Lambert was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Lambert posted a 2.00 ERA in 9.0 innings over seven appearances in June, but he will cede his roster spot to the returning Liam Hendiks. Lambert figures to garner consideration next time the White Sox need to bring up a pitcher from the minor-league ranks.

Hendriks (forearm) was activated from the injured list Monday.

Hendriks said Friday that he would return to action Monday, and he will indeed do just that. While an official announcement was not made, it seems likely he will immediately reclaim the closer's role for the White Sox.

Paredes was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.

Paredes was called up by the Astros on June 26, and he made three relief appearances during his week on the major-league roster. He allowed a run while striking out two in three innings but will head back to the minors after Jake Odorizzi (lower leg) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Bolanos cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.

Bolanos lost his spot on the Royals' 40-man roster last week but will remain in Omaha after going unclaimed on waivers. Over nine appearances (four starts) in the minors this year, he's posted a 5.49 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 19.2 innings.

Garcia (back) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with Triple-A Buffalo.

Garcia landed on the injured list in late June with a sore back, but it did not take him long to recover. Given that he has only been out a couple weeks, he may not need to appear in more than a game or two before rejoining the major-league roster.

Astros general manager James Click said Sunday that Mushinski (elbow) could begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land during the upcoming week, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Mushinski has been on the 15-day injured list since June 7 with left elbow discomfort and will likely need at least two appearances in the minors before he's deemed ready to rejoin the big-league bullpen. Prior to being shelved with the injury, Mushinski covered 6.1 innings and gave up three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out eight across his six relief appearances for Houston.

Feyereisen (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

Feyereisen was placed on the 15-day injured list in early June, and he'll be unavailable until at least the first week of August following Monday's transaction. The right-hander has been building arm strength recently, but the bone bruise in his shoulder hasn't yet fully healed. A better idea of his return timetable should come into focus once he resumes a throwing program.

Fleming was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Monday.

Fleming was sent to Durham in early May, and he worked mainly as a starter with the minor-league club. The southpaw posted a 2.36 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 45.2 innings over eight appearances (seven starts) at the Triple-A level. He should serve as a multi-inning option out of the Rays' bullpen and will be a candidate to serve as a bulk reliever behind opener Jalen Beeks during Monday's bullpen game against Boston.

Guerra was returned to Triple-A Durham on Monday.

Guerra served as a replacement player for the Rays during their five-game series in Toronto since several of the team's relievers were unavailable due to their vaccination statuses. He allowed a run on two hits and two walks while failing to strike out a batter in one inning during his lone relief appearance and will head back to the minors now that the Rays are returning to the United States.

Raley (personal) was reinstated from the restricted list Monday.

Raley was unavailable for the Rays' five-game series in Toronto due to being unvaccinated, but he'll rejoin the team for its upcoming series in Boston. Over his last nine appearances, the southpaw has earned a save and a hold while striking out 14 in 10 scoreless innings.
