Rumbelow was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Rumbelow has one save in his three appearances but has also allowed four runs in just 1.1 innings of work. As a mediocre reliever with options, he'll likely bounce between Seattle and Tacoma for much of the season. The move clears room on the 25-man roster for Connor Sadzeck, who was acquired in a trade with Texas on Monday.

Lopez's next start will come Friday against the Mariners instead of Thursday, as Thursday's game has already been postponed due to rain, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

The two teams had an off day in the schedule specifically for this purpose, so the White Sox won't have to do anything to change up their rotation. Lopez will be looking to bounce back from a poor start in which he allowed four runs in four innings Saturday against the Royals.

Trivino earned his third hold in a win over the Red Sox on Tuesday, firing a scoreless eighth inning in which he recorded a strikeout.

Trivino has yet to allow an earned run and has yielded just a single hit and walk apiece across six dominant innings over six appearances. The 27-year-old's workload figures to remain elevated, given both his effectiveness and the fact he already logged 74 innings over 69 appearances in his rookie 2018 campaign.

The Yankees recalled Loaisiga from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to his scheduled start Wednesday against the Tigers, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.

The Yankees had already indicated when spring training ended that Loaisiga would open the season as the team's fifth starter, so the transaction merely confirms what was already known. Loaisiga should get two turns through the rotation but could be at risk of heading back to the minors shortly thereafter with CC Sabathia (knee/chest) on track to return from the 10-day injured list around mid-April.

Rogers gave up a run in 1.2 innings in Tuesday's win over Kansas City. He was used in the eighth and ninth innings when the game was tied.

Rogers gave up a home run and three hits with a walk and a strikeout. It wasn't a dominating performance, but he kept the Twins in the game, which they later won in an extra inning. After Rogers got Minnesota's first save, the Twins used Blake Parker in the 10th inning to close this game. Minnesota looks set to use multiple pitchers to close games based on matchups, though a more distinct pattern could emerge.

Martin allowed a hit in a scoreless eighth inning to pick up a hold in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Astros.

This marked the second time Martin entered a game in the eighth inning with Texas holding a lead. It didn't work out well the first time when he allowed three hits and two runs in a slugfest win over the Cubs, but the right-handed reliever preserved the lead Tuesday and got the game into the capable hands of closer Jose Leclerc.

Treinen gave up a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his third save of the season in a 1-0 win over the Red Sox.

Xander Bogaerts nearly made things interesting with a one-out double, but he got thrown out by Ramon Laureano trying to stretch it into a triple, and Treinen took care of the rest. The right-hander has picked up where he left off last season and already has an 8:2 K:BB through 6.2 innings to go along with his spotless 0.00 ERA.

Boxberger (0-1) gave up a run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in the 10th inning of Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Twins.

After Ian Kennedy blew the save in the ninth to send the game to extras, Boxberger had his own rough outing, leaving the back of the Royals' bullpen as big a mystery as ever. The right-hander has given up four runs in 2.1 innings to begin his stint in Kansas City, but Boxberger's 3:1 K:BB at least offers a little hope he will turn things around quickly.

Hildenberger (1-0) recorded the win Tuesday, striking out the only batter he faced in a 5-4 extra-inning victory over the Royals.

After Taylor Rogers ran into trouble in the ninth inning with the score tied 4-4, Hildenberger got the call to face Billy Hamilton and fanned him on three pitches to end the threat. The sidearmer was then rewarded after the Twins pushed across the winning run in the 10th. Hildenberger seems to be falling into a very narrow role for new manager Rocco Baldelli -- he's only faced one batter in both of his appearances so far -- but if he continues to excel, he could yet be a factor in Minnesota's wide-open closer picture.

Armstrong (oblique) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and will join Triple-A Tacoma for further rehab work, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Armstrong apparently got through his Tuesday bullpen, his second in three days, without issue. He now joins the Rainiers in Sacramento, where he'll throw live batting practice and then likely work in a couple of rehab outings. If all continues without setbacks, Armstrong would likely rejoin the big-league club when it returns from an upcoming road trip to Chicago and Kansas City.
