Hendriks (elbow) pitched a prefect fifth inning for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

Hendriks, making the first appearance of a rehab assignment, needed 12 pitches (10 strikes) to dispatch the side in order on a flyout and two groundouts. He threw seven four-seam fastballs (topping out at 95.6 miles per hour), one curveball and one slider, per Baseball Savant. Hendriks is confident he'll return from the 60-day injured list and pitch in the majors later this season, and he could be a helpful piece out of the bullpen as the Red Sox attempt to make the postseason.

Alexander did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out five.

Alexander entered at the start of the third inning and pitched all the way into the eighth, allowing just one run prior to a two-run homer by Corbin Carroll. He then allowed a single to Lourdes Gurriel that ended his outing one out short of six full frames. Despite the two late runs allowed, Alexander was still in line for the win until the Diamondbacks touched up closer Pete Fairbanks for three runs in the ninth to send the game into extras. The 5.2 innings represented Alexander's longest outing since tossing 7.1 innings on May 17.

Dominguez earned his fourth save of the season Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing one earned run on one hit and zero walks in 1.1 innings. He struck out three.

Dominguez allowed a solo home run to Rob Refsnyder in the ninth but was otherwise excellent, escaping a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and striking out three batters in the ninth inning. With incumbent closer Craig Kimbrel allowing earned runs in back-to-back appearances, manager Brandon Hyde appears to have turned over the closer role to the newly acquired Dominguez. The 29-year-old Dominguez has been superb since coming over from Philadelphia on July 26, converting all three of his save chances while logging a robust 1.74 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 10.1 innings.

Hader struck out two batters in a perfect ninth inning to earn a save against the White Sox on Sunday.

Hader carved through the top of the White Sox order with ease to pick up his 27th save of the year. Despite some shakiness throughout the season, he's now converted 27 straight save chances since blowing his first opportunity as an Astro on April 2. Hader is currently riding a 9.1-inning scoreless streak, lowering his season ERA to 3.42 alongside a terrific 84:18 K:BB through 55.1 frames.

Latz (forearm) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Sunday.

Latz has been sidelined since Aug. 2 and began throwing off a mound Thursday. He's been used in relatively short stints out of the bullpen, so his rehab assignment shouldn't be particularly lengthy.

Yates allowed a run on one hit and struck out two over one inning, taking a blown save in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Twins.

The Rangers had a five-run rally in the seventh inning to sneak ahead, but Yates couldn't protect the one-run lead in the ninth. He allowed a solo home run to Carlos Santana, which gave Yates his first blown save in 22 opportunities this year. The closer has still pitched incredibly well with a 1.36 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 66:22 K:BB over 46.1 innings this year, but he's allowed three runs (two earned) over eight innings in August.

Green allowed a hit over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Cubs.

Green has given up a run in three of his last five outings, but he's picked up four saves and one loss in that span. The veteran right-hander continues to handle the closing duties fairly well for the Blue Jays while Jordan Romano (elbow) works back from arthroscopic surgery. Green is up to 13 saves this year while adding seven holds, a 3-3 record, 1.82 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB across 39.2 innings.

Francis (6-3) allowed three hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over seven shutout innings to earn the win over the Cubs on Sunday.

Joey Loperfido's second-inning home run was all the support Francis needed in this outing. Over his last three outings, Francis has allowed just three runs while posting a 22:1 K:BB across 19 innings. It's relatively newfound success for the 28-year-old, as he did little of note in the first half of the campaign. Francis is at a 4.38 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 58:16 K:BB across 63.2 innings over 21 appearances (seven starts) this season. He's projected for a favorable home start versus the Angels in his next appearance.

Fairbanks is expected to be placed on the injured list due to a lat strain, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Fairbanks was hit hard in his last outing Friday and blew a save chance, as he served up three hits and two earned runs. Additional reporting from Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com indicates that Fairbanks will undergo an MRI on his right side Monday, after which he will likely be placed on the injured list. The Rays will likely mix and match the closer role in Fairbanks' absence, though Colin Poche and Manuel Rodriguez have most recently worked in high-leverage roles in the bullpen.

The Angels designated Cisnero for assignment Sunday.

Cisnero was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday after missing nearly four months due to shoulder inflammation, and he'll lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters after one appearance. The 35-year-old has a 6.89 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB over 15.2 innings this season.
