The Angels claimed Burke off waivers from the Rangers on Tuesday.

Burke had been designated for assignment earlier this week and has now been scooped up by an American League West rival. The left-handed reliever holds a career 4.22 ERA and 172:53 K:BB across 182.1 innings over parts of four big-league seasons.

The Angels claimed Robertson off waivers Tuesday from St. Louis.

Robertson has been at the Triple-A level since returning from the injured list in late June. He had logged a 7.48 ERA across 21.2 innings for Triple-A Memphis prior to being DFA'd by the Cardinals. The 25-year-old reliever is expected to report to Triple-A Salt Lake.

The Athletics designated Muller for assignment Tuesday.

The left-hander last pitched since Aug. 3 versus the Dodgers and surrendered six runs across one inning. Muller had a 3.02 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB in 41.2 frames this season prior to that outing, but he won't retain his place on Oakland's 26-man and 40-man rosters.

Sandlin (7-0) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning to earn the win Monday over the Cubs.

Sandlin also took a blown save after allowing an inherited runner to score, but the Guardians regained the lead in the bottom of the eighth to make him the pitcher of record. This was Sandlin's first win in nearly a month. He's been a little shaky with a 4.40 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 14.1 innings since the start of July. For the year, he's at a 3.80 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 52:19 K:BB with a save and six holds through 42.2 innings.

Clase struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Monday's 9-8 win over the Cubs.

Clase had already pitched both Saturday and Sunday, but he made quick work of the Cubs, needing just 10 pitches to earn a save for the third day in a row. That's likely to make him unavailable Tuesday should a save chance arise, though Hunter Gaddis and Cade Smith will be fresh as two of the Guardians' relievers that didn't appear Monday. Clase is now 36-for-39 in save chances with a 0.65 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 49:7 K:BB through 55.1 innings this season.

Winckowski (3-1) gave up an unearned run and retired all three batters he faced en route to picking up a win Monday in the Red Sox's 5-4 extra-inning victory over the Rangers.

Winckowski was back in the bullpen two days after he was called upon to make a spot start in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Astros. He ended up serving as more of an opener for that contest, tossing 38 pitches over three innings of one-run ball before giving way to Brad Keller, who piggybacked him for four innings. Winckowski made quick work of the Rangers in his return to a relief role, inducing three groundouts to retire the side in the top of the 10th inning before the Red Sox broke through with two runs in the bottom of the frame. Given the light workload Monday, Winckowski could be a candidate to return to a starting role on three days' rest in Baltimore on Friday, when the Red Sox will require a replacement in the rotation for the injured James Paxton (calf). Cooper Criswell could end up serving as the longer-term replacement for Paxton, but he's currently on the COVID-19 injured list and may not be fully recovered from his illness to take the hill Friday.

Green picked up the save Monday against the Angels, allowing a solo homer with no strikeouts in the ninth inning.

Green gave up a home run to Jo Adell to start the bottom of the ninth but recovered by downing Nolan Schanuel, Zach Neto and Matt Thaiss to earn his 12th save of 2024. Green has landed a league-leading five saves in August, allowing two runs across 6.1 innings during the month. He has a 1.86 ERA on the year.

Francis (5-3) picked up the win Monday against the Angels, allowing one run on one hit and no walks across seven innings. He struck out eight.

Francis only allowed one runner to reach safely Monday, with Mickey Moniak lifting a solo homer in the third inning and spoiling what would have otherwise been a perfect outing. Still, it was another strong start for the 28-year-old, who's bounced between the rotation and the bullpen this season. In his last three starts, Francis has allowed five runs on 10 hits and two walks with 17 strikeouts across 17.2 innings. He's expected to remain in the rotation for the final stretch of the regular season, with a start against the Cubs in Chicago tentatively scheduled for Sunday.

Murfee (elbow) tossed 25 pitches in live batting practice at the Astros' spring training facility in Florida on Monday, MLB.com reports.

Throwing live BP represents another milestone in the recovery process for Murfee, who underwent surgery last July to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow. The Astros could have him throw a couple more live BP sessions before he heads out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Murfee could be an option for the Houston bullpen in late August or early September.

Holmes won't be available to pitch Monday against the White Sox for rest purposes, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Holmes was forced to battle to secure a four-out save during Sunday's 8-7 victory over the Rangers, firing 24 of 45 pitches for strikes. Skipper Aaron Boone failed to disclose who he would deploy in a save situation Monday, only that Holmes would be shut down for the day following a heavy workload.
