The White Sox recalled Foster from Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Foster made two scoreless appearances last month during his first stint in the big leagues since he had Tommy John surgery in August 2023. The right-hander will offer interim manager Grady Sizemore a fresh relief arm after he used his bullpen to cover 4.2 innings in Monday's loss to the Orioles.

The White Sox designated Toussaint for assignment Tuesday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Toussaint was touched up for four runs over 2.2 innings and 68 pitches in Monday's loss to the Orioles. He wasn't going to be available for at least a day or two, so the White Sox will replace him with a fresh relief arm.

Harvey (back) threw a bullpen session Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Harvey was shut down for a bit after experiencing a setback with his back injury, but he's made enough progress to resume throwing. The reliever has missed nearly a month of action and might require a rehab appearance or two before rejoining the Royals bullpen.

Renfroe (hamstring) hit on the field and ran the bases at Kauffman Stadium on Monday, MLB.com reports.

The Royals have yet to decide whether Renfroe will go out on a rehab assignment, but regardless, he is tracking toward a return from the 10-day injured list as soon as this weekend, just a few days after he's first eligible for activation. Renfroe has seen virtually all of his playing time this season in right field, but with Tommy Pham recently being added to the roster and with Vinnie Pasquantino (thumb) out for the season, the Royals could consider using Renfroe some at first base, where he has a bit of experience.

Rivas entered Monday's loss to the Athletics as a pinch runner in the top of the eighth inning and recorded a stolen base.

Rivas swiped third on Dylan Moore's swinging strikeout, but he was left stranded 90 feet away from home plate when Mitch Haniger also went down on strikes to close out the frame. Rivas was out of the starting nine for the fourth time in the five games since J.P. Crawford's activation from the injured list, and although the latter is struggling at the plate, Rivas figures to continue seeing only intermittent playing time for the foreseeable future.

Alexander (shoulder) came away from Monday's live batting practice session feeling healthy, MLB.com reports.

The veteran left-hander continued to make steady progress Monday, with the live BP session coming on the heels of a successful bullpen Friday. Alexander's next step is almost certainly a rehab assignment, with a decision on that front likely coming by Wednesday.

Adams (forearm) is scheduled to throw bullpen sessions Tuesday and Friday, MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has been on the shelf for just over two weeks, having hit the IL on Aug. 18. The Athletics will wait to see how Adams emerges from the two bullpen sessions before a decision is made on whether to send him on a rehab assignment for the tail end of the minor-league season. Adams has been a valuable sixth- and seventh-inning option for manager Mark Kotsay all season, making 56 appearances and recording a win and 22 holds along the way.

Voth (2-5) took the loss against the Athletics on Monday, allowing a game-winning solo home run to the only batter he faced.

Voth dueled with Shea Langeliers for six pitches to open the bottom of the ninth in a 4-4 tie, and the backstop ultimately got the better of the battle when he launched a 418-foot shot to left field to walk it off for the Athletics.The homer was the second allowed by Voth in his last five outings and snapped a three-appearance scoreless streak that had temporarily lowered the right-hander's ERA to under 3.00. Despite the stumble Monday, Voth retains an impressive 3.13 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 61 appearances, numbers he's complemented with 13 holds.

Ferguson (3-2) got the win against the Mariners on Monday, striking out the side in a perfect ninth inning.

Ferguson retired Victor Robles, J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez on swinging strikeouts and needed just 12 pitches to do so. Ferguson then was rewarded for his pristine work when the Athletics walked it off in the bottom of the ninth with Shea Langeliers' solo home run, which afforded Ferguson his second win in the last three appearances. Ferguson clearly has the stuff to work in high-leverage, late-inning spots whenever closer Mason Miller is unavailable, which was the case Monday after Miller threw 34 pitches in a rough 1.2-inning outing Sunday.

Ginn is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Mariners in Oakland.

Ginn will receive a second turn through the rotation after he surrendered four runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four across five innings in his first MLB start this past Thursday in Cincinnati. The Athletics will likely give the 25-year-old right-hander some runway in a starting role during September as he looks to make a case for a permanent spot in the big-league rotation in 2025.
