Mantiply cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

Mantiply was designated for assignment earlier this week, but he'll remain with the Yankees after going unclaimed on waivers. The 28-year-old was acquired from the Reds last week and had a 3.72 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 26:3 K:BB over 29 innings at Triple-A prior to having his contract selected.

Gibault was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Friday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Gibaut was acquired by the Rangers from the Rays ahead of the trade deadline and only had to wait a couple weeks before making his way to the majors. The 25-year-old has been limited to 16.2 minor-league innings this season, but in 2018 he posted a 2.09 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 75:21 K:BB at Triple-A.

Palumbo is scheduled to be recalled from Triple-A Nashville to start in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Angels, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Palumbo was sidelined by an ankle issue during the back half of July, but he returned to Nashville's rotation in August and delivered six no-hit innings Thursday. The 24-year-old will look to build on that performance Tuesday after posting an 11.00 ERA and 1.78 WHIP in his first three major-league outings.

Yacabonis cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Yacabonis will remain with the Orioles organization after going unclaimed on waivers and will return to the Triple-A level. In 20.2 innings pitched for Triple-A Norfolk this season, the 27-year-old carries an ERA of 4.35. While the right-hander may not return to the major-league club this season, he could provide a veteran presence in the bullpen going forward given his three seasons with some big-league experience.

Fairbanks was promoted from Triple-A Durham prior to Friday's game against the Tigers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The Rays dealt prospect Nick Solak to the Rangers for Fairbanks in mid-July. The hard-throwing righty has struck out 19 in 10.1 innings with the Bulls, and while he may not get any saves over the rest of the season, he has the potential to pitch in some high-leverage situations.

Green served as the opener and took the loss against Cleveland on Thursday, pitching one-third of an inning and giving up five runs on four hits and a walk while striking out one.

The Yankees had been 9-0 in games opened by Green this season, but hopes of continuing that streak were dashed when the Indians ambushed the 28-year-old in the first inning. Green loaded the bases with nobody out on a pair of singles and a walk, then struck out Yasiel Puig before serving up the first grand slam of Jose Ramirez's career. When Jason Kipnis went deep immediately after Ramirez, Green was pulled having retired only one batter while giving up a season-high five runs. Despite the blowup, Green could continue to be used as an opener -- perhaps even in the playoffs -- as the approach has been an overall success for the Yankees this year.

Santiago is tentatively scheduled to start Saturday against the Angels, Doug Padilla of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The White Sox need a rotation fill-in after Tuesday's doubleheader, so Santiago will make his second start since joining the team. Santiago hasn't made an appearance since tossing 4.2 innings of long relief Aug. 6 against the Tigers.

Devenski (2-2) was charged with the loss against the A's on Thursday, allowing a solo home run while striking out three.

Devenski came into the eighth inning with the score tied, 6-6, and gave up a homer to Matt Chapman to give the A's the lead for good. The right-hander has functioned mostly in middle relief for the Astros this season, posting a forgettable 4.42 ERA and 1.29 WHIP.

Diekman (1-6) earned the win against the Astros on Thursday after recording the final out of the eighth inning.

With two outs and a 6-6 tie in the eighth inning, Diekman stepped in for Blake Treinen to face Yordan Alvarez. The left-hander threw just two pitches to force Alvarez to ground out. Luckily, Matt Chapman homered in the bottom of the frame to hand the win over to Diekman and the A's. Through 56 appearances this season, the 32-year-old owns a 4.86 ERA and 1.40 WHIP.

Lopez (7-10) was charged with the loss against the Angels on Thursday after surrendering five runs on nine hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

It was quite the messy outing for Lopez, who had been on fire for nearly a month -- he'd allowed three runs or fewer in each start since the All-Star break until Thursday. Of his five runs allowed, one came via the long ball off the bat of Mike Trout. Lopez has now served up 25 homers this year, tying his total from a 2018 campaign that included seven additional starts. The 25-year-old now owns a 5.29 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 129:54 K:BB. He'll look to bounce back when he hits the road for a Wednesday showdown against the Twins.
