McGough passed through waivers unclaimed and has been outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk, Rich Dubroff of CSN Mid Atlantic reports.

McGough was removed from the 40-man roster over the weekend, and he'll now head back to Norfolk, where he holds an ugly 12.71 ERA across 5.2 innings on the season.

Robertson walked one and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Sunday to notch his 10th save of the season.

He's now been scored upon just once in 13 appearances this season, leaving Robertson with a 0.68 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB in 13.1 innings. Barring a May meltdown, he seems determined to pitch in his second career All-Star Game in 2016.

Duffey (0-2) gave up three runs on six hits and two walks over seven innings Sunday while striking out nine in a 3-1 loss to the White Sox.

The strikeouts were a career high for Duffey, but despite the quality start, he didn't get the run support he needed to notch his first win of the season. His next shot at win No. 1 will come Saturday in Cleveland.

McHugh (4-3) allowed one run on five hits and one walk over seven innings Sunday, striking out five, to notch the win in a 5-1 victory over the Mariners.

His one mistake resulted in a solo home run by Robinson Cano, but otherwise this may have been McHugh's best start of the season. He's had an ugly beginning to his campaign, but he'll try to build on this win in his next start, Friday in Boston.

Graveman (1-4) couldn't escape the third inning Sunday, allowing six runs on five hits (including a career-high four homers) and three walks over 2.2 innings while striking out two in an 11-3 loss to the Orioles.

The dreadful outing sent his ERA soaring to 5.74, and after a solid beginning to the season Graveman has now given up 16 runs in just 13.2 innings while losing three straight starts. His next turn in the rotation is scheduled for Friday in Tampa Bay, but with Jesse Hahn available at Triple-A, Graveman will need to be a lot more effective to hang onto his spot.

Colome struck out one during a spotless ninth inning to earn his ninth save of the season Sunday versus the Angels.

It was quite a series for Colome's fantasy stock, as he recorded three saves and allowed just one baserunner in three innings. Colome is now 9-for-9 in save opportunities this season with a sharp 2.06 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, and his comfortability as the club's closer could give them something to think about as Brad Boxberger makes his way back from injury.

Andriese allowed just one run with three strikeouts and three walks across seven strong innings Sunday versus the Angels to earn the victory.

Making his first start of the season, the 26-year-old held a scuffling Angels lineup in check and bounced back nicely after allowing a run in the first inning. Andriese pitched well Sunday, which could ultimately earn him another turn in the rotation, but he is not currently scheduled to start during the upcoming week.

Kahnle was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

Kahnle didn't play during his most recent stint with the White Sox. He is used mostly to provide organizational depth to Chicago's bullpen. The right-hander has a 2.45 ERA in 11 relief inning in Triple-A during the 2016 season.

Farmer was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

Farmer tossed three scoreless frames during his most recent stint in the majors, striking out two and allowing two hits and a walk over that span. He'll now be returned to the Triple-A level, but is a likely candidate to return to the majors if the need for bullpen depth arises.

Colome nailed down his eighth save of the season, retiring the side in order during the ninth to help the Rays beat the Angels 4-2.

After striking out the leadoff batter, Angels first baseman C.J. Cron singled, but Colome erased him with a double play ball to end the game. He is now 8-for-8 in save opportunities with a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP while filling in at closer for Brad Boxberger, who underwent core muscle surgery in March. It will be very interesting to see what manager Kevin Cash does with the ninth-inning role once Boxberger returns. He is set to begin his rehab assignment next week.
