Bibee (4-13) took the loss against the Padres on Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out three.

Although Bibee served up a pair of solo home runs, he was still able to manage a quality start Sunday. The right-hander now leads the major leagues in losses this season, but he's worked at least five innings in seven consecutive outings and in 13 of his last 14. Bibee has a shaky 4.01 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 117:43 K:BB over 150.1 innings, and he'll be tough to trust in fantasy leagues at hitter-friendly Colorado in his next scheduled start.

Ibanez and the Mariners agreed on a minor-league contract Sunday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Ibanez was released by the Mets on Thursday, and it took only a few days for him to find his next opportunity. The 33-year-old has gone 2-for-23 with five RBI and one run scored over 23 at-bats in 14 contests with the Athletics and Mets this season. Ibanez batted .269 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 15 runs scored over 31 games with Triple-A Syracuse, and he will report to Triple-A Tacoma with his new organization.

Bello is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind left-hander Alec Gamboa in Monday's game against the Diamondbacks at Fenway Park, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Gamboa has served as a swingman at Triple-A Worcester for a good chunk of the season and is capable of offering more length than the typical opener, but he might be capped at around one or two frames Monday since he'll be pitching on two days' rest after tossing three innings and 36 pitches in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Pirates. As a result, look for Bello -- who last pitched Aug. 9 -- to be called upon to provide length behind Gamboa. Bello has been hit hard over his eight starts this season, but he's been lights out in 10 relief appearances, pitching to an 0.75 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 42:6 K:BB across 48 innings. The 27-year-old righty could be a worthy streaming option Monday for fantasy managers looking to make up ground in the wins category.

Sandoval (1-2) took the loss Sunday against the Pirates, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out six.

The Pirates got to Sandoval early Sunday, scoring twice in the first inning before putting up a five spot in the fifth. Coming into the day, Sandoval had held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his previous four outings, posting a 2.61 ERA across 20.2 innings in that span. Sandoval's ERA now sits at 4.76 through seven starts (34 innings) this year with a 1.85 WHIP and 35:16 K:BB. The southpaw will look to bounce back his next time out, currently scheduled to come next weekend at home against the Giants.

Soroka didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

In two starts since returning from a nearly two-month stint on the IL, Soroka has allowed just two runs on nine hits over 10 innings. Overall, the right-hander is 8-3 with a 2.93 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 88:21 K:BB across 17 starts (92 innings) this season. Soroka is tentatively in line to face the Reds at home his next time out.

Iglesias earned the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over Arizona despite allowing a run on a hit and a walk in the ninth inning.

Tasked with protecting a three-run lead in the ninth, Iglesias found himself in some trouble after giving up a walk and a single to open the frame. However, the veteran closer managed to hold the Diamondbacks to one run to earn his 25th save this season. Iglesias has been a bit shaky of late, giving up six runs in his last 5.2 innings. Still, he sports a solid 3.15 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB across 45.2 innings this year.

Elder allowed a run on four hits and a walk across six innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He struck out five.

Elder held Arizona to a lone run on Gabriel Moreno's solo homer in the fourth inning, logging his fourth quality start in his last six outings. It was an especially encouraging performance from Elder after he gave up seven runs on 10 hits across five innings against the Mets his last time out. Overall, Elder's ERA sits at 3.92 across 24 starts (137.2 innings) this season with a 1.23 WHIP and 113:46 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the Brewers on the road his next time out.

Rogers (8-8) earned the win Sunday over the Rays, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.

Rogers was sharp Sunday, holding Tampa Bay to a Ryan Vilade solo homer in the fourth inning before giving up a second run with two outs in the sixth. Rogers has now held opponents to two runs or fewer in 10 of his last 11 outings -- he's posted a 2.33 ERA in that span (65.2 innings). The southpaw now sports a 4.15 ERA across 23 starts (125.2 innings) this season with a 1.25 WHIP and 108:35 K:BB. Rogers is tentatively lined up for a rematch with the Rays at home in his next outing.

Double-A Somerset placed Jackson on its 7-day injured list Sunday due to an unspecified injury.

Jackson presumably sustained an injury Saturday, when he went 2-for-3 with two walks, two stolen bases, two runs and an RBI. The 22-year-old shortstop prospect has gone 5-for-17 with four walks, four steals, five RBI and four runs in five games for Somerset since receiving a promotion from High-A Hudson Valley on Tuesday.

Peralta (5-10) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on one hit and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

After Peralta held Baltimore scoreless through his first four innings, the Rays turned to the bullpen with two outs and two on in the fifth. Garrett Cleavinger then gave up back-to-back hits, allowing both inherited runners to score and sticking Peralta with his 10th loss of the year. Through three starts with Tampa, Peralta has given up 12 runs across 14.1 innings. Overall, his ERA sits at 5.27 with a 1.48 WHIP and 123:53 K:BB across 25 starts (128 innings) between the Rays and Mets this season. Peralta is currently in line for a rematch with the Orioles on the road his next time out.
