The White Sox claimed Ramirez off waivers from the Pirates on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Ramirez was designated for assignment Friday despite holding a decent 3.67 ERA and 31:14 K:BB through 34.1 innings of relief this season with Pittsburgh. The 28-year-old right-hander could get a look in Chicago's bullpen down the stretch but will head to Triple-A Charlotte for now.

Voth cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

Voth is no longer on the Orioles' 40-man roster but has accepted the outright assignment and will join Norfolk's roster as swingman depth. He holds a 5.19 ERA through 34.2 innings in the majors in 2023.

Perez (1-2) took the extra-inning loss against the Blue Jays on Monday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits over one-third of an inning.

A day after securing his first major-league victory, Perez fell apart when asked to preserve a 3-3 tie upon entering in the 10th. The left-hander got into immediate trouble by surrendering an RBI double and a run-scoring single to Santiago Espinal and Cavan Biggio, respectively, and he was ultimately charged with an additional run after exiting. The stumble snapped the 26-year-old's season-high three-appearance scoreless streak and pushed his ERA back up to an ugly 6.75 across 10.2 innings.

Rosenberg (0-1) took the loss against Baltimore on Monday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over six innings.

Rosenberg got his first start of the season and fared pretty well, yielding just three runs -- all in the third inning -- to finish with the first quality start of his brief big-league career. The Angels' offense was unable to reward him for it, however, and the southpaw also ended up with his first major-league loss. The Angels are short on starting pitching depth with Shohei Ohtani's elbow injury keeping him from pitching again this season, Chase Silseth on the concussion IL and Lucas Giolito recently claimed off waivers by Cleveland, so Rosenberg could stick as a starter for a bit, especially if Los Angeles continues to deploy a six-man rotation.

Cano earned a save against the Angels on Monday with a perfect ninth inning.

Cano came on in the ninth with a three-run cushion. He didn't need much time to close out the contest, retiring the side in order on just eight pitches. Since Felix Bautista landed on the injured list Aug. 26 with a UCL injury, Cano has notched both of Baltimore's saves. He's allowed just one earned run over 4.1 frames since Bautista went down and will likely continue to work as the team's top ninth-inning option for the foreseeable future.

Stanek suffered a right ankle injury during his relief appearance in Monday's game against the Rangers, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports. He failed to record an out and surrendered one earned run on two hits prior to his departure.

Stanek went down hard after covering first base, and he was eventually carted off the field. The Astros will likely re-evaluate him after the game before providing a diagnosis of his injury, but if Stanek is forced to miss significant time, it would be a significant loss to the Houston bullpen. He's posted a 1.86 ERA and 0.62 WHIP with a 9:0 K:BB over his last 10 appearances heading into Monday.

Stewart (elbow) will throw a 25-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

He threw a 15-pitch bullpen session last weekend, so it's been a steady progression for Stewart. The 31-year-old righty has been out since late June with elbow tendinitis and an ensuing setback in his recovery, but he's still got a chance to make it all the way back this season.

Swanson (back) will throw off a mound Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

It will be his first time throwing from the bump since he went down with thoracic spine inflammation in late August. Swanson is eligible for activation on Sept. 11 and should be able to return then, barring any setbacks.

The Red Sox claimed Gillaspie off waivers from the Orioles on Monday, Chad Jennings of The Athletic reports.

Gillaspie will join Boston's 40-man roster but will report to Triple-A Worcester for now. The right-hander has permitted six earned runs on 14 hits and five walks in nine innings at the big-league level this season with the Orioles.

Snead was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

Snead holds a 4.63 ERA and 9:6 K:BB over 11.2 relief innings for the Athletics this season. His roster spot is being absorbed by Luis Medina (blister), who is coming off the injured list.
