas City a 4-3 win. The lefty reliever hasn't allowed an earned run across his last five appearances, during which he's struck out six batters in 5.1 innings. For the season, Holton now has a stellar 1.54 ERA as he continues to serve as a reliable bullpen option for the Tigers despite the losing record.

Clase (3-0) blew the save but collected the win Sunday against the Pirates in a game that went 10 innings. He allowed three runs on four hits and one walk with no strikeouts over an inning.

Entering on a streak of three consecutive scoreless outings and pitching on the third straight day, Clase unraveled in this appearance and picked up his second blown save. This game marked the Cleveland closer's second time allowing four hits in 2025 after going all of the 2024 regular season without one such instance. Clase's confounding start to the season continues, as he's now pitched to an abysmal 7.84 ERA, 2.23 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB across 10.1 innings.

Cantillo earned the save in Sunday's 5-4 win at Pittsburgh, pitching a scoreless inning while allowing no hits and one walk. He had no strikeouts.

After Emmanuel Clase blew the save in the ninth inning, Cantillo locked up the win with his first career save in the extra frame. The 25-year-old southpaw has shined in a bullpen role, pitching to a 1.59 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB across 11.1 innings. If Cantillo keeps pitching well, he could see more chances in high-leverage situations like Sunday.

Wynne picked up the save in Sunday's 24-2 win over Baltimore, allowing one run on three hits and one walk over three innings. He struck out three.

The 32-year-old right-hander was called up Sunday as Carson Spiers (shoulder) was placed on the injured list and secured a save in his season debut. Wynne had pitched to a 3.06 ERA across 17.2 innings at Triple-A before his call-up. He is not expected to be serve a significant role in the Cincinnati bullpen going forward.

Suter took a no-decision Sunday at Baltimore. He struck out one over three scoreless innings while yielding three hits and no walks.

The veteran southpaw was called upon to sub in for Carson Spiers (shoulder), who hit the injured list before this game. Suter was solid, generating six whiffs out of his 63 total pitches. With this effort, the 35-year-old now sports a 1.86 ERA and 0.83 WHIP across 9.2 innings. Suter probably will not make another start, as Nick Lodolo (personal) should return soon to fill the empty rotation spot.

Matz's turn through the rotation will be skipped for the upcoming series against Atlanta, which begins Monday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

The left-hander made his first start of the season last Wednesday and was expected to operate as St. Louis' No. 6 starter going forward, but the club will temporarily move him back to the bullpen due to Thursday's team off day. Matz is expected to re-enter the rotation next weekend versus Milwaukee, and he's likely to get at least a couple turns since the Cardinals have a stretch of 13 straight games from April 25 to May 7.
