Pivetta will start for the Red Sox on Tuesday against the Yankees, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Pivetta will transition back into a rotation role over the final three weeks of the regular season after James Paxton was officially shut down Sunday due to right knee inflammation. The 30-year-old holds a 4.54 ERA and 150:47 K:BB through 117 innings (12 starts, 22 relief appearances) this season with Boston.

Englert (hip) was pulled off his rehab assignment Sunday to undergo further medical evaluation, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Englert had allowed nine earned runs on 16 hits and four walks through 11.1 innings of work with Triple-A Toledo. He's been on the major-league injured list since late July due to left hip tightness and now seems doubtful to make it back to the bigs this year.

Boston recalled Robertson from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Robertson has been torched for 14 runs -- 11 earned -- through his first 14.1 major-league innings this season, but the Red Sox need a fresh bullpen arm leading into Sunday's series finale against the Orioles.

Detroit optioned White to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

White, 24, has posted a 5.09 ERA and 44:15 K:BB through his first 40.2 major-league innings this year. Sawyer Gipson-Long is up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move to start Sunday's series finale against the White Sox.

Boston optioned Jacques to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

Garrett Whitlock (personal) is being activated from the bereavement list in a corresponding roster move. Jacques, 28, has registered a 5.06 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB across his first 26.2 major-league innings this year.

The Yankees recalled Misiewicz from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Misiewicz was claimed off waivers from the Tigers in early July and will get his first major-league opportunity with New York after posting a 3.91 ERA and 30:12 K:BB in 25.1 innings of work for their Triple-A affiliate.

The Yankees recalled Bowman from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Bowman is up in the majors for the first time since 2019 after pitching to a 3.86 ERA and 55:29 K:BB across 56 innings this summer at the Triple-A level. The 32-year-old right-hander figures to operate in a middle-relief role for New York.

Weaver was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Sunday.

Weaver gave up four earned runs over 4.1 innings of bulk relief Saturday against the Rays and has now been pushed off the 40-man roster. The 30-year-old right-hander carries an ugly 6.77 ERA in 110.1 total major-league innings this season between Cincinnati and Seattle.

Seattle recalled Bazardo from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.

Bazardo returns as a fresh bullpen arm ahead of Sunday's series finale against the Rays. The 28-year-old right-hander has allowed five earned runs in 4.1 major-league innings this year between Baltimore and Seattle.

King did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk over five innings against the Brewers while striking out nine.

King looked sharp against the Brewers, striking out four of the first seven batters he faced to open the contest. Two runs came across for Milwaukee in the top of the fourth, though only one was charged to King following a throwing error by DJ LeMahieu. The right-hander has now gone five innings in back-to-back starts, allowing a total of two earned runs over that stretch while posting a 13:1 K:BB.
