Manaea allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers. He did not factor into the decision.

Manaea left in line for the win and surrendered fewer than three runs for the first time in seven starts, but it was still not the sharpest of outings. The lefty induced only three swinging strikes and threw just 48 of 90 pitches for strikes en route to issuing a season-high four walks and matching a season low with the two punchouts. The 26-year-old also yielded a pair of solo home runs and has now been taken deep at least once in seven straight starts. Following a terrific April that featured a no-hitter, Manaea is sporting a 6.63 ERA since the start of May. Next up is a home start against the Royals on Sunday.

In the words of manager Kevin Cash, Andriese will "fill the gap" in Friday's home game against the Mariners in the wake of Chris Archer's placement on the disabled list with an abdominal injury, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.

What that phrase means exactly is a topic for debate. Andriese certainly could play the role of a traditional multi-inning starter, filling in for Archer in the starting rotation, or he could be brought in for an extended relief stint after the opening pitcher if Cash opts to go with a "bullpen day." The exact manner in which he'll be deployed may not become known until later in the week.

Lopez allowed one hit and four walks while striking out four over seven scoreless innings, but was handed a no-decision in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Lopez did his job, leaving after 106 pitches with the White Sox up by two, but Nate Jones ran into trouble in the eighth to take a win off the board. The 24-year-old right-hander has had a couple of shaky outings recently, but has been the White Sox's best starter. He lowered his ERA to 3.42, but he's not getting the support. Eight times he's allowed two runs or fewer and walked away with a loss or a no-decision. He'll will next take the ball Sunday on the road against the Red Sox.

Beeks will be called up by the Red Sox to start Thursday's game against the Tigers, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Beeks will join the team in Boston for a spot start as manager Alex Cora wants to give the starting rotation an additional day of rest with the team's next off day not until June 18. The 24-year-old has a 2.56 ERA and 0.98 WHIP with a whopping 80 strikeouts over 56.1 innings this season at Triple-A Pawtucket.

Paredes was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Paredes will offer a fresh bullpen arm after manager Mike Scioscia deployed five relievers in Monday's win over the Royals. The 23-year-old owns a brutal 7.71 ERA and 1.93 WHIP across 9.1 big-league innings this season, so he'll likely be limited to low-leverage work during his time with the Angels. Caleb Cowart was sent to the minors in a corresponding roster move.

Rumbelow (neck) was reinstated from the disabled list Tuesday, Tacoma Rainiers broadcaster Mike Curto reports.

Rumbelow is set to make his season debut after recovering from a nerve issue in his neck. In 2017 at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he posted a 0.62 ERA and 0.83 WHIP with 30 strikeouts across 29 innings out of the bullpen.

Pomeranz was moved to the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with left biceps tendinitis, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.

The move is retroactive to Saturday, so Pomeranz will be eligible to return June 12, although it's unclear if he'll be ready after the minimum. Pomeranz felt discomfort following his last start Thursday against the Astros, per Drellich. More information on a possible return date will likely surface in the near future.

Hendriks (groin) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.

Hendriks landed on the disabled list April 14, but he's finally ready to return to action after suffering a groin strain. In six appearances this season out of the bullpen, Hendriks has allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out one across three innings.

Littell was added to the major-league roster ahead of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Dustin Morse of the Minnesota Twins reports.

Littell is scheduled to start Game 2 of the doubleheader, although he figures to head right back to the minors following the conclusion of Tuesday's action. Through five appearances at Triple-A Rochester, he's posted a 2.57 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with a 30:10 K:BB over 28 innings.

Chapman struck out the only batter he faced to earn his 14th save of the season Monday against the Tigers.

The Yankees entered the ninth with a five-run lead, but they called on Chapman after an error and two doubles plated a pair of runs. He wasted no time, pumping in five of six pitches for strikes as he punched out Victor Martinez to end it. Chapman has been dominant of late, allowing just one run over his last 9.2 innings to lower his ERA to 1.46 and striking out 15 during that span.
