Holmes (7-4) earned the win over Boston on Thursday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over two innings.

Though it wasn't a save situation, Holmes' outing Thursday was a positive step after he allowed a run in four of his previous five appearances. The right-hander preserved a 4-4 tie by keeping Boston off the scoreboard in the ninth inning and worked around the automatic runner in the 10th to again prevent a run. He was credited with the win after the Yankees walked it off in the bottom of the frame. Holmes isn't guaranteed to get all of New York's save chances moving forward with manager Aaron Boone recently indicating he may shift to a committee approach, though Holmes figures to still be in the mix in that scenario.

Martin was placed on the bereavement list Friday.

Players are allowed to spend between three and seven days on the bereavement list, so Martin will be unavailable for the Rangers' weekend series against the Guardians. Joe Barlow (finger) was reinstated from the injured list to take Martin's place in the bullpen.

Barlow (finger) was activated from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Barlow recorded two strikeouts during his lone rehab appearance in Triple-A Round Rock. He hasn't made a big-league appearance since Aug. 17, which itself came after another month-long stay on the IL, with both absences due to blister issues. Brett Martin was placed on the bereavement list to free up a spot on the roster for Barlow.

White was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Friday's start against the Rays.

White made a start at Buffalo on Sunday and allowed eight runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out five in five innings. In spite of his lackluster results, he'll rejoin the major-league club and should have a chance to remain in the rotation, especially if he performs well against the Rays.

Yarbrough (oblique) was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

As expected, Yarbrough was placed on the IL after he suffered a right oblique strain in Thursday's win over the Blue Jays. The left-hander will now miss the remainder of the regular season but will have a shot at returning early in the playoffs. Calvin Faucher was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday to replace Yarbrough on the active roster.

Faucher was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Friday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.

Faucher will join the Rays' big-league roster alongside Cristofer Ogando with Ryan Yarbrough (oblique) moving to the injured list and Dusten Knight being designated for assignment. Faucher's latest stint in the majors came earlier this month when he gave up three earned runs over 4.2 innings out of the bullpen.

Moll (shoulder) will not return in 2022, the Associated Press reports.

The book is therefore closed on a very encouraging campaign for the 30-year-old, who mostly toiled in the minor leagues for eight-plus seasons before finally sticking on the big-league roster in 2021. Moll came into his own this season, producing a 2.91 ERA and 9.6 K/9 with two wins and 16 holds across 53 appearances. Under full team control through 2024, Moll should be healthy well in advance of spring training and slot into a key middle-relief role in 2023.

Oller (ribs) is slated to throw a bullpen session Friday, the Associated Press reports.

Oller began a throwing progression Tuesday, and he's apparently ready to throw off a mound Friday as his next step. Manager Mark Kotsay noted the right-hander will be "on track to be ready to go if everything goes well", seemingly giving Oller, who's already eligible for activation from the IL, a chance to return before the end of the regular season.

Snead (1-1) took the loss against the Mariners on Thursday, allowing two earned runs on two hits, a walk and a wild pitch over two-thirds of an inning.

His messy line during a brief 17-pitch outing came after the southpaw inherited a one-on, no-out situation from starter Adrian Martinez. Snead opened September with three straight scoreless appearances, but he's allowed six earned runs on 10 hits across 4.1 innings over his subsequent five trips to the mound.

Bautista picked up the save in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Astros, striking out the only batter he faced.

Bautista has converted 13 straight save opportunities, recording a 1.99 ERA over 22.2 innings in 20 outings during that span. During his last three appearances prior to Thursday's outing, however, the righty had allowed two runs and six baserunners over four innings.
