The Rangers recalled Santos from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The right-hander had two brief stints with Texas earlier this season and allowed two earned runs in two innings during his lone appearance. Santos is filling the roster spot vacated by Cal Quantrill (lat), who was placed on the injured list.

The Rangers placed Quantrill on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right lat strain, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Quantrill exited Saturday's start against the Blue Jays after 1.1 scoreless frames due to lat tightness, and the injury will sideline him for the final week of the regular season. It brings an early end to a resurgent campaign for the right-hander, who posted a 2.86 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 81:25 K:BB across 110 innings. The Rangers currently have a one-game advantage in the AL West, though it's unclear if Quantrill will be ready to return during a potential playoff run.

The White Sox optioned Murphy to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Murphy made four appearances after rejoining the big-league club Sept. 9. Over 33 games with the White Sox this season, Murphy is sporting a 3-0 record, 4.81 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 35:16 K:BB over 33.2 innings. With Huascar Brazoban (lat) returning from the 15-day IL, Murphy was the odd man out for an active roster spot.

The White Sox activated Brazoban (lat) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

After missing just under a month of action, Brazoban will rejoin the big-league club Sunday. Before being shelved, the right-hander posted a 6.30 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 5:6 K:BB over 10 innings since being acquired by the White Sox on Aug. 3. Chicago optioned Chris Murphy to Triple-A Charlotte to clear space on the active roster for Brazoban.

Boston optioned Olds to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Olds spent just under three weeks with the big-league club before being demoted Sunday. Through 13 games, the 26-year-old has posted a 1.20 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB over 15 innings. Boston reinstated Tyron Guerrero (shoulder) from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move.

The Red Sox activated Guerrero (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Sunday, per Ian Browne of MLB.com.

Guerrero will return to the big-league club after being sidelined since Sept. 1. Through 38 games this season, the 35-year-old owns a 3.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB over 38.2 innings. Boston optioned Wyatt Olds to Triple-A Worcester to make room for Guerrero on the active roster.

Arrighetti could be a candidate to pitch in bulk relief behind starter Spencer Miles in Sunday's game against the Rangers, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Considering that Miles hasn't tossed more than two innings or 44 pitches in an appearance since the beginning of August, he's unlikely to work more than once through the batting order. Arrighetti will be available on four days' rest and could be called upon to cover multiple frames. Since being acquired from the Astros on Aug. 3, Arrighetti has made six appearances (two starts) for Toronto and has submitted a 6.20 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

Crochet (shoulder) threw a two-inning side session Saturday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Crochet continues to build up in side sessions in the hopes he can help the Red Sox as a reliever over the final week of the regular season and into the playoffs. The left-hander could face hitters at Fenway Park early this week in advance of a potential return.

Montgomery (1-0) walked one and struck out one over 3.2 scoreless and hitless innings to earn the win over Toronto on Saturday.

Starter Cal Quantrill exited after four outs with lat tightness, necessitating another heavy lift from the Rangers' bullpen, which covered 4.2 innings a day earlier. Montgomery's effort extended his scoreless streak to 7.2 innings. After a couple of rough outings upon the left-hander's activation from the injured list in early August, he sports a 1.72 ERA and 0.57 WHIP over his last 15.2 relief innings. His ability to provide length may come in handy over the final week of the regular season as Texas tries to secure the AL West crown.

Fulmer (0-1) took the loss after allowing two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Fulmer entered for the bottom of the ninth in a 3-3 game and opened the frame by walking Ildemaro Vargas before giving up a walk-off, two-run blast to pinch hitter Pavin Smith. This was the Yankees' 11th walk-off loss of the season, and it also ended Fulmer's streak of five consecutive scoreless relief appearances. The veteran right-hander has a 1.38 ERA in 10 appearances with the Yankees.
