The Rangers outrighted Gonzales to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Gonzales cleared waivers and will stick around in the Texas organization after he was designated for assignment Friday. The veteran southpaw was up with the Rangers for about a week and a half, making two relief appearances and allowing one earned run on seven hits and four walks across six innings.

Munoz (5-4) blew the save but picked up the win in Sunday's 7-6 win over Minnesota. He allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out two over one inning.

Entering with a one-run lead in the ninth inning, Munoz surrendered a game-tying solo homer, though Seattle's offense came through in the bottom of the frame to earn him the win. Sunday marked the 27-year-old's first blown save since June 7, as he has converted 19 of 25 save opportunities in 2026. Overall, Munoz owns a 3.98 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 63:17 K:BB across 40.2 innings.

Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said Sunday that Barnett will maintain his spot in the rotation during the upcoming week, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

After coming up from Triple-A Las Vegas on July 22, Barnett entered the rotation last weekend and tossed 3.1 innings of bulk relief in a 2-0 loss to the Twins. He then handled a traditional starting role for his next appearance Thursday, limiting a red-hot Red Sox squad to three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings. He's earned himself a more permanent stay in the rotation, even though the Athletics will get J.T. Ginn (finger) back from the 15-day injured list Tuesday. Kotsay confirmed that the Athletics won't be moving to a five-man rotation, so one of Jeffrey Springs, Jack Perkins, Jacob Lopez and Gage Jump would appear to be in line to lose his starting role.

Go began serving a 10-game suspension at Triple-A St. Paul on July 25 after he was ejected from his appearance against Columbus a day earlier when an illegal substance was found in his glove, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

The 28-year-old right-hander was making his debut for St. Paul after the Twins optioned him to the Triple-A affiliate. Go, who retains a spot on the Twins' 40-man roster, allowed four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over four innings in four appearances for the big club prior to his demotion. He'll be eligible to return to action for St. Paul on Thursday.

Zeferjahn allowed two hits and struck out four without walking a batter over 1.2 scoreless innings to earn the save in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Brewers.

Zeferjahn came in during the eighth inning after Sam Bachman (arm) was lifted due to fatigue. While it wasn't quick and tidy from there, Zeferjahn threw 24 of 30 pitches for strikes and worked around a pair of singles to preserve the lead. He's given up three runs, nine hits, two walks and two hit batsmen while striking out 21 over his last 12.1 innings, adding two saves and three holds in that span. Zeferjahn is at a 3.66 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 75:32 K:BB through 51.2 innings this season. He has held onto a high-leverage spot for most of the campaign, collecting four saves and nine holds for the worst team in the majors.

Bachman is dealing with right arm fatigue, Jack Janes of TheSportingTribune.com reports.

Bachman entered Sunday's 3-0 win over Milwaukee in the top of the eighth inning, recording one out while walking a batter before he was removed from the contest. Bachman threw nine total pitches before his departure, and manager Kurt Suzuki explained after the game that the right-handed pitcher is dealing with some "dead arm." Bachman is expected to be further evaluated, and it's currently unclear if he'll need to undergo an MRI.

The Mariners recalled Simpson from Triple-A Tacoma ahead of Sunday's game against the Twins.

Simpson has appeared in four games out of the Seattle bullpen this season, giving up three earned runs on four hits and two walks across three innings. He'll likely be in store for an abbreviated stay with the big club, as the Mariners will need to clear room on the 26-man active roster for the newly acquired Seranthony Dominguez prior to Tuesday's series opener with the Tigers.

The Tigers recalled Hanifee from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

The right-hander will fill the roster spot vacated by Tarik Skubal, whose trade to the Dodgers was made official Sunday. Hanifee has been a solid relief option for Detroit this season with a 3.98 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 20.1 innings, though he's surrendered nine home runs and struck out just eight batters.

The White Sox optioned Davitt to Triple-A Charlotte after Sunday's 9-1 win over the Rays.

Davitt was called up ahead of Sunday's contest and tossed an inning of relief, allowing one run on two hits while striking out one. The right-hander is expected to be replaced on the 26-man active roster by the newly acquired Luis Castillo, who is expected to make his White Sox debut during the team's upcoming series versus the Red Sox.

The Twins optioned Anderson to Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

The 26-year-old's demotion will free up space on the big-league roster for trade-acquisition Dean Kremer. Anderson has made seven appearances in the majors between Boston and Minnesota this season and has a 2.19 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB over 12.1 innings.
