Scott was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket on Tuesday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Scott will join the big club for the first time all season after excelling with the PawSox, posting a 1.45 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 37:8 K:BB across 24.1 innings. He'll offer an additional left-handed arm out of the bullpen during his time in the majors. In a corresponding roster move, Justin Haley was returned to the minors.

McHugh (2-0) struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning in Houston's come-from-behind 5-4 win over Tampa Bay.

McHugh was the pitcher of record when Alex Bregman delivered a walkoff double and earned his second win of the season. The 31-year-old's transition to the bullpen has been a success thus far. McHugh owns a 1.13 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 43 strikeouts over 32 innings. As a reliever, McHugh has picked up velocity -- his four-seam fastball lived at 93 mph Monday, three ticks higher than its average when McHugh was a starter in 2017 -- and that's resulted in a career-high 12.1 K/9.

Barria (5-3) allowed six runs on six hits and a walk with five strikeouts through just four innings in a loss Monday against Arizona.

Barria was in a hole quickly, as he allowed homers to Paul Goldschmidt and Ketel Marte to fall behind 3-0 by the third inning. Barria has now allowed seven home runs in his past four starts after giving up just one across his first five outings. It looks like the league is starting to figure out the 21-year-old a bit, but despite the recent struggles, he'll take an impressive 3.57 ERA into his next start Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Covey (3-2) allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and five walks across five innings to take the loss Monday against the Indians. He struck out two.

Covey struggled mightily to find the strike zone at times, issuing as many walks in this one as he had over his previous three starts (18 innings) combined. He allowed three runs on three hits, a walk and an error in the second inning before Jason Kipnis victimized him for an RBI single in the third and a solo home run in the fifth. This was a disappointing effort from Covey, who hadn't allowed more than two runs in any of his last five outings. He still has a shiny 2.90 ERA and will look to bounce back this weekend against the Athletics.

Chapman worked around a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning of work to earn his 21st save of the season Monday against the Nationals.

Staked to a two-run lead, Chapman made things interesting by putting the tying run on base with just one out. He buckled down to get the next two men, however, locking down another win for the Yanks. Despite the occasional hiccup, Chapman has still dominated to the tune of a 14:3 K:BB, no earned runs allowed and nine consecutive saves across his last 8.1 innings.

Gallegos was sent down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Monday's game.

As expected, Gallegos will return to the minor leagues after serving as the 26th man. He's appeared in just one big-league game this season, allowing one hit and striking out one across two scoreless innings.

Rodriguez was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday .

Rodriguez will be making his season debut after posting a 6.23 ERA in 13 innings with the Rangers last season. Jose Trevino was optioned to Double-A Frisco in a corresponding move.

Gallegos was called up to be the Yankees' 26th man Monday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

The Yankees will get an extra man as they're resuming a suspended game with the Nationals ahead of Monday's normal scheduled game. Gallegos pitched once for the Yankees earlier in the season, tossing a pair of scoreless innings. He has a 5.14 ERA in 14 innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season. The 26-year-old is likely to be sent back to the minors following the pair of games.

Treinen (4-1) fired two perfect frames during which he recorded three strikeouts in an extra-innings win over the Angels on Sunday

The Athletics' closer was razor sharp while firing 18 of 21 pitches for strikes over his pair of frames. His ability to hold the Angels at bay was rewarded when Jonathan Lucroy's single brought Jed Lowrie home in the bottom of the 11th, making Treinen the pitcher of record. The 29-year-old has had an eventful and successful month thus far, as he owns two victories, two saves and a 7:2 K:BB over five outings.

Whalen was demoted to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

Whalen was optioned to make room for the return of Juan Nicasio (knee). Whalen pitched four scoreless innings Friday against the Red Sox in his only big-league appearance this season, allowing just one hit and one walk, though he didn't manage to strike out a single batter.
