The Tigers optioned Misiewicz to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

Misiewicz was called up from Triple-A on Tuesday and surrendered three runs over just one-third of an inning, inflating his ERA to 8.64 through 8.1 frames. Garrett Hill was recalled from Toledo to replace Misiewicz in Detroit's bullpen.

Rodriguez (shoulder) will make a rehab appearance for Double-A Portland on Thursday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Rodriguez will pitch on the road against New Hampshire. The left-hander has made three total rehab appearances while recovering from his left shoulder inflammation, and if things go well Thursday, there's a chance he could rejoin the Boston bullpen over the weekend.

Cox is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The rookie left-hander looks like he'll get a chance to nail down a rotation spot after a brilliant start to his big-league career while working out of the bullpen. In his first 12.1 innings with the Royals, Cox has yet to allow a run while striking out 13, and he even retired 39 batters before ceding his first two hits in his most recent outing last Thursday in Tampa Bay. The Royals are unlikely to turn Cox loose for more than five innings Wednesday unless he's economical with his pitch count, so he'll still carry an element of risk as a streaming option even while facing off against a weak Cleveland lineup.

Hamilton (groin) was activated off the 15-day injured list by the Yankees on Wednesday

Hamilton missed close to six weeks while dealing with a right groin strain. The right-hander was pitching effectively prior to the injury with a 1.23 ERA and 30:9 K:BB over 22 innings in his 16 appearances. He'll be a late-inning option for the New York bullpen now that he's healthy enough to help.

Henriquez (oblique) was activated from the minor-league injured list Wednesday at Triple-A St. Paul, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Henriquez has made only 13 relief appearances this season in the minors due to elbow and oblique troubles, but he's been cleared to return to action with the Triple-A affiliate of the Twins and could eventually get another look in the majors if his health cooperates. The 23-year-old registered a 2.31 ERA with nine strikeouts across his first 11.2 big-league innings in 2022.

Sands (shoulder) is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Sands had posted a 0.73 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 12.1 innings of relief for the Twins before he landed on the injured list in early June due to a right shoulder impingement. He could be an option again for the Minnesota bullpen sometime next week.

Lamet signed a minor-league contract Tuesday with the Red Sox.

Lamet was cut loose by the Rockies last week after struggling to an 11.57 ERA in four starts and 12 relief appearances covering 25.2 innings. The 30-year-old former Padres prospect still has intriguing raw stuff, but it's been a while now since he enjoyed sustained success at the major-league level. He'll report to the Triple-A affiliate of the Red Sox in Worcester.

Jimenez (shoulder) threw from 90 feet on flat ground Tuesday, the team's official site reports.

Jimenez's stay on the injured list has now exceeded two months, but the right-hander's recovery does seem to be gathering some momentum. Jimenez had been throwing from 60 feet in early June, so the increase in distance without apparent setbacks is encouraging. However, he remains without a timetable for return at the moment, and a fairly lengthy rehab assignment will be in order before activation is considered.

Gott (0-3) took the extra-innings loss against the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits and a walk across one inning.

Tasked with preserving a 4-4 tie when he entered in the 11th inning, Gott, who'd been activated from the injured list prior to Tuesday's game, nearly escaped unscathed but allowed a two-out, two-run double to Lane Thomas and an RBI single to Luis Garcia. Those three runs proved the difference in the game, handing the righty a loss. He also conceded five earned runs on four hits over one inning against the Rangers on June 4 in his last outing before going on the IL, and with that, Gott has seen what was once a 1.75 ERA quickly balloon to 3.90.

Stephan (4-3) allowed an unearned run on one hit and struck out one over one inning to earn the win Tuesday over the Royals.

Stephan was briefly on the hook for the loss after giving up a run in the eighth inning, but the Guardians scored twice in the ninth to put him in line for the win. He's given up an unearned run in two straight outings, but it's been 9.2 innings since he surrendered an earned run. The setup man has a 2.12 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 39:11 K:BB with two saves, 12 holds and four blown saves over 34 innings this season.
