Jimenez (oblique) allowed two earned runs on two hits, a walk, a hit batsman and a wild pitch over one-plus inning in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Oklahoma City on Tuesday. He struck out one.

Jimenez saw his ERA dinged for the first time in his three minor-league rehab appearances, as he allowed one run on a wild pitch in the sixth before being charged with a second run after getting the hook following an inning-opening walk in the seventh. The poor control pushed Jimenez's pitch count up to 27, his highest yet by far during his time with the Aviators. It remains to be seen if the Athletics will deem the reliever ready for return despite the rough outing, or whether they'll give Jimenez at least one opportunity to reset himself.

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.

Atlanta designated Dunshee for assignment Wednesday.

The club needed to free up a spot on its 40-man roster for the return of Michael Harris (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list, and Dunshee ended up being the casualty. Dunshee made his major-league debut last week, allowing five runs in a 2.1-inning relief appearance against the Brewers.

Megill (back) will begin a rehab assignment with High-A Wisconsin on Thursday.

Megill has been sidelined for all of August with a lower-back injury but has been cleared for game action. The reliever leads the Brewers with 20 saves on the season, but he'll be used in a setup role upon his return from the 15-day injured list with Devin Williams now in the fold for Milwaukee.

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.

Rodriguez (3-2) allowed an unearned run on one hit over one inning to take the extra-inning loss Tuesday versus Atlanta. He did not issue a walk or strike out a batter.

Rodriguez gave up an RBI single to Travis d'Arnaud, which plated the initial runner in the 10th inning, and the Giants failed to respond for their second extra-inning loss in a row. While this run wasn't earned, Rodriguez has allowed six runs (five earned) over his last 9.2 innings despite sparse usage since the All-Star break. He's at a 3.93 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 52:16 K:BB through 50.1 innings while adding five holds and a blown save in a low-leverage role this season.

The Angels released Garrett on Tuesday.

Anaheim parted ways with two veteran lefty relievers on Triple-A Salt Lake's roster, as Garrett was cut loose along with Adam Kolarek. Garrett previously made six appearances out of the big-league bullpen earlier this season before being moved off the 40-man roster in May and electing free agency. He re-signed with the Angels on a minor-league deal shortly thereafter and pitched exclusively at Salt Lake, logging a 4.78 ERA and 1.44 WHIP with 33 strikeouts across 26.1 innings.
