The Orioles recalled Wolfram from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

The left-hander was up with Baltimore for Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets and is back with the club for the final game of the first half Sunday. Wolfram has appeared in three games for the Orioles this season and has given up two earned runs with a 5:2 K:BB over 3.1 innings.

Boyle struck out one batter and allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks over four innings out of the bullpen in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.

Boyle was once again used in tandem with Drew Rasmussen, who covered the first two innings. The Rays have made it clear that they intend to limit Rasmussen to around 150 innings this season since he's just two years removed from undergoing the third major elbow operation of his career, and Boyle is expected to piggyback him for at least a few more turns through the rotation. While his results Friday were unremarkable, Boyle has delivered excellent ratios overall between his stops in the majors and at Durham this season, and he'll have improved odds of earning wins while the Rays deploy him in bulk relief. Tampa Bay is listing Rasmussen as its starter for its fifth game of the second half July 22 versus the White Sox, so Boyle's next appearance will presumably come that same day.

Atlanta optioned Cox to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Cox's latest stint with the big club lasted just under two weeks. He made four relief appearances following his July 2 call-up from Gwinnett, giving up one earned run on four hits and one walk over five innings. Cox will cede his spot on the active roster to right-hander Davis Daniel, who was recalled from Triple-A to either start or pitch in bulk relief Sunday in St. Louis.

Atlanta recalled Daniel from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

Daniel was recently placed on Gwinnett's temporary inactive list earlier this week for the birth of his child, but he's ready to return to action and will end up joining the big club for the second time this season, and the right-hander will start Sunday in St. Louis. Atlanta has a pair of open spots in its rotation, so with a respectable showing, Daniel could begin the second half in a starting role. Over 14 appearances (13 starts) at Gwinnett this season, Daniel owns a 3.27 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 59:31 K:BB across 71.2 innings.

Vesia notched a hold against the Giants on Saturday by retiring both batters he faced in the eighth inning.

Vesia entered the contest in a huge spot, inheriting a bases-loaded, one-out situation with the Dodgers holding a 2-0 lead. The lefty was able to keep Los Angeles ahead, allowing a Rafael Devers sacrifice fly before getting Matt Chapman to ground into a fielder's choice. Vesia has been outstanding across the past six weeks, posting a 1.23 ERA, 0.48 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB over 14.2 frames while recording six holds and two saves across 18 appearances. He's been one of Los Angeles' top high-leverage arms throughout the campaign, and his 17 holds have already a established a new career high.

Gaddis experienced a cramp during Friday's outing but stayed in the game, MLB.com reports.

Gaddis was checked out by the staff and remained in the game, picking up a hold along the way. He said there was some soreness Saturday but indicated he was feeling better. With the All-Star break coming up, Gaddis looks like he'll be ready to go when the schedule resumes.

Morillo allowed four runs on five hits while striking out one over one inning in Saturday's 10-5 loss to the Angels.

Morillo, who entered the game to begin the eighth inning with a 0.82 ERA over his previous 14 outings, let a one-run deficit balloon to five by the time he was done. In the wake of several bullpen injuries, the rookie's name was recently floated for high-leverage situations, but he was not up to challenge Saturday. Although walks didn't play a role in Saturday's performance, control has been a challenge for Morillo, who owns a 5.3 BB/9.

Vodnik (3-3) blew the save and took the loss in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Cincinnati. He allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk without recording an out.

The right-hander allowed a game-tying triple to Will Benson before a fielding error by Orlando Arcia on a Noelvi Marte groundball ended the game. It marked Vodnik's fourth blown save and third loss of the season. While he holds a 2.63 ERA over 27.1 innings in 2025, a 1.43 WHIP and 4.25 FIP point to underlying concerns.

Junk (4-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing five hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory over the Orioles. He struck out two.

Junk wasn't dominant against the Orioles, tallying just two strikeouts, but he effectively managed contact to deliver seven scoreless innings and earn his fourth win of the season. The right-hander now owns a 2.68 ERA and 0.99 WHIP across 50.1 innings in 10 appearances (five starts). While his limited track record at the major-league level warrants some caution, Junk appears to be finding his stride in MLB at age 29.

Iglesias earned a save against the Cardinals on Saturday, striking out one batter over one perfect inning.

Iglesias was tasked with preserving a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth inning, and he did so with ease, retiring all three batters he faced on 11 pitches. After a rough first two-plus months of the campaign -- Iglesias held a 6.75 ERA as recently as June 5 -- the veteran reliever has rebounded with 14 straight scoreless outings, during which he's posted a 17:1 K:BB across 12.2 frames. At one point it seemed Atlanta could be moving on from Iglesias at closer, but the right-hander has a save each of the past two days and appears to be back in control of the ninth-inning role.
