Sandlin (2-2) took the loss Sunday against the Cardinals, allowing three unearned runs on two hits and no walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Sandlin got off to an excellent start Sunday, as he held St. Louis to just one hit through his first five scoreless innings. However, he'd depart after giving up a pair of one-out singles in the sixth before the White Sox bullpen coughed up three unearned runs, following a Colson Montgomery error. Despite the disappointing finish, it was an encouraging outing overall for Sandlin, who gave up six runs in 5.1 innings in his last major-league start Aug. 7. Overall, Sandlin sports a 5.64 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB across 30.1 innings with Chicago this season.

The Rangers optioned Cauley to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Cauley was called up by the Rangers when MLB rosters expanded Sept. 1, and he served exclusively as a defensive replacement and pinch runner during this stint in the majors. The 23-year-old has a .207/.281/.345 slash line with one homer, one steal and 10 runs in 65 big-league plate appearances this year.

Neto went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo homer and an additional run scored during the Angels' 6-5 loss to the Nationals on Sunday.

It was a scoreless affair through three innings, but Neto put the Angels on the board with a solo homer off Jake Irvin in the fourth frame. It was Neto's third long ball in his last five games and his 26th homer of the season, tying his career high that he set last year. He has a .760 OPS with 20 steals and 73 RBI across 644 plate appearances this season.

The Rangers recalled Osuna from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

The 23-year-old spent the past month in the minors but is back with the Rangers ahead of Sunday's series finale in Arizona. Osuna has a .255/.347/.297 slash line with one homer and five steals in 220 big-league plate appearances this season.

Manager John Schneider said Sunday that Yesavage (knee) is scheduled to make a rehab appearance Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The right-hander threw successful bullpen sessions Thursday and Sunday, clearing the way for his return to game action. If all goes well Tuesday, Yesavage could rejoin Toronto's rotation for the series opener in Baltimore on Sept. 21. He's been on the shelf since early August after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

Rodriguez did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four across 5.1 innings.

Rodriguez was able to get out of a bases-loaded situation in the first inning without giving up a run. He kept the Nationals off the board until he was tagged for two runs in the sixth, but it was still a nice bounce-back performance from the 26-year-old right-hander, who had allowed nine runs in his two outings (spanning 10 innings) prior to Sunday. Rodriguez will take a 6.10 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 87 innings into his net start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Twins.

Aranda went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 14-4 win over the Astros.

Aranda reached 20 homers in the fourth inning before going deep again in the seventh. The performance continued a strong September for the 28-year-old, who owns a 1.058 OPS with seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI in 11 games this month. On the season, he's slashing .278/.362/.438 with 21 long balls, 89 RBI and 71 runs scored across 630 plate appearances.

Peralta (9-11) earned the win against the Astros on Sunday, allowing no hits and three walks with four strikeouts over five scoreless innings.

Peralta was spotted an early lead and held the Astros without a hit despite throwing only 49 of 86 pitches for strikes. The 30-year-old is finding his groove at the right time, winning four straight contests while yielding just two earned runs and posting three quality starts during that stretch. He owns a 3.86 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB across 44.1 innings with Tampa Bay and lines up for a home matchup with the Red Sox next weekend.

Wesneski (5-2) took the loss against the Rays on Sunday, allowing seven runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over three innings.

Wesneski yielded three runs in the first inning and was burned by a three-run homer following a two-out error in the third. It ends a string of strong outings for the 28-year-old, who allowed just four earned runs over his previous four turns, with two quality starts. He'll take a 3.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 38:16 K:BB across 48.2 innings this season into a home matchup with Atlanta next weekend.

Lewis was removed from Sunday's game against the Guardians due to left shoulder soreness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

Lewis went 0-for-2 before being replaced at first base for the top of the sixth inning. The severity of the injury isn't clear, so the 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day until the team updates his status.
