  • Cameron Booser RP | CHW

    White Sox's Cam Booser: Sent to Triple-A

    The White Sox optioned Booser to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    The left-hander was called up by Chicago last week and will return to Charlotte after giving up two runs in two innings over three appearances. Booser has an underwhelming 4.82 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 33:18 K:BB over 28 frames in the majors this year.

  • Bryan Hudson RP | CHW

    White Sox's Bryan Hudson: Rejoins big club

    The White Sox recalled Hudson from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

    The left-hander was up with Chicago for a couple days in early August after being claimed off waivers and will now receive another look in the majors. Hudson has made 15 appearances between the Brewers and White Sox this year and has a 5.14 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 17:13 K:BB over 14 innings.

  • Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Promoted ahead of start

    The Tigers recalled Gipson-Long from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Gipson-Long will start Tuesday's game at home against the Mets, and manager A.J. Hinch said the right-hander will get either another start or bulk relief outing next week versus the Yankees. The righty hasn't reached the five-inning mark in an appearance since late June, so he won't pitch terribly deep into Tuesday's game.

  • Chase Lee P | DET

    Tigers' Chase Lee: Sent back to minors

    The Tigers optioned Lee to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Lee had just been recalled Monday and will be sent back down without having made an appearance. He's making space on the active roster for Sawyer Gipson-Long, who will start Tuesday's game against the Mets.

  • Keegan Akin RP | BAL

    Orioles' Keegan Akin: Notches fourth save

    Akin earned a save against San Diego on Monday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter over a scoreless ninth inning.

    Akin entered the ninth with a one-run lead and worked around a one-out single to secure the save. It was the southpaw's fourth save of the season, all of which have come since Aug. 2. Akin seems to be the primary closer for Baltimore, though he's also blown three saves over the past month and Corbin Martin and Dietrich Enns each recorded a save apiece for the Orioles in that span, so it may not be an entirely settled situation. Nonetheless, Akin has pitched well enough (3.21 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB over 14 innings spanning his past 13 outings) to be worth a pickup by fantasy managers digging for saves.

  • Jacob Latz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob Latz: Drawing another start

    Latz will be the Rangers' starting pitcher for Tuesday's game in Arizona.

    Latz earned another turn after allowing two runs and striking out five over 4.1 innings in a start against the Angels last week. The left-hander has made four starts and 23 relief appearances this season and pitched well in both roles, collecting a 3.13 ERA and 61:29 K:BB over 63.1 frames. With Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) out for the season, Latz could remain in the rotation indefinitely if he pitches well.

  • Cole Winn SP | TEX

    Rangers' Cole Winn: Set for rehab outing Tuesday

    Winn (hand) will throw one inning of relief in a rehab appearance for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

    Winn was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 20 after experiencing nerve irritation in his thumb. He pitched well after being promoted from Round Rock following the All-Star break, throwing 12.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen prior to hitting the shelf.

  • Chris Martin RP | TEX

    Rangers' Chris Martin: Picks up second win

    Martin (2-6) allowed a hit and struck out one in one inning to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

    Martin was back on a major-league mound for the first time since July 20 after missing six weeks due to a calf strain. He kept this game tied in the ninth inning -- that's typically usage a closer would see, but Shawn Armstrong got the save in the 10th inning and appears to be the head of a closing committee currently. Martin should still factor into the late-inning mix, but he's been a setup man for much of the year, earning two saves, 12 holds and two blown saves over 40 appearances. He also has a 2.29 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 37:6 K:BB across 35.1 innings.

  • Rangers' Shawn Armstrong: Grabs sixth save

    Armstrong struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Monday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks.

    Armstrong picked up his third save in his last six appearances when he shut the door in the 10th inning. His 11.2-inning scoreless streak was snapped Sunday versus the Athletics, but the right-hander has been one of the Rangers' steadiest bullpen arms lately. He's now at a 2.51 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 63:18 K:BB while adding six saves, 10 holds and three blown saves over 61 innings.

  • Mitch Farris RP | LAA

    Angels' Mitch Farris: Set for major-league debut Tuesday

    Farris will start Tuesday's game versus the Royals in Kansas City, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    After having his contract selected from Double-A Rocket City on Monday, Farris will take the hill Tuesday for his MLB debut. The left-hander owns an impressive 28 percent strikeout rate over 116 innings with Rocket City, and he had covered at least six innings in five of his last six outings in the minors, logging a 2.52 ERA and 1.26 WHIP during that stretch. Farris should have the chance to make multiple turns through the Los Angeles rotation in September.
