Dunning (4-5) took the loss Tuesday against the Dodgers, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings.

Dunning dug the Rangers an early 3-0 hole after surrendering a three-run homer to Will Smith in the first inning. He kept the Dodgers off the board the next two frames but loaded up the bases in the fourth before being replaced by Jonathan Hernandez with two outs. Hernandez gave up a double to Mookie Betts, which plated two runs that were charged to Dunning. He's now given up 14 runs (12 earned) over his last 17 innings and hasn't pitched more than five frames since April 28. The 29-year-old owns a 4.80 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 59:26 K:BB in 54.1 innings and will look to get back on track in a weekend start against Seattle.

Triple-A St. Paul reinstated Camargo (forearm) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Camargo started at catcher in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Louisville, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. The 24-year-old hadn't played for St. Paul since April 27 due to a right forearm strain but got the green light to rejoin the Triple-A club after going 9-for-26 with a home run, two doubles and three walks over seven rehab games between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Fort Myers.

Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

The lefty-hitting Kirilloff will begin the contest on the bench as the Rockies send southpaw Austin Gomber to the hill. The Twins will use Carlos Santana at first base in Kirilloff's stead.

Kepler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rockies.

With lefty Austin Gomber toeing the slab for the Rockies, the left-handed-hitting Kepler will get a breather. Manuel Margot will handle right field for the Twins.

Larnach isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

Southpaw Austin Gomber is starting for the Rockies, so the left-handed-hitting Larnach will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Willi Castro will occupy left field and Royce Lewis will serve as the Twins' designated hitter while Larnach and fellow lefty hitter Alex Kirilloff exit the lineup.

Jeffers is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

Jeffers started at catcher in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies, so he will get a breather for Wednesday's afternoon tilt. Christian Vazquez will be behind the plate for the rubber game of the series.

Suarez dropped to 1-1 on the season in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over 2.2 innings.

Suarez made his first start of the season Tuesday and didn't make a particularly compelling case to earn additional turns through the rotation. He allowed a pair of runs in the second after giving up two triples and a single, and Randal Grichuk would tack on a two-run blast in the third to spell an early end to Suarez's night. The 26-year-old's 7.08 ERA on the season is the second-highest in all of baseball among pitchers who have pitched at least 30 innings, trailing only Kyle Hendricks (9.07). If Chase Silseth (elbow) is ready to return from the 60-day injured list the next time Suarez's turn comes up Sunday in San Francisco, the latter will presumably head back to the bullpen.

Adam allowed one hit and struck out two across a scoreless eighth inning Tuesday against the Cubs.

Adam began the season effectively but had an elevated walk rate after issuing 11 free passes across his first 23 innings. However, in his last five appearances, he's maintained a 6:0 K:BB while allowing only one earned run. Overall, Adam leads the team with 11 holds and has also chipped in three saves.

Pressly struck two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Giants.

Pressly was called upon to close the game with Josh Hader unavailable after working the previous two days. The 35-year-old got Patrick Bailey to fly out before recording back-to-back punchouts to seal the deal. He now has two saves in the last week, though Tuesday's outing also comes on the heels of a blown save Sunday. Despite holding a 5.19 ERA on the year, it seems as though Pressly still has the advantage over Bryan Abreu for save opportunities when Hader is unavailable to pitch.

The Rangers outrighted Hill to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

While no longer on the Rangers' 40-man roster, Hill will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The outfielder went 2-for-9 at the plate during his brief stint in the big leagues earlier this season.
