Misiewicz was removed from Tuesday's game against the Dodgers with an apparent injury, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. He walked the lone batter he faced prior to exiting the contest.

Misiewicz's injury occurred during a replay review in the eighth inning of Tuesday's contest, but it's unclear what kind of injury he's dealing with or how it happened. The Twins will bring him in for a closer look and should provide some clarity on his status in the near future.

Williams picked up the save in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.

While Williams did allow the potential tying run to get aboard, he poured in 15 of his 19 pitches for strikes en route to nabbing his 15th save of the season. The 30-year-old right-hander has remained New York's top option for ninth-inning work even with Luke Weaver back in the mix. Over his last 26.2 innings, Williams has recorded a stellar 2.36 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 38:5 K:BB while converting each of his 11 save chances.

Burke will serve as the Angels' starting pitcher Wednesday against the Mets in what's expected to be a bullpen game, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Burke has posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.35 WHIP this season while primarily serving in middle relief, but the Angels will use him to begin Wednesday's contest, marking his first start of the season. The 28-year-old has just four appearances of more than one inning on the campaign, so he'll likely turn the game over to the bullpen at some point during the bottom of the second.

The Astros recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

With Lance McCullers (finger) headed to the injured list, Hernandez will rejoin the Astros' bullpen to give the Astros an extra relief option. The 27-year-old righty has given up two runs in two MLB innings this year, but he owns an impressive 1.70 ERA and 0.97 WHIP through 37 frames in the minors.

The Royals optioned Hoffmann to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Hoffmann was called up by Kansas City on Friday and appeared in two games during his brief time in the majors, allowing four runs (none earned) with a 1:4 K:BB over 2.2 innings. The 25-year-old will now head back to Omaha, where he has a 2.31 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 31 outings this season.

The White Sox optioned Gonzalez to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday.

The right-hander was called up by Chicago over the weekend but will head back to Charlotte with Davis Martin (forearm) returning from the injured list to start Tuesday in Tampa Bay. Gonzalez has appeared in three games for the White Sox this season and allowed two earned runs with a 5:4 K:BB over five innings.

The Rays transferred Rodriguez (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday.

Rodriguez recently experienced a setback with his right forearm strain that resulted in him being pulled off his rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on July 12. He will be eligible for activation in mid-August but could require more time than that to recover.

Hader walked two in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Monday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Hader got two outs on his first six pitches, then walked two batters before getting Josh Naylor on a flyout to end the threat. Hader took a blown save in his last appearance before the All-Star break and has walked four batters over three innings in two outings since the season resumed, which has made for a tumultuous July for the Houston closer. He's still been sharp enough when it matters, converting 26 of 27 save chances this season with a 2.36 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 66:13 K:BB across 45.2 innings.

Hoffman threw a perfect ninth inning to secure the save in Monday's 2-1 win over the Yankees. He struck out three.

Hoffman struck out the side en route to locking down his 24th save of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander has endured quite a few hiccups as Toronto's closer this year -- his ERA stands at 4.68 in 2025 -- but he's fared much better since the beginning of June. Across his last 19 outings (17 innings), Hoffman has delivered a 2.65 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB while converting 11 of his 12 save opportunities.

Ginn will start Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Ginn has been pitching out of the bullpen of late, but he'll return to a starting role for Tuesday's matchup. He should be able to cover at least a few innings for the A's considering he fired 3.2 innings June 30 out of the bullpen and has navigated multiple frames in relief since.
