Fairbanks picked up the save Tuesday against the White Sox, throwing a perfect ninth inning. He did not record a strikekout.

Fairbanks snapped a streak of five consecutive outings allowing at least one hit. During that stretch, he surrendered four runs on nine hits, including three home runs, with eight strikeouts across five innings. Wednesday's save was Fairbanks' 25th of the campaign, tying his most saves in a season during his seven-year career. He has a 3.15 ERA in 54.1 innings this season.

Munoz secured the save Tuesday against the Cardinals, striking out one and allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

Munoz recorded his 34th save of the season in his third straight scoreless outing. The All-Star right-hander owns a 1.63 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 71:25 K:BB through 55.1 innings on the campaign. Munoz is third in the major leagues in saves for the year, and he's established a strong grip on the Seattle closer role.

Jax will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

With Ryan Pepiot unavailable for his scheduled start Wednesday due to fatigue, the Rays will turn to Jax to lead off what's expected to be a bullpen game. The 30-year-old right-hander has given up eight earned runs in just 12 innings since being acquired from the Twins at the trade deadline and isn't expected to pitch past the first inning during what will be his second opening assignment in seven days.

Bowlan will serve as the Royals' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

The Royals are seemingly going to rely on their bullpen to get through Wednesday's contest, and they'll start by sending out Bowlan for the first handful of outs. The 28-year-old owns a 3.57 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 35.1 innings on the season and has five appearances of at least two innings, so there's a chance he remains in Wednesday's contest past the first frame before getting the hook.

The Rays transferred Van Belle (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

The right-hander landed on the injured list over the weekend due to elbow inflammation and will now be sidelined for the rest of the season. The results of Van Belle's MRI have yet to be disclosed, so it's unclear if he's expected to be available for the start of spring training.

The Rays claimed Boushley off waivers from the Rangers on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham.
