Gil came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mets, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six.

After a rough stretch in late June and early July, Gil has turned things around and given up just one run in each of his last three outings while delivering a 22:2 K:BB over 17.2 innings. The 26-year-old right-hander's stumble came after he topped 100 pitches for the first time June 14 against the Red Sox, so expect the Yankees to keep a close eye on his workload the rest of the way. Gil lines up to make his next start on the road early next week in Philadelphia.

Rengifo (wrist) went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Mariners.

Rengifo returned to the lineup for the first time since July 3 and provided a clutch piece of hitting with a two-run single in the fifth to extend the Angels' lead to 5-0. Though he missed some time with a wrist injury, Rengifo has 12 hits and seven RBI over his last eight games and is slashing .314/.357/.439 with six homers, 27 RBI, 36 runs, 22 steals and a 13:36 BB:K in 273 plate appearances this season. His power numbers are down compared to his past two years (33 homers combined), but he's on pace for a career high in average and his 22 steals are more than what he accumulated over his previous five seasons combined (18).

Gray (5-4) picked up the win Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing one run on four hits and no walks across 7.2 innings. He struck out five.

Gray finished off Tuesday's start by retiring 15 consecutive batters and pitched into the eighth inning on 80 pitches before being pulled. The outing marked Gray's first time exceeding six innings pitched since May 15. While he hasn't been a great source of strikeouts, notching 78 Ks in 94 innings, the veteran righty has been a reliable option, owning a 3.73 ERA and 1.26 WHIP. He's on track to close out a two-start week Sunday in Toronto.

Soriano (6-7) got the win over the Mariners on Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out five over 7.2 innings.

Soriano faced off against the Mariners for the second time in 10 days and was even better Tuesday night. His only troublesome inning was in the fifth when he allowed a leadoff double followed by a walk, but he was able to get out of the jam with only one run allowed. Tuesday's outing marked just the third time this season he's pitched more than seven innings and he's now given up two runs or fewer in four of his last six starts. The hard-throwing righty lowered his ERA to 3.51 to complement a 1.17 WHIP and 77:37 K:BB in 95 innings. He'll aim to pick up his third straight win when he faces the Athletics over the weekend.

Crochet (6-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks across four innings. He struck out seven.

Crochet threw only 74 pitches Tuesday, a result of the White Sox monitoring his workload down the stretch of the 25-year-old's first season as a starter. Both runs attributed to Crochet came in the first inning, with Adolis Garcia plating Robbie Grossman on a single and Josh Smith stealing home during a double steal. Crochet hasn't gone deeper than four innings in his last three starts, and he's logged a 3.07 ERA with 157 strikeouts in 111.1 innings on the year. The left-hander is tentatively scheduled to face the Mariners on Sunday.

Refsnyder went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-0 win over Colorado.

Refsnyder made a second consecutive start after being scratched from Sunday's starting lineup. The outfielder is 3-for-9 with a double and three RBI in the first two games of the series. With a right-hander (Cal Quantrill) scheduled to throw for the Rockies on Wednesday, Refsnyder could take a seat for the series finale.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Martin (elbow) could resume throwing this weekend, MLB.com reports.

Martin felt discomfort in the shoulder while playing catch and had his throwing program halted prior to the All-Star break. That the right-hander is making progress is significant, given the bullpen's recent performance -- it's blown five leads so far in the second half. When healthy, Martin is a key setup piece for closer Kenley Jansen.

Devers experienced shoulder discomfort after attempting a diving stop on a grounder in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Rockies, but he was able to stay in and finish the game, MLB.com reports. He went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, an RBI and a run in the victory.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said the shoulder was jammed and noted Devers took some "vicious hacks" later in the game. Cora added Devers would be ready to go for Wednesday's series finale.

Bloss (0-1) took the loss in Tuesday's game against the Athletics, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over four innings.

Bloss did not fare well against a hot Athletics lineup. He began by allowing a leadoff triple before Brent Rooker took him deep to put the Astros in an early 2-0 hole. Lawrence Butler was next to homer off him in the third before Seth Brown and Zack Gelof went back-to-back in the fourth. Bloss hasn't been able to cover more than four innings in any of his three starts since getting promoted just over a month ago and he'll likely see his time in the bigs temporarily come to an end next week once Justin Verlander (neck) returns from the injured list. Bloss has a 6.94 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB in 11.2 innings.

DeGrom (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is expected to throw another Friday, MLB.com reports.

DeGrom is estimated to have thrown between 40 and 45 pitches with three up-and-downs Tuesday, with manager Bruce Bochy noting that the right-hander's fastball checked in at around 94 or 95 miles per hour. Following Friday's session, deGrom will throw a few live batting practice sessions before likely going out on a rehab assignment.
