Fulmer earned a save with a scoreless inning in Friday's win over the White Sox. He gave up a hit and struck out one batter.

Fulmer plunked Tim Anderson and gave up a single to AJ Pollock but he was able to retire the next two batters to finish off the 7-5 win. He's allowed just one earned run over his last 16.2 frames, lowering his season ERA to 1.97 alongside two saves and 15 holds. Closer Gregory Soto didn't pitch Friday after throwing 21 pitches in Thursday's win over the White Sox.

Iglesias (2-5) allowed three runs on four hits and no walks while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning to take the loss in Friday's game against the Orioles.

Iglesias was called upon to preserve a two-run lead Friday, and he retired the first two batters he faced in the bottom of the ninth inning. However, he allowed the next three batters to record hits and was ultimately charged with his first blown save since June 5. The right-hander served a one-game suspension Sunday against the Astros and has given up four runs in 1.2 innings over two appearances since returning to the field.

Martin struck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning to earn a save over Minnesota on Friday.

With the Rangers recently removing Joe Barlow from the closer's role, Martin saw his first save opportunity since April 11. He needed just 10 pitches to retire the Twins in order and finish off the 6-5 win. Martin's riding an 8.2-inning scoreless streak dating back to the start of June, lowering his season ERA to 3.12 through 26 frames. The 27-year-old has an 0-4 record with four holds and a save on the year.

Junis (hamstring) will make a rehab start with the Giants' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate Monday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Junis threw two innings in a rehab start Thursday and will make another appearance with the rookie-level affiliate Monday. The Giants haven't yet indicated when the right-hander will be able to return, but he should be out through the All-Star break if he requires another rehab appearance following Monday's outing.

Graterol (side) isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Graterol exited Thursday's game against the Cubs due to right side soreness but felt fine after playing catch Friday. He won't be available for Friday's matchup against the Cubs but is expected to be available as early as Saturday.

Lawrence was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

Lawrence struggled over two major-league appearances in July, posting an 11.88 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 8.1 innings. After giving up five runs in 2.2 innings as the primary pitcher Thursday against the Mariners, he'll head back to the minors. It's possible that he rejoins the Blue Jays as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen at some point.

Garcia (back) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Garcia struck out two in a perfect inning during his lone rehab appearance at Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, and he'll rejoin the Blue Jays' bullpen ahead of Friday's game against Seattle. The right-hander should reclaim high-leverage duties after he picked up 12 holds in 28 appearances to begin the year.

Logue will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Saturday's game against the Astros, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Logue was sent down in late May, and he posted a 5.03 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in 34 innings over six starts for Las Vegas following his demotion. He'll start in place of Frankie Montas (shoulder) on Saturday, but it's possible that Montas is able to return after missing just one turn through the rotation. If that's the case, Logue will likely head back to Las Vegas after Saturday's start.

Rondon was designated for assignment by the Cardinals on Friday.

Rondon has made just one big-league appearance this season, throwing five scoreless innings of relief against the PIrates back in late May. He's spent most of the season with Triple-A Memphis, where he owns a 4.04 ERA and a 15.3 percent walk rate across 49 innings.

Naile was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Naile made three relief appearances during his time with the major-league club and struck out four in 4.2 scoreless innings. However, he'll head back to Memphis after Genesis Cabrera (illness) was reinstated from the injured list Friday.
