Briceno was promoted to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, per MLB Pipeline.

Briceno will move up to Triple-A after producing a .297 average with eight home runs, 19 RBI and 15 runs scored over 64 at-bats in 17 contests with Double-A Erie. The 21-year-old is considered to be one of Detroit's top overall prospects and a top 100 prospect in baseball, and he is now just one step away from making his major-league debut.

Grisham went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 2-1, extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

Grisham provided the Yankees' only offense with a game-tying blast in the eighth inning. The 29-year-old has gone just 6-for-29 in eight August contests, though five of those hits have gone for extra bases. On the season, he's slashing .213/.308/.391 with 13 homers, 44 RBI, 56 runs scored and seven steals across 390 plate appearances.

Holton struck out the side in a clean inning of relief to earn the save in Sunday's 3-1, 10-inning victory over the Giants.

Regular closer Kenley Jansen worked the bottom of the ninth inning in a 1-1 tie, and just like Holton, struck out the side. Holton then came on in the bottom of the 10th to protect a 3-1 lead, and he needed 12 pitches to mow down the Giants in order and record his second save of the season. The lefty has been good this year with a 2.78 ERA overall, and he's been even better lately, posting a 1.38 ERA and 0.85 WHIP across his last 10 appearances.

Bello did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Athletics, allowing one run on three hits and no walks with four strikeouts over four innings.

Bello threw 34 of 51 pitches for strikes with seven whiffs and departed in line for a potential win before the Athletics rallied late. The 27-year-old continues to pitch well in a relief role, allowing just two earned runs over 22.2 innings since July 12. He owns a 4.84 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 64:27 K:BB across 83.2 frames overall this season, including eight starts and 10 relief appearances.

Jansen (3-4) struck out the side in a clean inning of relief and earned the win in Sunday's 3-1, 10-inning victory over the Giants.

Jansen worked the bottom of the ninth inning and needed 15 pitches to tally three strikeouts and keep the game tied 1-1. The veteran reliever then earned the win when Detroit scored twice in the top of the 10th, with Tyler Holton coming on for the save. Jansen has been sharp lately with a 0.90 ERA and 14 strikeouts across 10 innings of work in his last 10 appearances. Overall, he's sitting on a 3.82 ERA and leads the Tigers with 13 saves in 17 chances this season.

Simpson went 4-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

This was Simpson's fifth multi-hit effort over his last seven games. The double was also his first extra-base hit since July 24 versus the Guardians. The light-hitting outfielder is batting .304 with a .696 OPS, 31 stolen bases, 23 RBI, 48 runs scored, 12 doubles, six triples and no home runs across 110 contests this season.

Diaz went 4-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

Diaz and Chandler Simpson led the way with four hits apiece as the Rays used small ball effectively in this win. While Diaz has hit safely in just three of his seven games in August, those three performances have included multiple hits. He's 8-for-32 (.250 batting average) with two RBI this month, and he's batting .298 with an .821 OPS, 15 home runs, 65 RBI, 62 runs scored, 20 doubles, one triple and three stolen bases through 112 contests overall.

Matz hit a batter but did not allow a hit or a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners.

Matz has allowed one run over 8.2 innings since he returned from a sprained left ankle. This was his first save of the season, though he shouldn't be expected to factor into the late innings often -- he got the chance because Bryan Baker was rested Sunday after pitching the previous two days. Matz has filled a versatile role this year with a 5.55 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB through 61.2 innings over 21 games (10 starts). While the Rays' rotation is running a bit thin, Matz's usage out of the bullpen on consecutive days this weekend suggests he'll remain in a multi-inning relief role moving forward.

Seymour (9-3) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Sunday.

Seymour has won his last three outings (two starts), allowing just three runs over 16.2 innings with a 20:3 K:BB in that span. He had some ups and downs in July but looks to be getting on course as a starter after stretching out in the majors over the last couple of months. Seymour is at a 4.08 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 106:30 K:BB through 90.1 innings over 38 games (nine starts) this season, though he's also had some bulk-relief assignments. The southpaw's next appearance is projected to be at home versus the Orioles, and he should have some security in the rotation while Shane McClanahan (back) and Griffin Jax (elbow) are on the injured list.

Ginn did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox, allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over six innings.

Despite throwing just 54 of 95 pitches for strikes, Ginn battled to earn his second straight quality start since returning from the injured list Tuesday. The 27-year-old has now logged a quality start in each of his three second-half outings, posting a 1.96 ERA over 18.1 innings during that span. He'll take a 3.41 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 107:53 K:BB across 121.1 innings this season into a home matchup with the Rangers next weekend.
