Sborz (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Sborz began a rehab assignment in Round Rock on Thursday and struck out one in a scoreless inning. The 28-year-old has now recovered from his right elbow soreness, but he'll remain with the minor-league club for now.

Iglesias allowed two runs on three hits and a walk in Sunday's win over the White Sox. He struck out one batter.

Iglesias entered the game with one out and a runner on second. After striking out the first batter he faced, the 32-year-old put the next five White Sox on base. His outing was finished after he plunked Jose Abreu with the bases loaded, but Ryan Tepera was able to notch the one-out save to escape with the victory. Iglesias saw his season ERA jump from 0.96 to 2.79 through 9.2 frames.

Fleming (2-3) was charged with the loss Sunday against Minnesota after surrendering six runs (five earned) on five hits across 3.2 innings. He had one strikeout and three walks.

The left-hander threw 53 of his 77 pitches for strikes and delivered first-pitch strikes to 16 of the 19 hitters he faced, but he was unable to take advantage of that success early in the count. Fleming issued only three walks over his first four outings of the season, but he doubled that total Sunday. It's been tough going early in the campaign with a 6.32 ERA and 1.85 WHIP across 15.2 innings. The 25-year-old lines up to pitch next weekend in Seattle, though it's unclear if Tampa Bay will utilize him as a traditional starter or have him follow an opener.

Francis was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

Francis was called up by Toronto on Saturday, but he didn't make any appearances during his stint with the big-league club. He'll head back to the minors since the Blue Jays need to trim their active roster to 26 players by Monday.

Winder (1-0) earned the win Sunday at Tampa Bay after striking out seven over six scoreless innings. He allowed only two hits and one walk.

The 25-year-old pitched in long relief his first three appearances of the year, but he made his first big-league start Sunday and shut down the Rays. Winder threw 54 of his 83 pitches for strikes and allowed only one baserunner to reach second base. Despite the impressive performance, the young right-hander may be headed back to the bullpen since Sonny Gray (hamstring) made a rehab start Sunday and could return from the injured list this week.

Jackson fired 1.2 scoreless innings in a loss to the Guardians on Saturday, allowing a walk while recording three strikeouts.

The rookie now has five scoreless appearances in his last six trips to the mound, recording four consecutive multi-strikeout efforts in the process. Jackson has also tallied four holds alongside his 2.79 ERA and 12.1 K/9, making him a rewarding early-season find for fantasy managers.

The Angels recalled Rosenberg from Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Rosenberg will give the Angels a long-relief option out of the bullpen for Sunday's game against the White Sox after starting pitcher Jose Suarez -- who was optioned to Salt Lake in a corresponding move -- lasted only four innings in Saturday's 4-0 loss. Jaime Barria covered three innings following Suarez's departure and likely won't be available for the next couple of days, though he could slot into the rotation next weekend when Suarez's turn comes up again. Assuming that's the case, Rosenberg doesn't look like he'll have much fantasy value while he's limited to low-leverage mop-up duties.

Sandlin (1-1) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win Saturday versus the Athletics.

Sandlin worked the eighth inning, and the Guardians took a lead on Richie Palacios' two-run double in the ninth. Over his last 3.1 innings, Sandlin has allowed just one hit with three strikeouts. A couple of bad outings early on inflated his ratios to a 4.70 ERA and 0.91 WHIP, but he's also picked up three holds in eight appearances. He'll be part of the high-leverage mix as long as he can keep poor performances to a minimum.

Jimenez (1-1) took the loss Saturday as the A's were downed 3-1 by the Guardians, giving up two unearned runs on two hits in the ninth inning.

Entering a 1-1 game, Jimenez saw the Oakland infield mess up two potential inning-ending double plays to set up a two-run double by pinch hitter Richie Palacios. The right-hander still has a 0.00 ERA, but he hasn't struck out a batter in his last three appearances and topped out at 93.9 mph with his fastball after touching 96 earlier this month. Lou Trivino (illness) is set to begin a rehab assignment Sunday, and other arms in the A's bullpen are dealing right now, notably A.J. Puk, so Jimenez's opportunity to lock down the ninth-inning gig could be slipping away.

Lopez (2-1) walked one and struck out one in two innings to earn the win Saturday over the Red Sox.

Lopez worked the ninth and 10th innings. He pitched well to put the Orioles in line to win on an error in the bottom of the 10th. The right-hander has surrendered runs in only one of his 10 appearances this season. He owns a 1.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 14:6 K:BB and four saves across 11.1 innings as the Orioles' primary closer.
