Manaea (5-2) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out three in six scoreless innings, earning the win in Wednesday's 4-0 victory over the Diamondbacks.

The lefty entered an enticing matchup (at home against the Diamondbacks) and didn't disappoint. Manaea labored a bit through the first couple innings, but he made it through six innings on 111 pitches and lowered his ERA to 3.09. He's been superb of late while allowing just two earned runs over 26.2 innings in his last four starts, and he's expected to next pitch Monday against the Angels.

The Royals recalled Hernandez to the big-league roster Wednesday.

The righty has struggled considerably in four relief appearances this season, having allowed multiple runs in three of his four appearances en route to a 8.22 ERA. In his only scoreless outing, Hernandez walked three batters without recording an out. Regardless, he's being called upon once again to provide some added bullpen depth.

Feyereisen recorded his first hold in a win over the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing no hits but issuing three walks over one-third of an inning.

Feyereisen had an extremely labor-intensive sub-one-inning outing, getting only 12 of 26 pitches into the strike zone while creating a heap of trouble that Ryan Thompson was able to subsequently wiggle out of. The 28-year-old is working on a five-appearance scoreless streak and sports an outstanding 1.04 ERA, but his 5.8 BB/9 across 28 innings remains an albatross.

Martin (1-2) allowed one hit and an unearned run across two innings, earning the victory in Wednesday's 4-3, extra-innings win over the Rangers.

The lefty was very efficient, requiring just 16 pitches (14 of which were strikes) to get through the 10th and 11th innings. Martin yielded four runs in an inning Sunday after recording 15 straight scoreless appearances, but he appears to be back on track after that one rough showing.

Green earned the hold against Minnesota on Tuesday, tossing a perfect inning during which he struck out one batter.

Green came on in the eighth inning with New York holding a two-run lead and set the side down in order. It was a nice bounceback outing after the right-hander gave up a season-high four runs in his previous appearance. Green has nine holds, a 3.03 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP through 26 outings as the Yankees' top setup man.

Kowar is scheduled to start Saturday's game in Oakland, Lynn Worthy of The Kansas City Star reports.

The 24-year-old right-hander couldn't make it out of the first inning in his highly anticipated MLB debut Monday, recording just two outs while surrendering four runs on three hits and two walks en route to taking a loss. Ervin Santana performed better in long relief (three earned runs allowed in four innings), but the Royals won't look to make a change to their rotation after Kowar's shaky debut. Kowar will have nowhere to go but up Saturday, though he may need to make notable improvements in his control and command to ensure he receives a third turn through the rotation.

Andriese allowed one run on three hits and struck out five over three innings in Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Astros.

Houston's belligerent lineup chased starter Martin Perez early, so the Red Sox turned to their multi-inning reliever out of the bullpen. This was the sixth time in 19 outings that Andriese has thrown more than two innings. The 31-year-old right-hander has a 4.88 ERA over 27.2 innings.

Crochet (2-2) picked up the win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday, throwing a perfect eighth inning and striking out two in a 6-1 victory.

Crochet was the pitcher of record when the White Sox plated five in the bottom of the eighth to earn the rookie's second win of the season. He hasn't allowed a run in his last 13 innings (12 appearances), striking out 16 but walking nine during that run.

Zimmerman (4-3) recorded the win Tuesday against the Mets after allowing two runs on two hits with seven strikeouts and two walks across five innings.

The 26-year-old wasn't overly efficient as he needed 90 pitches to get through five frames, but he's now given up five runs with a 20:5 K:BB over 15.1 innings across his past three starts. Zimmerman tentatively lines up to make his next turn through the rotation Sunday at Tampa Bay.

Trivino saved Tuesday's 5-2 win against the Diamondbacks, allowing no runs and one hit in the ninth inning.

Called on to protect a three-run lead, Trivino induced a David Peralta flyout after allowing a Pavin Smith infield single with two outs to secure his ninth save of the season. Oakland has employed a two-headed approach at the end of games this season with Trivino and Jake Diekman, though Trivino has recorded the team's last three saves and appears to be manager Bob Melvin's top choice currently.
