Rumbelow was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

Rumbelow will provide bullpen depth, perhaps only for a day or two. If the Mariners decide to dip into the farm system to replace Felix Hernandez (back) in the rotation this week, Rumbelow would be a logical choice to get the bump. He's given up nine hits -- including two home runs -- in his 7.1 innings with Seattle so far this season.

Andriese (2-3) fired a scoreless frame in an extra-inning win over the Tigers on Monday, allowing a hit and recording a strikeout.

The right-hander secured his second win of the season after preserving a 9-9 tie in the 10th and then seeing Daniel Robertson plate Kevin Kiermaier with the game-winning single in the home half of the frame. Andriese has now logged three scoreless appearances to open July, a welcome departure from the 6.39 ERA he generated over 12.2 innings in June.

Beeks was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday.

Beeks has made one career major-league appearance, allowing six runs in a four-inning start back in June. He appears to be up in a relief role this time around, with William Cuevas optioned to Pawtucket in a corresponding move.

Yarbrough is expected to cover the bulk of the innings out of the bullpen Tuesday against the Tigers once opening pitcher Ryne Stanek exits the game, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

With starter Chris Archer failing to escape the top of the fourth in his return from the disabled list in Monday's 10-9 win over the Tigers, Rays manager Kevin Cash used eight relievers -- including Stanek -- to finish out the contest. The only member of the bullpen that wasn't used was Yarbrough, who should be in store for an ample workload as the Rays look to give their other relief arms some rest. The 26-year-old lefty has posted a 3.75 ERA and 77:31 K:BB across 84 frames this season.

Stanek will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Stanek will pick up his 11th start of the season and will presumably be capped at two innings, as has been the case the other 10 times he has opened games. The hard-throwing right-hander appeared in relief in Monday's 10-9 victory in 10 innings, retiring one of the two batters he faced and getting charged with an earned run. Ryan Yarbrough, the only Rays reliever who went unused Monday, is expected to handle the bulk of the innings once Stanek departs Tuesday.

Pomeranz (biceps) threw a bullpen session Monday and will make his third rehabilitation start Friday for Triple-A Pawtucket, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Pomeranz could be activated shortly after the All-Star break, although he hasn't pitched more than three innings in his previous two rehab starts. The left-hander may require a fourth rehab start next week to build up his innings and pitch count before rejoining Boston's rotation.

Kelly, who had left his previous outing after experiencing lightheadedness, threw a scoreless eighth inning in Monday's 5-0 win over Texas. He allowed a hit and struck out two.

Kelly shook off a leadoff single to record his third consecutive scoreless outing. Manager Alex Cora still has confidence in Kelly, who had an 8.31 ERA during the month of June. The right-hander has pitched the eighth inning in eight of his previous nine appearances.

Gearrin struck out one over 1.2 scoreless innings in Monday's 5-0 loss to Boston.

Gearrin, who was acquired by the Rangers from the Giants on Sunday, made a good first impression in his debut, forcing three groundouts and keeping the game close before Jesse Chavez was lit up for a three-run home run in the eighth inning by J.D. Martinez. The outing extended his scoreless streak to seven games. Manager Jeff Banister told Craig Forde of MLB.com that he plans to use Gearrin in a variety of roles, including bridge work late in games.

Rodney allowed a hit and a walk but still finished a scoreless ninth for his 20th save Monday against the Royals.

Rodney has saved all three chances he has faced since blowing a pair of saves June 28 and July 2, but he has now allowed two baserunners in three consecutive outings. Even when he's successful of late, Rodney can't make it easy. He owns a 3.06 ERA with less than a week to go until the break.

Gallegos was sent down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following the conclusion of Monday's twin bill against the Orioles.

As expected, Gallegos will return to the minors after being brought up as the 26th man for Monday's doubleheader. He's appeared in three games for the Yankees this season, allowing three runs on eight hits while fanning 10. Gallegos figures to resurface in the big leagues later this season.
