Mejia didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 4-3 win over the Orioles after allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out three.

The young right-hander got the hook with a 3-2 lead after 55 pitches (34 strikes), denying him a shot at his first win since moving into the rotation. The outing was Mejia's longest yet, but it's not yet clear whether the team is going to fully stretch him out, and his usefulness in fantasy will remain limited until he begins pitching deeper into games. Mejia has a 4.26 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB through his first 12.2 big-league innings.

Manaea (6-2) allowed one run on nine hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Monday, striking out five and earning a win over the Angels.

Manaea had to escape threats with multiple baserunners in the first, second and fourth innings, but the only run to score against him was a solo shot by Juan Lagares. Despite it not being his most effective outing, the 29-year-old earned his third straight win and has allowed one or fewer runs in each of his last five appearances. He lowered his season ERA to 2.99 alongside a 78:19 K:BB. Manaea is lined up to face the Yankees on the road this weekend.

Jimenez (2-0) earned the win in relief Monday against the Royals after not allowing a run across two-thirds of an inning, striking out one.

Jimenez entered the game in the third inning after Alex Lange left the game with shoulder discomfort. The former recorded the final two outs of the inning with ease, needing just seven pitches to claim his second victory of the campaign. The right-hander now has four straight scoreless outings and seems to be trending in the right direction once again.

Trivino stuck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning Monday, picking up a save against the Angels.

Trivino had no problem rolling through the Angels in the ninth inning, needing just 12 pitches to secure the 8-5 win. He's gone 14.2 straight innings without allowing an earned run dating back to May 5. The 29-year-old owns a 2.25 ERA and is now 11-for-13 in save chances this season.

Foley was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Monday's game against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Foley surrendered one run on two hits in one inning Monday, and he'll head down to the minors after two other Detroit arms suffered injuries in the series opener. The team will likely call up multiple fresh arms Tuesday after deploying nine different pitchers.

Lange will likely require a stint on the 10-day injured list after leaving Monday's game against Kansas City due to shoulder discomfort, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

The Tigers have yet to make the move official, but skipper A.J. Hinch stated after the game that there's a good chance Lange will need a trip to the injured list.

Lange left Monday's game against the Royals due to right shoulder discomfort, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Lange will be considered day-to-day until further notice. He's appeared in three contests since being recalled Thursday, allowing three runs over 2.2 innings.

Lange left Monday's game against the Royals due to an undisclosed injury, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Lange was visited by the team trainer in the fifth inning and ultimately had to leave the contest. Details on the injury have yet to surface.

Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

Ramirez was recalled just a few days earlier, but he'll head back to the minors after failing to make an appearance. Luis Torrens was promoted Monday in a corresponding move.

Fulmer (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

The right-hander hasn't pitched since May 30 due to a strained right shoulder, and he'll rejoin the active roster Monday after a brief trip to the injured list. Fulmer opened the season in the rotation but has pitched well out of the bullpen with a 1.35 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB across 13.1 innings since May 5. The 28-year-old is 4-for-5 in save chances and should reclaim primary closer's duties now that he's healthy, though Jose Cisnero and Gregory Soto also remain in the mix.
