Giles allowed one walk and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Tuesday against the Rangers.

Giles made his first appearance since Aug. 7 but showed little rust, allowing only a walk en route to his 16th save of the season. This outing strengthens the probability that Giles avoids the injured list, as he consistently sat between 96 and 97 mph with his fastball. For the season, he maintains a strong 1.89 ERA and 1.11 WHIP while striking out 62 across 38 innings.

Manaea (shoulder) is expected to require one more rehab start with Triple-A Las Vegas before potentially rejoining the Athletics, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Manaea restarted his rehab assignment Tuesday with Las Vegas and allowed two runs on four hits with 10 strikeouts and two walks over 5.2 innings. The 27-year-old made five rehab appearances in July before a bout of side soreness caused him to shut things down for a couple days. Manaea threw 82 pitches Tuesday so he could be fully stretched out for a starting workload after an additional rehab start.

Devenski is starting Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

Scheduled starter Gerrit Cole was scratched shortly before first pitch for undisclosed reasons, pushing Devenski into the start on short notice. The 28-year-old threw 25 pitches in Sunday's relief appearance, so he should be limited to a couple innings as the Astros are forced into a bullpen game.

Rodriguez was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Rodriguez was recalled from Salt Lake on Monday and returns to the minors after eating up four innings during the 10-2 series-opening loss. The 23-year-old has given up three runs on five hits across 5.2 innings during his first taste of the majors this season.

Chavez was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow impingement, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

It's unclear as to when this injury cropped up, but Chavez has surrendered five runs over his last two outings, so it could explain his recent struggles. David Carpenter has been recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

Stewart was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Stewart picked up the win Monday against the Rangers as the team's primary pitcher, but he'll head back down to Triple-A prior to Tuesday's matchup. Rowdy Tellez was recalled in a corresponding move.

Abreu (shoulder) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Abreu landed on the MiLB injured list near the end of July due to a shoulder issue, but he's since returned to health and will be ready for action with Double-A Trenton moving forward. He owns a 3.81 ERA with 77 strikeouts over 82.2 innings this season with the Thunder.

Mantiply was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Tuesday.

Mantiply was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Monday's doubleheader, and he's since lost his spot on the 40-man roster. He'll head to waivers after surrendering three runs while fanning two over three innings this season in the majors.

Loaisiga (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Two of his three rehab outings were scoreless appearances, with him fanning a total of eight batters in 5.2 innings. He did not log more than three innings in any of his rehab appearances, and figures to occupy a long-relief role down the stretch. Loaisiga could also operate as a primary pitcher if the Yankees deploy an opener again.

Pruitt was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander returns to the minors after two major-league appearances in August in which he recorded an ERA of 1.50 with five strikeouts over six innings pitched. Left-hander Jose Alvarado was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.
