Shaw (6-7) allowed one run on one hit and one walk through 1.1 innings, taking the loss in Saturday's 4-3 defeat to the Red Sox.

Shaw worked a snappy eighth inning before conceding a base hit to Travis Shaw (unrelated), who would eventually come around to score the winning run for Boston. While this outing does break the right-hander's streak of four straight scoreless appearances, there's no sign that Cleveland will be removing high-leverage duty from his plate anytime soon.

Morgan allowed three hits and four walks with seven strikeouts through 5.2 shutout innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

After getting pulled just three innings into his last start Aug. 29 against Boston, Morgan managed to go much deeper into the game this time around. While the four walks were a career high, the 25-year-old managed to keep a potent Boston lineup off the board and deserved a better fate in terms of the decision. His next chance likely comes Friday against the Brewers.

Chapman (5-4) took the loss Saturday, giving up one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning as the Yankees fell 4-3 to the Orioles. He struck out three.

The veteran closer struck out Ryan Mountcastle to begin the ninth but watched him take first on a wild pitch, and Chapman then loaded the bases on a single and a walk to set up an eventual game-winning sacrifice fly by Pedro Severino. It's his first loss since July 4, and since the All-Star break Chapman has a 2.20 ERA and 27:11 K:BB through 16.1 innings while converting all nine of his save chances.

Hartlieb was claimed off waivers by the Red Sox on Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Hartlieb was designated for assignment by the Mets on Thursday, but he'll join Boston's 40-man roster. The right-hander had been pitching at the Triple-A level before he was DFA'd, and the Red Sox will have to make an additional roster move if they intend to bring him up to the majors.

Howard (undisclosed) is back with the team Saturday and should be activated to start sometime during the Rangers' current road trip, which runs through Sept. 12, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Howard hit the COVID-19 injured list in late August. He tossed two innings in a rehab outing Thursday, allowing one run on three hits while striking out three batters. It remains unclear exactly when he's expected to return.

Mills was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Mills' latest stint in the majors lasted one week. He made just a single appearance, allowing a run on two hits in one inning of work, though that actually lowered his ERA and WHIP to 9.95 and 2.05, respectively.

Misiewicz (forearm) was activated off the injured list Saturday.

Misiewicz won't wind up missing more than the minimum 10 days while battling a strained left forearm. He's been a useful part of the Mariners' bullpen lately, allowing an earned run in just two of his last 15 appearances.

Carlton was called up by the Tigers for the first time Saturday.

Carlton doesn't come with much prospect pedigree, as he was selected 965th overall in the 2017 draft and has pitched almost exclusively in relief in the minors. He's looked good in 49 innings for Triple-A Toledo this season, riding a 25.0 percent strikeout rate and 5.2 percent walk rate to a 3.12 ERA.

Snead was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

Snead was only on the big-league roster for a single day and did not make an appearance. The move clears a spot for the Blue Jays to add recent waiver claim Jake Lamb to the active roster.

Santana (2-4) allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out one across 1.1 innings, taking the loss to the Angels on Friday.

Santana allowed three hits in the sixth inning to allow the Angels to take the lead. It was his second relief loss in his last four appearances. The 25-year-old has a 5.44 ERA and 1.65 WHIP with 35 strikeouts in 43 innings this season.
