Speier allowed two runs on one hit and one walk in one inning during Sunday's 14-6 win over the Cubs. He struck out one.

It's the most runs Speier has given up since April 29, and Sunday marked just the second time this year that he surrendered greater than one. The 30-year-old southpaw has endured a rough June so far, working to a 6.00 ERA through six innings this month, but he'll nonetheless remain an important weapon out of Seattle's bullpen as its lone left-hander. Speier owns a strong 2.86 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 40:7 K:BB across 28.1 innings in 2025.

The Red Sox promoted Tolle from High-A Greenville to Double-A Portland on Sunday, Josh Ball of Beyond the Monster reports.

The 22-year-old lefty will move up to Double-A after producing a 3.62 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 79 strikeouts over 49.2 innings in 11 appearances (10 starts) with Greenville this season. The No. 50 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Tolle is less than a year into his professional career, but he's already established himself as one of Boston's top pitching propects.

Baker (3-2) was charged with the loss and a blown save in Sunday's 4-2 defeat to the Yankees, giving up three runs (two earned) on three hits and one walk with no strikeouts in 0.2 innings.

It was the third blown save of the year by Baker, who matched his season high in both runs and hits allowed. The 30-year-old right-hander has otherwise been a reliable high-leverage arm for the Orioles in 2025, as he's posted a 2.89 ERA in June and a 2.88 ERA for the campaign to go with a 0.99 WHIP and 42:8 K:BB across 34.1 innings overall.

Solano went 3-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Sunday's win against the Cubs.

Solano ripped a solo shot in the fourth inning and a two-run homer in the seventh. He capped off his day with a two-run single during Seattle's five-run eighth inning. Solano posted three consecutive three-hit games during the weekend series against the Cubs, boosting his season OPS from .490 to .666 in the process. Solano did not homer in any of his first 38 games this season but has gone deep three times in the last six contests.

Canzone went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Canzone knocked solo shots in the second and sixth innings as part of Seattle's 14-run outburst. He's gone deep three times in 10 games since being promoted from Triple-A Tacoma earlier this month. The 27-year-old is slashing .286/.342/.600 through 38 MLB plate appearances.

Bradfield went 2-for-3 with two walks, three runs and an RBI on Sunday in Double-A Chesapeake's 12-4 win over Erie before he was removed in the top of the eighth inning due to right hamstring tightness, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Bradfield previously spent more than five weeks on Chesapeake's 7-day injured list earlier this season due to a left hamstring strain, but it's an injury to his other leg that resulted in his early exit Sunday. The Orioles are viewing Bradfield as day-to-day until he undergoes further testing, but the 23-year-old outfielder looks like he could be in danger of another IL stint. Bradfield is slashing .240/.378/.356 with one home run and 13 stolen bases in 33 games for Chesapeake this season.

Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, three runs scored and two walks in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Raleigh belted a two-run shot in the first inning Sunday for his 31st long ball of the year. It was his third straight game with a home run, and he has five over his last five games. The superstar catcher has produced three straight 30-homer seasons and is quickly approaching his career best of 34 set last season. Raleigh is slashing .276/.383/.659 with 45 extra-base hits and 66 RBIs through 75 appearances.

Burdi (foot) hasn't pitched for Triple-A Worcester since making his most recent rehab appearance June 15.

Burdi began his assignment June 13, and after tossing a scoreless inning that same day, he then pitched two days later and allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk over 1.1 innings. According to Chris Hatfield of SoxProspects.com, Burdi was removed from the Triple-A roster Wednesday but wasn't activated from the Red Sox's injured list, which could be a sign that he's dealing with a setback that resulted in him being pulled off his assignment. The right-hander has been on the shelf since June 3 due to a right foot contusion.

Gilbert (2-2) allowed four runs on eight hits over five innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the Cubs.

Gilbert gave up one run through four innings before the Cubs scored three in the fifth. All four runs scored against him came via home runs, including two by Seiya Suzuki, but Seattle's 14-run outburst still led to a victory. Gilbert entered Sunday with just four homers allowed through 35.1 innings this season. He's posted a 16:1 K:BB in 10 innings since returning from the injured list and now owns a 60:7 K:BB with a 3.12 ERA across eight appearances. Gilbert generated 18 whiffs on 90 pitches Sunday, including eight with his splitter. His next start is projected to be on the road against Texas.

Hicks (toe) retired two of the six batters he faced and allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk in his rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Worcester.

Sunday's appearance marked Hicks' organizational debut, after the Giants placed him on the 15-day injured list June 3 before trading him to the Red Sox two weeks later. The right-hander didn't look sharp in his return to game action, as he needed 23 pitches (10 strikes) to record two outs and sported a fastball that averaged 95.5 miles per hour, about two ticks below his season average with the Giants. Boston manager Alex Cora previously said that Hicks was on track to return from the IL next weekend, though the 28-year-old's activation could be delayed if he's unable to show much improvement in his next rehab appearance.
