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.

The Rockies designated Justice for assignment Sunday.

The left-hander has been at Triple-A Albuquerque for the first few weeks of the season, but he's lost his place on the 40-man roster after giving up six earned runs with a 6:9 K:BB in his first five outings. Justice could remain with the Isotopes if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

The Rockies selected Agnos' contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

The right-hander was unable to secure a spot on Colorado's Opening Day roster but will get his first taste of the majors as Victor Vodnik (shoulder) heads to the injured list. Agnos posted a 1.38 ERA and 63:11 K:BB across 52.1 innings between the High-A and Double-A levels last year, and he's continued to pitch well at Triple-A early in 2025. He's recorded 46 saves during his minor-league career but will likely need to work his way into a high-leverage role for the Rockies.

The Rockies placed Vodnik on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to April 17, due to right shoulder inflammation.

The right-hander may have begun experiencing the inflammation following his last appearance Wednesday against the Dodgers, during which he struck out three and walked two in a scoreless inning. Vodnik and Seth Halvorsen have a save apiece for the Rockies this year, and the latter could see more chances while Vodnik is sidelined. Zach Agnos was added to the big-league roster in a corresponding move but is likely to fill a low-leverage role in his first stint in the majors.

Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that an MRI on Treinen's forearm showed a low-grade sprain, and the right-hander will begin a conservative rehab program, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

The 36-year-old landed on the injured list Saturday with a concerning diagnosis of forearm tightness, but the MRI indicates he's not dealing with a serious injury. Treinen will be eligible to return from the injured list in early May, though he could be sidelined a bit longer depending on the specifics of his rehab program. Tanner Scott should continue to operate as the Dodgers' main closer, with Kirby Yates and Evan Phillips potentially seeing some save chances while primarily working as setup men.

The Rockies recalled Hill from Triple-A Albuquerque to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

The right-hander was unable to earn a spot on Colorado's Opening Day roster. but he'll join the big club for the twin bill and provide some bullpen depth. Hill has struck out 15 batters over 7.2 innings for Albuquerque this year, but he allowed four runs without recording an out in his last outing to inflate his ERA to 5.87.

The Mariners designated Lawrence for assignment Sunday, Tim Booth of the Seattle Times reports.

Lawrence was designated for assignment Monday but cleared waivers and rejoined the organization Wednesday before being recalled to the big club Friday. He pitched in back-to-back contests Friday and Saturday, allowing an unearned run over two hitless innings. His removal from the roster again Sunday corresponds with fellow hurler Sauryn Lao getting his first major-league call-up.

The Mariners called up Lao from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

Lao has started all three games in which he has pitched in the minors this season, but he's tossed only three frames in each of those appearances and is likely to work in the bullpen while up with Seattle. The right-hander has been effective with Tacoma, posting a 2.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 7:1 K:BB over nine innings. To make room for Lao on the 40-man roster, the Mariners are designating Casey Lawrence for assignment, per Tim Booth of the Seattle Times.

The Blue Jays placed Sandlin on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right lat strain.

This is a significant blow to Toronto's bullpen, as Sandlin has been a key member of the unit this season with a 2.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over eight innings while notching a save and two holds. It's not yet clear if he'll need to miss more than the minimum, but to make up for his absence, fellow righty relievers Paxton Schultz and Dillon Tate were called up from the minors while Jacob Barnes was designated for assignment.
