The Marlins optioned Fulton to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Fulton's stay with the Marlins lasted just one week, with the lefty striking out three batters and allowing no hits and one walk over three scoreless innings between his two relief appearances. He'll head back to Jacksonville and will likely move back into the rotation while he gives up his spot on the Marlins' 26-man active roster to right-hander Eury Perez (gracilis), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Wednesday against the Rangers.

Rogers gave up two runs (one earned) on three hits in one inning of relief Tuesday to take his third blown save of the season in an extra-innings loss to the Astros.

With Louis Varland getting some rest after throwing 40 pitches while working two of the prior three days, manager John Schneider had to look to other high-leverage options in a close game. Jeff Hoffman got the final two outs in the eighth inning with the score tied 4-4, and after the Blue Jays took a two-run lead in the bottom of that frame, Rogers got the call in the top of the ninth. The veteran right-hander couldn't close the door, giving up back-to-back singles to Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez to begin the inning and watching both eventually come around to score on a catcher's interference call and a sacrifice fly. The earned run was the first on Rogers' ledger since May 25, although he did get tagged for five unearned runs against the Cubs on June 19. On the season, he sports a 1.91 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB over 37.2 innings with one win, two saves and 17 holds, and he may be due for some rest of his own -- only teammates Mason Fluharty (42 appearances) and Braydon Fisher (40) have appeared in more games this season than Rogers.

Iglesias (0-2) took the loss Tuesday as Atlanta fell 7-6 to the Padres, giving up an unearned run on two hits in the 10th inning. He struck out one.

The veteran closer was brought in to keep the game tied in the ninth inning and got the job done, but Iglesias couldn't prevent the phantom runner from scoring in the bottom of the 10th as Manny Machado lined a single up the middle on the first pitch he saw in the frame to bring home Jackson Merrill. Iglesias has been tagged for runs in three of his last four appearances, and over his last nine outings he's stumbled to a 3.72 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB in 9.2 innings. He has yet to blow a save this season, going 15-for-15, but the 36-year-old right-hander seems to be wearing down, and it will be tougher for manager Walt Weiss to find opportunities to give Iglesias some rest with Robert Suarez (forearm) not 100 percent right now.

The Rangers optioned Corniell to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

Corniell was saddled with the loss Tuesday in Miami in his first appearance in the majors this season, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 3.1 innings. Winston Santos was recalled from Double-A Frisco to join the Texas bullpen as a replacement for Corniell, who will likely go back into the rotation at Round Rock.

The Mets recalled Pintaro from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Pintaro will serve as the 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cubs. The right-hander has pitched well when given a chance by the big club, allowing three runs with a 9:1 K:BB over 10.1 innings. Pintaro will likely be sent back down following the twin bill.

Murphy will serve as Chicago's opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

Right-hander Erick Fedde is on turn in the rotation and is expected to cover the bulk of the innings for the White Sox out of the bullpen once Murphy exits the contest, likely after covering the first frame or two. The White Sox are banking on the left-handed Murphy neutralizing the top half of the Cleveland lineup, which typically features two left-handed hitters in Travis Bazzana and Kyle Manzardo.

Young (elbow) walked and hit a batter but struck out three in a scoreless inning in his first rehab appearance with Double-A Columbus on Tuesday.

Young began a rehab assignment Saturday at the rookie-level Florida Complex League with a scoreless frame and followed that up with another scoreless outing as he moved up to Columbus. The left-hander is coming back from Tommy John surgery and is tracking toward a season debut around the All-Star break.

Munoz struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 14th save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Pirates.

The right-hander was at his dominant best, firing 12 of 16 pitches for strikes and popping triple digits on the radar gun with half his offerings, topping out at 102 mph. Munoz has been erratic this season, but he may be finding his form -- he's converted saves in four straight scoreless appearances while delivering a 7:2 K:BB in four innings.

Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said after Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Padres in 10 innings that Suarez wasn't available due to forearm tightness, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The injury explains why Atlanta didn't turn to Suarez and instead tried to get two innings out of closer Raisel Iglesias with the score tied late, a move that backfired in the 10th. Suarez last pitched Friday, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings and 28 pitches in a win over the Brewers. Weiss downplayed any concern about Suarez's forearm issue, noting that the right-hander could be ready to return to his usual high-leverage relief role in Wednesday's series finale.

Bednar tossed 1.1 perfect innings Tuesday to record his 15th save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Tigers. He didn't strike out a batter.

The veteran closer relied on weak contact to get the job done, tossing 14 of 17 pitches for strikes. Bednar has reeled off 10 straight scoreless appearances dating back to May 22, going 4-for-4 in save chances while adding a win over that span with a 0.64 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 11 innings.
