Garcia pitched three scoreless innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, giving up one hit and striking out two.

Garcia's fourth appearance since shifting to the bullpen in anticipation of a possible September callup was his most impressive to date. He allowed only a harmless single while throwing 22 of 37 pitches for strikes and whiffing two batters. Still, he has surrendered six runs in 7.2 innings since making the transition to a relief role and a promotion to the big club remains up in the air.

Coulombe was signed by the Yankees and assigned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Coulombe was released by Milwaukee on Aug. 29 but didn't take long to return to the Yankees organization, where he has spent the majority of 2019. In 31 minor-league games between Triple-A San Antonio and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, he has posted a 4-2 record, 4.71 ERA and 61:17 K:BB in 36.1 innings. The 29-year-old has pitched in 153 games in the majors across five seasons with the Dodgers and Athletics, compiling a 4.27 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 134:61 K:BB in 143.1 frames.

Norris did not factor into the decision against Kansas City on Tuesday, completing three innings and giving up three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three.

Due to concerns about his workload, Norris was limited to three innings for his fifth straight start. He entered the game having allowed only one run in his last nine innings but was less successful against the Royals, serving up a three-run homer to Jorge Soler in the third frame. The southpaw has given up 25 long balls in 132.1 innings this season while compiling a 4.76 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 114:38 K:BB. He'll likely be on an innings cap again when he makes his next scheduled start in Oakland on Sunday.

Barria threw four innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Tuesday, giving up five runs (four earned) on four hits, striking out five and walking two as the Angels eventually fell 7-5.

Barria's first start back in the rotation after not pitching at all last week didn't go well, as he was knocked around by Oakland before getting chased from the contest after throwing 74 pitches. He hasn't put himself on the fantasy radar this season, posting a 6.27 ERA and 1.44 WHIP over 66 innings.

Hendriks got the save against the Angels on Tuesday, striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning without allowing a baserunner to close out Oakland's 7-5 victory.

Hendriks had given up three earned runs and blown a save in his last two appearances, but he got back in track with a clean effort against the Angels to pick up his 18th save of the season, needing just eight pitches to finish the job. He's blown five saves this season, but Hendriks' overall numbers are still fantastic, as he's sporting an elite 1.74 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 103:19 K:BB across 72.1 innings.

Jurado allowed five runs on seven hits and zero walks over four innings during Tuesday's loss to the Yankees. He had three strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

Edinson Volquez allowed two runs while working as the opener, saving Jurado from being saddled with the loss. Jurado fired four scoreless frames before falling apart during the sixth inning, allowing five hits -- including two homers -- and recording zero outs. The 23-year-old has a 5.40 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 78:34 K:BB through 116.2 innings this season and lines up for a more favorable matchup Sunday at Baltimore.

Rogers allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks while striking out two across 1.1 innings to earn the save Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Rogers surrendered a home run to the first batter he faced, cutting the Twins' lead to one run. From there, he worked around two additional baserunners to earn his 23rd save of the season. Despite the slight stumble, Rogers has been very effective of late, allowing just one earned runs across his last six appearance -- spanning seven innings. For the season, he owns a 2.52 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 79 strikeouts across 60.2 frames.

Colome didn't allow a baserunner and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning to record the save Tuesday against the Indians.

Colome was called upon to protect a one-run lead and did so effectively, recording the last out with a three-pitch strikeout of Mike Freeman to earn his 26th save. He has stumbled a bit of late, surrendering at least one earned run in four of his last nine outings. Still, the White Sox have shown no sign of turning away from him. Colome has been mostly effective this season, posting a 2.42 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 52 innings.

Green will start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Green hasn't worked as an opener in more than two weeks since allowing five runs on four hits in one-third of an inning against the Indians. The 28-year-old has a 3.19 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 65:12 K:BB over 48 innings since returning from his early-season stint on the injured list.

Pruitt will start Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

Pruitt was expected to be utilized as part of the bullpen game during the nightcap of Tuesday's doubleheader, but he didn't pitch and will instead receive the starting nod Thursday. The 30-year-old will look to build on his last start in which he allowed only four hits and had six strikeouts over 5.1 scoreless frames.
