Chayce McDermott RP | LAD
Dodgers' Chayce McDermott: With Dodgers on taxi squad
McDermott is with the Dodgers on Saturday as a member of the team's taxi squad, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
McDermott was acquired by the Dodgers from the Orioles in mid-April, and the right-hander sports a 4.32 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB across 8.1 innings with Triple-A Oklahoma City. He may be added to the 26-man roster for Sunday's series finale against the Angels depending on how much the Dodgers utilize the bullpen in Saturday's game.

Jose Trevino C | CIN
Reds' Jose Trevino: Exits game with hamstring injury
Trevino was removed from Saturday's game against the Guardians due to a left hamstring injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Trevino went 0-for-1 before being replaced by Tyler Stephenson in the sixth inning. It's unclear when Trevino sustained the injury, but the Reds should have an update on the veteran catcher's status once he undergoes more tests on his hamstring.

Blake Snell SP | LAD
Dodgers' Blake Snell: Scheduled for surgery Tuesday
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Snell will undergo surgery Tuesday to remove loose bodies in his left elbow, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Roberts relayed that he isn't sure if Snell will have the same type of surgery as Tigers ace Tarik Skubal (elbow), which carries a 4-to-6-week recovery timeline. That would shelve Snell until at least early July, but he would be looking at an even longer absence if the procedure is more intensive. Regardless, the Dodgers are optimistic that the southpaw will be cleared to return before the end of the season.

Heliot Ramos LF | SF
Giants' Heliot Ramos: Out for at least two weeks
Giants manager Tony Vitello told reporters Saturday that Ramos will be shelved for at least two weeks due to a right quad strain, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Ramos was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, and given the updated timeline provided by Vitello, Ramos will likely be out of action until at least early June. Drew Gilbert, Will Brennan and Casey Schmitt will all be in the mix for reps in left field for as long as Ramos is sidelined.

Antonio Senzatela RP | COL
Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Notches third save
Senzatela gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks. He struck out one.
While it was his third save of the year in three chances, it was the veteran right-hander's first in which he didn't need to pitch more than one inning. Senzatela's stuff is playing up in impressive fashion in short relief -- his four-seam fastball topped out at 98.8 mph Saturday -- and while he'd made 145 career starts for the Rockies over nine MLB seasons coming into 2026, he may have found a new home as a high-leverage arm. With Victor Vodnik having been scored upon in five of his last eight appearances, Senzatela's making a compelling case to take over as Colorado's closer. Through 28.1 innings this season, all in relief, he's produced a 1.27 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB.

Tomoyuki Sugano SP | COL
Rockies' Tomoyuki Sugano: Collects fourth win
Sugano (4-3) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Diamondbacks, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out one.
The 36-year-old right-hander got staked to a 3-1 lead in the first two innings, and Sugano did just enough to make it hold up before being lifted after 88 pitches (54 strikes). It was a needed bounce-back performance after Sugano gave up nine runs in 10.1 innings over his prior two starts, but he isn't fooling anyone right now -- he generated only three swinging strikes Saturday and has struck out two batters or fewer in four straight trips to the mound. He'll take a 4.02 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 25:14 K:BB through 47 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in a rematch with Arizona.

Eduardo Rodriguez SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Tagged with first loss
Rodriguez (4-1) took the loss Saturday, giving up three runs on nine hits over 5.1 innings as the Diamondbacks fell 4-2 to the Rockies. He struck out six without walking a batter.
The veteran southpaw didn't pitch poorly, especially considering the game was at Coors Field, but Colorado ambushed Rodriguez for three runs in the first two frames and Arizona was never able to climb out of that hole. Rodriguez was lifted after 91 pitches (68 strikes), ending his run of quality starts at two. He'll take a 2.53 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 39:22 K:BB through 53.1 innings into his next outing, which is set to come next week in a home rematch with the Rockies.

Tristan Beck RP | SF
Giants' Tristan Beck: Dispatched to Sacramento
The Giants optioned Beck to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
Beck will end up without a spot in the Giants' bullpen following the return of Erik Miller (back) from the injured list Saturday. Beck pitched three shutout innings across his two appearances with the big club, though he may need to improve upon his 5.40 ERA in Triple-A before getting another opportunity with San Francisco.

George Soriano RP | STL
Cardinals' George Soriano: Picks up second save
Soriano gave up a run on two hits in the ninth inning Saturday to record his second save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Royals.
With Riley O'Brien having pitched Thursday and Friday and the Cardinals holding a fairly comfortable three-run lead, Soriano got the call to close things out but served up a solo shot to Jac Caglianone and a single to Isaac Collins to make things interesting. Soriano has worked his way into a high-leverage role in his first season with St. Louis, recording eight holds in addition to his two saves with a 3.66 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB over 19.2 innings.

Erik Miller RP | SF
Giants' Erik Miller: Activated from IL
The Giants reinstated Miller (back) from the injured list Saturday.
Miller will return to the Giants' bullpen after making just two rehab appearances in the minors, during which he gave up two hits and struck out three batters over two innings. The 28-year-old southpaw owns a 3.18 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 11.1 innings in the big leagues this year and is likely to compete with Caleb Kilian for saves immediately after returning from the IL. Tristan Beck was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
