  • Blewett owns a 2-0 record and a 3.91 ERA in 15 relief appearances across stints with Minnesota, Atlanta and Baltimore this year.
  • Outfielder Ramón Laureano was reinstated from the 10-day injured list after spraining his ankle in late May.
  • Catcher Gary Sánchez, infielder Jordan Westburg, and outfielders Tyler O’Neill and Cedric Mullins are all on minor league rehab assignments and could return soon.
