Prielipp did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks over six innings against the Rockies. He struck out 10.

Prielipp brought his best swing-and-miss stuff, generating 20 whiffs while recording a season-high 10 strikeouts. In addition, Sunday marked the southpaw's first outing without issuing a walk since his debut April 22, though he did hit two batters. The 25-year-old has cooled off since a blazing start to his big-league career, but his performance against the Rockies was an encouraging step in the right direction. Overall, Prielipp owns a 2-5 record with a 4.96 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 65:23 K:BB across 61.2 innings (12 starts). He'll look to build on it his next time out, tentatively scheduled for Saturday on the road against the Yankees.

Triple-A Durham placed Vernon (elbow) on its full-season injured list Friday.

The Rays initially shut Vernon down due to right elbow soreness back during spring training. The right-hander then went on a minor-league rehab assignment in May, making five appearances as a reliever, before going back on the shelf for good. His 2026 season ends with a 1.42 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB across 6.1 innings in the Florida Complex League and for High-A Bowling Green.

The Mariners acquired Kennedy from the Giants on Sunday in exchange for cash considerations.

San Francisco designated Kennedy for assignment earlier in the day, but the Giants didn't have to wait long to find a trade partner. The 27-year-old Kennedy played sparingly during his four-week stint in the majors with San Francisco, going 0-for-7 with a walk and three strikeouts over seven contests. Kennedy has no minor-league options remaining, so the Mariners will need to open up a spot for him on the 26-man active roster. He'll serve as a depth piece in the infield and outfield and could make occasional starts against left-handed pitching.

Williamson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Williamson took Diamondbacks right-hander Merrill Kelly yard in the sixth inning Sunday. The 25-year-old has seen sporadic playing time across Tampa Bay's infield in 2026, slashing an uninspiring .236/.307/.328 with two homers, 20 RBI, five stolen bases and 24 runs scored over 193 plate appearances in a part-time role.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Nationals.

Alonso socked his eighth homer of June on Sunday, extending his on-base streak to nine games in the process. The All-Star first baseman is putting together another strong season at the dish during his debut year with the Orioles, slashing .252/.342/.478 with 19 big flies, 15 doubles and 58 RBI over 368 plate appearances.

Paredes went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 win over Detroit.

Paredes has now logged at least one hit in 12 of his last 13 games, racking up 12 RBI during that stretch. Now with five three-hit attacks on the campaign, the 27-year-old infielder is slashing a respectable .256/.350/.428 with 11 homers, 16 doubles and 45 RBI across 331 plate appearances.

Caminero went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

With Sunday's solo shot, the surging Caminero became the 10th player in club history to homer in at least four straight games and the youngest Ray to ever do so, per Adam Berry of MLB.com. Firmly on track for his second consecutive All-Star selection, the slugging third baseman is slashing a robust .292/.384/.548 with 22 long balls, 12 doubles and 49 RBI over 354 plate appearances.

Double-A Frisco placed Lopez on its 7-day injured list May 27 due to an unspecified injury.

Lopez submitted a 7.20 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 42:22 K:BB in 35 innings over eight starts before landing on the shelf. The Rangers added the 24-year-old righty to their 40-man roster over the winter, but he didn't appear especially close to earning his first big-league call-up prior to getting injured.

Vargas went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run, a double, two walks and an additional run scored in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.

After Sam Antonacci drew a leadoff walk in the first inning, Vargas opened the scoring with a 407-foot two-run homer. He later doubled and drew two free passes, reaching base in all four plate appearances. Vargas has now hit safely in six straight games, batting .435 (10-for-23) with three homers during that span. Through 81 games this season, he owns an .866 OPS while slugging his way to 19 home runs, 14 doubles, one triple, 52 RBI, 56 runs scored and 10 stolen bases.

Montgomery (elbow) struck out three over two perfect innings in a rehab start Saturday with Double-A Frisco.

Montgomery was making the second start of his rehab assignment and was supremely efficient, recording his six outs on 20 pitches (15 strikes). Before coming off the 60-day injured list, Montgomery will likely need at least three more starts in the minors to increase his workload and convince the Rangers that he's a viable option for the big-league rotation. The left-hander is working his way back from a hybrid UCL reconstruction surgery, which he underwent last March.
