Rogers (1-5) allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one to blow the save and take a loss Wednesday against the Tigers.

Rogers entered the game with a one-run lead, but he allowed a pair of doubles and an infield single to lose the advantage. He has now allowed at least one earned run in eight of his last 11 appearances, during which he's maintained a 7.59 ERA and 1.78 WHIP. The Padres have kept Rogers in the closer role despite his struggles, though he could start to lose save chances -- at least in the short term -- if his performance doesn't turn around quickly.

De Los Santos (2-0) earned the win Wednesday over the Red Sox. He allowed a hit and struck out one in 1.1 scoreless innings.

De Los Santos benefited from the Guardians surging ahead in the ninth inning, and Emmanuel Clase locked down the one-run lead for the save. This was De Los Santos' sixth straight appearance without allowing a run -- he's covered seven innings and allowed five hits with five strikeouts in that span. The 26-year-old is quickly building trust in the Guardians' bullpen, as he owns a 2.87 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 36:11 K:BB in 31.1 innings while adding a save and two holds.

Clase pitched a perfect inning and struck out one to earn the save in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Red Sox.

Josh Naylor's solo home run in the ninth inning gave the Guardians a one-run lead, and Clase was able to protect it. This was his sixth straight scoreless inning, though he's picked up just two saves in that span and only three saves in July. The closer is still one of the best relievers in baseball with a 1.31 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 43:6 K:BB while converting 21 of 23 save chances through 41.1 innings this year.

Chargois (oblique) will report to Triple-A Durham on Friday to continue his rehab assignment, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

The 31-year-old began the rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League last week and will move up to Triple-A after two appearances. Chargois suffered the oblique strain during his first outing of the season April 8, so he'll likely require multiple outings in the upper minors before being reinstated from the injured list.

Anderson (elbow) will report to Triple-A Durham on Saturday to continue his rehab assignment, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Anderson began his rehab assignment last week in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, and he'll move up to the Triple-A level after making two appearances in the FCL. The veteran right-hander was limited to six innings last year due to elbow issues and underwent surgery in October, so he'll likely require a couple weeks in the upper minors before being cleared to rejoin the Rays.

Fulmer (3-4) pitched a scoreless inning of relief and earned the win Wednesday against the Padres.

Fulmer pitched the top of the ninth with the Tigers down 3-2, then earned his third win of the season when Detroit scored twice in the bottom of the inning. The righty has pitched well this season with a 2.84 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 38 innings, and he could be someone the rebuilding Tigers decide to move before the trade deadline next week. Fulmer is set to become a free agent after the season.

Kelly was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rockies with right biceps discomfort, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Kelly entered in the eighth inning and allowed a double, hit a batter and recorded two strikeouts before exiting with the injury. According to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times, the right-hander said the injury is related to the nerve issue in the same biceps which delayed his start to the season, though he doesn't expect to miss any time after the injury cropped up again Wednesday.

Lopez hasn't pitched since Saturday while managing a back injury, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

Lopez surrendered a run over one-third of an inning and was charged with a blown save Saturday, though it's unclear if that's when the back issue first surfaced. The White Sox have a scheduled day off Thursday, and it's unclear if the 31-year-old, who has a 3.61 ERA across 77.1 innings this year, will be available Friday versus the A's.

King (elbow) underwent surgery Wednesday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

King has been ruled out for the season due to a fractured right elbow, and his procedure addressed that issue. The status of his ligament isn't yet clear, and the right-hander will be evaluated in 8-10 weeks to determine whether he'll require Tommy John surgery. If King doesn't need to undergo the procedure, the Yankees hope to have him back in time for spring training 2023.

Martin is listed as the Diamondbacks' scheduled starting pitcher for Saturday's game in Atlanta.

Coming out of the All-Star break, Martin entered the Diamondbacks' rotation as a replacement for Dallas Keuchel, who was designated for assignment. The 26-year-old right-hander limited the Nationals to one earned run over four innings in his first outing for the big club since May 4, but the outing was marred by the five free passes he issued. Despite Martin's bout with wildness, he looks like he'll get at least one more chance to prove he belongs in the big-league rotation.
