Sam Hentges RP | SF
Guardians' Sam Hentges: Moved to 60-day IL
The Guardians transferred Hentges (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
Hentges has been on the shelf since July 12 due to left shoulder swelling and was removed from his rehab assignment Aug. 9 with soreness in the shoulder. The move to the 60-day IL means that Hentges won't be eligible to return until Sept. 10. Anthony Gose was called up from Triple-A Columbus to take Hentges' spot on the 40-man roster.

Guardians' Anthony Gose: Joining big-league roster
The Guardians selected Gose's contract from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.
Cleveland DFA'd Gose on Aug. 9, but he stuck around in the organization after clearing waivers. Just 10 days later, he'll return to the Guardians' active roster, taking Alex Cobb's (fingernail) spot as Cobb hits the IL. Gose allowed two runs across 1.1 innings in his lone MLB appearance this season but has a 3.46 ERA with a 55:25 K:BB across 39 innings out of the bullpen for Columbus.

Easton Lucas RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Easton Lucas: Claimed by Jays
The Blue Jays claimed Lucas off waivers Monday.
The Tigers designated Lucas for assignment Friday after he allowed two runs in 3.1 innings. While he finds a new home in Toronto, the 27-year-old will likely report to Triple-A Buffalo. Lucas logged a 3.51 ERA across 33.1 innings for Detroit's Triple-A affiliate. Alek Manoah (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Lucas.

Dany Jimenez RP | ATL
Athletics' Dany Jimenez: Takes loss in IL return
Jimenez (1-3) took the extra-inning loss to the Giants on Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits over one inning. He struck out three.
Jimenez was thrown right into the mix following his activation from the IL earlier in the day, as he was called on to preserve a 1-1 tie in the 10th after closer Mason Miller had handled the ninth. Jimenez immediately faltered by surrendering a two-run home run to Jerar Encarnacion with Matt Chapman aboard, and he followed it up by conceding a solo shot to the very next batter, Michael Conforto. The right-hander then bore down to record three consecutive swinging strikeouts, but the damage was done. Despite the long-ball issues in his return, Jimenez has typically been one of the most trusted later-inning options in Oakland's bullpen over the last two-plus seasons, and he's therefore likely to continue seeing plenty of hold opportunities, at minimum.

Scott Blewett RP | BAL
Twins' Scott Blewett: Re-ups with Minnesota
Blewett re-signed Saturday with the Twins on a minor-league contract.
Minnesota selected Blewett's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Aug. 9, but he made just one appearance out of the big-league bullpen before he was designated for assignment less than a week later. After he cleared waivers, Blewett elected free agency Friday, but he quickly came to an agreement with the Twins on a new deal. He reported back to Triple-A, where he's accrued a 3.56 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 55:17 K:BB across 55.2 innings on the season.

Clay Holmes RP | NYM
Yankees' Clay Holmes: Blows save Sunday
Holmes was charged with a blown save in Sunday's loss to the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits while striking out three over an inning.
Holmes entered trying to preserve a 1-0 lead and was unable to do so. He allowed a one-out double to Colt Keith, who would come around to score on a base-hit from Jace Jung to send the game into extras. Since July 5, Holmes has six blown saves to his seven saves, and he leads all of baseball with 10 blown saves this season. On a positive note, he does have multiple strikeouts in each of his last four appearances and is still tied for sixth in baseball with 26 saves. For the year, Holmes owns a 2.88 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 56:14 K:BB in 50 innings.
