Treinen allowed one run on one hit with a strikeout and a walk en route to a save in a 4-3 victory against the Rays on Tuesday.

This appearance provides something of a snapshot of Treinen's season. He owns a 3.51 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, which are both rather high for a closer, but he is also 15-for-17 in save chances. One of his biggest issues has been control, as he's walked 19 in just 33.1 innings. Treinen also has 33 strikeouts this season.

Stanek allowed one hit with two strikeouts during an inning as an opener against the Athletics on Tuesday.

After giving up a run in two different outings against the Twins and Tigers, the 27-year-old is back on track, having given up no runs and only one hit in his last 2.1 frames. Despite those two subpar appearances, Stanek owns a 1.46 ERA in his last eight outings. He has strong numbers overall -- 0-1 record, 2.70 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 36.2 innings -- but as is the case with all openers, he doesn't pitch long enough to factor into the decision and thus his fantasy utility is limited.

Puk (elbow) started High-A Stockton's win over San Jose on Tuesday, recording four strikeouts while allowing an earned run on a solo home run across two innings. He also issued one walk.

Puk fired a total of 33 pitches, 22 of which found the strike zone. Outside of his one costly mistake, Puk was sharp for a pitcher who'd last seen game action in mid-March 2018. The left-hander is slated for multiple rehab outings before activation, at which point he could make his big-league debut in the Athletics' bullpen if recent comments from big-league manager Bob Melvin hold true.

Jurado (4-2) allowed three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six across six innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Jurado looked to be in line for a poor outing, allowing three earned runs in his first three innings of work. However, he received plenty of run support and held the Red Sox to just three baserunners in his final three innings of work to record his fourth consecutive quality start. Jurado has proven to be one of the biggest surprises of the season, compiling a 3.02 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 41.2 innings of work to go along with 34 strikeouts. He'll look to keep things going on Sunday as the Rangers travel to hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park to face the Reds.

Thornton (1-5) took the loss Tuesday at Baltimore after giving up three runs on seven hits over five innings. He struck out four and walked three.

Thornton issued three walks in his fourth straight start as free passes continue to be a major hurdle for the right-hander. The 25-year-old has a 4.78 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 73:34 K:BB through 69.2 innings and has a daunting matchup Sunday at Houston.

Rogers was unavailable to pitch Tuesday against the Mariners due to a minor back injury, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Rogers hasn't pitched since throwing two innings Thursday at Cleveland, but it's unclear when he actually sustained the injury. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue for the 28-year-old and he should be considered day-to-day. Trevor May -- not Blake Parker -- was called upon for the save in his absence Tuesday.

Sadzeck underwent an MRI on his inflamed elbow Tuesday which revealed no structural damage, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Sadzeck resumed throwing quickly after landing on the injured list last Tuesday, though he experienced elbow discomfort right away and was shut down from throwing. Despite good news from his tests, he still hasn't been cleared to resume throwing.

Betances was shut down again Tuesday with a low-grade strain in his right lat, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

The Yankees originally viewed Betances' latest setback as nothing more than "normal soreness," but an MRI revealed Tuesday that it was worse than initially believed. It's unclear how long he's expected to be shut down for, but it's hard to be especially confident about a return date given his season-long struggles with staying healthy.

Brasier was placed on the bereavement list Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Players must spend between three and seven days on the bereavement list, so Brasier could be back as soon as Friday in Baltimore. His absence makes room on the roster for Darwinzon Hernandez, who starts Tuesday against Texas.

Robles worked around a pair of base hits to toss a scoreless ninth inning and notch his eighth save in Monday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

Robles allowed back-to-back singles to Russell Martin and Chris Taylor to lead off the ninth, but buckled down and coaxed a lineout from Enrique Hernandez followed by a double-play ball off the bat of Joc Pederson to end the threat. The right-hander has thus far shown the ability to limit damage via home runs (0.91 HR/9) and walks (6.8 percent rate), which should be enough for him to keep seeing the majority of the Angels' save chances.
