Lambert picked up the save Sunday against the Guardians, working around a hit in a scoreless inning.

After the White Sox rallied to take the lead in the ninth inning, Lambert came in to protect a two-run advantage in the bottom half of the frame, closing out the Guardians to earn his first career save. It was just Lambert's second appearance since he was recalled from Triple-A earlier in the week. The 28-year-old right-hander now sports a 5.60 ERA with a 1.68 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB across 27.1 innings this season. The back of the White Sox bullpen is certainly a question mark, though Lambert still seems an unlikely option for regular save opportunities.

Lopez (personal) was placed on the bereavement list Sunday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Lopez recently had a death in the family, so he'll step away from the team for a few days. Players can be on the bereavement list for 3-to-7 days, so the right-hander should be back with the Angels sometime this week.

Headrick was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Headrick has spent the past month at Triple-A but will rejoin the major-league roster for Sunday's series finale versus Arizona. The left-hander has a 5.40 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 18:7 K:BB over 15 innings for Minnesota this season.

Moran was optioned to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Moran recorded nine holds early in the season for Minnesota but will head down to Triple-A after giving up six runs in his past four outings. Brent Headrick was recalled from St. Paul in a corresponding move.

May (3-4) recorded the win against the Giants on Saturday, firing 1.2 perfect innings during which he recorded a strikeout.

May impressively needed only 20 pitches to record his five outs, flummoxing the Giants over the last inning-plus. The right-hander hit his stride in mid-June and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down -- he boasts eight saves, a hold, a 1.29 ERA and a 0.6 HR/9 across the 14 innings covering his last 14 appearances, a stretch that's lowered his ERA from 7.04 to 4.30.

Zerpa (0-1) allowed four runs on five hits and struck out one without walking a batter over three innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Phillies.

Zerpa gave up a three-run home run and an RBI double to Trea Turner, which was enough to flip the game around in Philadelphia's favor. This was Zerpa's second major-league appearance of the season -- he tossed two scoreless innings versus the Mets on Wednesday. For now, it appears he'll provide a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. It's unclear if he'll be able to stretch out enough in that role to pick up starts down the stretch.

The Rays recalled Beeks from Triple-A Durham on Sunday.

Beeks will provide Tampa Bay with a much-needed fresh arm in relief while the Rays likely treat Sunday's series finale in Detroit as a bullpen day with right-hander Erasmo Ramirez making a spot start in place of the injured Tyler Glasnow (back). Over his 27 appearances with Tampa Bay this season, Beeks has posted a 6.27 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 37.1 innings.

Mushinski was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

The left-hander was called up from Sugar Land on July 23 and made four appearances during this two-week stint in the majors, allowing one run on four hits with five strikeouts and a walk over 5.1 innings. Mushinski has pitched to a 2.79 ERA in eight outings overall for Houston this season, so he'll likely receive another chance in the big-league bullpen down the stretch.

Jacques was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Jacques has a 5.85 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 20 innings this season and will head back to Triple-A on Sunday. Nick Robertson, who joined the Red Sox in the Enrique Hernandez trade, was promoted from Worcester in a corresponding move.

Robertson was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

The 25-year-old was acquired from the Dodgers in the Enrique Hernandez trade in late July and was immediately optioned to Worcester. Robertson has given up seven earned runs with 13 strikeouts over 10.1 frames in his first taste of the big leagues this year, though he's pitched well at Triple-A with a 2.87 ERA, 1.12 HIP and 46:10 K:BB over 31.1 innings.
