Lorenzen allowed one run on three hits and struck out one over four relief innings in Sunday's 7-3 loss to Toronto.

After getting chased by the Blue Jays on Saturday, when he lasted two-thirds of an inning (40 pitches), Lorenzen volunteered to pitch Sunday following starter Jon Gray's (groin) removal without throwing a pitch. He gave the Rangers 55 pitches and saved the bullpen. With the team having a day off Thursday, Lorenzen is expected to remain Friday's scheduled starter against Boston.

DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Sunday against the Mariners.

DeJong blasted a two-run homer in the seventh inning for his 18th home run of the season. That extended his hitting streak to four games, during which he has three extra-base hits, the other two being doubles. DeJong is a potential trade candidate, but the White Sox are giving him near-everyday playing time for the time being at a combination of third base and shortstop.

Fermin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Cubs.

Fermin has gone 6-for-19 with two extra-base hits over his last six games. The catcher's playing time has remained limited despite his recent good form at the plate. For the season, he's up to five homers, 24 RBI, 29 runs scored, 10 doubles and a .294/.344/.423 slash line over 65 contests. Fermin is good for two or three games per week between catcher and designated hitter.

Correa (heel) participated in limited hitting drills Saturday and worked out on a treadmill, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He could soon progress to running on the field.

Correa was placed on the 10-day injured list July 20 due to right plantar fasciitis. He had been wearing a boot on his right foot, so he's making progress. It sounds like he could still be a week or more away from starting a rehab assignment.

The Tigers are expected to call up Dingler from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Dingler will join the Tigers in Detroit ahead of a two-game set against the Guardians for what will be his first stint in the big leagues. The 25-year-old produced an impressive .308 average with 17 home runs, 52 RBI, 44 runs scored and five stolen bases over 301 plate appearances with Toledo this season. With the Tigers trading away Carson Kelly on Sunday, Dingler will compete with Jake Rogers for No. 1 catching duties with the big-league club.

Miller (8-7) allowed three runs on seven hits over 6.1 innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the White Sox.

Miller held the White Sox to one run through six frames before coughing up a two-run shot to Paul DeJong in the seventh inning. Miller has shown great command over the last several weeks, posting a 37:7 K:BB across his last 46.2 innings. He's issued just three free passes over his last six starts. Miller owns a 3.46 ERA with a 109:29 K:BB through 122.1 innings this season. He's currently lined up for a tough home matchup with the Phillies next weekend.

Munoz walked one batter in a scoreless inning and picked up a save against the White Sox on Sunday.

Munoz struggled with his command a bit after Saturday's four-out save; he threw 11 of 20 pitches for strikes but still finished off the 6-3 win. He extended his scoreless streak to 10.1 innings and is now 18 for 21 in save chances this season. Munoz lowered his ERA to 1.28 alongside a 51:19 K:BB through 42.1 frames.

Crochet (6-8) yielded five runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk over three innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against Seattle.

Crochet served up a two-run homer to Cal Raleigh in the first inning and never found his groove. Crochet was handed his second straight loss and has not earned a win since June 7. While he's reportedly still expected to receive a "normal workload," he's totaled just 13 innings through four starts this month. During that stretch, he's produced a 4.85 ERA while averaging just under 65 pitches per start. Crochet owns a 3.23 ERA with a terrific 160:26 K:BB through 114.1 innings this season. He's tentatively lined up to start in Minnesota next weekend, though the upcoming trade deadline could change those plans.

Raleigh went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

After snapping a nine-game homerless skid Saturday, Raleigh belted a two-run shot in the first inning Sunday. It was his 22nd of the year and 8th in 22 appearances this month. Raleigh later knocked an RBI single in the fourth inning. He's hitting .259 (21-for-81) in July, raising his season slash line to .216/.302/.434 with 32 extra-base hits and 66 RBI through 101 games.

Ragans (7-7) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Cubs.

Ragans gave up a pair of runs in the third inning followed by two more in the sixth. He took his first loss since June 29 and broke a three-game streak of quality starts. However, he forced 17 whiffs Sunday, including 11 with his changeup. Ragans is sporting a 3.37 ERA with a 153:41 K:BB through 22 starts this season. His next outing is expected to be in Detroit.
