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.

Jansen struck out one in 1.1 perfect innings of relief Tuesday to record his 22nd save of the season in a 9-4 win over the Rangers.

The veteran closer got the final out in the top of the eighth inning to protect a 6-4 lead, and his job then got a lot easier when Boston tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the frame. Jansen blew two of his first three save chances coming out of the All-Star break but appears to have worked through the rough patch, delivering four straight scoreless appearances with a 6:1 K:BB.

Urena (3-8) took the loss Tuesday as the Rangers were downed 9-4 by the Red Sox, coughing up six runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

The 32-year-old right-hander held Boston to one run through the first four innings but fell apart in the fifth, getting chased from the game after serving up a three-run homer to Connor Wong. Urena's return to the rotation in August has been a disaster, and he's been saddled with a 10.66 ERA, 2.05 WHIP and 5:5 K:BB through 12.2 innings over three starts. With Max Scherzer (shoulder), Jon Gray (groin) and Jacob deGrom (elbow) all lacking clear timelines to rejoin the rotation, the Rangers might be stuck with Urena in the role, although Dane Dunning could be stretched out enough to be an option.

Iglesias picked up the save against the Giants on Tuesday after pitching a scoreless 10th inning.

Iglesias was called upon for a second straight day and needed just two pitches to retire the first two batters he faced. He eventually got Heliot Ramos to fly out to end the game, and with that, Iglesias picked up his 25th save, tied for sixth in all of baseball. He's on track to post a second straight season with 30-plus saves. The 34-year-old is also on track to post the lowest ERA and WHIP of his 10-year career, as he currently owns a 1.54 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 45:8 K:BB in 46.2 innings.

The Twins optioned Winder to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

He'll exit the active roster to clear a spot for right-hander Louie Varland, who was recalled from Triple-A in advance of his start Wednesday versus the Royals. Winder made three appearances out of the Minnesota bullpen during his latest stint in the big leagues, striking out eight batters over seven scoreless innings.

The Phillies outrighted Nelson to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Nelson is no longer on the 40-man roster, but he will remain in the organization as relief depth in the minors. The righty has spent most of his season at Lehigh Valley, collecting an 8.35 ERA.

The Guardians outrighted Gose to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Gose was removed from the Guardians' 40-man roster last week, but he has cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Columbus. The left-handed reliever allowed two runs over 1.1 innings in his lone appearance in the majors this season.
