Adams (1-2) got the win against the Mets on Tuesday, firing a scoreless fifth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

Adams took over after Joe Boyle exited following 85 pitches over four-plus frames, and the former was able to stop the proverbial bleeding after the Mets had pulled to within three runs. Dating back to July 19, Adams now has scoreless efforts in 10 of his last 11 trips to the mound, posting a 1.04 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 11.4 K/9, Tuesday's victory and five holds across a span of 8.2 innings.

The Red Sox placed Booser on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left elbow inflammation, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Booser failed to retire any of the three batters he faced in Tuesday's win over the Rangers, but it appears his elbow might have been bothering him in the outing. It's not clear at this point how much time he might miss. Brennan Bernardino was called up from Triple-A Worcester to replace Booser in the bullpen.

The Red Sox recalled Bernardino from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Bernardino was just sent down to the minors over the weekend but is back to absorb the roster spot of Cam Booser (elbow), who was placed on the injured list. The 32-year-old has pitched well for most of the season for the Red Sox but had struggled of late before being optioned with a 12.54 ERA over his last 12 appearances.

Rosenberg allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five innings in long relief against Toronto on Tuesday.

Angels starter Carson Fulmer was able to go just three innings, giving up five runs while tossing 75 pitches. Rosenberg -- who was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake earlier in the day -- stepped in and logged what was essentially a starter's workload with 78 pitches of his own, and he was much more effective than Fulmer in yielding just one run across five frames. Due to the large workload, Rosenberg will presumably now be unavailable for several days, so he could move back to the minors in short order to allow Los Angeles to bring up a fresh arm.

Hamilton (lat) is scheduled to toss a live bullpen session this week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Hamilton has recently been upping the intensity of his bullpen sessions, and because he's cleared that hurdle without any setbacks, he's now ready to face live hitters. The right-hander could subsequently move on to a minor-league rehab assignment and may be back in the big-league bullpen by the end of the month. Hamilton had been struggling prior to landing on the injured list, allowing eight runs (seven earned) over four innings spanning his previous four appearances.

Jansen struck out one in 1.1 perfect innings of relief Tuesday to record his 22nd save of the season in a 9-4 win over the Rangers.

The veteran closer got the final out in the top of the eighth inning to protect a 6-4 lead, and his job then got a lot easier when Boston tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the frame. Jansen blew two of his first three save chances coming out of the All-Star break but appears to have worked through the rough patch, delivering four straight scoreless appearances with a 6:1 K:BB.

Urena (3-8) took the loss Tuesday as the Rangers were downed 9-4 by the Red Sox, coughing up six runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

The 32-year-old right-hander held Boston to one run through the first four innings but fell apart in the fifth, getting chased from the game after serving up a three-run homer to Connor Wong. Urena's return to the rotation in August has been a disaster, and he's been saddled with a 10.66 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 5:5 K:BB through 12.2 innings over three starts. With Max Scherzer (shoulder), Jon Gray (groin) and Jacob deGrom (elbow) all lacking clear timelines to rejoin the rotation, the Rangers might be stuck with Urena in the role, although Dane Dunning could be stretched out enough to be an option.

The Twins optioned Winder to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

He'll exit the active roster to clear a spot for right-hander Louie Varland, who was recalled from Triple-A in advance of his start Wednesday versus the Royals. Winder made three appearances out of the Minnesota bullpen during his latest stint in the big leagues, striking out eight batters over seven scoreless innings.

The Guardians outrighted Gose to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Gose was removed from the Guardians' 40-man roster last week, but he has cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Columbus. The left-handed reliever allowed two runs over 1.1 innings in his lone appearance in the majors this season.

Fulmer (0-3) allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over three innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Blue Jays.

Fulmer has now failed to make it through five innings in four of his six starts, and this was his shortest outing since he moved into the rotation. He was done in by a shaky first inning and then solo home runs by Vladimir Guerrero and Spencer Horwitz in the third. Fulmer has a 4.22 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 67:32 K:BB through 70.1 innings over 30 appearances this season. He's projected for a road start versus the Royals early next week.
