Munoz earned the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Padres, allowing a run on two hits in the ninth inning.

Munoz allowed a run on a pair of doubles in the ninth inning, though he managed to strand the tying run on third base to pick up his 31st save this year. While Munoz has converted 10 straight save chances, he's been a bit shaky of late, allowing a run in three of his last four appearances. Overall, the right-hander sports a 1.56 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP and 66:24 K:BB across 52 innings this season.

Smith (6-5) picked up the win Wednesday, striking out one during a perfect 10th inning in a 4-3 victory over the Rays.

The right-hander needed only seven pitches (six strikes) to breeze through Tampa Bay's 8-9-1 hitters and leave designated runner Jake Mangum stranded at third base, setting the stage for Kyle Manzardo to walk it off in the bottom of the 10th with an RBI single. Smith allowed runs in three straight appearances last week, but he appears to have righted his ship against the Rays, collecting a win and a save in back-to-back scoreless outings. Through 13.1 innings in August, Smith sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB.

Fairbanks was charged with his fifth blown save of the season in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Guardians, giving up one run on one hit in the ninth inning. He struck out two.

Brought in to protect a 3-2 lead, Fairbanks instead served up a game-tying homer to improbable hero Nolan Jones, who came into Wednesday mired in a 53-game power drought, with his last long ball having come June 13. Fairbanks has coughed up just five home runs on the season, but four of them have come in his last 10 appearances -- a stretch in which he's gone 4-for-6 in converting save chances.

The Rangers recalled Boushley from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

The 31-year-old will claim the roster spot vacated by Nathan Eovaldi, who landed on the injured list Wednesday with a season-ending shoulder injury. Boushley has turned in a 5.22 ERA through 39.2 innings with the Rangers despite owning a 1.08 ERA in Triple-A, and he'll presumably take on a multi-inning role out of the bullpen now that he's back in Arlington.

The Angels optioned Bachman to Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Bachman gave up one run in two innings during his appearance Tuesday, bringing his ERA down to 4.96 through 16.1 innings in the majors. He'll now head back to Triple-A, where he owns a 0.49 ERA, to make room for Wednesday's starter, Jack Kochanowicz.

The Orioles optioned Hiraldo to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.

Hiraldo has been sent down one day after he was touched up for three runs in a 1.1-inning relief outing in the Orioles' 5-0 loss to the Red Sox. The righty reliever has collected a 5.65 ERA and 12:6 K:BB over 14.1 frames with the Orioles this season.

The Mariners optioned Lao to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Lao's latest stint in the majors lasted one week and he made just one appearance, getting tagged for three runs over 1.2 innings. He's being replaced on the active roster and in the bullpen by Emerson Hancock, who was recalled from Tacoma.

Hatch made his most recent appearance in long relief during Saturday's 7-3 loss to the White Sox, striking out five over five innings while allowing three hits and no walks.

After tossing five innings of one-run ball in a winning effort over the Tigers in his first start of the season back on Aug. 17, Hatch shifted back to the bullpen last weekend while the Twins added a pair of trade-deadline pickups -- Mick Abel and Taj Bradley -- into the rotation. With Abel getting tagged for six runs over three innings Saturday in his team debut, Hatch effectively piggybacked him in the outing, even though that wasn't necessarily the Twins' plan heading into the day. Neither Abel nor Bradley are guaranteed second turns through the rotation, but in spite of his strong performance Saturday, Hatch could end up sticking in the bullpen moving forward. The Twins will get another starter in Simeon Woods Richardson (illness) back from the injured list to start Wednesday's game in Toronto, and Pablo Lopez (shoulder) could be ready to come off the IL next week to further bolster the rotation.

The Twins optioned Ohl to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Ohl is clearing out to make room on the active roster for Simeon Woods Richardson (illness), who was activated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays. The right-handed Ohl has collected a 5.66 ERA and 16:5 K:BB over 20.2 innings covering three starts and four relief appearances for the Twins.

Latz has been named the Rangers' starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Angels in Arlington.

With Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) set to go on the injured list with a likely season-ending rotator cuff strain, Latz will get the first chance to replace him in the rotation. Latz has previously made three starts among his 26 appearances for the Rangers, but he most recently worked out of the bullpen in an outing against the Royals on Aug. 20, when he struck out four over 3.1 scoreless innings. Latz should be able to build on the 43-pitch workload he handled in that contest, but the Rangers may not keep him in Wednesday's game long enough for Latz to qualify for a win.
