Mlodzinski allowed one run (none earned) on one hit while striking out three across four innings Sunday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.

Mlodzinski has served in a multi-inning relief role for most of the summer after beginning the year in the rotation. He was tabbed to start a bullpen game Sunday and pitched well in the role, generating 14 called and swinging strikes on 44 pitches while also getting six groundball outs. The Pirates' rotation is in flux after Andrew Heaney was shifted to the bullpen, but Mlodzinski is in the mix to stick in the rotation for the final six weeks of the regular season.

Gomez is scheduled to start Monday's game in Atlanta.

The 25-year-old right-hander will draw a second straight turn through the White Sox rotation after he delivered an excellent performance in his first MLB start this past Tuesday against the Tigers. Gomez collected the win in an 89-pitch outing, striking out seven batters and inducing 16 swinging strikes while permitting one run and allowing four runners to reach base over five innings. Gomez's limited track record in the big leagues makes him a risky fantasy option ahead of what shapes up as a two-start week, but he had found some success at the Triple-A level prior to his call-up last week. Gomez had posted a 2.12 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB in 46.2 innings with the White Sox's top affiliate in Charlotte.

Alexander struck out four and allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk over 2.1 innings in relief in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Royals.

The veteran southpaw made a 4.1-inning bulk-relief appearance in his most recent outing Monday against the Tigers, but he was available for a more traditional bullpen role during the White Sox's weekend series in Kansas City. Alexander could be a candidate to make additional starts or bulk-relief appearances over the final six weeks of the season if another opening in the rotation emerges, but for now, the White Sox appear content to proceed with Yoendrys Gomez as their No. 5 starter.

Iglesias allowed a hit during a scoreless inning and earned a save over Cleveland on Sunday. He struck out two.

Iglesias tossed 12 of 17 pitches for strikes and made quick work of the Guardians in the ninth inning. He retired three straight batters after Bo Naylor knocked a leadoff single. Iglesias has converted eight straight saves during his active 11-inning scoreless streak. For the year, he owns a 4.01 ERA with a 57:10 K:BB through 51.2 frames. Iglesias has converted 19 saves in 24 chances.

Suarez (shoulder) struck out a batter and allowed one earned run on one hit and two walks over three innings in his rehab start Sunday for Triple-A Norfolk.

After kicking off his rehab assignment Tuesday at Double-A Chesapeake with a two-inning start, Suarez moved up a level and tacked an inning on to his workload in his second outing in the minors. The Orioles are expected to deploy Suarez in long relief once he's activated from the 60-day injured list, but he'll likely continue to get further stretched out during his rehab assignment just in case he's needed to provide insurance for the rotation over the final month of the season. Suarez has been on the shelf since March 30 due to a right subscapularis strain.

Loaisiga (back) began a rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and struck out a batter while allowing one hit and one walk over one scoreless inning.

Loaisiga was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 3 due to right mid-back stiffness, but his ability to begin a rehab assignment two weeks later suggests he won't be in line for an extended stay on the shelf. The right-hander had submitted a 4.25 ERA and 1.48 WHIP while collecting one save and seven holds over 29.2 innings before landing on the IL.

Armstrong earned his fourth save of the season during Sunday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays, striking out one batter across 1.1 innings.

The Rangers turned to Armstrong to get the final out in the eighth after Hoby Milner yielded a two-run homer to George Springer and Cole Winn walked two-straight batters. Armstrong helped Texas escape the frame by getting Alejandro Kirk out and stayed on to close things out in the ninth, ending the game by striking out Myles Straw. In 14 appearances since the All-Star break, Armstrong has allowed just one run on five hits and two walks while striking out 16 over 13.1 innings.

Pagan blew his save opportunity against the Brewers on Sunday by yielding a walk and a two-run homer in one inning of work.

Pagan was brought out for the ninth inning to secure the Reds' one-run lead. Things started out poorly after he issued a four-pitch walk to Anthony Seigler, and things went from bad to worse two batters later, when Pagan's first pitch to William Contreras was smashed to left-center field to give the Brewers the lead. It was the second game in a row that Pagan has blown his save chance, and he has given up five runs (four earned) on three hits and five walks while striking out five across six innings since the beginning of August.

Duran picked up the save Sunday against the Nationals, striking out one over a perfect two-thirds of an inning.

Duran was carted off the field Friday after taking a comebacker to the ankle, but he avoided structural damage and said Saturday he was feeling 100 percent. The Phillies didn't require his services in Saturday's loss. However, they called upon Duran midway through the ninth inning Sunday after Max Lazar surrendered a three-run home run to trim the lead to two runs. Duran came in and retired Dylan Crews and James Wood back-to-back to earn his 21st save. The 27-year-old closer has converted each of his last 11 save opportunities, notching a 1.93 ERA and a 17:4 K:BB across 18.2 innings during that stretch.

Bender picked up the save Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing one hit and one walk across a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

Bender took the mound for Sunday's ninth-inning work as the Marlins continue to take a closer-by-committee approach. Lake Bachar, Calvin Faucher and Ronny Henriquez have also seen save chances since the All-Star break. While there hasn't been any specific trend in which reliever receives a save opportunity, Bender's bullpen-leading 2.16 ERA in 50 innings pitched this season could afford him more ninth-inning looks down the stretch of the regular season.
