Ryan Pressly RP | CHC
Astros' Ryan Pressly: Earns save No. 27
Pressly (undisclosed) picked up the save in Tuesday's 7-6 win over Baltimore. He struck out one over a perfect inning.
After getting the day off Sunday, Pressly was back in action Tuesday and tossed a perfect inning for his 27th save of the campaign. After allowing one or more runs in four of his previous seven appearances, Pressly has rattled off four consecutive shutout frames. Despite the rest day, fantasy managers should expect Pressly to be fully healthy moving forward while he currently boasts the sixth-most saves in baseball and dons a 2.98 ERA through 51.1 innings of work.

Rays' Jalen Beeks: Draws start for bullpen game
Beeks will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Wednesday will mark the eighth start of the season for Beeks, who holds a 6.27 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through 37.1 frames on the season. The Rays are already planning on Wednesday's contest being a bullpen game, so Beeks will likely remain in the contest only for an inning or two.

Trey Wingenter RP | CHC
Tigers' Trey Wingenter: Promoted to big leagues
The Tigers recalled Wingenter from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Wingenter will come up from Triple-A to take the spot of Jason Foley, who was placed on the bereavement list Tuesday. Wingenter has bounced between the minors and majors all season and holds a 6.48 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through 8.1 innings with the Tigers.

Freddy Tarnok RP | MIA
Athletics' Freddy Tarnok: Working in bulk role Wednesday
Tarnok will serve as the primary pitcher for the Athletics on Wednesday against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
The Athletics will likely deploy an opener in front of him, but Tarnok is slated to work multiple innings Wednesday and profiles as the Oakland pitcher most likely to factor into any decision. The 24-year-old right-hander has posted a 6.75 ERA and 10:9 K:BB through 10.2 major-league frames this season. He looks like he could get a spin in the No. 5 spot in the rotation after Oakland recently demoted Hogan Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Jordan Romano RP | COL
Blue Jays' Jordan Romano: Another bullpen Wednesday
Romano (back) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Romano resumed throwing off a mound over the weekend and has responded well so far. Out since late July due to lower-back inflammation, he could skip a minor-league rehab assignment and return to the Blue Jays' closer role when first eligible this Sunday. Erik Swanson and Jordan Hicks have largely been sharing ninth-inning duties in his absence.
