Estevez picked up the save in Monday's 4-3 win over Texas, throwing a clean ninth inning with no strikeouts.

Estevez is now up to 32 saves on the season, and he's now fired three consecutive spotless frames after giving up four runs in his first six outings of the month. The right-hander has had his share of hiccups since the start of July -- he has a 3.92 ERA over his last 20.2 innings -- but he remains Kansas City's clear-cut top option for ninth-inning work. Estevez is first in the American League in saves so far in 2025.

Gomez (3-1) notched the win Monday against Atlanta, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk in five-plus innings. He struck out three.

Gomez was well on his way to his second straight start of at least five innings while yielding only one run, but he was unable to record an out before conceding two more earned runs in the sixth inning. With Chicago optioning Sean Burke to the minor leagues Monday, Gomez should be able to maintain a spot in the rotation going forward. That said, Gomez has a weak 5.53 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 23:15 K:BB across 27.2 frames in 2025, so he likely won't categorize as an appealing streaming option versus the division-rival Twins this weekend.

Bernardino will be recalled from Triple-A Worcester ahead of Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

This move isn't yet official, but Bernardino will be promoted to take the place of Jovani Moran. Bernardino looked sharp in his last 11 big-league appearances before being sent down Aug. 1, turning in 13.0 scoreless frames while striking out 10 over 11 appearances.

Moran was optioned to Triple-A Worcester after Monday's game against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

Moran was knocked around for two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out three over two innings Monday, ultimately resulting in his departure from the big-league club. He made two appearances for the big-league club since his promotion Aug. 11.

Otanez (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Otanez missed nearly two and a half months while on the mend from an unspecified injury. He appeared in a game for Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, surrendering one run on two hits while striking out one over one inning.

Stephenson (biceps) will likely make one more minor-league rehab appearance before being activated off the 60-day IL, per MLB.com

Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery said Sunday that Stephenson is "in a good spot" through two rehab outings. In those appearances, the veteran reliever has given up two runs (both in the first outing) on two hits while posting a 4:1 K:BB over two innings. Stephenson has pitched in only one game for the big-league club this season, but it appears he'll be back before the end of August to provide a boost to the Angels' bullpen.

Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Aug. 6 that Blewett (elbow) has resumed playing catch, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Blewett was placed on the 15-day injured list July 13 due to right elbow discomfort and was set to receive a second opinion on his injury later that month before a decision on his treatment plan was made. Evidently, Blewett received favorable news from doctors, as he wasn't recommended to stop throwing for an extended period. That said, Blewett had yet to resume throwing off a mound since Mansolino provided the latest update on his status, so the righty reliever's return from the IL wouldn't appear to be imminent.

Triple-A Buffalo placed Pina on its 7-day injured list Aug. 6 due to an unspecified injury.

After Toronto optioned him to Triple-A on July 21, Pina made three appearances for Buffalo before being shelved with the injury. The right-hander is without a clear timeline to return from the 7-day IL.

Slaten (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Slaten had been scheduled to throw a live batting practice session Monday. However, he's feeling good enough that the Red Sox have opted to have him skip that session in order to send him out on a rehab assignment right away. Slaten has been shelved since early June with right shoulder inflammation, so he'll likely need multiple appearances in the minors before making his return to the Boston bullpen.

The Tigers optioned Horn to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Horn will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen to right-hander Alex Lange (lat), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. After being called up from Triple-A on Thursday, Horn made a pair of appearances during his time with Detroit, striking out three over 3.1 scoreless innings.
