The Twins recalled Adams from Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday.

The right-hander was optioned to St. Paul after Thursday's loss to the White Sox but will quickly return to the big-league roster with Bailey Ober (elbow) headed to the injured list. Adams has struggled in seven MLB appearances this year, posting a 7.20 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB over 10 innings.

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

The right-hander was called up Saturday and will return to St. Paul after firing two scoreless frames against Pittsburgh. Across two stints in the majors this year, Klein has given up two earned runs with 2:4 K:BB in three appearances (4.1 innings).

The Brewers optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Nashville on Sunday.

The 24-year-old spent the past week in the majors but will return to Triple-A after making two appearances and giving up three runs on five hits and a 3:4 K:BB over 5.1 innings. Rodriguez could return to the rotation at Nashville, where he has an 8.03 ERA through eight appearances (five starts) this year.

The Brewers reinstated Zastrzyny (shoulder/ribs) from the 60-day injured list Sunday.

After spending the first couple months of the season on the shelf due to shoulder and intercostal strains, Zastryzny is ready to join the Brewers after six scoreless rehab appearances. The left-hander covered a career-high 22 frames in the majors last year and had a 2.45 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB.

The Marlins recalled White from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

White had been one of the top relievers at Jacksonville this season, accruing a 1.24 ERA and 1.00 WHIP while striking out 30 batters over 29 innings. Consistently finding the strike zone has been an issue for the right-hander throughout his minor-league career, however, and after posting a 14.3 percent walk rate this season, White may not be asked to handle a high-leverage role. The Marlins will be treating Sunday's series finale against the Mets as a bullpen game, so White could be called upon to cover an inning or two in relief following opener John King.

Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Sunday that Crochet (shoulder) began experiencing lat tightness over the past few days and will have his throwing program shut down for the time being, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Though he initially expressed optimism that he would return in the minimum amount of time after landing on the 15-day injured list April 29 due to left shoulder inflammation, Crochet now remains without a clear timeline to rejoin the Boston rotation more than a month later. The southpaw had been scheduled to face live hitters in a simulated game Tuesday, but that plan has now been scrapped. Tracy noted that Crochet will visit doctors early this coming week and will likely undergo an MRI, which could offer some clarity on the 26-year-old's next steps.

The White Sox recalled Murphy from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

The left-hander returned from a month-long stint on the injured list due to an elbow issue in early May but was immediately optioned to Triple-A. Murphy has surrendered seven earned runs with a 6:5 K:BB over six big-league innings this year, but he'll rejoin the MLB club with Tyler Gilbert going on the family medical emergency list.

The White Sox placed Gilbert on the family medical emergency list Sunday.

The left-hander was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday and will now step away from the team for a few days to be with his family for unspecified reasons. Gilbert will be eligible to rejoin the active roster after three days and can remain on the family medical emergency list for up to a week. Chris Murphy was called up Sunday to round out Chicago's bullpen.

Jax (back) is listed as Tampa Bay's scheduled starter for Monday's series opener against Detroit, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

The right-hander departed his last outing Tuesday in Baltimore after being struck in the back by a line drive, but he looks like he'll be ready to go for his next turn through the rotation. After struggling in the bullpen to begin the campaign, Jax has pitched well since being moved to the starting rotation in late April, posting a 1.71 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB across 21 innings.

The Rays designated Wantz for assignment Sunday.

The right-hander just had his contract selected by Tampa Bay on Friday but will lose his place on the roster after giving up five runs across 1.2 innings Saturday against the Angels. Wantz seems unlikely to garner much interest on the waiver wire given that he posted a 7.04 ERA and 1.78 WHIP in 23 innings for Triple-A Durham prior to the promotion.
