Palumbo has been promoted to Double-A Frisco, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Palumbo had been one of the organization's top pitching prospects prior to undergoing Tommy John elbow surgery in early 2017. The left-hander posted a 2.67 ERA and 11.3 K/9 in six starts at High-A Down East.

Jurado (2-3) got the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on 10 hits and a walk while striking out one over 5.2 innings against the Athletics.

Jurado got through 4.2 innings with just one run allowed, but he yielded another on a couple of hits and a walk in the fifth before giving up two more in the sixth. The rookie has allowed at least four runs in three straight starts with an even 5:5 K:BB in 16.2 innings in that span, bringing his ERA to an unsightly 6.40. He lines up to take on the Dodgers at home Wednesday in his next outing.

Rogers struck out two in a clean ninth inning to pick up the save against the White Sox on Tuesday.

Rogers came into the ninth with a three-run lead and got two swinging strikeouts and a groundout to record his second save on the year. Rogers got the save opportunity over Trevor Hildenberger on Aug. 17 and got it once again Tuesday. Hildenberger would still appear to be the favorite option, but it seems Rogers may continue to see some chances depending on the matchups and workloads. The lefty sports a 3.44 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP in 57 appearances this season.

Kahnle struck out one in a perfect inning of work to earn his first save of the season Tuesday against the Marlins.

With the game in extra innings, Aroldis Chapman (knee) was called upon to protect a one-run lead before leaving with an injury. Kahnle was summoned to close it out and did so with aplomb, retiring the side on 17 pitches. With numerous other options in the bullpen, including the likes of Dellin Betances, David Robertson (shoulder) and Zach Britton, Kahnle seems quite unlikely to see many more save opportunities, even if Chapman misses time.

Robertson was unavailable to pitch in Tuesday's game against the Marlins due to a sore right shoulder, Marc Carig of The Athletic New York reports.

The extra-inning affair may have provided a save chance for Robertson with closer Aroldis Chapman exiting the 12th inning with a knee injury, but Robertson's shoulder has been tender for a few days. The Yankees don't seem overly concerned about the right-hander, which could prove significant if Chapman is forced to miss any time. Robertson's availability for Wednesday's game remains unclear, but Thursday's scheduled off day provides a chance for some additional rest if the team opts to remain cautious.

Hand struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday in Boston en route to his fifth save with the Indians (29th of the season).

Cody Allen picked up the save while allowing a run Monday, but he threw 28 pitches in that appearance. While Hand also pitched Monday, he only threw nine pitches, and with the lefty-hitting Andrew Benintendi leading off the ninth inning Tuesday, it made sense for the Indians to turn to the fresher southpaw over Allen. It seems clear that Allen and Hand will continue to get save opportunities, at least in the short term. With Hand pitching on back-to-back days, Allen would likely get the ball if a save situation arises Wednesday.

Chapman was forced from Tuesday's game against the Marlins with left knee discomfort, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

It's the same knee and same area as the tendinitis that has bothered Chapman throughout the season, which is now a huge concern for the Yankees. The veteran left-hander will undergo an MRI to help determine the severity of the issue, which last flared up in early July. The specifics remain unclear, but a worrying sign cropped up post-game when Chapman said the pain experienced Tuesday was "more than usual," Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Chapman exited Tuesday's game against the Marlins with an apparent injury, Marc Carig of The Athletic New York reports.

Chapman threw six pitches -- and only one strike -- after entering to secure the save during the 12th inning. The specifics of the injury are not yet known.

Pearson (broken ulna) threw a bullpen session Monday, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Everything went off without a hitch, and Pearson is expected to throw another side session later in the week before progressing to facing live hitters sometime next week. It's still unclear if the well-regarded prospect will have enough time to return to game action before the end of the season.

Sedlock (shoulder) was activated from the minor-league disabled list Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Sedlock is finally back in action with High-A Frederick after spending nearly four months on the disabled list with a shoulder injury. Prior to suffering the injury, Sedlock compiled an unsightly 13.50 ERA and 2.68 WHIP across three starts for the Keys. The 2016 first-round pick will look to turn things around now that he's back to full health.
