The Angels have recalled right-handed pitcher Ryan Brasier from Triple-A Salt Lake, MLB.com reports. Brasier posted a 4.13 ERA with 57 strikeouts in 56 2/3 innings for Salt Lake.

Rays starter Matt Moore confirmed Sunday that he's starting Tuesday against the Angels, the Tampa Bay Times reports. 

Moore has a 14-3 record with a 3.41 ERA over 121 1/3 innings for the Rays this season. He's been out due to an elbow injury. 

The Red Sox officially recalled reliever Rubby De La Rosa from Triple-A Pawtucket for the stretch run Sunday. The 24-year-old has appeared in five games for Boston this year. 

De La Rosa has a 4.76 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP and a 3-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio over just 5 2/3 innings this year. That said, De La Rosa has a bright future for the Red Sox. 

The Yankees have called up the following players as part of rosters expanding in September, the New York Post reports. 

New York has added: Catcher J.R. Murphy; third baseman David Adams; reliever Brett Marshall; reliever Cesar Cabral and reliever Dellin Betances. 

Mariners closer Danny Farquhar collected his 11th save of the season Saturday night against the Astros. The right-hander worked his way around a walk as he struck out two in a scoreless frame to secure a 3-1 victory.

Farquhar is 11 of 14 in save opportunities with a 4.47 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP.

Twins pitcher Liam Hendriks outdueled Yu Darvish to earn his first win of the season Friday as the Twins beat the Rangers, 3-2. Hendriks surrendered two runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out two in six innings.

Hendriks bounced back nicely from giving up seven earned runs in his previous start. He takes a 1-2 record, 5.13 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB ratio into Wednesday's start against the Astros.

White Sox pitcher Hector Santiago was unable to make it out of the fourth inning in his team's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox Friday, giving up four earned runs on five hits and five walks while striking out three in 3 2/3 innings.

Decisions have been few and far between for Santiago despite pitching relatively well before tonight. He brings a 4-8 record, 3.43 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 129:65 K:BB ratio into Wednesday's start against the Yankees.

Rays pitcher Matt Moore gave up four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two in four innings in his tune-up with Triple-A Durham Thursday. He threw 43 of his 74 pitches for strikes.

Moore is expected to rejoin the Rays next week, facing the Angels on Sept. 3. He owns a 14-3 record with a 3.41 ERA in 121 1/3 innings.

Mariners closer Danny Farquhar picked up his 10th save in his team's 3-2 win over the Astros Thursday, walking a batter and striking out one in a hitless and scoreless ninth inning.

Farquhar took the loss in his last appearance while giving up a run on two hits but bounced back Thursday to post his sixth hitless inning in his seven appearances. He owns a 4.57 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 69:16 K:BB ratio in 45 1/3 innings.

Rays closer Fernando Rodney earned his 31st save with an easy ninth inning Wednesday at home against the Angels. Rodney struck out two in a perfect inning. 

Rodney went 1-2-3 on 15 pitches as he lowered his ERA to 3.72 on the year. The closer has given up one run -- a blown save in his last outing -- over his last nine appearances. He has two blown over his last 10, however. Rodney is 31 for 39 in save situations.
