Rosenberg is starting Monday's game at home against the Orioles, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The Angels are still hoping to avoid using their starters on four days' rest, per Fletcher, and they don't have an off day until Sept. 14; therefore, Rosenberg may get a few more starts beyond Monday. He has given up five earned runs with seven walks and seven strikeouts over seven frames in two big-league appearances this season and had a 7.20 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 33 strikeouts over 25 innings in his five most recent Pacific Coast League starts.

Gillaspie was designated for assignment Saturday.

The Orioles claimed Jorge Lopez off waivers from Miami, and Gillaspie loses his 40-man roster spot as a result. Gillaspie gave up six earned runs on 14 hits and five walks in nine innings as a big-league reliever this year.

Karinchak was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

Lucas Giolito will take Karinchak's place on the active roster. Karinchak had a 1.42 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and eight strikeouts in 6.1 innings over six appearances since being recalled Aug. 18.

The Orioles claimed Lopez off waivers from the Marlins on Saturday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Lopez was pushed off the Marlins' roster Saturday to clear space for Johnny Cueto, and he'll now head back to Baltimore. Lopez holds a 6.13 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through 47 innings on the season, and while he was closing for the O's as recently as last July, he'll likely be limited to low-leverage outings down the stretch even with Felix Bautista (elbow) out of commission.

Sweet was claimed off waivers by the Athletics on Saturday.

The 26-year-old reliever put up impressive numbers at Double-A (1.54 ERA) and Triple-A (2.57 ERA), but he gave up two runs in two innings over two appearances with the Mariners before they designated him for assignment Thursday.

The Rays optioned Beeks to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Beeks pitched a shutout inning in his lone appearance during his latest stint in the majors, and he'll now head back to Triple-A. Chris Devenski was activated from the bereavement list in a corresponding move.

The Rays reinstated Devenski from the bereavement list Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Devenski was placed on the bereavement list after signing with the Rays on Tuesday, and he'll now report to the team to serve as bullpen depth. Jalen Beeks was optioned to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move.

Munoz (3-6) took the loss Friday as the Mariners were downed 2-1 by the Mets, giving up a run on two hits and a walk in the eighth inning. He struck out one.

Called upon to preserve a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the eighth, Munoz instead tossed only 15 of 27 pitches for strikes, uncorked two wild pitches and gave up two stolen bases, somehow emerging with only one run on his ledger. The right-hander has been more lucky than good since taking over as Seattle's primary closer -- in 15 innings since the beginning of August, he has a 2.40 ERA despite a 1.47 WHIP, converting nine of his 11 save chances.

Lange allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save against the White Sox on Friday. He struck out one.

Lange worked around a leadoff single and needed just nine pitches to close out the 4-2 victory. It was a strong rebound after he coughed up three runs and blew a save against the Yankees on Thursday, which ended a stretch of seven straight scoreless outings. He's now 20 for 24 in save chances while registering a 3.86 ERA across 53.2 frames.

Morgan (5-2) allowed two hits and struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the win Friday over the Rays.

Morgan worked the seventh inning and became the pitcher of record when the Guardians pulled ahead in their half of that frame. The right-hander was fine in August with a 2.38 ERA and 16:5 K:BB over 11.1 innings while adding one hold. He's now at a 3.07 ERA despite a 1.40 WHIP and 61:21 K:BB through 55.2 innings this season. After the Guardians bolstered their bullpen via waiver claims Thursday, Morgan's chances for high-leverage opportunities are likely even slimmer than before.
