Sborz was optioned to the Dodgers' alternate training site Tuesday, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

The move clears a spot for Justin Turner (hamstring) to return from the injured list. Sborz spent a week on the big-league roster in his latest stint with the team, allowing one run in two innings of relief work.

Flores was optioned to the White Sox's alternate training site Tuesday.

Flores spent nearly two weeks on the big-league roster but made just two appearances, allowing two runs in two innings of relief in his first career big-league opportunities. Jace Fry (back) returned from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Yacabonis (0-1) took the loss during the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the A's, giving up one run on two hits and three walks over 1.1 innings. He struck out one.

Called upon as the opener in the nightcap, Yacabonis threw only 21 of 44 pitches for strikes, and his line would have been a lot worse if Kyle Lewis hadn't robbed Ramon Laureano of a grand slam with a leaping grab over the wall to end the first inning. The 28-year-old right-hander should continue to handle a low-leverage role in the Seattle bullpen, assuming he even remains on the roster.

Loaisiga is set to be activated off the injured list Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The reason for Loaisiga's stint on the IL has not been revealed, but it appears to be resolved as the right-hander is expected to return to the active roster Tuesday. Loaisiga last pitched Sept. 1, so he may have some rust upon returning to the mound. The 25-year-old has compiled a 3.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB over 17 innings this season.

Ponce de Leon allowed two runs on four hits and a walk over six innings during the win against Milwaukee in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader. He struck out nine and did not factor in the decision.

Ponce de Leon turned in his best performance of the season Monday, fanning a season-high nine batters while walking just one. The lone blemish on his line was a two-run homer by Jedd Gyorko in the fourth inning. He lowered his season ERA to 6.23 and will likely be optioned back to the team's alternate training site.

Webb issued a walk in a scoreless inning during a win over the Brewers in Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader. He struck out one batter and earned the save.

Webb was 0-for-2 in save chances this season prior to Monday with his last opportunity coming all the way back on Aug. 21. The 30-year-old southpaw has now made nine consecutive scoreless appearances, lowering his ERA from 5.40 to 2.30 during that span.

Lamet (3-1) allowed one run on three hits and two walks and struck out 11 over seven innings in a win over the Dodgers on Monday.

Lamet went toe-to-toe with Clayton Kershaw and got the better of the Dodgers' ace in this game. The only run Lamet allowed came on a Corey Seager groundout in the third inning. Lamet has struck out 11 in each of his last two starts. The 28-year-old has a 2.12 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 79:17 K:BB in 59.1 innings this season. The right-hander's next start is expected to be Sept. 22 versus the Angels.

Rogers (1-4) gave up two runs on two hits and a pair of walks in one-third of an inning to take the loss Monday versus the White Sox.

Rogers allowed four of the five batters he faced to reach base, and the two runs he gave up were enough to stick him with the loss. The 29-year-old saw his ERA balloon to 4.86 with a 1.56 WHIP in 16.2 innings this year. He is 9-for-11 in save chances across 18 appearances.

Colome (2-0) allowed a hit and a walk over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Monday versus the Twins. He struck out one.

Colome almost gave up a home run to Byron Buxton in the ninth inning, but it was ruled a ground rule double instead. The 31-year-old Colome lowered his ERA to 0.95 with a 1.05 WHIP and 15 strikeouts in 19 innings this season. The closer has also registered 11 saves in 12 tries.

Lopez (2-0) allowed one run on five hits and two walks over seven innings Monday, striking out three batters and earning the win over Atlanta.

Lopez dominated Atlanta's lineup all night with the lone blemish coming via a solo shot by Freddie Freeman in the sixth frame. It didn't hurt that his offense tallied 14 runs of support for him. The 27-year-old righty moved to 2-0 and lowered his season ERA to 5.23. Lopez will take on the Rays at home Saturday.
